Mr.Webster admitted that the letter was, in some respects, boastful and rough.

This was a fair criticism, and it may be justly said that such a tone was hardly worthy of the author.

But, on the other hand, Huelsemann's impertinence fully justified such a reply, and a little rough domineering was, perhaps, the very thing needed.

It is certain that the letter fully answered Mr.Webster's purpose, and excited a great deal of popular enthusiasm.

The affair did not, however, end here.
