| | In 1822, Webster returned to U.S. Congress from Boston, and in 1827 he was elected to the Senate from the state of Massachusetts. | | | Webster assisted his friend Jeremiah Smith in fighting the action all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States, where he personally argued the case. | | | Webster, however, was successful in defending his stance in a Senate debate of 1830, culminating in his second reply to Hayne [2] in which he uttered the famous phrase, "liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable". |
