Returning to theiquealion of the admiwion
of Texaa, be related hi own position theroon,
quoting from Ms speeches' and acta, "to liowl
that he had atwayi beeo fcpposcd to it--be-causa
he knew that whoever possessed
Text, it wauld be a elare territory, and he
u mwtljinji to titend that institution. He
had time and again exprwsed himself aa be
ing strongly oppoaed to the introduction of
any new tlave States, or the acquisition of
alare territories. Upon that point he knew
no change, in hie sentimenU at .the present
)me. 'Sensation.! He had, Orf one occasion,
he belieedr expressed himself against the
acquisition of any more territory north south
'east, or west. lie had expressed his belief
in , the Spartan maxim- "improve, adorn
what you have seek no further." . But what
was our present condition ? Texas had been
admitted with all her territory, with the in
stitution, of slavery, and an irreparable law
'by which, if hew States were erected out of
any portion of her territory, they should be
lave States; and ho wished it to be distinctly
Understood that lie considered this govern'
ment solemnly bound by law to crento new
slave States out of Texas, when she shall
contain the necessary population. Slavery
was excluded from California and Now Mex.
ieo by tha law of nature, which had erected
impassible barriers to its irtrodtirtion there.
This he considered as a fixed fact. That
that country was to ba free, was settled by
the arrangement of Providence, and could
not be changed. Regarding this as a fixed
fact, he would say that he would net vote
for tho insertion into any bill giving territo
rial governments to the new territories any
provision prohibiting slavery there any re
enactment of the will of God. . He would put
j.nto it no Wilmot Proviso nothing that was
so useless and nugatory. He meant to stan
or fall upon the proposition that every foot of
the territory in this country has a character,
fixed and irreparable, . and which cannot be
changed in any way. ,
. In this connection, he said that the Pro
viso, in the case of Oregon, was nugatory and
senseless, and observed that if there was any
of the Northern democracy who now desired
to put a Wilmot Proviso into an act giving
government to California, he supposed that
the same man would feel it necessary to as
sert the same principlo for the purpose of
saving the saovv-clad hills of Canada from
the foot of the slave, in case she shall be an
nexed. (Laughter.) Tha provision would
Ve quite as necessary and proper in the one
case as in the other. In the next place Mr,
VVebster proceeded to consider the complaint
made by each section of the Union against
the other beginning with the complaints of
the South, and passing over that in relation
to the manner of collecting and disbursing
the revenue, lie alluded to the difficulty
arising from the failure of the North to give
proper aid in the rapture and delivery of fu
gitive slaves. In this, he thought the North
in the wrong and the Smith right. It was a
cause of complaint upon the part of the South,
and one which the North ought to remove.
''The duty was imposed by the Constitution,
and it was not consistent with morality for
Northern men and Legislatures to attempt to
evade thin provision. Congress might to pass
some law removing the evil. For one, he
designed supporting the bill (Mason's) now
pending in the Senate, having that object in
view. In connection with this point, he
made some remarks upon the propriety of
Legislative instructions, objecting to therm
and saying, in effect, that if instructions
should be sent to him in relation to any mat
ter affecting the interests of the country he
should pay ne more regard to them than
be would if appointed an arbiter to decide
tome matter in dispute between individuals,
to tha instructions of him who appointed him.
Considering, in tho next place, the agitation
in the North, complained of by the South, he
said be had no doubt but that during the last
twenty years money enough had been sub
scribed in the North for abolition presses, so
cieties and lecturers, to purchase the free
dom of every alave in the land ; but, unfor
tunately, he believed the sympathies of these
societies had never been extended in that di
rection. . Ha valued highly the frcedem (A tha press,
yet it was too true, that the press was fre
quently prostituted, and evil articles were
frequently found in the papers, having a mis
chievous and irritating tendency, as there
were such expressions in many speeches
mad in tho houses of Congress. Indeed, he
must say, that the vernacular of the country
had been greatly vitiated and depraved by
the. charaotur of the speeches in Congress.
Laughter.) -.After administering a rebuke to
jieraons for having compared the absolute ig
norance of slavery with the independent,
dueated free labor of the North, he elo
quently censidered the question of the disso
lution of lb Union, scouting tho idea of
peaceful secession. Could any man ba so
foolish as to expect such a miracle ) Could
tiny one .dream cf the breaking tip of this
great country, without terrible convulsions?
As well might we luok for the upheavings of
the waters of the mighty deep without dis
turbing the surface. But what was to be
tho result of disunisn ? Where and how
was tbe line to be drawn! What was to

sion might again be applied in case the pro
position of secession should be talked of over
the grave of Andrevf Jackson". In, conclu
sion, Mr, Webster delivered a most itnrmt-
sioricd and eloquent tribute to the Value of
the Union, and the spirit of patriotism and
philanthrophy whieh would maintain it. .
Mr. Calhoun rose to reply to the observa
tion made by Mr. Webster, that the acquisi
tion, of Florida and Louisiana resulted from
the increase of the cotton growing interests
or the desire of the South to extend slave
territory. The acquisition of Florida was the
result of an Indian war, and Louisiana was
purchased with a view to the navigation of
the Mississippi. He denied that in his con
nection with the project of Texan annexation
he was actuated by any desire for the exten
sion of slave dominion. ;..
He had advocated the annexation of Texas
in order to defeat the scheme Jy which abo
litionists sought her connection with Great
Britain, with a view to the abolition of slave
ry in the Mates where it existed. It was
upon this ground alone that be had advocated
it. ' The Senator had said that the South ac
quiesced in the ordinance of 17R7, without a
dissenting voice. . Mr. Calhoun contended
that that measure was under discussion three
years before its adoption, during which it
met with much opposition and waa finally
adopted as a compromise. He complimented
Mr. Webster en the bold and manly position
which he had taken in relation to tbe arrest
of fugitive slaves.
The Senator was willing and ptepared to
fulhT contracts and stipulations, and to vote
for a bill having for its object the better en
forcement of thoso stipulations ; but he must
say to the gentleman that all penal laws upon
the subject would be inoperative unless the
people and Legislatures of the Northern Slates
would be co-operate. The Senator had ex'
pressed himself opposed to the Wilmct pro
viso, and ready to throw open the territories
to the slave Slates as well as to the free.
Mr. Calhoun hoped that in the same spirit
the Senator would be willins to remove tho
impediments placed in the way ef the slave
holding emigrant, by the Mexican laws in
force in California. He could not agree with
Mr. Webster that the Union could not be dis
solved. Could no insult, broken? faith, or ag
cression, produce that result? The Union
could be broken, and could only only be pre
served by an exercise of justice, good faith,
and a rigid adherence to the constitution.
Mr. Webster followed in reply. What he
desired to say was, that the breaking up of
the Union by voluntary secession of Slates
was impossible. He did not doubt that a
course of oppression or aggression might pro
duce resistance upon the party" oppressed,
but that would bo revolution not secession.
In rejoinder to Mr. Calhoun's answer to his
position about the cause which produced the
acquisition of Florida and Louisiana, he would
suggest that it was usual for wise statemen,
having- an object to accomplish always to
take advantage of occasion to accomplish it
The occasion might be Indian wars, the se
curing the navigation of a river, or what not
(Laughter.) Again if the object of Texas
annexation was simply to prevent her acqui
sition by Great Britain, could not that have
been done as effectually by making it free
territory as slave 1 (Laughter.)
In conclusion, he said that when the direct
question of the admission of California should
come before the Senate, he designed saying
something iu relation to the boundaries and
Constitution of that State, and the expedien
cy of admitting her, under all the circum
stances, into the Union.
' Mr. Calhoun again rose. He said, that in
claiming Texas for slavery, the South thought
it would give them by no means as much as
they had been excluded from in the West.
Mr. Walker took the floor, and the Senate
adjouined.
The Awful Steamboat Disaster on the Alabama
River The Loss of Thirty Lives, and over
a Quarter of a UlilUon of Dollars in Cali
fornia Gold fyc.f fyc.
We published, on Saturday, and in yester
day's Times, a brief telegraphic account of
tho destruction, by fire, of the steamer St.
John's, on the Alabama river, by whieh thir
ty lives and over a quarter of a million of dol
lars were lost.
The telegraphic despatch was dated Mont
gomery, Alabama, on the 7th inst., and was
as follows :
Thn steamer St. John's was burnt to the
water's edge, near Bridgepott, Dallas county,
on her upward trip to Montgomery, at six
o'clock, on Tuesday evening It is supposed
that about thirty persons were burnt to death
and drowned. The fire was accidental, and
caught from the heat of the boilers. All the
ladies on board, numbering seven or eight,
were loyt. Lieut. Rice, of the United States
Army, lost some $250,000. Several Califor
nians also lost their all. The boat was in
sured for $20,600. She cost $40,000.
The Californians reported to have lost their
all by this disaster, were probably passengers
by the steamship Alabama, which arrived at
New Orleans on the 27th uls., from Chagres.
We annex a list ol the passengers by the A :
Spirit of the Times.
A Nxw Mouth for thb Mississippi. The
people of Louisiana are thinking seriously of
opening a mouth for the Mississippi into
Lake Ponchartrain, back of New Orleans. It
is believed that it would relieve the river of
its rloods, and prevent any such terrible over
(lows as that of last year.
Ft re. The grist Mill of Mr. James Siming-
ton, in Chilisquaque township, was destroyed
by fire on the 5th inst. The fire originated
from tha the stove. Loss estimated at $5000
of which about one half was covered by in
surance. When our misfortunes are greater than we
can bear, old mother earth takes us under

SPEECH OF MR. WEBSTER ON THE SLA.
VERY QUESTION.
Our readers will find in our columns this
week Mr. Webster's great sppech on the
slavery question. On this all important
and all absorbing question, Mr. Webster's
views were looked upon with the deepest
interest ; and consequently every nook and
corner of the floor, and the galleries of the
Senate chamber were crowded to suffocation.
It might well be said, even now, "that a
second Daniel has come to judgment," for
it cannot be denied that the judgment of no
man living is received in the United States
Senate or elsewhere with more profound
respect and deference, than that of Daniel
Webster. The impassioned and fervid elo
quence of Clay, may be more captivating,
and the chaste and imaginative tyle of
others may be more pleasing to the ear,
and the J arning and erudition of others
more varied and extensive, but in profundi
ty of thought and clearness of judgment, in
complicated and difficult questions, the in
tellectual supremacy of Webster knows no
I HT 1 i . a
rival, iur. weoster is noi witnout his
faults, and as a politician is deficient in tact
and management. In his delivery he is
plain and unostentatious, making little or
no effort to catch the popular applause by
ornateness of style or figurative language,
and yet iu bis speeches may be found some
of the finest passages in the English lan
guage.
The course of Mr. Webster will, no doubt,
surprise many of hi constituents whose
ideal on slavery amount almost to fanati
ciam. Yet it was bold and patriotic, and
we believe, resulted Irom high and holy
motives the salvation of the Union. He
was well aware that much was expected
from him, and that he had a high responsible
duty to perform, and he rose to perform it,
as he says in his opening, "not as a Massi
chusetts man, or a Northern man, but as au
American."
' ; CHOLERA. ' '
We trust that the following account of
the ravage of cholera at Trinity, Louisiana,
s not correct, or at least highly exaggera
ted. Mr. Snyder referred to. U from this
place, as are also three of his boarders, vit :
Charles and Perry Hileman, and Edward
B. Masser, youngest brother of the editor
of this paper, who is engaged in the Mer
cantile business in Trinity. The Trinity
Advocate of the 23d of February, four daya
earlier, speaks of the Cholera there, but
sayi there were no serious cases existing at
that time. ,

Cholera, descended upon the population with
a fatality almost unheard of. Ten or twelve
physicians resided there, or called in from
the adjacent country, were scarcely able to
save a patient who bad been taken sick.
Flight was the only safety for the well, and
death only reigned in Trinity. Mr. Snyder,
tormeriy a resident of Natchez, kept a board
ing house there with twenty-five or thirty
boarders, all of whom who did not run away,
died. ' Mr. Snyder stayed and took care of
them until the last one died, then descended
to Ihe mouth of Kert river, and we are sorry
to add that he too died on the steamer Cincin
nati, going to Natchez.
THE SLAVERY QUESTION.
Until this all absorbing question is settled,
Congress will do but littile or no business.
We are pleased to see that there is now some
prospects of a compromise, and the final set
stlament of this difficult and fearful question
which has seriously threatened the dissolu
tion of this glorious Union. The question
will most probably be adjusted in the follow
ing basis:
California will be admitted ns a State. !
A Territorial government for New Mexico
or all the territorial acquisitions from Mexico,
not included in the Slate of California, with
out the Wilmot Proviso.
A stringent law will be passed for the re
covery of fugitive slaves.
The Wilmot Proviso will not be insisted on,
as the territory is such as effectually to ex
clude slavery. The admission of California
as a State will be compensate for to the
South by the strong law for the recovery of
fugitive slaves. The North will yield the
Wilmot Proviso on the further consideration,
that ii, contrary io expectation, slavery is
carried into the territories, they will cause
the question to be tried in the Supreme Court
whether slavery can exist in those countries
in which it had been abolished by the laws
of Mexico. Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster are
of opinion that it cannot exist except by an
act of Congress, as the laws of Mexico touch
ing slavery, not having been repealed are
still in force.

be seen by a notice in our advertising col
umns. MR. MILLIARD AND MR. STANLEY.
These two eloquent Southerns had a
sort of running fight in debate some days
since, in Congress. It may not be gener
ally known that Mr. Hilliard ia a Metho
dist clery man from Alabama. He is rank
disunionist and an ultra pro-slavery man,
justifying slavery on scriptural grounds.
Mr. Stanley is from North Carolina. He is
aa able debater, and spunk to fhe back
bone, and seems to have but little love lor
political parsons as will be seen by the fol
lowing extracts from the debates :
Mr. Hilliard, by general consent, was al
lowed to mark a personal explanation in regard
to the proceedingsof yesterday. He commen
ced by saying that the Methodist Episcopal
Church had devolved on him ceitain duties,
and that he sometimes addressed congrega
tions fromthe pulpit. He was not to be driv
en from this position. His leligious obliga
tions had constrained him in his intercouise
with all men, to be courteous and respectful.
Yesterday, the gentleman from North Car
olina. (Mr Stanley,) bud chosen him for a
mark. He spoke of his fiiundship for the
North, and the principles which animated
them, and everywhere bora the ensign of the
Republic. He was triumphantly elected.
He challenged the gentleman to produce a
single passage from his speech in iavor of a
dissolution of the Union. He had, it is true,
not hesitated to declare, lhat if certain acts
were committed by Congress, it would lead
the Southern people to fall back on the rights
which they have never surrendered.
Mr. Stanley did not content himself with
visiting Ihe grave of Washington but he al
luued to Jackson as having saved the country
and he spoke of General Taylor ag having the
power to use his military forces. The laurels
urouud Gen, Taylor's brow were dearly earn
ed and were not to be crimsoned with blood
Hi confidence in Gen. Taylor was unlimited
and he trusted that his influence would be
found on the fide of peace; la the Philadel
delphia Convention Mr. Stanley waa trying to
defeat the nomination of Gen. Taylor.
Mr. Stanley I was not in tbe Methodist
Convention.
Mr. Hilliard That remark in an exhibi
tion of the member's pronenets to disrepect.
He can't forbear, even now, I thought that
he was endeavoring to defeat the nomiuation
of Gen. Taylor in Philadelphia. My confi
dence has grown with my knowledge of the
character of the distinguished chief.
Mr. Milliard's concluding remarks were
moderate and well timed. .
Mr. Stanley, by unanimous Consent, -..was
permitted to reply. He was willing that the
report of the proceedings should go forth, as
reported in the Globe, and let the world . see
who waa to blame. lie did not know that
Mr. Milliard was within the sound of his voice
when he spoke yesterday, and did not eare.
While he (Stanley) was speaking Mr. Milliard
made a remark which caught his ear, and
then it was he would pay his respects to the
gentleman from Alabama. .
Mr. Milliard. What did I aayf a 01 '
Mr. Stanley. That it was not true.
,'i Mr, Milliard-i-You wholly misconstrued my
remarks. 1 simply asked a question of a gen
tleman near me.
Mr. Stanley How did 1 know whether
you spoke to him or to met The remark
reached my ear md excited my feelings,
and that is the reason I made the remark I
did. But for the preceeding remarks I would
not have done so. t think that the gentleman
is not incapable of any such purposes.
Mr. Hillinrd I am Incapable of origins
ting offensive remarks towards any gentle
man. 1 insisted that the grievance came
from Mr. Stanley.
Mr. Stanley. God help the conscience of
these political parsons. I don't understand
it. The country knows that he is a preacher
without himself publishing it. I attended the
Methodist Church in my early youth. 1 re
spect the preachers they don't understand
Vattelle and Grotins like the gentleman there
these. hundred dollar fellows who preach
glad tidings to white and black. They go
where nobody else goes, and don't preach
for glory or pay, like Mr. Hilhard, or any of
that sort. He said that no gentleman would
say what I did.
Mr. Hilliard 1 said no gentleman would
allow himself
Mr. Stanley I want to know whether 1
am to treat him as a clergyman ora politician.
Does he follow the "meek and lowly Jesusl"
the "man of sorrows and acquainted with
grief;" and when smitten on one cheek does
he turn the other 1 and say that I am no
gentleman. Is this Alabama Methodism 7
He refers to me as the member from North
Carolina. When gentlemen wish to be offen
sive, they say "member" But he has shown
by his remarks that I have a higher respect
for members than he has for gentlemen, ho
commenced on me by saying that I had cho
sen a clergyman for my adversary. This is
an insinuation that I have made a cowardly
attack on a Methodist preacher.
I suppose the honorable gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Stevens,) is one of those.
(Laughter.) Mr. Stanley then explained what
he meant by a desecration of the Scriptures.
It meant to divert the Scriptures from their
holy purpose,' and use them irreverently
in ordinary conversation. This was all he
meant nothing more. But Mr. Hilliard said
this was false. Me then took up portions of
Mr. Milliard's speech, and commented there
on, and contended that the extracts were not
in accordance with the Scriptures that they
looked towards disunion, and were incompa
tible with Christianity.
He stands guilty, according to his own an
swer. I have endeavored to Bhow that he
did preach disunion, and I think I have sue
ceeded. It is not true that I threatened the
people with the military power of the Gov
ernment. There was a man now in the
Senate, who in 1833, made much such threats.
I saw two gentlemen recently, who heard ihe
President at that lime declare, lhat if he
were guilty of the first overt act, he would
hang him as high as llamnn, "by ihe eter
nal." Whether Gen. Taylor will not protect
the Union he has sworn to do so I leave for
the preacher of treason to decide.
CHEMICAL AFFINITY. This law in
Chemistry is remarkably illustrated in the
equilibrium between the supply and waste in
diseased animal matter through the agency
of G. W. Merchant's Celebrated Gargling Oil.
It is well known lhat chemical action takes
place only under certain circumstances ; tha
some bodies have no tendency to unit? pro.
perties. The foimer are said to have no af
finity for each other, their mixture is mere
ly mechanical, and no change lakes place.
The Utter class of bodies, in which is inclu
ded the Gargling Oil in its application to mor
bid animal matter, act by their affinity for
each other, their action being productive of
chemical phenomena, and the properties of
one or both are altered. Hence the strong
affinity of the constituents of the GarglingOil
to unite with the elements of the morbific
matter, may be referred the beneficial influ
ence exerted over so great a variety of disea
ses, most of which were considered as incu.
rnbe.
