It makes so large a draft upon our apace, that we have no room for cora• meats, and we can only say, that while there in mach to admire, there are some things we could desire bad been left unsaid. it displays, le • whole, however, the most enlarged patriotism, and a . spirit of liberality and conciliation which the Southern hotspura would do well to Imitate. All we have heard, op to this moment, from the moat distinguished men of the country, 'has only tended to rivet more forcibly in our mind, the wisdom of the policy recommended by the Prost. dent, for settling the territorial and slavery quo. Gorr, and we hope the lover, of the Union, and the friends of peace and good government will rally around it as the most quiet, easy, and just mode of settling this vexed question. We need not commend Mr. Webster's apwiell tithe attention of our readers. No one can pass ft by without a thorough perusal. It wail listened ecf..with intense' internal by an immense assem blage, and it will receive the profound' attention of the people Mille whole country. Colman or Manama Boannzuw.liirru, AT WM. 11= HALL, TO VIOUT.—This lady wilt make her lira bow before ■ Pittsburgh audience, this even. ing. Madame Bornatein comes heralded as pot. erasing musical talents of a very high order, and to Paris, New York, and Philadelphia, she has been listened to with great admiration, by full and fashionable audiences. The New York clines, *specially, have spoken of her in high terms of laudation. Madame Heinlein, we are pleased to tee, will hose the valuable aid of Messrs. !Ocher, Olamboni, and Herr Vogel, for this occasion. Such treats an misty offered us here. We have no doubt that the beauty tied taste of oar eitY will be pies lent to 'greet the advert of this accomplished artiste who is about to take op her permanent residence among us. lnterterenee of England with the D mastic Polley at the United State. Want of space in our paper of Saturday com pelled on to defer come editorial remarks which we intended to have appended to the intereming debate In the Senate, at Wouhigton, to rerence to the extraoidinary letter or protest of the British Minister, upon the embj;et"ef the iron Mimesis of the United States. la his letter, he say. that, it. "having been represented to Her Majesty's Got-. armee*, that there is some Idea on the part of the- United States of increasing the duty on British Iron, he Ina been instructed by his Government to 'express to the United Slum the hope that no ad. titian will be made to the duties Imposed by the present Tariff of the United State., which already weigh heavily upon British productions." Notwithstanding the remark► of several of the distinguished Senators of both patsies, who sek uswledged the righted the forelgn government to protest In a respectful manner against the pamage crimp lawn which might have a tendency to 'in jure her interests, we are disposedlo look upon it , an unwarrantable, as well as • most indelicate interference with nor domestic policy, and which ought not fora moment to be tolerated, much less approved of. Might not the American Govern ment protest against the right of England to es tablish duties upon the great etaplea•which we annually export to that country. England would of counts pay no heed to such a remonstrance, and would only look upon it at a piece of Yankee temperances*. The view• taken by our own Senator, Mr. Cooper, who is feelingly alive to the great inter ests of Pennsylvania, though expressed in strong language, se e m 'to'. 'no perfectly just, and will meet like entire approval of an constituente, Is well althe conotry generally. We Minuet admit, Of tolerate (for one moment) the right of a Lireign proer to oitompi to contv!, or in any manner ra le/fere with any law or policy, which we may deem best to create for the protection sad benefit of our own interests, and which m no manner comes In conflict with the rights and laws ol othernationia tryera glad to see that the Pre t& of the eons try tizorove and sustain the course of Seamy Cioper. • .

WEBSTER'S SPEECH ON TUE SLAVERY ILUESTION IA MATZ OF 0. rrxrics, MASON- 7,.1850 Mr. President, I wish to speak to day, not , Mumachusefle man, nor as an Northern mat., Let as an American, and a member of the Senate of the United Sines- his fortunate that there is a Swam of the Caged States—a body not yet moved Goo:tits propriety, not lost to a just nose of Its own dignity, and its own high respolutibili flea end a body to which the country looks with confidence for wise, moderate, patriotic, and heat h* doctrine. It Is not to be &stied that we hoe In the'crudat cfstrangsgitatione, and in the midst of very considerable dangers to our Institutions of government.

Ido not expeet,-Mr. President, to hold, or to he fit to bold the helm in this combat of the political elements; but I have a duty to perform, and I mean to Per. - form witlffidelity—not without ensue of the', surrounding dangers, bat not without hope.

Thera are the topics that I pro. pose to myaelf to discuss; then are the motives, and the sole motives, that tali:tenon me io the wish to communicate my opinions to the Senate tad the country; and if I can do any thing, hooter. or little, for the promotion of these ends, ,I shall fume accomplished all that I desire. Mr. Foetid/al, it may not be amiss tomcat very briefly to the events which, equally andden and extraordinary, have brought the pehticot coodi. floe of the country to what it now is. In May, lEN6, the United Stain dniarecl war spas: Mexico. Her ormies, Men on the frontiers, en tered the pretences of that Itepublie; met and de kited all her troops; penetrated her mountain panes, and occupied her capital The manse force of the United States took possession of her ikon and her towns on the Atlantic and on the Pacific. In len than two years a teeny was ne gotiated by which Mexleeceded to the United States A vast territory, extending Fevre or eight hundred miles along the shoed of the Pacific; ranching back over the mountains, and amens the desert, until it joined the frontier of the Stele or ! Tem. It so happened that, io the distracted and feeble stem of the MAI:CAA Government, before the declaration of war by the United States against Mexico had become known in California, that the people itilCadifornia, ander the lead of Amerman flitotech perhaps, generally, overthrowing the ex isting Provincial Gsrernmeat of California—the Memnon ainhorities—and run up an indepen dent flag. When the news arrived at San Fran. -chic* that war had been declared by the United State. mein,. Mexico, this Independent flag was polled down cad the stars and stripes of this 'Onion hoisted in le stead. So, sir, before the war was over, the power. of the United States, willowy and naval, had possenioo of San Fraus ciooo and Upper California, a great ash of emi grants from vnious pans ot the world took place in Cabforuia to / Sl6 and 1847. Sot cow, behold another wonder. *Fla January of ISIS,. the Mormons, It is said, or some of them. made a discovery of an-extra ordinarily rich One of gold—or, rather, of a very grad gnantity of gold, hardly tit to be celled • mine, for it was spread so near the coshes-on g be fewer pan of the South or Amnion branch of /no Sacramento. They nettled to have ed re couceal their discovery 10f Dome tisk hat soon an Other discovery, perhaps of grratir m p h was made of gold, in another part of the ACKAIALO breech of the Sacramento, and near god, Fort, an it in called. The fame of these discoveriee spread for and wide. They excited ;mete and mote the vim if emigration toward. which had already taken place; and persona crowded •in hundreds, and flocked WAIF do the Bag !Olden Random. This, as I by" , a said, took place in the winter and epilog of 11349. The digging commenced in the sprang of that year, and from chat time to thigthe work of search lag for gold has teen prosecuted with a auccese not heretofore known in the history of ad. globe. We all know, sir, how incredtdons the American public was at the accounts which reached us at first of these discoveries; bat we all know that these aCIXISIPIS received, and continue to receive d a lly coufiranstion, and down to the present am aent I suppose the assurances are u strong, alter the ekperience of wand months, of mines of gold apparently ineshanalble in the regions near Bon Francisco, Califomla, a. they were at any period of the earlier dates of the accounts,— It eo happened, sir, that, although in the time of peace, It became a very important subject for kg. Illative consideration and legislative decision to provide a proper Territorial Government Mr Gilh• foroia, yet differences of opinion in the council.s of the Government prevented the establishment of any such Territorial Govemments_for California sit ;he last session of Congress. tinder this stem of things, the inhabitarusof San Francisco and Cal• jamas—then amounting to a great number of pimple—ln the swum= of lost year, thought it to be their duty to establish a local eovertiment.— Under the proclamation of General Raley, the people chose delegates to a Convention—that Con 'cation met at Monterey. They formed • Con stitution foe the State of California, and it was 'adopted by the people of California In their prima ry assemblages. Desirous of immediate connex ion arithihe United States, its Senators were ap pointed and Repreantatives were chosen, who have come hither, bringing with them the authen tic Conotution of the State of California and they now present themselves, asking, in behalf of their State, that the State may be admitted into this Union as one of the United States. TER Conan,. mho, sir, contains en express prohibition against slavery or involuntary servitude in the State of California. it is maid. and I suppose holy, that of the members who composed that Convention some sixteen were natives and had been retideete of the slavebolding State; about twenty were from' the non.slaveholdlng States. and the remelo. ing ten members were either native Californians or old settlers in that • country. This prohibition etfaituit slavery, it is alleged-- Mr. Hale—Will the Senator give way null order Is restored , The Vice President—The Sergeant-at-Arms will see that order is restored, and no more per sons admitted to the door. Mr. Cass—l trust the scene 01-the other day will not be repeated. The &meal:lug-Arms must display more energy In suppressing this disorder. Ur. Hale—The:noise isoutside the door. Mr. Webster. And it is this circumstance, sir, the prohibition of slavery by that convention, which has contributed to ruse—l do not say it has wholly raised—the dispute as to the propriety of the admission of California into the Union under Mils constitution. Its not to be denied, Mr. Pres. ident —embody thinks of denying—that, whatever mesons were assigned at the commencement of the late war with Mexico, it was prosecuted to the purpose of the =quoit= of territory, and under the alleged argument that the lemma of thnitory was the only hem in which proper compensation mild be made to the United States by Mellor:Mr the vulvaes claims and demands which the people of this Government had against her. Al agorae. it will be band that President Polk's message at the commencement of the session of December . 1847, avowed that the war was to be prosecuted until some acquisitieo of territory was made.— Aid as the acquisition wn to be south of the hoe of the United Seam. in warm climates and men tries, it was naturally, I suppose, expetted by the South that whatever'aegainemis were made in that region would be added to the alaveholdiog portion of,the Muted Stater. Evens have turned oat as was not expected, and that expectation war not realized end therebre same degree of thattopoint. einem an d surprise has teaulted, of course In oths er word.,it s obvious that the question which bee so long ouged the reentry, and at soma tames very unonidy alarmed the Wells of wise and goad men, bat come upon us for • fresh dis casnon—te question of Slavery in thue United &Stet Now, am, I propose—perhaps at the expense of detail and consequent detention of the Senate—to review historically this question of slavery, which, partly in consequence% its own merits, and part p ly, perhaps moody, In utter it is discussed in one and the ether of the emery, has been &source of so much alienation and unkind feeling between the different portions of the Union . We all know, air, that slavery has existed in the world from time immemorial. There was slave ry, LO the earliest periods of history. In the Once •MI nation. There was slavery among the Jews; the theocratiegionemmut of that people made no injunction attune it. Thorp was slavery among :the Greeks, and the Meantime paossephy of the Greeks found, or sought to had, a poi:memo for it exactly upon the grounds which have been as sumed for such 'justification in this cameo, that is, • neutral aed original difference among the en. =a of mankind, Ma inferiority of the black or Colored race to the white. The Greeks Pieldtha their system of slavery upon that urcond precisely They held the Affrican and In some pans the Asiatic, tribes to be In ferior to the white race; but they did not Maw, I think, by soy clew process of lope, that, if this were tree. the more intelli gent and the stronger hadtherefore a right to sob. legate the weaker.. The more manly philosophy and jurisprudence of the Romans placed the jus tification of slavery on entirely different ground. The Roman jurists, from the first and down to the fall ~f that empire, admitted that slavery was against the Morel law, by which they maintelned that all men, of whatsoever clime, color, or cape. city, were equal; bat they mullet' slavery, first upon the temtoe and authority of the law of na tions—arguing, and urging truly, that at that day the conventional law of eatema admitted that captives its war. whose lives, according to the no eons of the times, were at the absolute disposal 01 the apart, might, In exchange for exempilon from death, be made slaves for life, and that such servitude might deuced to their posterity. The jurist. of Rome also maintained that by the civil laws them might be sennule--finvery, personal and hereditary—first, by the eel:unary act of an ludo:Meet who might sail tumuli' into slavery, , second, by his beteg received Into a state of slavery by his credllorein satisfaction ore debt, and, third ly, by being placed in a elate of servitude or els very for crime. At the Introduction of Chnstani ty into the world, the Roman world was tall o: staves, and I suppose there Is to be foiled no in junction agamst that relation between man and man la the teaching. by the gospel drums Christ , or any of his Apostles. The object of the inatroc tion,tutparted to mankind by the founder of CU:. 'amity was to touch the been, purify the reel, and improve the hoes of individual mon. That Oleo went directly to the first fouotain of all political and all some rotations of the human race—the in. divides' heart and mind arena . Now so, upon the general instate and charac ter andiedneeeme of slavery, there miles a wide difference between the Northern portion of this country and the Sositharti. It is said on the ono side that, ((not the subject of any injunction or di rect prohibition In the New Testament, slavery is a atone; that it is founded merely in the right of the strong:me and that it Lean opmession, like all unjust wus, like all those conflicts by which a mighty nation subjects'a weaker nation to their will, and that slavery, in is moue, whatever may be skid of it in the modifications which have taken place, Ii not in Oct recording to the meek spint of the gospel. ft snot kindle affectioned. It doesene 'sseek anotheris end not its own." It doe. not "let the oppressed go fru."

These are thousands of religions men, with eon • Lieletleell as tender as any of their brethren at the North, who do not see the unlawfulness .e devery, sod there are more thousands perhaps that what. soarer they may thick of it in its origin, and as a matter depending upon natural right, yet take things es they are,‘ sod, finding slavery to be an established relation of the society where they live, can see no crii in wtileh—let their opinions on the abstract questwe he what they may—it is in the power or pole* fitouerouom to relieve themselves from this relate:eh *MI: is this "iii pat, candor obliges me to say, that I believe Mei aroma as conscientious, plan) of them, nod of the religious people all of them, are they are to the North in holding different °pintoes Why, sir, the honorable Senator from *oath Carolina, the other day, alluded to the great upsa rattan of tluil great relive:us community, the Mob. odist Episcopal Church. That separation was brought dont by differences of opinion epee this peculiar subject of sllayery. I felt great concern as that d i spute weal en shoat the result, and I was in hopes that the differenos ef opinion might be adjusted, becalm I looked upon that retie:mu* deriomiaalloa sense er the greet props or reUyion and morals througbaut the whole country, from Maine to Georgia.

I barn mad all their proosediege and all their arguments, hat have never yet been able to come to tbo :noels sloe that there was any real ground for that aeon , noon , in other worde that no good mild be pro duced by that separation. Sir, when a /location of this kind takes hold of the religious senemeno of mankind, ud canoes to be Moaned In religions assemblies :Atha clergy and laity, there is always to be expected,m always: to be feared, a great de gree of excitement. It is in the nature of man, manifested by Me whole history, lest religious die. pates are apt to become warm, and men's strength of conviction la proportionate to their views of the laaftlittitle of the questions. In all sorb do. pates there will sometimes men be bond with whom every thing Is alisolote—absolutely wising They see the right clearly; or absolutely right.

And , they sin not seldom willing to establish that line epos: thee own ealaVlLaiOaa of the truth and the joetice or their awes or nu, and they are willing to mask and guard t fi ne by placing along it • eerie. of dogmas, as Lau of boundary are marked by pees and moues. Thera are men who,wttheleer perceptlaaa, ill they think, of their own duly, do got see how too hot a par. out of one daty r may involve them in the viola tion of othen, or how too warm an embalmment of one teeth may lead to • Literati of other troth. equally impermat As I heard tt stated atroaaly, sot mai gap ego,tbeae persona are d i sposed to mount viva some duty at a war hors", and to drive IlaimogY, oo sod open, end over all other duties that may stand in the way,' There Bremen who, in time. of that sort, and disputes of that sort, are of opmion that human duties may be ass =tabled with t h e precision of mathematics.— They deal with morals as with mathematics, Ind they think what is right may be distinguished from what is wrong with the precision of ur slgebraie equation. They , have, therefore, none too much charity towards others who differ from them.— They are apt, too, to think that oothing is good but what Is perfect, sod that there are no coinpro- Millen or Medd eittiOne 10 be made in submission to difference of opinion, or in deference to other men'. incitement.

They pre , fer the chance Or Mullin; into utter darkness to living in heavenly light, if that heavenly light be not absolutely without soy imperfection. There are Impatient men--ten impatient errata to give heed to the admission of St. Paul, "that we are not to do evil that geed 'may - come "—too impa tient to wait for the slow progress of morel Maws in the improvement of mankind. They doom re member that the doctrines and the miracles otio se. Christ have, in eighteen bemired year., icon verted only a small portion f the human race ; nod among the nations that ar converted to Christ omit, they forget how man vices and crime., public and private, still pre il, and that many of them, public crimes especia y, which are offenees altsmat the Christian religio , pass without excit ing particular regret or illOhanatiOn. This wars are waged, and equal wool ; I dcioot deny that theremay be just wars. T ere ce airily are, bet it was the remark of . eminent pe on, not many p.m ago, on the other side of the Atlantic, that it was one of the greatest reproaches to human es , tore that wars were sometimes neees.sty. The defence of nations sometimes canoes a war against the injustice of other nations. -Now, sir, in thin slam of sentiment noon the general nature of slavery lies rise cnone of a greet portion of those Unhappy ffivisleno, Clln.pe.rationa, and reproaches which find vent end support in different parts of the Union. Slavery doe. rind in the United States. It did esint so the Stores before the adoption of this ennotautran, sod at that time. _ _ . And now let on consirjer, eir, fora moment, what was the state of eentiMent North nod South in regard to slavery authe time this emusitution was adopted. A rtmerkable change has taken place since, but what did the wise end great men of ell parts of the country think of alaveryt—in what estienatan did they bold a in 1751, when thin constitution was adopted! , Now, it will be found, eir, if we will carry obreelvee by hie:onesl re search back to that dey,'end ascertain men'. opin. lone by authentic records s6ll ezisting among us, Met there was no greet diversity of opinion be. ' tureen the North and the South upon the subject of elevery, and It will be found that both. parts of the country held it equally an evil—a moral and porn hut! evil. It will not be found that either at the North; or at the South there wan much, though there was some, invective against slavery. se In. human and cruel. The great ground of objection to it was political; that it weakened the social fabric; that, taking the place of free labor,-society was lees strong and labor was lees productive; and therefore we find from ell the eminent men of the time the clearest expreartior. of their opinion that slavery was an evil, And they ascribed it, not without truth, and not without some acerbity of temper and form of language, to the injurious policy of the mother country, who, to favor the navigator, had entailed these evils upon the role. ales. I need hardly refer, sir, to the pubic mass of the day. They are-matters of history tan the record. The eminent meo, the meet eminent men and nearly all the conspicuous of the South, held the same sentiments; that slavery wire an evil, a blight, a blast, a mildew, a scourge, and a curse. There are no term. of reprobation of Haven , so vehement in the North of tent day as in the South. The North was not an much ex.ted avocet it as the South, and the ceases ia, I suppose, because there was much lese at the North, and the people did not see, or think they saw, the evils so pro. misently as they were seen, or thought to be sees at the South. Ties, sir, when this constintion was framed, this was the light i• which the Convention view. ed it. The court:lotion retlected the judgment and ornaments of the great men of the South. A member el the other House, whom I have not the holler to .now, in • recent speech has collected ertracts from these document. They prove the ruth of what I am saying, and the question then was, bow to deaf with it, and beer to deal with It' as an evil? Well, they cave to this general ult. They thought that slavery could not be con• tinged in the country If the impartation of slaves were made to crass, and therelore they provided that eller • mane period the iroportution might be prevented by the act of the new Government. Twenty years was proposed by Dome gentleman, a Northern gentleman, I think, and many of the Southern gentlemen opposed It as beingitno long. Mr. Madaon especially was something warm, 'Splint it. He raid It would bring too much of this mischim - into tie not:miry to allow the Impor. mien of slaves for'such a per,ed, Because we most take along with us, in the whole of this dis cosies, when we are considering the sentiments and opinions In which this constitutional provision originatal, that the conviction of all men was that lithe Importation of naves ceased, the while race would multiply fluter than the black race, and that slavery would therefore padusily wear out and expire. It muy cot be Improper to allude to that. I bad almost said, celebrated opinion of Mr. Madison. You observe, air, that the term slave or &every is not coed in the constitution, The constitution does me require that "fuitive slaves` shall be delbrered pp. ft remorse that .persotm bound to service in one State, sod es. cuing into soother, than be delivered up.. Mr. Madison opposed the inuoductiou of the term stave or etavery into the eoutitutioo ; fer ha said he did not web to see it recognized by the constitution of the Muted States of Americo, thaLi three mold be property in men. Now, ear, alt this took place at lie Convention in 1757; hut connected with this -concurrent nod contemporamone—ie moths; important to nailer. sties not sufficiently attended to. The Otinven, tion for framing this constitution assembled In Philadelphia in May,and sat until September. 17777. During all that time, the Congreon of the United States was to Session at New York. It wan • matter of dcs4o, as we know, that the Conven. tion should not assemble in the same city where Corgrees was holding Its embus, Almost all the stabile men of the country, therefore, of diatincUon and eminence...were is one or the other of these two assemblies; and I think it happened in some in.toncee that the setae gentlemen were numb= of both. If I mietalco not, such eras the cue of Mr. Ruth. lung, then a member of Congress from Massachuseue, and at the same time a. member of the Convention to frame the sionatinillOil from that State. Now, it was in the rammer of 1757, the very time when the Convention in Philadelphia Man framing thin constitution, that the Congress in New York was framing the ordinance of 1757. They purred that ordinance on the 13th July, 1757, at New York, the very month,,mrhspe the very day, on which these questions about the importa tion of slaves and the character at slavery were debated inthe Converuiou at Philadelphia. And, ea far as we can now learn, there was • perfect Wancurrenee of opinion between thesd respective bodies; and It resulted In this ordinance of 1787, excludfog slavery as applied to all the territory over which the Congreze of the United Stem had jerisdletion, and that was all territory north. west of the Ohio. Tame years before, /Rosin a and other State. had made a cession of that great territory to the United Stales. And a most meg °lucent act it was. I never reflect upon it with. out a disposition to do honor and turtice—and jut• nee would he the highest honor—to Virginia for that act of Oeglion of her northwestern territory. I will say, air, it is sue of her faired claims to the respect and gratitude of the United Buttes, and that perhaps it is only iMond to that ether cairn which attachee to her that in her Counseli, from the intelligeum and prtriolitim other leading statesmen, proceeded the first Idea put into prac tice Fir the formation of a general constitutiou of the United States. Now, sir, the ordinance 0f17b7 applied thus to the thole territory over which the Congress of the ÜbitedHistes had thrudietion.— lt was adopted nearly three years before the Con stitution of the oiled States went into Operation ; because the ordinance took effect immediately on its passage, while the Constlintlun of the puked Stales, fuming been framed, Wev to be sent to the States to be adopted by their Conventions; and then a government had tp be organised under it.

One Is, that there was an ei• peetalion that on the ceasing orate Importation of .slaves from Africa, slavery would begin to run out. That was hoped and expected.

And here, slr, we may psn se. We may refine: foe a moment upon the entire cobsolderren zed concurrence of sentiment between the North and therSdutb upon this queotioe, at the period of the adoption ql' the c ow eintrum.

I see 141,Aethrtible member of this body paying me the handier thilonipg is my reworks; he brings to me, sir, freshly and vividly the sentiments of his great ancestor, is much die, tiogulahed its his day and generation, is worthy to be succeeded b 7 so dolt•a fraTidign, with all ilk t entiments he expressed in the Convention in Phllidelphia upon this subject. Age we may pause. There wee unanimity of sent mem, if not • general concurrence of nen& men, running through the whole community, and especially entertained by the eminent men of all porn one of the country, in regard tci.bis subject. Bat soon a change began at the Korot and the Snot 1, and • severance of opinion boon showed urteV—the North growing much more warm and note g against slavery, and the Mouth growing omen more warm and strong in it. support. then. is no generation of mankind whose opinion. are not nubjeot Co be influenced by what appears to them to be their present and emergent and exi gent interest. I impute to the South no particu larly interested view in the change which has et..e otter her. I impute to her eerteinly no diss housed view. All that has happened has been astern!. It lass followed those causes which al.' ways Influence the human mind and operate upon it. What, then, trove been the causes which have created an new a feeling in favor of slavery in the South—which have changed the whole name... elation of the South on the subject—mid from beteg thought of nod described in the terms I have mentioned and will not repeat, It has now become' ' an institution, • cherished institution there; noecil, no scourge, hot a great religious, social, and moral blessing, as I think have hernia latterly deserit, ed? I suppose this, sir, is owing to the sudden uprising and rapid grouith of the cotton plantations of the South. So far na any motive of honor. jun tier, and general judgment could net, it was the Hutton interest that gave a new desire to promote slavery, to spread it and to use its labor. I again say that this is produced by the carmen which we must always expect to produce like effects—their whole intereata became connected witnit. If we look back to the history of the commerce of this country at the early commencement of thiaGov eminent, whit were our exports? Cotton was, hardly, or, but to a. very limited extent, known. The tables will showthat the exports of cotton for the yule 1790 arid '9l were hardly more than forty or fifty thousand dollars a year. It has gone on increasing rapidly until it may now be, per hops, in a season of great product and high pricer, a hundred millioos of dollars. Then there was ' more of wax. more of indigo, more of rice more of almost every thing exported from the Sou th than of cotton. I think I heard it said, when Mr. Jeff lemon negotiated the treaty 0(1794 with England, he did not know that cotton was exported at all from the United States; and I have heard It said that, after the treaty which gave .to the United State. the right to carry their own commodines to England, in their own .hips, the custom house in London refused to admit cotton, upon an allege. lino that it could not be an American productioa, there bents, as they noppceed, no cotton raised in America. They would hardly think so now! Well, sir, we know what follows: The age of cotton became. a golden age ire our Southern brethren, it gratified their desire for improve• meet and •ccumulation at the gnu time that it excited is The desire grew by what It led upon, and there soon came to be an eagerness for other trrilory, a new area or sew areas for the culti- Ilien of the cotton crop, and measures were ought about, somewhat rapidly, one eater anoth• under the lead ofSouthere men at the head Of Government, they having a majority in both branches of the Government, to accomplish 'their ends. The honorable member from Carolina ob.i served that there has been a majority ell along in favor of the North. If that be true, sir, the North acted either very libetary and kindly, or very weakly ; for they never exercised that majority nye time. in ibe history of the Government. ,NeVer. Whether they were out generalled, or whether it wan owing to other causes, I shall not stop to consider, but no man acquainted With the history of the country can deny that the general lead in the polities of the country for three loughs of the portal that has elapsed since the adoption of the constitution has been a Southern lead. to 1502, In pooled of the idea of opening a new oats ton remon, the United States obtained a cession from °tetra or' the whole of her western tern. Wry, now embracing the rich and growing State of Alabama. In ISCO, Lcuitiana was purchased from France, out cf which the States of Louisi ana, A themes, and Blistoari, have been framed a. alaveholding States. to IBIS the cession of Florida was made, bringing another cession of alavekohillog property and territory. Sir, the hon orable member from South Carolina thought he saw in certain operations of the Goventment,auch as the manner of collecting the revenue and the tendency of thou measures to promote: emigre. non into the country, what accounts for the more rapid growth of the North than the South. He thinks they were not the operation of time, but of the system of government estabilabed under this constitution. That is • matter of opinion. To a certain extent it may be so; but hide*. seem to me that if any operation of the goveeomeat could be shows' in any degree to hsve promoted the pope- Johan, and growth, and wealth of the Norm, it is much more sire that there are sundry Important and distinct operations of the government, about which no man can doubt, tending to promote, and which absolutely have promoted the increase of lie slave interest, and the slams territory of the South. Allow me to say that it wan n‘t time that brought in Louisiana; it Was the act of men. It was not time that brought in Florida; a wan the act of tun. And lastly, air, to compete those acts of men who have contrautted so moth to enlarge the area nod the sphere of the; inatitution of ohm.y, Trner, great sod vast and initmsable Texas, was added to the Union Its a slave State in INS; and that, sir, pretty much closed the whole chap. lee nod settled the:whole eecount. That closed the whole chapter—that settled tt• whole ad. count, became the annexation of Texas upon the conditions:and ander the guarranties upon which she we* admitted, did not leave so acre of land mpahle of being cultivated by slave labor between this Capital and the Aix amide or the Nnecos, or whatever is the proper boundary of Texat—not an acre, not one. From that moment the whole country fom here to the western boundary of Tex • ea, was fixed, pledged; fastened, decided to be slave territory forever, by the solemn gnannties of law. Allow me to read the resolailim. It is the third clause of the second section or the resolution of the let Hatch, 1815; foe the adminion of Texas That clause =kin these worth: °New Sumo, of convenient six, not exceeding fear in number de addinn to awd SUN of Texas,and having safficient peralabon, may hereafter, by the calumet of id State, he form:dein of theTerritary thereof which than be entitled to admission ander the pro•thions of the Federal Corottuoloa.

They did Wonder pledges — absolut e es to the slave interest in the case of Tate, and afterwards it the case of Mime new conquests.— My honorable Mend from Georgia, in Mitreb,lB47, moved the Senate to declare that the oar ought not to be prosecuted for acquisition, for conquest, for the dismemberment of Mexico. The tome Northern Democracy entirely voted keening P. He did not get a vote from them. It suited the views, the patriotism, the elevated sentiments of the Northern Democracy to bring In a world hem, among the mountains and valley. of Califon:lamed New Mexico, or any other part of Mexico, and then quarrel about it—to briny It in and then to put upon it the seeing grace of the Wilmot movie so. There were two eminent and highly respect able gentlemen from the North end East, t ben lead. tog gentlemen in this Senate-I refer, and Ido ao with entire respect, fin I entertain for both of those gentlemen in general high regard, to Mr. Dix. of New York, and Mr. Niles, of Connecticut—arbo voted for the admieslon of Texas. They would not have that vote any other way than ea It snood; and they woaid knee rtes it did steed. 1 speak of the vote upon the annexation of Texas. Those two gentlemen would have the resolution of an. Devotion just as it is, and they voted for it mutt no it is, and their eyes were all open to it. My hon. orah.e friend, the mew bee who addressed us toe other day from South Caroline, was then Secreta ry of State. Ills correspondence with Mr. Mur phy, the charge ilhiffalree of the United States in Texas, had been published. That correspondence was all before those gentlemen, end the Secretary had the boldness and candor to avow in that cos. reepondence that the great object sought by the enervation of Texts sues to strengthen the slave Interest edible country. Why, sir, he said, in so many word.— Mr. Calhoun. Will the honorable Senator per mit me to interrupt him for et moment/ Mr. Webster. Certainly. Mr. Calhoun. I sot Very reluotatt to interrupt the honorable gentleman; but, upon a point of eo much importance. I deem it right to put cn) *eh Irma 02 curia. I did not out it upon the ground assumed by the Senator. I pot it upon this ground: that Great Britain had announced to this country, in en many words, that her object wen to abolish slavery in Texas, and through Texas to neconi plieh theabolialunent of slavery in the Untied States and the world. The ground I put it on was, that it • ould make an exported frontier, and, ifOveat Britain succeeded in ber object, It would be ices possible that that frontier could he secured against the aggression of the abolitiouists; and that this Government was bound, under the guaranties of the constitution, to protectiss agalsat such a state of things. Mr. Webster. That comes, I suppose, sir, to exactly the same alum II was, that Texas mos be °hulloed for the eeetrity of the slave interim of the South. ENIEM=EII Mr. Webster. That was the object set forth In the correspondence of a worthy gentleman not now living, who preceded the honorable member root South Carolina in that office. There rrinsse on the files of the Department of State, as I have occasion to know, wrong letters front Mr. Upshor to the United Suns minister in England, and I believe there are some to the same minister from the honorable Senator himself, asserting to this client the sentiments of this Government that Geell Bruain was expected not to interfere to take Texan ant of the hoods of its then existing Gov ernment, and make it a free country. But my argument, my euggestion is this: that thaw gentle men who composed the Northern Democracy when Texas was brought Into the U pion, saw with all their eye* that it woe brought in no a slave country, and brought in for the purpose of being maintained as Wave territory to the Greek Kaleadr. I tattier think the honorable gentleman who was then Secretary at Sloe might. in some of his tor. respondence with Mr. Murphy, have auagested that it was ant expedient to any too much about thus object, that It might create some alarm: but, sir, he did avow It boldly and manfully; be did not dimmer his conduct. Mr. Calhoun. Never, never. Mr. Webster. What he means he is very apt to say. Mr. Call:mar, Always, always. • Mr. Webster.. And I honor him far it. This was in IR& Then, in lan, flagmen, Ulla be. tureen the United States end Mexico, the propoei lion I have mentioned was brought forward by my friend from Georgia—the Nonuern democra cy voting Weight ahead against it. Their reme• dy we to apply to the acquisitions, altar they should come in, the Wilmot proviso. What for. Iowa! These two gentlemen, worthy and honor- Ode and iodnential men—and if they had not been they 'could not have carried the mearore—these two gentlemen, members of thin body, brought in Texas, and by their voted they prevented the pas uge of the resolution of the honorable member from Georgia, and then they went home and took the lead in the Free Soil party. And there they standosh! They leave us here, bound in honor and isonacience by thesesolutions of annexation— they leave us bete to take the odium of fulfilliag the obligations Is favor-of slavery which they voted as into, or else the greater odium of violate tag those obhgations while they are at home mak ing rousleg sod capital speeches, for free soil and no slavery. (Laughter.) And, therefore, I say. air, that there to not a chapter In our historyame peeling public measures and public men, More full of what should creole surprise; more lull of dual does create, in my mind, extreme morttfica lion, than that of the conduct .or ibis Northern dr moeraey. Mr. President, sometimes, whei • matt is found in a new relation to thing* around hint and to orb. er men, he says the world has changed, and that be has out changed. 1 believe, air, that our self respect leads us Caen to make this declaration in regard to ourselves when It Is not exactly Inns. An individual In more apt to change, perhaps, than all the world around him in to change. But, under the present eireumatabeen, and under the macro. s.bilities which I know I incur by what I nut now stating here, I feel at liberty to recur to the various expressioae and statements, made at various times, of my own opinions and resolutinus respection the admiration of Teter, and all that has followed. Sir, an early as 11138, or In the earlier part of 1037, • matter of eorrenpondeece between myself raid some private friends was thisprojeet of annexing Texas to the linked &Weal-and an honorable geotleman with whom 1 boric- had a long aconsin .
