BUFFALO, July l7th, 1887.

BUFFALO, July 17th, 1887. ] The Hon. Daniel Webster, arrived in town | yesterday morning. To-day, the citizens l gave him a ride upon the Lake, all the steam- boats in port, in sailing order, turning out, and making very fine display. About half-past II o'clock, A. M., and on his landing from the boat, he was escorted by large number of 1 citizens to the Park, in front of the Court House. Gen. P. B. Porter, as Chairman of the Committee, and in behalf of the citizens, made short address to Mr. Webster, in his usual happy manner.
 MT: Webster's reply was listened to with great interest by thousands. It was an excel lent and well-timed speech, which does hon. or to the man, and should be the text of every American citizen. He was frequently inter- rupted by the applause of the assembled mul- titude; and when he finished, they gave him three hearty cheers. His speech will be long remembered, and Heaven grant that he may long live to inculcate the lesson which he gave us today. He leaves tomorrow.
 The weather continues fine, and every thlng in the grain way looks we'll. If we can nave some three or four weeks5f good dry warm weather, it will settle the question with the wheat monopolists-I hope to their total and lrretrieyable ruin, and the breaking of all banks which sustain them.
 Rathbun's trial as surmised, did not come on at the last Circuit. Three new indict- ments were found against him, which it is supposed his Counsel will be in no great hur- ry to traverse.
 Business continues dull, and no remedy seems to present itself yet. Nothing but a general bankrupt law will give us any great relief in this state. It may be hard remedy, but have no doubt it will be a saIutary one. Thousands of young and enterprising men have embarked in land speculations, and find themselves now loaded with debts which they can never pay, and of which the land will not pay one quarter. What is the conse- quence! These young men are precluded from accomplishing property-and they just live from day to day, without adding any thing to the general good. Such should not be the case. Make law, that when a man comes forward and surrenders up to his cred itors all his property, he shall go clear, and may begin anew in the world, and you con,- pei many miserly and hard listed old fel- low to give up his victim, and make a conl- promise. The vast debt which has been cre- ated by land operations, and which is now so much beyond the ability ofthc land or the owners to meet, can only be cleared off in that way. Clear away the land debt, and all our other debts will soon be paid.
 We are to have two new steamboats launched this week, both fthe first class.

Mr. Webster in DetrOa.-Mr. Webster was in Detroit, July 12th. A collation. was served up in honor of his arrival. Large crowds gathered in the grove at an early hour. Up- wards of three hundred sat down to the colla- tion, and between fifteen hundred and two thousand, including ladies and gentlemen, it is said were present to listen to MT. Webster's address. MT. Webster spoke upwards of an hour. Although numbers found it impossible to get a seat at the table, all, says the Detroit Advertiser, had ample opportunity to enjoy the truly intellectual banquet. MT.

PIRAcY-SALE OF OYsTEss--Loss OF

most bold, fearful and unprecedented

GEN. JACKSON BEHIND THE SCENES. -

candor and truth, of the following ex-
presslons ofppinion, by Gen. Jackson,
in reference 10 three Of our greatest
public men--Ourinformant states, that
he has the story from high authority in
Tennessee.
A very intimate friend of Gen. Jack
son was conversing withhim one even
ing, very freely and confdentially, up
on political subjects, and at last he as
ked him his opinion Of Calhoun. Web
ster and Clay. The very words ofthe
eral'sreply cannot Of course be Civ
en-, but the substance was to the follow
ing effect. lie said, Calhoun was
man Of great talents, buttooambitious,
che is very ambitious, he is the most
man ever saw said he,
andintimated that he thought Calhoun's
object was more to promote his own
honor and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, than the
good of the country.
As to Webster, he spoke in the high
est terms Of his gigantic talents, his
honesty and straightforwardness ofpur-
pose, and the excellence Of his moral
character.
Well, said his friend, what is your
real opinion of Claya "As 10 Henry

his hand with great.violence, "bet,eeen

also $4,000 in notes belonging 10 the
Bank Of Virginia, -l2O,0 600. All the
trunks have been recovered unopened, ex-
