MIR. WEBSTER'S NEW YORK SPEECH
Some of The View York papers contain bnei and
evidently very detective sketches OF the Speech de-
lyerad by Mr. Webster al meeting Of his political
friends in New ork "A few days ago. We should
have published of them, however, but for IN
tima,ion that Mr.. W. intends himself to furnish CO.
py of for publications is due not less to the high
Importance of the themes discussed, than TO Mr..
Webster himself, that his remarks should be cor
rectiy given TO the word.-Wc are told that " he
discussed the present system of selling public lands.
the tariff, the revenue, the currency slavery banks,
the Independence Of Texas and, in short all the
leading questions which at present agatc and dis
tract the Union In relation to Texas, al the re-
ports OF his speech concur in saying, that while he
expressed desire for the establishment of its Rde-
pcadcnee, he decidedly opposed its annexation to the
American Untn-one of his main objections to
which Is, that it would be .Slareholdae State and
that h. can do nothing TO extend the Slavery of the
African race upon this Continent. Many persons,
even in the South, may object to the annexation OF
Texas to our Con.edercy; but they will rot be III
iuenced, in that opposition, by the foregoing reason.
The fact that Texas ciH be slayehuldng country,
under any probable political organization that may
exist Is a sufficient answer to Mr.. Webs'els obec-
ton to the extension OF African Slavery this Con
tinent. lis annexation the Union will produce,
its independent organization vii not prevent that
erteaSion The former will not add to the num-
Der Of slaves, the latter cannot diminish H. Tex
as, asa slaN eholding country will on serve drain
to the slave population OF the United States, who, as
they increase by emigration in one State diminish
to the same extent in those from Which they are
! drawn; Whereas il, by any not very probable con
tngency, slavery should be prohibited in Texas, tho
effect would be only to confne the number 0
slaves within a more limited circle. The truth is
this is not question Of Slavery Slavery, but or,
the slaseholdng States 1t is not Wheeler Their,
shall he an extension Of .Stfery for thai, as hav,
seen, is not SYNONYMOUS with an extension OF terrific

States shall be strengthened i'll Congress and the +
lectoral College, by the nneNaton to the Union o
a large section OF country, which, from the luxuri
OF lis soil, the sllublity of It's climate and it

lated, aud which when thus populated woul

MONEY MATTERS.

1t is stated that Lee, Maddux & CO.. of New Or
leans have resumed payments.
In relation to Herman, Briggs X Co., accounts
differ; some saying that they have effected an ar
rangcment with the New Orleans banks, by which
they will be enable to resume business. while others
assert that they have taed make such an arrange
meut and that Their stoppage i, inevitable. We in
cline credit the latter statement from the fact,
that the Messrs. Josephs, OF New York, whose re-
sumption OF business was dependent upon the con
summation oil this arrangement, and who, on the
morning oil the 20 INST announced then intention to

the question whether their house shall 90 on was not
determined, :" the negotiations having this object in
view 10, benz concluded. They are waiting Tor fur

correspondent of the National Inelligencer, under
date OF the 2Jth inst. says Money matters look no
better than upon Saturday. The Messrs Joseph
contrary to the announcement made SATURDAY. have

THE TREASURY CIRCULAR.

Rumors are rife, though somewhat contradictory,
in relation to the OF Mr.. Van Buren, touching
tins Illegal and mschIeyous act of his = illusrious
predecessors. The National Intellisenger says
" Reasoning from premises which arc as open to the
public as to ourselves we have formed the opinion
mat nothing has prevented the prompt compliance by
the Executive, with the public will, expressed by
very heavy impurities in both Houses of Congress- in
