Mr.. WEBsrER.-A public meeting of the
roltical friends of Mr.! Webster was held in
New York on the 18th Feb, at which Chan
cellor Kent presided, which after some highly
complnentarv resolutions, invited him to meet
his friends in that city on his way home from
Washington He accepted the invitation, and
on the 18th Of March, was received with much
enthusiasm. lie was met by dense masses
of the population atthe Steamboat Wharf, amp
escorted in triumphal procession, the Amer
lean Hotel. Every door, window, and pile Of
building materials was alive with human be-
incs "checring the Senator, the orator, the pa
,riot," as the carriage passed along.
In the evening, at halfpast six o'clock he
was conducted to Nblos Saloon, where he
was again greeted By thousands upon thou
sands, the place being crowded to overtsowlng'
and very many excluded for want of room.
As soon as the cheering subsidized, he addressed
the assembled multitude in speech OF two
hours length, which willno doubt,be published.
From very brief sketch OF it we extract the
following.
"Mr. Wets.Cr entered upon full eXp!a-
nation Of his course in relation 10 the Inde.
pcndence of Texas, in the course of which
lie gave brief bu' glowing history OF the
Struggle, out of which that independence
has arisen. He thought it well, perhaps,
that Texas should be independent OF Mex
leo. but not that she should be annexed 10
the Union. He thought it time that there
should be limits set to the enlargement OF
the United States by the addition OF terrific.
rr,and that it bchoovcs us especially 20 pause
and reflect before adopting measure that
could possibly be the means Of increasing
slavery"
"Thcre is a deep and powerful feeling
against the existence Of this institutional
feeling strong enough to shake the union to
its very centre. and one which every effort
should be made to allay. rather than 10 cX-
cite and agitate.'
Among the resolutions adopted blythe meet
inr which offered these marks OF attention to
Mr.. Webster was the following:
Rcsolrea, That there is no part OF our
widely extended country more deeply IN
,ercs.cd in the preservation of the Union
than the CITY of New York her motto
should be "Union and Liberty, now ard for
ever, one and inscparabe," and her grail
.uhc should be shown 20 the statesman who
frs gave uttcrancc 10 the sentiment.
Tit Slavery question may come before Cen
gress, and very soon too, on the question ofte
admission of Texas in the Confederacy in
form that shall shake the union to its centre.
Whether or not the union is to be preserved
depends altogether upon our northern fellow
citizens. We, Of the South, have no dIsposl-
ton to intermeddle, in any way with any thing
which concerns them exclusively, nor with any
rights secured 10 them bp the Constitution; and
ice riA not suffer them to intermeddle with
our domestic relations. The less they say
about these relations too the better, partlcu- !
larly ifhey uscthc language ofenemes rather
than that of friends.

Dear Sir -
Notwithstanding the nonsensical rant in the

the expeditions destined to operate against the
Texans, YOU should know that the MeXlcans

Texas enter into its duty, and they will do SO.
Every thing is now ready for the march OF the
troops, which are composed of 600 infantry,
ane 1900 cavalry, with hthe,corresdlug artillery;
and the command S confted to Gen. Bus
tamente, well known for his valor and patrio-
tisE.
Although with great trouble, there have
been equipped three brigs, SIX schoonerS, and
twelve gun boats; and three are expectedtrom
Jamaica two good steam boats, and brig, un-
der the command of VIM. Mckenzie, who
serves with Commodore Porter, in the War of
Independence. ,oo
As soon as these vessels arrive, about 1000

African Discorer4s.-The Asiatic Journal
for January contains some account of the ex-
poring expedition recently undertaken by DR..
Smith and others, from Cape Town, South
Africa, into the interior of the continent. 1t
appears that the expedition penetrated al
most as far as the tropic, found very healthy
climate, and returned in excellent condition,
with an immense variety of drawings, and
specimens of natural history. The artist who
furnishes the geological part Of the collection
is SAID to have set out on this hazardous ad-
venture in state of health which hardly al
lowed hope of his being able to reach the
frontier of the colony, and to have returned
strong, robust. and healthy man. In the
words of Sir John Herschell, he was "a living
and thriving proof of the salubrity OF the
country trayersed."
This is an important fact in reference to
African Colonization. And yet Colonization
lists are charged with inhumanity in wishing
to remove so many of our free colored people
as are disposed to emigrate from country
where they scarcely increase at all, and from
cities where one in every twenty-seVen OF
them dies annually, to the fine healthy coun-
tries in the land of their fathers.

day Mr. Harris left Gen. Jesup's head quar-

Little Cloud commanded at the battle Of the

bring him in. Gen. Jesup sent the horse re-
quested. The horse fell down with Micanopy
on him, and hurt the chief so much that he
could not come in. Micanopy has since asked
ofGen. Jesup to forward to him pack horses
to bring in his women, children, &c. The

HENRY REED, JR., EDITOR. /

The commissioners, chosen to fix the loca-
ton of the county seat of Lucas county, have
made choice of tract ofland, owned by Maj
| William Oliver short distance above Toledo.
The reason for the choice of this point, we
cannot easily divine. There are several
fourshng towns already more than stayted,
far nearerthe centerof the county. There is
no town laid out at the place designated by
the commissioners, neither are there either in
habitants or houses, and of course, there are
mo conveniences for transacting the county
business. There are no roads leading to and
| from the place, excepting the road running
| up and down the river There are no wharves
nor conveniences Of any kind, for the accom-
mediation ofthose visiting the county seat by
water. F.T.
Whatever may be the data upon which the
decision of the commissioners was based, one
thing is certain that, the rules pointed out
by thelaws of the state, to govern a choice,
in sucl lmatters, have been strangely overlook
ed, and Get aside. They have not located the
seat of Justice, Gas near the center of the
county asspossible." They, have paid no " re-
gard to theSsituation, extent and population,
nor convenience and interest of the inhabi-
tants." The commissioners evidently disa-
greed upon dle matter. and the decision,
was the result of "a compromise But such a
compromise Itlcould only have arisen from
headstrong dishonesty, or at least prejudice,
ofa part, and, we are sorry to say the weak
and yielding policy Of the rest Of the commits
sioners. 1t seems, however. to have been the
belief Of the board, that; the subject would
again come before the Legislature, on account
Of the informality ofthe proceedings, and, that
that belief was a strong indueement to them
to agree. This however does not entirely
shield them from censure, for their strange
and unaccountable choice. We have no de-
sire to call names, or say hard things in this
matter. This is not the proper course. Ac-
tion will undoubtedly be had upon the subject,
and it is to that action that we are to look for
redress. The people of the county are ag-
grieved, not the citizens Of any particular
town. and it issthe people of the county, who
should arise, and see that their rights are: re-

tTIt is stated, in the New York papers,
that Capt. Marryatt, the author of Peter Sim
pie, lately arrived in that city, in one of the
English packets, and that he intends to make
a tour through the United States. We can
not recolect, as Capt. Marryatt has, in any
of his numerous works. made an expression
or advanced an idea, which can be construed
as insulting to our national character, or, to
our domestic feelings, and we have no doubt,
but he will meet with warm reception. By
ron counted it fame to have his works read by
the .dwellers upon the banks of Hudson river,
and Scott and Bulwer have prided themselves
muchupon their American readers and adj
mrers but to Marryatt, has the tribute o
admiration been far more general, than to Ell
ther. Let him follow to its source the majes-
tic Hudson, or linger on the banks of the smi-
ling Connecticut, let him trace the mighty
western lakest to their source, or wander in
the sunny bowers of the warmer cmes of the
south, let him visit the far distant military
posts of the frontier, or the crowded halls Of
the most populous city, and he will find every
where his works which have gone before him,
read and admired by all.
