The meeting then adjourned, sine die.
The following statement of the facts re-
specting james Watson Webb's arrest in
England and Mr.. John Van Durens' agen-
cy n the affair, will enable those who will
read it TO get at the truth of the matter.
Webb is making great noise about the ST.
fur for the sake of notorie,y-but we should
think that he was so notorious liar that
few men If sense could be taken in by him.
Being great whig, however, his edIto-
rial brethren msst affect to believe him tor
the sake of effect, and therefore they back
up his statement and try to .discredt the
refutaiion of it. Those who wish to know
the truth must examine for themselves.
From the Albany Argus.
! We have by the Great Western, and
through other channels, the facts in relation
to the arrest of Webb, at Bristol.
The note was for S2,760. 1t was mntur-
Ell on the 7th of June, two weeks after Mr..
Van Buren's departure from the country.
OF the existence of the note, Mr.. Van Buren,
was altogether ignorant. Il was sent out
10y the first packet after maturity, by mer-
chant of.ihe city Of New York, an active
political friend of Webb, and addressed 10
his agent in London, with instructions to
proceed to its collection, but to do so with
all delicacy aud to treat Webb as gentle
man of honor So regarding that ind-
viduai, the London agent addressed him a
private note, advising him of the demand
sent to bis hands, aud expressing his readi-
ness to place the matter upon the most
favorable footing. For the rest, the Lon
don agent will speak for himself:
"6l CHEAPsIDE, LONDON, 10Th July, 1888.
Sir--I received yours Of the 9th ullimo,
but have received no further, instructions
than those contained in your letter.
"Upon its receipt, | immediately pro-
ceeded to find out Mr.. Webb, and was iu-
formed by Mr.. Jaudon that he was resident
at Fenton's Hotel in ST. James street. On
inquiry there learned that he had left there
some days previously, and had gone to Liv-
erpool, but that he intended beng in Lon
don and remaining there for about fort
night previous to lis leaving the country. !
called on Monday last at his hotel, and
learned there that they did no, know where
to forward letters to him, and have but
just learned that he intended leaving this
per the Great Western steam ship, which
sails on Saturday next, and therefore con-
clude that he has some reason for misledd-
ing the hotel keeper. shall by to-night's
mail send flown confidential clerk to ap-
ply TO him for payment, and in the even, of
his not getting cash or security, to hold him
to bail, as his conduct and silence in regard
to my letter, induce me to beiieue that he is
ia difficulties or opprehensive of arrest.
{" remain yours, truly,

! GUSTOM, themost potent of all Iaw-ciiv-

In compliance with this well established

as possible what is intended to be the charter of
the paper the publication of which we are about
to commence.
Ire SOUTHERN MECHANIC viii, as its name
denotes, be devoted to the support of the inter-

the pursuit Of the mechanic arts, as well as of
all others who obey the sCriptual injunction that

SHALL however, studiously avoid every thing
IKE attempting to infringe upon the rights or
oppose the success of such as are engaged. In
pursuits different from those which occupy
the attention of that class of the community
Tor whose special benefit our enterprise is un-
dertaEen. The time has gone by when intel
igent men could be induced to believe that
the interests Ofthe laboring classes of society
were opposed to those of the rest of their fpfi.
low citizens. Or, if such an opinion is stiIl en-
tertained at this enlightened day, we are
proud to say that ours are among the number
OF those minds which feel and acknowledoe
its influence. We are firmly convinced That
the interests Of the great mass of mechanics
are perfectly compatible and intimately identi-
fed with ''the greatest GOOD Of the ureatae+

honesty and intelligence of those who would
endeaVor to propagate an opposite opinion.
