Mr.. WEBSTER responded, but we find our space
unequal to sketch of his Speech. He spoke OF
Commerce, of the prominence Of Merchants III the
contest which secured our Independence, of the
public spirit and patriotism Of Merchants in all times,
and Of the tendency of Commerce to srengt then the
spirit of Union among US, and TO enlarge and liberal
ize the mind He could not accept the erviti com
piment of his friend save tribute 10 New-Ens-
land of whose children he the most inconsidcr-
able and as affirming hat his purpose had been to
regard National rather than Sectional interests. II
had been his fortune through all his Political lie TO
be connected altogether with that Government which
had for its object the welfare of the whole coun-
try The emergencc Of this country from British
dominion and its growth into an independent Ma
ton, with local institutions for local purposes and
National institutions for general purposes, regard
cd as one of the most wonderfully fortunate events
in the history of Man. History had not its parallel
The struggle in a portion Of the British Empire or
Repeal, and again for Fcderativc systenl-,-wlat
were these but struggles for an approximation to
our own admirable system! He regarded this hap
py distribution of Power in our system as an occur
renee so Providental and so happy that he must be
mailman who would wish to try the experiment Of
commencing again. He proceeded to speak eo-
quently of the Settlement Of New-England and Of
the Discovery of America by Columbus, who gave
not a New World merely, as his cpitaph affirmed
'to the Kingdoms of CASTLE and Arragon,' but 10 the
Old World, and to Universal Man.
MIR. WEBSTER concluded by offering the follow

returned suitable acknowledgements.

o. The Wing Standard at Washington say.
that the Logical Abstraction Society are discuss
ing the question whether IN case Of the Annexa
ton of Texas, Sam Houston or John Tyler would
be President of the new Consolidated Republic
Sure enough. If the Annexation would dispoSy
Of the Deplorable Accident we fear it would
prevail over all opposition.
The next question to conc before the Society
is-In case John and the President of the Senate
should both decease and Speaker Jones should
be admitted by Congress to be unduly returned
to the House, who would then be President, Mr..
Wise or Robert Tyler The Rules and Or
ders do not solve the difficulty.
