MT Webster's Arrival-Texas Question.
Mr.. Webster is now in this city. He arrives
here two days ago, and will probably remain TO
several days. We understand he lis full of thu
Texas question, and talks very openly and srongl,
against that measure, in pretty much the same
strain with the letter from his pen recently pub
lished in New England number of his friend:
have been about him ever since his arrival, and tc
all of them he gives positive assurances, that the
Texas treaty. has no chance of receiving the con
stitutiona vote of the Senate, or OF involving the
foreign relations of the country. He doesno deny
however, that this will be the principal question o
the day, in Congress and out of it, for discussion
and that the fate of the two parties IN the mex
Presidential election may hang upon the course
they pursue in relation TO it.
II is very evident, from all experimentation al
the developments in the journals here and else
where-from the givings out of the friends of Mr.
Webster-that this movement in opposition to the
annexation OF Texas now made by him, is intended
to be great card not only in the next election, Blu
for the succession to the Presidency. According
to all appearances, Mr.. Webster was apprised from
the commencement of the negotiat ons Of wha
was going on; but it seems that he did not precipi
the death of Mr. Upshur-untl after there was nc
chance lett of his getting back into the State De-
partment to WELD the questions of the day in sub
serviency to his own popularity-until Mr.. Calhoun
was nominated and approved of by the Senate.
Then Mr.. Webster took up his position openly and
publicly at once.
On the first bursting of this great gun last week,
it is we'll known that tremendous panic took
A. II .rlra thar ak,,
knocking down like nine pins many OF the parti-
cular friends of Mr.. Webster, who are spectators
on the Buurse of New York and other great cities.
This 1amentable result was not anticipated, but
when manv of the poor brokers were knocked
down, they began to consider that they had been
little too hasty in the explosion, and that it was
necessary to make the Texas question one merely
of domestic policy, affecting, not our foreign re-
latons, but merely the political parties throughout
the country.
With this view, we believe, Mr. Webster and his
friends have succeeded in quoting the fears of the
monied classes with the amplest assurances that in
no contingency is there chance for the Texas
treaty passing the Senate, and thereby involving
the foreign relations of the country, but that the
whole controversy will be confined to the TWO par
ties in the Senate and the House, and be an internal
question: merely affecting the rise and fall ofpares
or of stocks. Now, in this point of vew-a narrow
vlewlindeed- seems very reasonable to expect that
there will be great deal of bitterness of feeling,
and'that both pares whiss and locofocos, at Wash
ington, must show their hands on this question,
which has been sprung upon them by Mr.. Tyler;
and that we may also expect to see during the re-
mainder of the session, great deal of effort, to
make the most of it, on all sides.
In the meantime, it appears that the opposition to
the Texas question is not to be confined to the
stump orators and hack politicians. The poets of
New England are going dead against it, and the
first blast appears in the Boston Cowier-the organ
of Mr.. Webster's party. Here it Isl
A Rallylng Cry for New England, against
the Annexation Of Texas.
