c current which had 80 auspiciously set p will be
arrested at tho bidding Of Mr.. Daniel Webster, time
will Disclose. As for himself his determination is
made known with almost malignant emphasis.
Hear him, every friend Of Texasi Hear him, every
wing who has had the generous courage TO submit
to the populat will. Let all who dspiore useless
dsitadon--let all who deprecste discussion upon
the delicate and dangerous topic Of slavcry-hear

"i,is thought" said Mr.. Webster, ai Is an idss--
donot say how well founded- there may be yet
hope for resistance TO the contamination Of the an
nexaton Of Texas. Enthusiastic applause.) Team

And we think that it would no. be the greatest Of
national calamitics, had the gentleman felt himself
prepared to proclaim that he would no more enter
the Senate hall.

lniimaed to be-that the constitution Of Texas "pro-
hibits even the legislature from setting the bond
man Free" IL was but the other day that we quoted
the provisions Of the Texas constitution upon this
point. Here II is again " The lLgisatufe shall
have no power TO pass laws for the emancipation
Of slaves, without the consent IF their oVners, nor
without paying their owners, previous to such
g. c,r he
slaves so emancipated." The Florida provision, as
We have already stated has lie prohibition without
the qualification.
But we must forbear all further commentary upon
this most factious, ill-tempercd, and lmed speech
We have given above large extract; and now
let the liberal throughout the country judge of the
wisdom and discretion Of the great Northern patriot
IMPORTANT MAIL ARRANGEMENT.
It affords us much qualification TO announce that
the Postmaster General has succeeded in making a
contract with the Philadelphia and Baltimore Rail-
road Company, by which the long-desired change
has been effected, so to expedite the mail between
New York and New Orleans some twenty-five
hours The cost Of transportation ID not thus in
creased. On the contrary, the Railroad Company,
az the public will perceive, bind themselves to per-
form the additional service at the price now paid
the maximum allowed under the present law We
need scarcely add, that Mr. Cave johnson has had
difficult task to accompsh--a task requiring the
exercise Of all the patience, Judgment and business
energy for which he is proverbia, and which, in
this instance, have given earnest that he is to be
servcsable to the country in his presen, position
as when Familiarity known as the guardian Of the
public treasury in the House Of Representatives.
Under the old arrangement, the great southern mail
rested at Philadelphia from 10 o'clock, p. M, (the
hour of its arrival from New York; until o'clock
extmorning. We may here state, that il the change
went into effect during the winter, it could not be
made available south Of Washington. The follow
ing is copy Of the contract:
CONTRACT
Il is mutually agreed by and between the Post
master General and the Philadelphia, Wilmington,
and Baltimore Railroad Company, that the said COM
puny shall carry a daily mail from Philadelphia to
Baltimore between the hours Of 10 p. and a. m.
the next morning, from the 18th day Of March to
the 10th day of December of each year-said SER
vice is to be commenced before the 10Th day of
addition to the double daily service performed
unless the company shall entirely cease TO any
train of cars or line of steamboats, leaving Philade-
pha at or about 4 o'clock, p. m.
As the Postmaster General wholly declines to
give any compensation beyond the maximum rate
now paid, Of $500 per mile per annum, the company
will perform the sbove-recited service in considera-
ton that the Postmaster General will continue the
mail service upon their road and line between tho
cities Of Philadelphia and Baltimore (the Postmaster
General hereby giving stipulation to that effect
until the end Of tho present contract term.
IL
favorable during the month of December, the fore
going night-servce will be continued by the compa.
ny during said month; and that, in the season
opens early in the spring, il will be resumed earlier
than the 18th Of March.
Dated and signed on behalf Of The railroad com.
pany, this fifth day Of November c ls45;
Vice President p, W., q B. R. r. Co.
| The foregoing agreement is executed subject Ia
this modification, 10 wit: That, in consequence Of
the road not being prepared to commence the night
service the present season, owing 10 relay of por-
tons Of the track between Wilmington and Phile.
dcpha, the service under the above arrangement ID
not 10 be commenced dill the 18th Of March next.

Vice President, &c.
A counterpart Of the foregoing was executed by
the Postmaster General.
A correspondent in Philadelphia informs us that
Mr.. w. H. Crump assisted in writing tho political
editorials Of the philadelphia Inquirer" We
hasten to make the aneds honorabs, by stating, on
the best authority, that Mr.. Crump, who has been
connected with that establishment for near years
as its reporter, &C., has never written single pot
ical paragraph for its columns. Our correspondent
has no doubt attributed TO his pen the productions o.
its active editor, Mr.. Morris, whose editorial de-
