TIE GREAT SPEECH
HON. DANIEL WEBSTER,
PHIL


The Hon Daniel Webster delivered his great
speech, defining his position. and that Of the great
wing party, on Wednesday evening, in Philadel-
phia.
II was a stupendous effort, equal to ten columns
Of the Ne,o York Herald, in eloquence and facts,
figures and elegance, arranged like magnificent
park Of Paixhan guns, to demolish the great de-
mocratio party. It may be considered as a
message from the President of tho wing party
for the people to read and reflect upon previ.
Gus to receiving the Message of James K.
Polk, the President Of tho democratic party and
the United States, which now includes half of
Mexico. The two documents will be read with
the greatest interest by all classes in this great
country. One will define the position Of the
wings, and the other that Of the democrats, pre-
paratory to the presidential contest Of lS4S
In view of all this, we despatched a special re-
porter to Philadelphia, and we give the speech at
length in the Ntw York Herald of this morning.
Those DESTROYS of spreading this document be-
fore the people, can do 90 by purchasing the
Herald We advise them to circulate it all over
the Union till Tuesday--then drop it, and take
up President Folks great speech to Congress, and
circulate that a-os. bss
We shall print both speeches at two cents per
copy each.

The BosToN Day LlNE.-The Sound steamer
Michigan has been placed on the Long Island
rou,e between Greenport and Aliens Point. She
takes the place, for few days, of the New Ha-
ven steamer, which, we hear, is hauled off with
Wow ofputting masts in her, as an additional BE-
curity in severe weather.
This Is a most judcious move, and will give
much confidence to travellers.
The officers of the boats on this route have the
most positive orders, we learn, not to attempt a
passage in the severity of storm or blow, or at
any time unless there is the most perfect safety
and comfort to the passengers in 30 doing. The
open part of the Sound is but about nine or ten
miles, and is performed in about 45 minutes.
The report current yesterday, both here and in
Boston, that the New Haven was ashore at Plumb
Island, is entirely without foundation, she having
never left the wharf at Greenport since Monday
evening last, N

STEAMBOAT DISASTERS In the Boston .Ioswwai
Of Wednesday, we find the following account of
the loss Of another steamer.-
Accounts were received In the city this forenoon o

loss Of the Inflated Atlantic but fortunately not

fireman The vessel and cargo, with all the baggage,
became total loss Her passsngers arrived in the city

orally nothing remains Of her. "
This is the third steamer of whose loss we have
heard within one week, Of course not including
any which may Lave been snsgged III the West
ern waters First, we had to relate the fate of the
Atlantic, with Its dreadful loss of life and property;
next, the collision of the Sutana and Maria, by
which the latter was sunk, and some thirty OF her
passengers scalded to death and drowned and
above, will be noticed the wreck of the British
steamer, in precisely similar circumstances to
those attendant upon the Atlantic. In the case OF
each, the steam pipes first burst disabling the
engines; followed by the drifting Of the vessel
upon lee shore, dragging their anchors, in
terrible gale Of wind, and ending in sad disaster.
One would think that these frequent caamies
should create degree of caution, rendering like
cases in future Of rare occurrence; but after the
nine days are over, all fear is forgotten, and the
public seek tho fastest boats and the quickest
routes, till another sudden warning is given.

We give in another column, from the Union,
the substance of the subjoined intelligence,
which we find communicated from Washington
10 the Northern press, who have an "exclusive
monopoly" of the telegraph:
1t appears that Com. Sloat entered the har-
Dor OF Monterey, and on the 9th of July issued
his proc lamation to the inhabitants of Califor-
MIA, calling upon them to remain peaceful, as
surfing them that he did not come as the enemy
of California, but as their fIiend-that they are
destined to form part and parcel of the great fe-
dera union of the United States, enjoying the
same rights and privileges as the citizens of
those States. They should select their own
civil officers and magistrates, and enjoy all
other privileges of freemen, of which they are
now in part or wholly deprived.
The same revenue laws should be in force in
California as in the United States, by which
means they would, as Californians and members
of the American Union, obtain provisions and
manufactures of the United States duty free,
while other imports would pay duty at least
twenty-five per cent less than is now levied on
the same articles by the laws OF Mexico; those
who will not become citizens of the great
American conlederacy, 10 depart in peace with
all their property, provided they lay down their
arms and remain IN other respects neutral
lie enjons them TO retain their Alcades and
other magistrates till they should have better
digesed the particular form of government
they wish 10 adopt, and have had time to elect
other officers in their places. All property of
private citizens, and particularly that of the
churches, should be respected; all supplies and
provisions paid for, on reasonable terms, and no
private property used for public purposes with
out compensation.
The proclamation is dated Savannah, harbor
of Monterey, and signed John B. Sloat, com
mander-in-chief of the u. s. forces in the Pa.
cifc.
Capt. Montgomery, of the U. S. ship Ports
mouth, entered the harbor OF Yerba buena, and
issued his summons to the inhabitants ofthe
country, in virtue of instructions from the Com
modore. The summons bears date July 8,
1916.
In addition to the above news information
has reached here that Col. Fremonts advanced
posts have reached Sonoma, to the north of
San Francisco. Gen. Castro, Governor of the
Province, advanced at the head of his troops to
repulse them; bat The gallant Col. meeting him
in person, the Mexican forces reiterated

mand and the butcheries Of Goliad nhamed
every Texan to vengeance. He engaged him
self to establish the boundary of Texas and pro-
cure recognition of her independence. And
yet, the revolution which seated him in the
Mexican Presidency, after his return from Tex
as, was Termed by himself upon the ground
that the re-conquest of that department was not
vigorously prosecuted by Bustamente, and he
assumed the supreme command with pledge
to cross the Rio Grande for its restoration.
1t is extremely doubtful if Santa Anna can
take position against the war with safety, if
indeed he be inclined to peace. The accounts
from the interior represent the Mexican feeling
to be very bitter and universal against this
country. Should he find such to be the case
he will scarcely peril his power by any strong
effort to pacify or suppress the popular passion.
But If this be doubtful point, we regard il as
quite certain that he can conduct the war with
more sagacity than any other man in Mexico.
Tie has more experience, more resources, and
can command wider confidence than any 9TH
er. But to our mind, it is better for the United
States that ruler should be at the head of
Mexico, who can and will take the field In
the recent posture of Mexican affairs, there was
scarcely government enough TO war against or
to make peace with. There was no established
dynasty 10 threaten, no concentrated power to
attack. Santa Anna can make sharp war,
and if he do, it will be shorter one than the
advance upon dIsjointed departments and
foggy, indistinct, organization promised to be.
1t is doing more to secure an advantageous
peace to threaten an established government,
than march through territories that are repre-
sented only by factions The capture of Mon
terey and Satillo will end in nothing greater
than the capture of Matamoras and Camargo,
unless there be governmental bring to terms.
The defeat Of faction will not be conquest
ola country. Wherever the American army
appears, the citizens lay down their arms or
flee to the mountains. When the troops are
withdrawn, they will return and be Mexicans
again. AS our army will not burn towns, lay
waste farmsteads or Stay non-combatants, it is
clear that march upon non-resisting power
would be but an expensive parade, The United
States would have to set up social system in
Mexico capable of the functions of government
to achieve peace that would take any thing
by treaty. Under Paredes' administration moth
ing above a guerilla war could be expected
Under Santa Anna contest of results may be
looked for.
