MR.. WEBSTER SOUTH.

The Charleston Mercury and Courier both applaud
Mr. Webster's speech in warm terms The Mercury
says
"We cordially respond to that testimony OF approval.
and take the occasion say, that whether not
merit the character of ultrasm, literally allowed
to u.s. we have never had any of that ultraism which
could prompt view such discussion of great pub
country with any other feelings than admiration and de-
light:
"Not that wholly, agree with hm-not that there
are not many points Of disagreement, but nowhere has
he urged his opinions oensivey and when he reaches
the grounds of the present controversy, he marks
his way SO clearly, and reads so loyalty the plain
track Of the Constitution and pledges of the Govern
with him. With such spirit Mr.. Webster has shown,
it no longer seems impossible to bring this sectional
contest to close, and feel now for the first time since
Congress met, hope that it may be so adjusted"
Well said, for South Carolina!

MR.. TOOMBS SPEECH.

1t has long been question in grave dispute
amongst political econoEisis, whether the pressure
of populations apon each other will ever crowd
doubt, that the demands upon the space of public
journal, in these exciting times, are exceedingly
difficult to meet. We have never known Con-
gress to furnish many speeches which deserve to
be read by all who desire to form intelligent views
of the present crisis in our public affairs.
We are now publishing the very able speech
recently delivered by Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia,
whom we consider, without any exception, the first
man in the House of Representatives. We hap
pened TO be present in the House, when Mr..
Toombs spoke, and know that the effort produced
marked impression upon members from both sec
tons of the Union. Northern men had expected
the speaker to be violent. They were agreeably
surprised by the deliberate moderation of his man.
ner, and yet it evident they felt the force of his
conclusions. 1t is by such frmness, tempered
with Kindness that Southern representatives can
always best advance the cause they sustain.
NEW JERsEY.-It appears by recent statistics,
that it is estimated the State of New Jersey WILL in
in the year 1850, derive the sum of 1868, 299 from
what are termed "transit dutes," (Which, we be-
lieve, are assessed on all passengers passing
through the State) on the Camden and Amboy
and the New Jersey Railroads. The whole re-
ceipts into the Treasury, during the year, are es-
timated at $4,000. The State will probably
derive $4,000, surplus earnings, from the State
Prison Virginia would do we'll to inquire how
this is managed.

ANOTHER CoMPRoMIsE.--,I is said that Mr. Dicken-
son of New York, is framing another compromise on
the following basis:
l. To run the line of Sc deg. 80 min through to the
Pacific.
3 To admit California, north OF the line, State.
3. To provide governments Tor Desere and New
Mexico North and the other South (mosty) of the
line without word about slavery.
4. To pay Texas Tor the disputed territory.
s. To divide out Texas into three additional slave
States, prospectvey, offset to Minnesota, Oregon
and California.
Some Southern say they would be satisfied with
this but the few Northern to whom the plan has
been mentioned scout giving all the turkeys to the
South.
OF all the Northern men it is due to Mr.. Dickinson
to say that he is the least preudced against the South
about the suferings ofhe negroes but love for the
Union, which would make any sacrifice rather than
disunon. Ridiculous as this proposition may seem of
his, the North must accept something like this, the
games out.

This precious babe after six weeks of great
suffering, has been called from this world Of
sin, to repose on the bosom of that Saviour who
hath said. 1t is not the will of my Heavenly
Father that one OF these little ones should
perish" One other beautiful bud has been re-
moved from garden of thorns and blight here

look up, look heavenward behold this mortal
has put on immortality-that babe which was
born for few brief moments, in this world Of
sin and suffering, is now a cherub of celestial
beauty born for eternity in heaven.
Mother check thy bitter weeping,
Thy babes not dead but sweetly sleeping
Look not to the dark cold tomb,
There is not the spirits home;
Raise thy heavy teaSful eye
Look beyond the tranquil sky
There upon thy Saviour's breast,
Does this newborn cherub rest
Pain and suffering all are DER;
Thy lovely one can die no more,
Then listen to thy Saviour's voice,
His words should make thy heart rejoice,
The Lord thy babe in Kindness kecpeth
He says, she is not dead but sleepeth.
