Senator Webster reached TINS city last
evening and was conveyed IN barouche 10
the Revere House. in Bowdoln Square.
where the citizens had assembled to vel.

spoke briefly, and Mr.. Webster replied 10
speech of about fifteen minutes, 10 his
usual forcible and delicious style. He
manfully rebuked the an.i-slavery sgita>
ton. 1t was mere abstraction, and hs

THE USIoN.-Mr. Walker, of Wiscon.
sin, IN a recent speech in the Senate, said:
"May he who intentionally takes the
first step towards this borrid consumma-
ton, suffer through life all the ,orlures OF
despair and wre,chedness! May leprous
scales cling 10 his WretcheG carcass, while
disease, want. hunger, thirst and cold, feed
upon his vitas! And in his latest hour
may he have no kindly hand 10 smooth his
pIl!ow-no kindred smile TO light his exit
to the gravel Nay. sir-may he have no
pillow on which 10 die-no grave in which
10 Iepose! And in the dread tribunal OF
eternity. may he barely meet the mediate.
rial inrerposIion Of Jesus at the throne OF
God! For such wretch the Savior scarce>
ly died!
"This. sir, is my curse for the would.be
destroyer of this Union and Republic. II
he be in this chamber-which | cannot be-
ileve-lhe curse Is for him; and If could
add 10 my tongue the sting of the scorpion,
the fire that is never quenched, the gall
that is persistent through eternity. would
make that curse more poignant, more burn
ing, more bitter"

From MExIco.-Our dates from Yer.
Cruz are to the 18th, and from the civ Of
Mexico to the | 18th inst.
The assassination of the deputy, ST..
Canedo, OF which we have already had an
account, has created. the greatest excite.
ment. The crime is said to have been die.
,a'ed by political motives.
During the performances of the Italian
opera company at Vera Cruz, a mos, d,a-
boIical plot was Matched by some scoun-
dres. II was nothing less than when The
theater was full to set il and other paris Of
the city on fire at the same time, and then
to take advantage Of the confusion and rob
and plumber with impunily. The conspi.
racy was fortunately discovered in time.
and four or five persons suspected of com.
plIcity in the affair, were thrown into the
castle Of San Juan.
A placard was published in the city Of
Mexico, stating that on the 9Th inst, the
parIsans OF Santa Anna were to get I'D q
revolution. The government took all ne.
cessary precautions, the day came and
went, but the pronunciamento,d didn't.
The cholera had diminished. 1t had az.
peared at Quere,aro, within fourteen
leagues Of the capital.
AT Piehad, containing a population OF
5000, about 1000 had died. At MANY
other points the disease was ling, and ia
some OF them very violently.
The people of The capital were fearful
that it would soon attack them.-.N. O.
Picayune, April 90.
A story has recently been put IN circula.
lion, that the President of the United States
will veto the bill for the admission of the
State Of California into the Union, should
II be accompanied BY Territorial bills or
other measures.
The President has never assumed anv
such ground. One Of the greatest COM
plants now made against him by his oppo-
nents is, tina, he declines to interfere with
or 10 attempt to control the legislation of
Congress. He has performed his consl:.
.utIonal duty, and fully recommended, in
regard 10 the newly acquired Territory.
such measures as IN his judgmen, are bes,
calculated 10 promote harmony and good
feeling, by avoiding the unnecessary dis.
cuss'on OF the aslating questions of the
day. He has not attempted by any other
means to influence or control the opinion
OF Congress in reference to this vexed cues.
ton; nor have any OF his Cabinet Minis.
tiers. The President. having performed his
whole duty in this particular, leaves the
decision of the subjec, to the wisdom and
patriotism of that enlightened body, whose
constitutional duty it is TO assist him IN the
administration OF the Government, and 10
whom he looks with confidence for sat.
lsiac'ory adjustment of,he whole matter
Amidst the storm political and party strife
he bears with him the consciousness of rec.
'l'ude, which lie knows will carry him tri-
umphanlly through all dangers, and firm.
ness OF purpose upon which good men NAV
confidently rely for the safety of the Re.
public, under any possible emergency
