Mr. Foote declared his determination yesterday no,
to press his resolution Immediately upon the Senate
in the face of the debate. We respect his forbear-
ance, whilst we cannot but sympathize with his anx-
ety to refer the whole question select committee

they have little or no hopes of its We mus,
be excused for saying that this is not the spirit
which such an important proposition should be met.
We have taken some pains to ascertain the sentiment
in the House of Representatives, and must say
that the same conciatory and con6ding spirit which
appears to actuate that body to animate the
Senate, as there was strong reason TO hope few
days ago. there would be fair prospect of the whole
controversy being fairly adjusted.
Let every patriotic statesman forbear to cast any
doubts upon the success of the proposition but lei
him meet every scheme of compromise with sincere
disposition to appreciate and promote it deserres
Let no proposition be urged and issues be
made of the adoption Of which there is not reason
able hope; and we trust, like General Foote, tina,
something may be proposed which will satisfy the
country, and may ultimately succeed in settling this

Correspondence Of the Charissfon Conrier.1
w ARLINGTON, March 10. 4
{ Nothing is talked Of here but the triumphant
speech Of Daniel Webster. All Southern and nearly
.all the Western men, with whom have conyersed.
are content to stand his platform. Nospeech ev-
er delivered by Mr. Webster has had such an effect
as this. has brought already. con6dencb and ar-
mony. Still. am not WITHOUT fears thatfhe North
ern men IN congress will not up to the suppors
OF Mr.. Webster's views These men are, to use Mr..
}. =. Adams phrase, palsied by the will Of their
constituents" Two-thrds of the House are ready
to admit that Mr.. Websters views are incontrover,i-
BILE; but still, they are afraid of the denunciaons Of
factions in their own districts. We have no doubt
that some project, based Mr. Webster's views, will
command large majority in the Senate. What the
House will do, no man can tell. sorry to find
that already. there are powerful influences work. in
the House, TO counteact the effect of Mr. Websters
speech. could name two members from Massachu-
sets, one from New Hampshire, one from Ohio, and
several from New York, from each of whom had
hoped better things.
Mr.. Webster throws himself upon the country
is to the country that he appeals. He vndicates
his own consistency, and combats Northern prejudice
Much of his speech is directed necessarily and prop
ery, to these objects. But his strength is employed
chiefly in the enforcement Of constitutional obga-
tlons, in the maintenance of the obligation cf COM
pacts, and in the vndicaton of the laws of Nature
as superceding and rendering unnecessary laws of
Congress in regard to slavery. l cannot doubt not
wltlstanding the fears of some Northern members,
that the great mass of the Northern people will
to his views. Northern gentleman of distinction,
now here, says, to the timid and hes.atng, In FIVE
weeks, you will witness the great ground-sweIl of
conservative opinion in the North.''
= The Administration, as have reason to know feels
greatly relieved by the stand taken by MIR. Webster.
1t is considered, here that the danger is over. We
are not quite out of the woods but we can see our
way out
Crowds of people are brought to Washington by
