Question Of 50 80, and the Prsidents Interference IN
Nev Merieo "A Question Settled tch the Correspondent
Of the New York Heraid-Afr. Barnwsus Debut.
Mr. Webster, this morning, settled the question Of
law regarding the public domain in California, show
ing from ths constitution that the public lands re.
main in the possession Of the government, though the
municipal soversgnty of the territory may be merged
in State. The speech strong but prosy and
dull argument in the Supreme Court With re-
gard to the division Of maratms California, by the
line Of 80 80, Mr Webster thought 1t inexpedent and
of value to the South the Southern part Of Call
fornia is not adapted to slave labor This Is not ex
actly California, south Of SO 80, produces readily
sugar, cotton, tobacco, Indian corn, olives oranges
&c.; and, by irrigation the being abundant
for the purpose large slave population may be
picyed in the cultivation of these products The cli-
mate is hot and not adapted to white labor but ex-
actiy adapted to slave Labor and, il there are sny
OF gold In the mountains, that Is obstacle
itself to the introduction of the Southern institution;
and the very why the extreme South require
share in California, the Pacific Ia that they
excluded by the natural obstacles Of deserts, and
cold parched up SOIL with the few habtsble patches
already occupied and from q pre- existing state OF
thngs from any participation in the rest OF the terri
tories acquired from Mexico H. therefore CALIFORNIA;
Is admitted without division, the South sbso-
lutey and entirely excluded from every foot Of
the territories acquired from Mexico in the scquisi
teers and money There is then, wide disagreement
between Mr. Webster view the case and that of the
leading men of the South.
But we pass from Mr. Webster TO General Foots
The General contends that the Missouri Compromise
repudisted BY Mr.. Calhoun, and has been repudi-
ated by the South, where heretofore II proposed
for their adoption and forth and that all prac
ticsble purposes 1t IL good for nothing, though he

the last. rs the ark Of safety
But the General reserved the climax Of his indisna-
tion for the benefit of the President and the cabinet
Hear him: Whoever, said General Poote, " coun-
scsd this proceeding in New Mexico, is accursed
traitor to his country and hope his forehead will be
branded by the stamp Of infamy."
This bold denunciatory language Is an inklins Of
what may expect In the further discussion of
powers conceded by the President to Colonel Monroe
The resolution offered by General foote yesterday

And that the President be requested to inform the
Senate whether any civil military government In

the Rio rande exists or Is sanctioned by the authority
Of the Executive in opposition to the jurisdiction
claimed by the State OF Texas"
And now that the horse has been stolen Cen Cass
proposes to lock the stable door by the following
"Resolved That the Committee on Military Affairs be
