Interesting Debate in the Senate.
We surrender a large space, this evening, to
the report Of a debate in the Senate, on Thurs.
day Of last week, on the Compromise Bill.
We can never sufficiently regret the posi-.
ton in which the great New England Sen.
ator, DANIEL WEBSTER, has placed himself, in
respect to Sla very, and this Wanted measure
Of paciGca'ion, the Compromise. 1t is without
a remembered parallel! If we could refer to
ii without modification aud sorrow, we should
laugh. We never observed anything SO indie.
lcnsib|c in argument, and SO ridiculous in
position. o., benevolent reader, be good enough
TO look at il! DANIEL WEBSTER says, in his
famous 7th Of March Speech which Mr.. Call
noUN apPlauded, and Which made glad the
heart Of the Slavery propaglnljsts of the
South, that lie is opposed lie the Wilmot Pro-
viso because Slavery can never exist, being
prohibited by God and Na;urc) IN New Mexico.
But where, oh, where IS New Mexico E? The
same DANIaL WEBSTER, in the report Of his
speech below, says Texas claims title to a
portion Of tie territory [of New Mexicol
where is the limit, then, within which are the
peol lie Of New Mexico and the citizens o
Texas? Texas has exercised juriSd ciion orer
a LARGE PORTION Of territory ciaiaed jy
Ncw Metjco 3c.' But Texas is a relentless
aud unmitigatcd Slave State and asserts her
claim to jurisdiction over ga large portion of
New Mexico, and that claim is warmly aud
zealously supported in both Houses of the Ma
tional Congress. Suppose, as appears to be a
good deal more than likely, she is able to main.
ia n and establish that claim, and thus make
g a large portion" Of New Mexico "a Slave
State, what becomes of Mr.. WEBsrER's laws
of physical formation and Providence, which
! are forever to prevent the existence Of Slavery
