hw York, Tuesday errniag, Nor.
l9.-Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary
of State. arrived in this city last even
ing on his way TO Washington. This
morning, Mr.. Webster was waited on
by the Committee of Safety appointed
here AT the great Union meeting, and by
considerable number Of our most res
pcctablc merchants. engaged in all The
various branches of commerce, who de
sired to express 10 him their profound
gratitude for his patriotic and national
course. Hiram Kctchum, Esq, was the
organ Of the Union Committee. and in
most appropriate language, he express
ed the views of the depulation.
Mr.. Webster replied. in substance, that
he was highly gra,ifcd TO receive such
n delegation from the committee appoin
ted by the general union meeting in
Castle Garden, and the other gentlemen
who had accompanied them. The pur
poses Of that meeting, its aim and oh
ccis. met with the approval OF his head
and his heart and with all his mind and
his might he would always be ready to
defend them, and TO carry them out
(Applause.) -,
There were crises in public affairs,
when il was necessary to revive and re
animate our attachment to the Union, To
recall the principles upon which il was
founded, and the motives for which it
was formed. One of these crises now
existed, and, in his opinion, there was no
place for this revival so becoming rs
among the men for whom the Union was
formed. and whose influence confirmed
and established il.
The Union was originally created for
many purposes. One was to pay of
the national debt another was TO secure
the proceeds of the public lands for the
paymen, of that debt. There were ye,
others to make us one people. and to
give us peace at home and respectful II
iy abroad But it will be found by
those who investigate the matter, that
the main purpose for the Union was form
ed was to aid and protect trade and
commerce. Under the old confederation

FuaIrivH SLAVES AT THE NoRTH.-
A pamphlet published Mt Washington,
estimates the number OF slaves who have
escaped from the South in the last forty
years. ut 81. .62I, or 800 annually, and
the total loss Ss7,73O, 300. The main
element in determining these results il
the difference between The actual in
crease OF the free bi'rk population OF
the North from one census 10 another,
and what the increase would have been
had il been craiiinci 10 natural causes.
The author states that the slave popu-
laiion Of the South doubles once in ihir-
" ycars,-that the free neg:ocs of the
South double once in 25,-that the Tree
negroes ol the North and West double
once in 40 years from the natural in
crease alone that the free negroes oI
the Souih are the most stable and least
migratory any class of population in
the United States leaving on, ofqucs-
iion their migration TO other Slave
Smtes.-that considerably more OF the
free negroes migrate from the free States
10 the Slave States, than from The Slave
States to the Free Stntcs--and that for
ty-nine filtieths of all native negroes oi
the Slave States who are found in the
Free Srites were fugitive slaves when
they 'et the Slave States.

A DEATn SEINE IN KEsTUcry.--On
Saturday last party OF young men, to
gethcr with the deputy sheriff OF tins
county, proceeded toward the rcsidorce
of Edmond Beazlcy, in the Southern
portion Of this county, to take him for
examination as lunatic, he being, as it
was supposed, lunatic.
On arriving at his farm they halted
about three hundred yards from his
dwelling house TO consult ms TO the best
means to be adopted about arresting
him. In the midst of their consultation
Beazley came up, having pistol in his
hand, and ordered them to leave his
farm Immediately, or he would resort to
means that would compel them to do
so. They all left, with the exception Of
the sheriff and IA man named Gilpin.--
Gilpin, when ordered to leave, told
Bcazley if he did not put up the pistol he
would kill him, at the same time exhibit
ing rifle gun, Beazley thcreupon left
him and went to his house. Gilpin and
the sheriff following little in his rear.
When Bcazley entered his house,
Gilpin and the sheriff stopped advancing
towards the house. Beazley in n few
minutes came out Of the house With a
pistol cooked and went up to the fence
Of the yard, and then told them he would
kill them if they advanced another step.
The sheriff ordered Gilpin to advance.
Gilpin thcreupon advanced within ten
steps of Peazley.
BeazIey then leveled his pistol at Gil
pin. Gilpin thereupon drew up his rife,
took deliberate aim and shot him thi oueh
the stomach. BeazIcy walked ten steps
and fell. BY this time one of the young
men Of the party, that had been driven
oil, returned and carried him to the
house, where he died in few minutes.
Gilpin gave himself up, and is to be
tried this afternoon. Much excitement
prevails; fears are expressed by some
that violence will be done the party who
had gone to arrest him.
