MIR. Webster.

We are grati6ed in being able to lay before our
readers the following correspondence, although we
do not conceive that any evidence, in addition to
what has been already laid before the public, was
necessary for the complete rcfutaon of the charges
against Mr.. Webster, which were based on pre-
tended correspondence between him and Mr.. Ha-
ven. ~
The letters now published confirm, in tho fullest
manner. the proof already given that those charges
were without foundation:
go BosroN, March 11th, 1851.
Ma. HALx--Sir: Notwithstanding the charges
against Mr.. Webster Of having made pccuniary
conditions previous TO his accepting the Office Of
Secretary OF State have fallen TO the ground, yet,
~ some dssire has been expressed BY many per-
sons TO know what he wrote to the subject Of
Cabinet appointments, hand you for publication
the following letter, which II the only one ever
received from him in relation to the State Depart
ment, prior to bis announcement to me that he
had accepted that Office.
Subsequently TO the receipt of this letter, the
simple fact was communicated to me that the Of
fce had been rendered to him, and nothing more.

Ruin and Deoay-motlves to secession.

A writer in the Charleston (S. CO. Mercury
begins lugubrious appeal In these words:
llow-citzens! from the Potomac to the sa
bine, stand to your arms The cup Of your degra-
dation is full. These repeated insults cannot be
endured any longer, having been continued for
thirty years without the least expectation of redres;
or amelioration."
Therefore, says this philosopher, secede
separately and at once. Kindred specimens o
hallucinatlon figure daily in prominent type in
the same journal, which nevertheless admits,
in its rational moments, that in every thing per
tanning to commerce, Charleston and South Ca
rolina never enjoyed greater prosperity than
now.
The Montgomery (Ala.) Secession Banner is
another of these sorrowing mourners over the
ruin of the South. "The Union is killing us, .
is the burden Of the lachrymose ditty which
the Banner is everlastingly singing and yet
strange to say, in the last number which has
come to hand we have the following paragraph
"The appearance Of our streets indicates the
commencement, in good earnest, OF the business
con. Market street, from the Exchange to the Stat
House, presents picture of life and activity Of thai
kind which only characterines heavy commercial
transactions and mart Of great importance. The
extremely low stage Of the river operates against
the merchants, and has tendency TO limit the
business of the city; but ths evil II is hoped will
not long exist. Freights are very high, and even
at higa prices merchants cannot get their goods
from the seaboard with any despatch or GER
tainty."
A striking commentary on the diatribes Of the
grievance-mongers Apretty conclusive proof
that the South is prospecting, in spite Of all the
talk and prophecies of the Disunionists

WASHINGTON:
TUESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 80, 1851.


"Theseries of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me- as a settlement, in principle
and substance--a final settlement-ofth the danger
Gus aud exciting subjects which they embraced"
''By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, willjus-
tify me IL ExHoRTISe NY oouNTRYmEN TO RALLY

IPREsIDEHr FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
s'The President message, at the opening of the
spresent session of Congress, expresses fully and
'plainly his own and the unanimous opinion ofall
'those associated with him in the Executive admin
1istration OF the Government, in regard to what
care called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
IA fnalssttlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
neutrality-suspicious. and connection, they formed
a system Of compromise the most conciiatory
'and beet for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
'oplnions, and that therefore they should be ad-
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
monsrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, &c
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
viii be acted upon steadily and decisivey. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security o
'thc Constitutionrequresth and everyconside
ration of the public good demands this. If tn,
Administration cannot stand upon theprinciplei
ofthe message, it does not xpect to stand at ALL
at Westchesier.

MIR. Fillmore and his Administration,

Mr.. Boris, of Virginia, in his recent speech
at Richmond accepting the Wing nomination
for Congress from that district, made the fol
lowing allusion to Mr.. FILLMORE and his Ad-
administrations:
"There is another question, gentlemen, which it
becomes you 10 consider, and do not think that
shall be violating the rule prescribed to myself
ducing any subject upon which my worthy com
petitor would desire TO reply to me-by making a
slight reference g 3. aliude to the support of the
present Administration. Is it not, fellow citizens,
entitled to our support? Are we not under obliga-
tions to the Executive Department Of this Govern
ment for the present favorable condition Of things
which we enjoy? shall go to Washington, if elect
ed your representative, with the honest determi.
nation of supporting the present Administration as
long as its future course is distinguished by the
features that have characterized it in the past.

in the Administration of Willard Fillmore, of which
do not most cordially approve and stand ready to
sustain. ] will not enumerate them; will only
say that stand prepared, here and hereafter, to
justify and defend every act Of the Administration
OF Willard Fillmore, SO far ns my knowledge of
them extends, from the commencement of his
Administration down to the present time; and if !
am elected your representative shall go to Wash

he keeps within the limits OF constitutional law as
he has hitherto, shall continue to support him"

The REMAINS OF STEPHEN GIRARp, at Philadel-
phia, are to be removed to-day with Masonic hon
ors, and placed in sarcophagus in the Girard Col
ege, which has been prepared for the purpose.
The relatives of the deceased millionaire prayed
injunction to prevent the removal, the plea that
Mr.. Girard had directed that his remains should
be buried in the ground of the Holy Trinity Catho-
lie Church in Philadelphia, near the remains Of his
relatives, being the Catholic faith while in life,
but the injunction was refused.

How "SBoEssIoN CALLS" ARE MANUFACTURED
The Southern Standard, published at Charleston
S. c., gives the following extract from aletter from
St. Johns Berkeley to gentleman Of Charleston
with regard to the long list of names which was
attached to the call for separate secession:
81 notice the list of signatures to the call for
the meeting on the 18th inst. my name, with many
other strong co-operationists. Since my signing
that list it has been headed, Auxiliary Southern
Rights Association Of St. Philips and ST. Michaels

to make it very different thing from what was
signed by myself and others"

CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP OF BALTIMoRE-The
Catholic Herald, published at Philadelphia, has
the following information in relation to the ap-
pointment Of a successor to the late Archbishop
Eccleston, principal Catholic Archbishop of the
United States
"During tho past week various have
been circulated respecting the flingof the vacant
of Baltimore, which have caused many anxious
inquiries. We therefore deem it best to state that
authentic Information has been received that on
the Sd utimo his holiness, Plus TX, promoted the
bishop of this docess to that see, and, at the
time, nominated him Ablegate to preside at the
National Council to be held next May, in the city
of Baltimore The official documents, however,
have not yet been received. Bishop Garland, who
is no doubt by this time at Rome, will probably
bring the pallium on his return"

DIR. Creighton received nine clerical and two lay
votes over DR.. Wainwright. The bishop elect is
said to be Of the "High Church" party of the Pro-

For some time past the New York papers havs
afforded evidence OF growing difficulties in rea-
ton to monetary matters in that city; and the recent
failures not calculated to produce any benefi-
cial change. The Boston Aiias states that in that
city very high rates are freely paid for short loans
and inyiew of the large payments on foreign &C
count, which are to be met during the coming
month, it nothing in the existing state of at
fairs to warrant even the expectation of ease and
plenty" Our contemporary says:
"The causes of the existing evil may as well be
looked at boldly in the face, passed by without
reproach. The importations of late have been toe
heavy in proportion to our necessities; and there
immense quantities Of goods now in the coun-
try which useless to people would
be the fifth wheel to a coach These have been, or
or are to be, paid for. And again: We ex-
porting specie to an alarming extent, when we are
unable to bear the burden the expectation will in
flct upon The currency of the country has
not suitable specie basis and until this basis is
secured our finances will be in fuctuating con-
dition. Could get rid of our breadstuffs, with
but 1.-THE part of the facility we can our gold,
there would be little or suffering to record
among mercantile men, for our importations would
be balanced in that event. by the expectation of the
only articles of produce we could well spare. Be-
fore this country afford to export specie in
large quantities various things will have to be eff
iected; among which is the establishment of basic
of currency adapted to the wants OF the mercantile
community"
In conuexion with this subject, we notice state
ment in the Newark IN. J) Daily Advertiser
which, if true, may give rise to well grounded ap-
prehension. 1t is as follows:
"We observe not only an illegal practice spring
ing up, but one pregnant with serious effects
should il become common. II is the old contriv-
ance of post notes, which made such figure in the
specializing days of lS35'36. By this machinery

public dinner was given at Nag's Head
(North Carolina) on the 9Th instant, at which
a number OF the distinguished men Of the coun-
try Were invited to attend. The object was to
awaken and keep alive the interest which is
now being taken in favor of the improvement
Of the harbor at that place. The following let
ter was received from Mr. WEBSTER:
FRANKLIN, N. H., August 20, 1851.
GENTLEMEN: quite regret that it is not in my
power to accept your respectful invitation to at
tend the proposed meeting at Nag's Head. lfmy
engagements permitted, j should most cheerfully
be guest on that occasion.
do not think it strange, gentlemen, that you
should feel an interest in the opening Of Nag Har
Dor Inlet, that you should think that object wor-
the General Governments. The accomplishment
ofjudicious undertakings of this sort is by no
mere matter Of local importance. II benefits all
parts of the country. Whatever facilitates the en-
try of ships vessels into the bays and harbors OF
North Carolina is useful, not only to the State OF
North Carolina herself, but to the whole shipping
interest, commercial interest, and manufacturing
interest of the country. The object ia, believe,
important; it is clearly within the Just authority
the General Government; the treasury of that Gov
eminent has ample means to accomplish il; and
cordially wish you and your friends full success in
the prosecution of the enterprise.
am, gentlemen, with entire regard, your ODE
dent servant, DANIEL WEBSTER.
