Mr. Webster sees clearly the danger Of No.,
these measures. We are more and more s,o,,L.
pressed with the conviction that the Union il,., a.
upon their preservation. AT the dinner lately v;,'.
the common council of The city Of New York Ia mai.
lature of New York, the whole truth was no, ,olI
Seward was there. He denounced disunioDis,s, az a.
fer the mad house. But why did not Mr.. Seward

adhere 10 the Compromise One expression -

The greatest danger which we have TO encounter j.

deny.
Can the -soers shut their eyes 10 the igh Of H.
day. See how Boston is about 10 suffer from The lon
her southern trade. Merchants in Richmond told us IN
other day that they determined to have no iuhs
dealings with Boston, and that they recently met b.
ton merchants in New York who complained that ID.
South had refused 10 deal with her. The Boston Ps

same feeling will extend to New York, il she should Be
tempted in an evil hour TO connive at the acts Of he

And yet il is at this very momentwhen il must be Oh
