better spirit prevails for tlio general ad

To say the least of our sail from Orleans

would seem for a lime to put to flig.it all

DANIEL WEUSTEU.
Some of the opposition papers whicli had
commended Mr. Webster so highly for his
great speech in behalf of the Union, suhse
ipien'ly manifested much nlarn least he
should recede frmn iho high ground ho had
taken, It may have been that the desire
wns In 'her to the thought. Ue that as it
ir.sy.it isipntu evident that there was no
necessity for the extreme nervousness of
some of hi.' Democratic culogizers on the
iccasj iu. Mr. Webstorisn.it tho man to
iniij ground hastily, nor recede from il
when once taken. In this connrclion, we
copy the following paragraph, from the
Charleston Courier, of the :21-t:
The Hun, Daniel .U'ebsler.h will be
seen by one of our Washiiiginn letters that
this disi ingui-lieil statesman stands firm in
iii-1 posftiui! he has both advocated and
voted f r Mr. Soule's nmemlmenl, declar
ing that New Mexico nnd Utah, when fur
meil iuio Slates, shall come in'u the Union,
wi h or without slavery as their constitu
tions shall severally proscribe. The galle
ries applauded him whin he reiterated his
intention to persevere in the course required
of him (to use his own words on tho oceni
si-.n) by
eiiuouness and steadiness of
purpose;" and, the passage of tho amend
ment, by tho largo and gratifying voto if
lid lo I'd, wns doubtless greatly owing to
the bold and determined attitude of this Co
lossus of ihe Senate. Wo may even sny
thnt ho has taken a step forward; for, while
adhering ill the main, lo his previously ex
pressed opinions onanist the extension of
tdiivery, except so far as required by tho an
nexation compact with Texas, ho declared
that, if ho qualified thoso opinions nt nil, It
was lo nckuewledgu that "A'l 'hat is Tex
as, is, by tho legislation if ll.o, thrown
under iho general character of Texan Tcrri.
tore nnd if, for want of defining the
boundaries of Now Mexico, by any proceed- j
ing or process, or by any events, hereafter,
any portion which he and others did not be.'
lievo 10 bo Texas should be considered to
b"comu Texas, then so far ho. qualified his
remark of March 7th," viz; "that every
fnut of tho Territory of the United States
has now a fixed cliarneter for slavery or no
slavery." After this, wo moy well regnrd
Mr. Webster's fugitive slnve bill, concocted
in February last, nnd lately brought to light,
as a tub thrown to the Northern whale, and
we hope il.o monster may be allowed to play
with it ad libitum.

Getting jealous of a woman is sure lo
put the devil in her head, if he wasn't there
before. We never saw a wife charged
with doing wrong without her being guil

are going on ill, the best method you can
pursue is to get up a counter irritation, and
make her jealous of you. As for blowing
your brains out with a pair of bellows, or
hanging yourself with a trammel, don't

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Juno 17.
The proceedings of-Congress, during the
last week, have been very interesting; still,
not much progress has bepn made in the
adjustment hill. In the House, amend
ments have been discussed and the South
ern men have timed the division of the ten
rilory hy the parallel of thitty six thirty.
.Mr. Soule ollered nn amendment, in the
Semite, on Saturday, which, if it pass, will
render the adjustment hill prelerahle, in the
opinion of some of Ihe Southern men, to
tho Missouri line, at least so far ns regards
ihe territory east of California. The
amendment provides that the territories may
be admitted ns slaveholding Suites if llieir
people so determine.
Mr, Clay has expressed his purpose, it
is said, lo retire from the Senate as sunn as
his adjustment hill shall pass. lie does
not intend, herealter, to lake nny part in
ihe demonstration in favor of a revival of
the American system.
Washington, June 10.
The information from New-Orleans iliat
the Captain General of Cuba has released
the Contoy prisoners, gives great satisfac
tion here. Il was previously known that
the Spanish Minister, who is an enlight
ened and humane man, had recommended
Iliat course. Mr. Clayton was, hy no
means, confident of n favorable result, even
after he had dispatched his letter of the 1st
lo Gen. Campbell, advising the Count ol
Alcoy iliat if hs shed a drop of American
blood unjustly, it would provoke a sangui
nary war. The letter Wes dispatched to
Havana by Ihree different channels, so as
lo ensure its enrly reception, and it is pre
sume,! thnt it hastened the action of Ihe
Spanish Government. This Government
will thus he confirmed in its policy in re
gard to Cuba, and lestrain those subject lo
its laws from hostile expeditions against it.
This mailer being at rest, the next thing
to he talked of is ihe affairs of Si. Domin
go, and Ihe probability that an expedition
will be organized in Cuba or in the United
States, for the relief of the Dominican; and
the conquest of t lie Ilaytiens. Some sup
pose that this Government will press its de-
nand for indemnities due American citi
zens from llayti. The claims amount to
a million and a half of dollnis. Il is quite
certain that the Island is not to ' subject
to the Afiican race, nnd thai some revolu-
tiou is there about to lake place.

Mr. Clay is evidently failing in vigor and

Washington. June 22.
The Senate is now taking a recess. Air.
Clay has retired into the country for a few
days. I imagine that, next week, Mr. Ben
ton nnd other opponents of Ihe adjustment
bill will bring forward vexatious sniend
menls. and thus, final action upon it may be
defeated or delayed. Mr. Clay an-l hi
friends wish to get the qjetiion or. .1onday

ihpy must be equally desirous of a decision.
The House has, for some days, been en
