Mr. Webster's speech at Bahimore Is exciu ng considerable attemion in various quaners. correspondence between MrWebster audsorne wenty-five capiialists of Boston has been pubishcd; in which Mr. W. defines his position more óÜsuhcuy. He eays, n substance, that he !eara the TarifTwilI not stand as it is- that it ought to be made permanent - that'the continued agitation of the subject is an evil - that stahility s the great desiderátum - that in his opinión aft ïuljustment of the matter may be made - ihat all the grain and all the cotton raised in the country cannot be consumed herc, but a portion of each must be exported - that those coiicerned in these interests can be brought to a harmony and connert of action - that he has made extensive cnquiries at the North, South, West, and in the center, and has considerble hopes of euccesding. - ■ Further, he has noexpectation of being concerned in any way in any negociation3 on this subject, and he has no wish to go abroad on the public service. The kr.owing ones regard the recent movement of Mr. Webster as a v.-ell conirived plan to head Mr. Clay. The N. Y. Heríild predicts that his views will be well received in New . Er.aland.We are sntistíed the grniri-growers of the West have butlittle to hope from the action of a statesman 60 thoroughly subjected to the Slave Power as Mr. Webster is. Nearly all the important changes that have taken place since the establishment of the government, have been originaied by the Slave Power, in the vain hope of discovering some nnknown tnethod of makirg slave labor as profitable as free. Change wlll be the order of the day while Slavery holds the reins of government. However. it f one encouraging circumstance that the evil of change has been made known to the rulers, and that it is so emphatically acknowledged. A knowledge of tho nature ofanevilis a necessary jire-reqnisite to its cure.
