ik addressed to the Convention as- a 1787, for the purpose of framing the constitution. He tho wed that Dr. #.heldthe same views which he (Mr. W) aivocated. Mr. W. also entered into a lengthened ée‘ail of the proceedings of the conventions of the merchants and ship-builders, and of the mechanics and tradesmen of Boston who assembled at the same period, for the paspose of petitioning the old Congress for protection. These movements he contended exercised a very important influence on the ratification of the Constitution. fle then proceeded:—] Now, gentlemen, if we look (o the debates in all those Conven- tions —to the expositions of all the leading men ot that period—we will find that every where it was beld out as & great reason for adopting the Constitution that it would ive reasonable and fair iavorand encouragement to all the fone industry of the country. The power, then, is in the Constitution. The question is as to the expodiency of its fair exercise. Allow me to say again that [ am for nothing excessive. I wish in the exercise of this and allother pow- ers about which persons differ, much moderation. In a tariff for the encouragement of our manufactures remember that there is a shipping and mercantile and both the one and the other must be looked to I desire for the importing classa fair, just, eqaal I desire nothing excessive. I wisl ws regulating imports to be framed with great care and impartiality—that there should be no traps —nothing unexpected—nothing spriaging up a engaged in the importing business of the cour then | think that ia its moderate exercise this power of laying duties is expedient and calculated to secure the goodot the whole country. Inthe first place let me re- mark upon the extreme injustice which prevails in some of the country, of attacking tariffs because it is they favor “the rich corporations of New Enog- by, we know here that there is not th i foundation for ali that—that these corporations ips; that they have no monopoly, nothing ein them; that any bedy may form a corpora it is only because such a proceeding is calculated to subserve the safety of capital, aud the part nership consistiog of various persons being much more conveniently conducted by corporatians, that they are carried on in that way rather than by means of inden- ture, and that’sthe whole o! Well, gentlemen, with- outarguing this point. I believe that a tariff with mode rate duties,cere(ully lait, and jastly calculated, is expe dient, in the first place, hecause | think that it augments the aggregate of national weslth be stimutating labor. I should be very hanpy—I_ believe I must take the liverty to pat on my hat—(and Mr, Webster here put it on with the suticiently marked approbation of the assemblage ) I should be gial in other circumstances to go into this at some length, but I can only glance at it. It is the opi- nion of all intelligent men that labor is the great prodac- tive source of wealth, and they all admit too that capital 1s the stimuluso' labor. Well, it seems to me to follow ara matter of course that if that capital be applied on the spot—directly in the presence of the labor ng community —it operates better than if it be applied ia a foreign coun- try, and reash us only consequentially and remotely Now, geotiemen, Mr. McCulloch—a gentleman of great distinction in the science of political economy, and all le writers, admit that capital is the instrument ot labor—that the quantity of labor in any country is in Proportian to the stimuli applied to cali out that labor by Ido not thi-k that any man in any age has con- ributed more to promote correct knowledge in statistics and political economy than “ir. McCulloch. But if the opinion de not presumptions I would vencure with great respect to say that some of hisopinions are a little too ab stract for application. I’ tT may not say that, Tcan I chink @ least be permitted t y that thegwpinions to which I allude are not apulicabie to such a state of things as exist intve United States [thiok that our society that there is nosuch broad distinction be capital on the eue hand and Iaboron the other,with here exists in Englani. In short {I believe, there is No subject which requires an essay to develope it and to set it forth in all its promiaence and all its importance, so mach asthe charactero American labor. There is no- thing like it on this globe—there never has been. Now, American lehor—our labor in this particular state of things, reaches heyonda mere subsistence. They whe reason on this subject in Europe, consider that all accu- mulation accrues to capita!, and that labor extends only to mere subsistence. But with us we know that labor ob- tains—accumulates—nugments it means. We know that labor even creates capital. and that is our condition, from the vast extent of uncultivated lands beyond us—the western wilderness—and that will be our condition, and let me add our happy and most fortunate condition for half a century tocome. G:ntlemen, labor in the United Statesis respectable. Ours is a country of labor most emphatically. Luhor here creates for itself capital, and hence it 1s that laher and capital become so mixed, wi interest, with care and impartiality. so minglel, #0 blen'ed, together beyond any experience ‘in any other part of the world. — Why, gentlemen, if a European writer will tun his considera'ioa to what is the value of 100 acres of the best land upon earth in a remote wilderness—at the footof the Rocky Mountains, for instaace, or in the mid- dle of one ofthe Spanish provinces on the west coast of America, at what will he estimate it is worth? Why, i it’s valueless till the tiller of jabor with it. Bat the moment the American laborer goes on one of these parcels of land the first tree he fells creates capital and fuel; and ry stroke of his sturdy arm bestowed upon it, notonly gives him the means of subsistenee as a laborer from day to day, but augments constantly upon his capital; end where else do you find such a state of things ? In any other part of the eartn can you find such aciass of la- borers 7 Gentlemen, I have ventured to express a doubt whether some of the principles propounded by Mr. Me- Culloch are applicable to us. He bas laiddown in the nobiest and most truthful terme, propositions which lie at the foundation of our prosperity, I shall read them toyou. “ The best interests of socivty,” says ho,“ re- quire that the rate of wages should be elevated as high as ble, that a taste for the comforts of human life should e wideiv diflnged, aad if possible interwoven with our prejudices anihabits Alow rate of wages perpotually, inders an exertion to possess these comforts from being made; and is of allothers the most fruitful cause of that idleness 6nd apathy which prevent men from seeking more than the means whieh may barely continue animal existence.

We are here inthe centre of a great county, agricultu and manufacture ing. Here are farmers and manu‘actarers in allt varieties, and what is the rate of wages? Why, formed that the ales employed in these factori after paying theic week’s board $3 i sterling per week. land, or Ger illings Is there any thing likethat in Eng or Russia? And Iam told that men without g |, employed in these factories, in the same way paying for their board, earn $12 per month on an average. Do the manufacturing establish- ments of any part of the world show anything like that ? And united with all this, we must recollect that there isa degree of personal respectabili'y—of elevation of charac- ter; a degres of education which exist no where els and now, gentlemen, why should we wish to change this state of things by any thror‘es; any notions; any new apeculative attempts npon the great interests of thecom- munity 7 1 confess I feel astonishment when I censider what [ know to b» trae, that there are in this Commonwealth, and in this very circle around me—-I dare ‘say—-many persons who maintain al opinions directly the reverse of those pol which have prodaced this gencral and enbstantial happi- ness ; and therefore it is, that I respect the strong desire that I feel that we should, on these great and cardinal subjects, approach our opponents—I will not call them enemiesor adversaries—with @ id spirit ; a spirit that requires discusion ; thet we may see that our interests are all united 4s: Webster continued at some length to defend the taritt doctrine ; aud also spoke of its impor- tance 'o the agricultural interest. He then went on to speak of the distribution of the land revennes contending at some length in favor of the measure ; and then passing on to speak of the importan: duty of tion of the credit of tne States His v ws, how ron these topics being nei’her new nor part cularly interest- ing, we prise o1 speech, which will once to the concluding portion of the jent attract universal attention.)

And now, perhaps, I ought to close, as the gentlemen who invited meto this meeting were pleased to express much approbation of my conduct in remaining in the cabinet at Washington alter my colleagues had withdrawn, I should not have alluded to that on this occasion, but forthe reference made to it by the Committee.

(Mr. Webster then resumed his seat amid loud and con. tinued cheers.) Mr. Webster closed at a quarter before three o’clock, having spoken a little over two hours. We immediately started by an express driven by Mr. Prey of Andover, and reached Boston at two minutes alter five o’clock—the distance thus rode over being upwards of 20 miles. We then, to ourastonish- ment, found that the express car on the Worcester railroad to Norwich, on which we had calculated, could not be obtained, and our arrangements for reaching New York on Friday morning, were thus defeated. We were, however, the only representa- tive of tue New York Presa, who got the concluding and most important part of Mr. Webster's great speech, one or two reporters who attended for other papers having left the ground before two o’clock. At the close of the Address, Mr. Webster was greeted with ‘three times three,” in good hearty style, which he appeared to receive with proper relish.

We give to-day a full and graphic report of the recent speech delivered by Mr. Webster to the whigs at Andover, Massachusetts. The unavoidable causes which prevented us from giving it yesterday morn- ing, are related in the report. As the matter stands, we published the entire specch in an Extra Heratp yesterday morning at an early hour, being full six hours in advance of every other paper in New York. Of the speech itself, we will have a few words to say hereafter. It is enough,at present to state that it is considered in this metropolis a complete fail- ure—a tame—spiritless, unanimated thing—and no more like Daniel Webster’s former ‘self, than Sam Peterson is like him. Of this matter, there are no better judges than the newsboys, who are both cap- ital philosophers and edmirable critics. ‘“Tom,” said a’ragged,rascal yesterday to another coming up from Wall street-—‘Tom, how sells Webster ?’— “‘Why Dick,” replied the other—“‘not atall, Web- ster’s burst up, I guess’—‘‘A gone coon,” replied the other, witha grin. And so he is. Results of the State Election—Awful defeat of the Whigs. We have ‘now received, as will be seen else- where, returns throughout the whole length of the State of New York, from Sandy Hook to Nia- gara, and the result is the greatest defeat to the Whigs which they have sustained for the last quar- ter of a century. By the admission of both party journals—whig and locofoco—it is now almost certain that the locofocos have carried every Senatorial District— an increased number of Assemblymen—and a pop- ular majority of nearly 25,000 votes. The aggregate vote taken 1s about one-third Jess than usual—pro- bably about 300,000, in a constituency of 450,000. These are singular results—and lead to still stranger conclusions. Whatare they ? First—the people "have been so disgusted with both the old parties, that about 150,000 voters have stayed away from the polls. In this city alone, this disgust had ripened into action, revolt, and re- construction. The American Republican, a new Party, sprung up in a few weeks, and came very near carrying the metropolis. What is .o prevent them, in another year, from capturing the State? Second—the result in relation to public men and meaeures, is decidedly expressive of the popular will against Clay and Webster—againat their recent co- alition—and against all their measures—bank, high tariff, distribution law, &c 11 is now favorable to Mr. Van Buren and the policy he represents, but yet not decisive.on that side of the house. His party hnve succeeded by a mere plurality vote of 25,000, but the full popular voice is yet against him by 150,- rayed against Clay, isthe strongest in New York» and this fact may give him the pre-eminence as the democratic candidate throughout the Union. Third—While this reeult has demolished the pros- pects of Clay and the whigs, it has at the same time developed a new movement, that, if prudently con- ducted, will agitate and revolutionise the State of New York, and ultimately of the whole Union—we allude to the American Republican party. But of this new movement, more another day. Resutt or THE Sea Race.—Our Yacut Squap- Ron.—We learn that the race’between the Washing- ton aud Gimcrack did not take place yesterday, but both boats made a trial of speed alone in the fog In consequence of the wind blowing pretty strongly fromE.S.E and E.,the Gimerack could not beat out to the floating light-ship, and, iheretore, did not start with the Washington. When her skipper ascer- tained this, after repeated efforts, he returned to the city. Not eo, however, with the Washington; she started and run up to Castle Garden ina little over two hours, cutting through the fog like a knife. She left the Light. Ship at. Arrived at the Bar at.......4 “opp. Fort Hamilton at. “Castle William at. And reached Castle Garden The distance from the floating light-ship to Castle Garden is twenty-eight miles, and the famous pilot- eer, therefore, dashed through the water at the rate of twelve miles an hour, including stops. She had aj“ spanking breeze,” but eaw nothing of the yacht. We understand, however, that} the Gimcrack reached the city about fifteen minutes before the Washington, having started some five or six miles this side of the light-ship, and, in consequence of this, the race may be considered no race at all. It wasno trial of speed between the two, although each had an opportunity to test her own merits. So much of the race yesterday. It is said that this is but a beginning of the races to come off between the boats belonging to the Democratic Yacht Squad- ron. Many are in contemplation. This squadron, by the way, is net organized like that of the Royal Yacht Fieet of England, the boats of which are owned by the nobility. Ours is organised all along the American coast, from Portland to New Or- leans, and is composed of two or three hundred crack boats, varying in size from:forty to one hun- dred and filty tons each. They, have no commo- dore, like the Earl of Yarborough, but are conduct- ed and managed on pure republican principles, with crackers and cheese, and an occasional glass of champaigne. They sail on an equality, and are ma- naged on an equality. Ten or eleven of thissquad- ron are stationed in this harbor, and may be seen almost any day cruising about the bay, each num- bered on its mainsail 1, 2, 3, 4,5, andsoon. These are navigated by pilote—the best n: tors in the world. i Icis the intention ‘of these democratic sailors, to have a magnificent sea iegatta between thirty or forty of vhese piloteers or yachts off Boston early next spring. This is to begin with. Two boats are to gofrom this city, and several from Philadelphia, Baltimore, &». The prize on this occasion is to be one hundred gold eagles. Who is to have them? We believe ove or both of the New York boats willtake them. No one who saw the Washington flying or skipping along the water yesterday, will doubt this. City Intelligence. Police—Saturday, Nov. 11.—A Quiet Dar.— Yester- day wosaa damp, foggy, drizzly, reiny, stormy day— the stands of applewomen were deserted—omnibusres run fall of passengers—umbrellas dnd overshoes were brought into requisition and no one stirred forth unless ceympelled by business or froma sense of duty to themselves or others. The weather was such that thiev nd rogues Jaid hid in their holes, and consequently Police officers were not in demand for service. A clearing up will change affairs, and we may aoticipate the cristomary ex- posure of roguery at the Polieeon Monday. The Coroner was alsoidle.

Itis a work tha: has sprung up from small beginnings, under Mr, Valentine’s care; and, although it hes been enlarged before, it is now still further enlarged and improved by the addition of much new mutter, and some Tare maps, one of the city of New York as it was in 1695. It contains a complete and perfect list o7 all the offices and officers,’ with their salaries, under the city government, with a!multitude of tacts and Statistics, invaluable to those who would under- stand the city of New York.

Dear Bennett:— Happy to learn of your gafe arrival, and once more at your post. 1 with great pleasure renew my notes from our iron city. Business of all kinds is uncommon’y brisk,with an excellent stage of water. The steamers are in and out in great numbers daily, so that there is no de- tention to travellers—hundreds arriving and depart- ing every day. Our smokey town is destined to be one of the first magnitude in the United States, in the way of manufactures. Iron steamboats are built here, for the lakes, cf immense size and dura- bility, and I understand that one of our builders has orders for the construction of an iron ship of the largest class that floats on the northern lakes The San.a Fee traders buy most of their merchan- dize here,which of late employs any quantity of me- chanics; in fact, with our ten large cotton factories, tremendous rolling milla, forges, nail works, an glass works, we are driving a heavy business.

He was received by the com- mittee of arrangement (appointed to superintend his reception) a committee of the Repeal Associa- tion, and a number of our citizens. They formed an escort, and conducted him to the American Ho- tel, where he dined with Commodore Elliott and other citiz Tn ihe evening, he attended, by in- vitation, the Repeal meeting held in the Assembly Buildings, where he spoke for three quarters of an hour, he afterwards visited the National Theatre, and exchanged civilities with the citizens of Ken- sington, at the Commu ‘ioner’s Hall in that district. At all the places he attended last evening, there wasa glorious reception given to the “ scar cover- ed veteran,” contrasting with the escort on his arri- val, which Iam compelled to say was the most meupre and ill gotten up affair it has been my un- happiness ever to witness. ‘The Baptist Foreign Meeting held yesterday in Sansom street, was largely attended, and the exercises were of a most interesting character. The Convention organized by the appointment of the Rev. J. H. Kennard, of thie city, Chairman ; the Rev_T. O. Lincoln, of Philadelphia, -and Rev. E. W. Dickinson, of New Jersey, acting as Secreta- ries. The afternoon services were entirely devo- tional, and were commenced by singing the hymn begiontng with ‘Glorious things of thee are spo- ken,” which was followed with prayer By the Rev. J. Aldrich, of Baltimore. Evangelical addresses were then made by Rev. Spencer H. Cone, D. D. ot New York, instead of the sermon referred to yec- terday, the crowded state of the church preventing me from then ascertaiving full particulars. Cone was followed by Rev. Messrs Teasd: r. le. of Connecticut; Milesburg, of Pennsylvania; Ben- nett, of New York; Aldrich, of Baltimore ; and Rey. Dr. Chapin, of Washington, D.C. Tn the evening the Rev. S. H. Cone, D. D., preach- ed to an immense crowd of admiring auditors. This morning the convention met at 9 o'clock, and were engaged in devotional exercises till halt past 10. Dr. Williams then read a report concerning the missionary cause which was followed by an ad- dress by Rev. E. Kincaid, Missionary to Burmah, upon the duty of the church to engage in the m sionary cause. Daring the atternoon addresses, limited to ten minutes, were delivered and are be- ing continued up tothe time I write. The exercises have been very interesting and will be concluded tis evening by a report being read by the Rev. Dr. Chapin, who will also deliver an address. On to- morrow (the Sabbath) the Rev. Clergy of the diffe- rent States will eupply eeveral of the pulpits of our oly, (Baptist) churches. The cld congregation in Spruce street, above Third, koown by their corporate title as the “ Scot’s Presbyterian. Church,” will re commence the worship of Almighty God to-morrow, with ser- mons in the morning by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Mack- lin, and in the afternoon by Rev. Dr. Engles. The ancient edifice in which this pious people offered up their devotions has a repairs and an al- most entire re-construction, from designs furnished by and under the immediate super of M. La Brun, Esq., a talented young arch of this city. The old-fashioned front, which has stood for seven- ty two years, has been superceded by a beautiful facade on Spruce street, which consists of three divisions. The centre and principal one presents a two-columned Corinthian recessed portico, between coupled pilasters, with panneled wings on each side, terminated by pilasters ‘The entrance ie from the portico intoa vestibule leading to the body of the church and to galleries by flights of steps at each end. The interior of the church presents a very chaste appearance conforming in character with the exterior The congregation, which has of late years been known as the “* Eighth Presbyterian Church,” has decided to resume its ancient name, the Seot’s Presbyterian Church ia the city of Paila- delphia, by which name it was chartered by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, in the year 1779,duriog the war of the revolution. I will fe you in my next a brief but interesting history of the churchand congregation, which want of space and time now jorbid. A course of religious exercises, according to the method and spirit of Saint Ignatius ot Loyala, ora Spiritual Retreat forthe Laity of this City, will com- mence to-morrow at Sant Joseph’s Church, and end on the following Sunday. The exercises of the Retreat will be conducted by the Reverend Father McElroy, ef the Society of Jesus —the nature, ad- vantages and regulations of which will be explained atthe masses and vespers. Additional confessors willbe in attendance during the eight days of the retreat, some ot whom will devote themselves en- urely to males who have but jimited time to spare. _ The ordinance of christian baptism wi!l be aomin- istered by the Rev.
