The result wasa determinatoin to proceed at all hazards with the new movement at the head of which Mr. Webster has at lust openly pliced himself, by his declaration on Boston C mmon, on the 19h ivstant. A few days p viously a meeting «f the General Commitice was summoned, aad after a great deal of cousulta- toa, it was resulved to cali a public meeting to which the sbolitioniste would be especia'ly invited, and the determination of the committee to foilow uy this movement with all possible energy and per- eeveranes, was formally made.

JH Homant Haws Jovern P Prnssow us singular call affords the best possible de- monstration of the erttical position into which the whig party has been reduced by the ignorance, fol- ly and obstinacy of its leaders here at the nerth, aud diseovers in a very intelligible manner the alarm which pervades their ranks. The appeal is made directly to the abolitienisrs—the **democra- tic whigelectors, and all others opposed to the an- nexation of Texas,” being the term of the invita- tion to attend thismeeting, Whatan extraordina- ry spectacle is thus presented ut this moment inthe ranks of the whig party? Mr. Clay, the candidate of the party, stands before the Union, ‘personally in favor of annexation,” whilst the great mass of hisadherents and supporters at the north are get- tiog vp immense mass meetings, to which the abo- liionists are specially and affectionately invited, and which are addressed by orators who asgail with every possible epithet of abuse and com demoation all who dare to raise their voice in favor of Such glaring disunion is, of course, producing its appropriate results, Pa- nic and gloomiest torebodings are every whrre 8 reading inthe whig ranks whilst the abolition- jsts ,sparning with characteristic and fanatical in- digaation the efforts made to conciliate them, are loadiog the name of Henry Clay wih anathemas, and in all quarters are exhibiting a degree o| energy and force at which even they themselves are astonish: d. As we have again and again ineisted, the cause of Mr. ( lay has been brought to the very verge of ruin by the indiscreet, obstinate, and suicidal { Secretaries annexation. course adopted by his adherents at the North. The agitation of the quesuon of slave- ry by John Quincey Adams and others in Congress, and the adojtion of the same policy by their followers amongst the whigs throughout the free States~lave, for the Inet few years, been add- ing so immensely to the numbers and determina- tiou of the abolitionists, t that fanan have swollen from a petty faction into a ex formidat and influential organization, capable, as we have seen, of swaying State elections, and covering with overwhelming defeatthat very politi- cal party which has been so earnestly and perse- veringly wooing them to its embraces, and, like Many other wooers, Whose warmth and patience deserved beter reward, only to its own undoing We foresaw from the commencement of the present campaign, the fatal results to which the policy of of Mr. Clay, in Again and the professed advocates and friea ih , would inevitably lead warned the whigs of the coming tree States egaia, we ha stor f whose wroaca the horizon was filled wih so many dark and threatening omens. But the warning passed unheeded. There were, io deed, here and there, a few imeltigent, reflecting and observant men in the whig ranks who were aware of the danger. They endeavored to avert it. But their voices were drowned jn the loud shoutings of the foolish, the fanatical, the thought Jess aud the designing. The fatal movement wen) ou, and the whig party have now reached the very crisisof their tate. Just let us look, for a moment, et the extraordi nary position into which the whig party have been breaght by Mr. Webster and his fellow-laborers in the whig cause. Oa the 27 of July last, Mr Ciay ced a letter to a number of his friends, who had desired, amongst olher matters, an e€x- pression of bis opinioa on the subject of the as nexat of Texas What did Mr. Clay ther declare In the most ported and emphatic terme he announecd his triendly disposition with respec, Tt) (hat measure, and that the question of slavery had nowuog whatever to do with that question. Bat lec us quote his own words, which have acquire ed so much additional interest from a source hard- Jy anticipated by many :— Bur, gentlemen, you are desirous of knowing by what policy | would be guiled, in the event of my election ue Chtol Mogistrate of the Caited States, in relerence to the questiun of the wvnexauion of Jexas. 1 do not think it gat fo unnounce in advance What will be the course of a fuure @uniuistration in resect to a question with » loreign power.

Mr, Clay,in that manly, frank, candid anc honorable manner, which geverally characteriger his declarations, informs his inquiring friends, anc through them, the people ot the United Siates, the: bo far as his own individual sentiments, feelings, and deliberately formed opinions are concerned he isin favor of the ansexanon of Texas—nay that he would rejoice to see that measure adoptec dt 16 utterly Imposstole to give any other interpre tation to the Iinguage just quoted trom Mr. Clay’ letter of the 20h of July. There it etanda, anc mast ¢lau itrevoked by its author, a distinc, clear and emphatic declaration in favor of the av nexation of Texas. and, besides, itis most im portant to mark the equally distiact aud emphauic negation by Mr. Clay of the connexion in any piape or form, of the rlavery question with thet ot Texas. In that one sentence, the great waig leader stamps, with merited contempt, ali the deelamation and rhetorical flourish par forth by silly whig orators and spoulers, | quoted, Mr. Clay expresses oaly the sentiments‘and | army is complete. and enables us to estigiate with great precision the | Mr. Webster, himself, to make the anti-slavery | Quti-Texas question the great issue in the present contest. And in this letter, from which we have opinions, which were presented by him ia the let- ter to hia friends intended for publication in the National Intelligencer on his nomination by the Baltimote Convention, but which was returned to him with a request to modify the passages relative to Texas. Let us now turn to the speech of Mr. Webster on Boston Common, which we give at length on the first page of this day’s paper. We there fiad Mr. Webster affirming that Mr. Clay is pledged to go against Texas, and that Mr. Clay holds as he, Mr. Webster holds “ unquestionably, that the an- nexation of Texas does tend, and will tend, and must tend to the existence and perpetuation of Afri- can slavery, and the tyranny of race over race on | this continent, and, therefore, he will not go for it.” | And Mr. Webster goes on to argue against anuex | ation, chiefly on the ground of ite being equivalent | to a perpetuation of slavery—employing the very “Tey anu att Staves in verany.”—We ts ba <1) A — ¥ ORK HE RALD. | value which he, Mr. Olay, puts upon the efforts of | have been nota little amused by the highly lauda tory remarks which have accompanied, in the whig journais, the report of that portion of Mr- Webster's last speech, where he so indignantly pounced upon one of the-audience who called out, “They are all slaves in England!” Mr. Web- ster’s rhetorical flourish about English liberty, and the blessed condition of the masses in that coun- try, is extolled to the skies, and his sentiments most cordially re-echoed by prints which are inthe habit of pouring forth the bitterest anathemas against “ British tyranny,” the influence of “ Bri- tish gold,” and so on. But that is of small mo- ment. It is more important to notice the inconsis- tency into which Mr. Webster himself falls. In the paragraph just alluded to, as eliciting the most enthusiastic applause of the auaience and the whig journals, Mr. Webster represents England as asort of paradise—a perfect heaven of liberty and equality | —hardly second, if second at all, to this country. for the means of individual happiness and pros- verity, which it affords to all its inhabitante. By and by, when he comes to speak of the condition of the English laborer, he draws the picture of a | “slave.” There, in that glorious land of liberty, argument which Mr. Clay had so pvintedly con- demoed aud reprobated as inappropriate and inap- plicable, and that, too, against a measure the adop- tion of which Mr. Clay had said he “should be glad to see.” Now, what does all this mean ? Its meau- ing is, we think, very easily discovered. Mr Web- ster is only prosecuting bis original policy. He re- fers significantly and proudly to the position he has maintained for “ seven years” on this subject. He has no idea of moving one hair’s-breadth, el- though the fortunes of ir. Clay should be involved | in destruction. There he, Daniel Webster, stands, and from that position he commences the move- | m-nt for the succession 1n 1848. This is the mean- jug ol this extraordinary speech—which is endorsed in the manifesto or address issued oa the same oc- | casion, and which will also be found on our first pige. ‘Thus early, does Mr, Webster commence hs pesition to Me Clay, and the division in the whig Meanwhile the panic spreads. The abolitionists | denounciog Mr Clay as ‘‘an incorrigible robber and tyrant,” are working with almost superhuman activity. Their vote in this State will be enor- mously increased at the next election. We have seen how it has swollen in Maine So also it will be in this, and all the other free States. Already | where Mr. Webster had, but a moment before, so | indignantly denied that slaves existed, he declares | that “the laborer is a degraded being, and not ele- | vated to the rank of a freeman. He has no parti- cipation in the government under which he lives— he is a mere laborer; he lays up nothing beyond the support of his family for the day; he has no means of educating his children; he lives poor, | and dies poor, and his children come after him with the same biography.’ ‘Look on this picture | and on that.’” Mr. Webster’s high-flown eulogy on England | sounds strangely enough coming from the lips of | an American, The mao in the crowd spoke a sad truth, when he declared that ‘* they”—the masses | —*are all slaves in England.” Weighed down to the very earth by oppression and unequal laws, the poorer classes of that country are in a condition, compared with which that of the slaves of the south is perfect happiness. Just as a epecimen of the sufferings of the masses in Great Britain—take the following heart-rending incident, which we find in @ late English paper—presenting only one solitary item in the daily record of misery and privation to which the great body of ‘* the people” are subjected :— the wealthy whigs are drawing their purse-strings, and the canvass is all but abandoned to the violent, the fanatical, the office-seckers, the Webster men, aod the Fourierites Thus has a brilliant prospect been obscured. For at one period in this cam- paign, Mr. Clay’s chances did, indeed, appear most promising. And had the canvass for him been conducted in the free States with discretion, judg- ment, and sincerity, his defeat would have been difficult—perhaps impossible to accomplish. Now, however, the scene is certainly changed, sadly for th» worse. This last eflort of Mr. Webster inust ine evitubly increase the lukewarmness, the oppressive and disheartening sense of disunion, the uncertain- ty and alarm which had before, unfortunately, | begun to be manifested in the whig ranks What may be done to avert the calamity now threatened | ia so many quarters, we kuow not. We shall | y : Ss : ed that ¢ hirte, but await with a great deal of curiosity and anxiety, | The father stated that | they worked \at-stop sites) bu the proceedicgs at the mass meeting on Thursday ' next. Whatit is contemplated to do on that occa- sion, we have not yet distinctly learned. But whatever form the movement may assume, then, it will ivfluence, to agreat extent, the general pro- | gress of the remainder of the campaign through-. outthe north. One thing, at all events, is certain, we are now in the midst of the very crisis of the eoatest, and the tortunes of Henry Clay are wem- bling in the balance. Tue Panic. —The whig papersare full of all sorte of 1allying cries, Our repeated declarations ot the necessity of bringing out the full strength of the whigs at the polls, appear to be producing some ef- fect. As specimens of the tone adopted by the whig organs throughout the country, and in order to il- justrate the alarm which pervades the ranks of that party, we annex two rallying cries, the ove from a Maine paper and the other from one of the lead- ing whig jouraals of this city :— [Feom the Portland (Me.)

On that day the shenff, Mr. E Foley, with an escort of police und bai'ils, proceeded to the Jands of Bally harahan and Glenmore, the property of Mr Authur Usher Kelley, of Ballysagartmore, in this county, to take possession of these lands under habras for one year’s rent, due last September.

Are there indeed ‘10 slaves in England?” Ayorner Letrer rrom Mr. Cray —Mr. Clay | does seem determined to keep up his epistolary correspondence with his friends in all quarters. His last letter is devoted to the consideration of the merits of American kid gloves. Some worthy mavutacturer or other had sent Mr. Clay a dozen, which ‘ Mrs. Clay” pronounced ‘a very superior article;’ and Mr. Clay intorms ws that ‘“‘they appear to possess great sirength as well as neatness ;” and that he and his ami- able lady ‘‘were much struck with the beauty and excellence of the stitching.” This is all very well. Mr. Clay has not, however, yet taken up any of the interesting topics of enquiry suggested by usa short time ugo. Since then, indeed, seve- ral new subjects have presented themselves—such as—the value of political friendshi), as demon- strated on Boston Common—which may probably now engrose Mr. Clay’s attention, to the exclusion of the less exciting questions which we submiued. Mr Henry Pauiuirs’ First Musicat E vatnment —Mr. Pnillips gives his first musical en- tertainment at the Apollo this evening, where he willbe, asa matter of course, welcomed by one of the largest and most brilliant audiences ever collected in this city. The entertainment will con- sist of two acts,the first being devoted to anecdote, ise ences, and songs of Dibdin. Mr. Phillips is probably the only living vocalist who can do ad- equate justice to the incomparable sea-songs ot Dib- din. Braham, in his palmy days, sung some of these immortal ballads with surpessing effect; but Mr. Phillips gives them with a pathos, spirit and bril- lianey quite indescribable and altogether ine- ristible. The second act will include a variety of sougs which are quite new to an American audi- amongst them one by Dryden, which introdaccu him to the notice of the Court, and pived the way to his sabsequent brilliant career. This, as sung by Mr. Phillips, is one of the most exciting songs ever listened to.

Already a large number of sub- seribers, from amongst the fashionable and opulent classes, have entered their names, and we have no doubt that the list will be quite full before the sea- son opens. Madame Pico, the new prima donna, will, there. is every reason to anticipate, be a very great favorite. Fler voice is a mezzo-soprano of very great power and sweetness, and her method is very excellent, the result of careful study under the best masters.

Broogryn, Sept. 21, 1844 It is understood that the United States revenue steamers “Spencer” and ‘*Legaré”—the former on Lieutenant Hunter's, and the latter on Captain Lrriesson’s plan, will sail on Tuesday, to make a trial of speed from this city to Boston and return- ing. ‘The trial will be made under sail and steam combined, and each power separately. Great in- terest is felt by the commercial community in the result, as this is the first opportunity which has been afforded to test the relative merits of the two plans. Both vessels are of the same tonnage, spread an equal surface of canvass, have the sume power, and differ only in the model of the hull, and mode ot propulsion, both ot which have been left en- i ly under the control of the projectors of the Ans. - The “ Spencer” will be commanded fir: Captain Frazer, and the “ Legaré” by Captain Howard ; and 1n order to prevent forestalling public opinion, it has been determined to allow no person to be on board during this trial trip, except those in the employ of the government 3 After the trial trip is made, and an official report shall have been rendered by the proper officers, an opportunity will be ufforded to the commercial community, aud ali who feel an interest in such walters, to witness their performance. : .

Several which have ap- peared in the public prints lately, relaung to offi- cersof the revenue service, can only find paraliel> in the advertisements of modern charlatans. It Inust appear evident to every reasonable man, that officers who require this kind of bolstering, must have but litte real merit of their own, Should an officer perform any meritorious service, it is due not only to himself but to the government which gmalors him, that notice should be taken of it, but ihe puffs alluded to are calculated to humiliate the service generally, and to cause the officer of real merit to blush for the weakness and vanity of his avsvciates. Buurr. Great Foorrace over rue Beacon Course, Ho- woken —Io our advertising columns will be found the names of 36 persons who have entered for this great undertaking to come off on the 14tb of Octo- ber. It may be considered as a national contest, as some of the ablest pedestrians of the old coun- try have crossed the Atlantic for the express pur- pose of contending with the best of this country. The number entered is far beyond what was ex- peeted, and there is little doubt but that the con- test will create great excitement, and the attend- ance on the occasion will be immense—much greater than on any former similar occurrence. Major H. Stannard is the general favorite go far, but as there are several others entered whose prowess is highly spoken of, there is every reason to believe that he will not have such easy work as he has hitherto had if he does come off the con- queror. The betting already is pretty brisk, the field the favorite. Some thousands, no doubt, will change hands on the occasion. Coreman’s Patenr /Eoutan (on Oraan) AT TACHMENT TO THE Pianororte.—We have been favored with an inspection of the contrivance de- signed for the purpose of converting a piano into anorgan, and vice verst, at pleasure, entitled by thetpatentee, “The /Evlian, or Attachment to the Pianoforte, now on exhibition at Nuau’s Music Store, Broadway. It is certainly a very ingenious coatrivance, and one that will meet with universal admiration and adoption. For simplicity of con. struction and beauty of adaptation, it certainly is unrivalled, and we have no doubt of its being adopted into general use. Every piano in the country at a very trifling expense, may be changed into an organ, producing the most brilliant and ea- qgaisite tones, without eff-cting in the least degree its original character. This is a great desidera- tum, and will contribute more to the essential in- terest of the pupil in music than 81x moath’s ordi- nary tuition on the piano. And in a short time we shall see the public mind seizing upon its merits with an avidity which shall astonish as well as prove the estimation in wkich the invention is held.

The modus operandi was this:-Conceve cast iron plates are prepared, tha foundation ef the wall cut away, aud two plates facing each ot ins:rted wath cannon halle between them. ‘These plates and bails being placed under all the walls, the whole baling rests upon them. ‘Three screws are applied, and the whole building is rol- led upon them any desired distance. These piatesand balls are removed one by one, and the brick replaced and the building left in the inal state, without any injury to the structure. It is estimated that this block weighed 700 tons, and was rolled on 120 balls, and accomplished, after the plates were set, in about two hours time.

In some cases the crow has been destroyed while in the ground, and in others aiter they have been dug and placed in the cellar The Claremont, N H.
