Our readers will find in another part of this day's paper a full report of the very large and en- thusiastic mass meeting, which was held at Castle Garden, last evening, by the friends of the Union, irrespective of party distinction.” It was one of the largest assemblages that was ever held in this city, and the enthusiasm which marked the proceedings was greatindeed. When- ever the Union was referred to—whenever the speakers eulogized it, and insisted on its mainte- anee in all its integrity, shouts of applause followed, that fairly made the welkin ring. The Garden was filled to its utmost capacity. There were from eight to ten thousgnd whigs and democrats gathered together, and mingling in one body, in favor of the Union, “ one and inseparable.” We are rejoiced that New York has at length raised her voice in denunciation of the attempts now being made by fanatics to jeopardize the safety of this great confederacy of republics. We rejoice that this great metropolis has sounded the alarm, and has, in a voice of thunder, denounced the ultras and abstractionists who have, for so long a time, kept the two sections of the Union in hostility to each other, and produced the lament- able and deplorable state of things which is now exhibited in Congress, and in the several State Legislatures. We rejoice that that gigantic hambug —that profound abstraction—that political fallaey— that-wicked instrument in the hands of wicked men, the Wilmet Proviso, has been put down, as 4t deserved, and that the commercial metropolis of the new world has been the first city in the United States to proclaim, in tones that will carry ter- ror into the hearts of the fanatics, that the great and glorious fubric of government, under the be- neficence and protection of which we have, in such a short time, bounded from infancy to the manhood of a giant—under which, within such a compara- tively short period, we have been transformed from a few colonists into the first nation of the world, in arte, agriculture, and commerce—shall be preserved inviolate, and that she will be ever ready, and ever foremost, to strike to the earth the arm that may be uplifted to destroy it. It was full time that New York should express her sentiments on this all-im- portant end vital subject. We had suffered cant, and radicalism, and abolitionism, and socialism, and aggrarianism, to prate and to rant long enough. This meeting was called for the purpose of ad. vocating a compromise of the slavery question, on the besis of Mr. Clay’s resolutions ; but there will be another compromise, of equal importance, and entitled to great weight, which will soon be intro duced into the Senate, at Washington. We refer to the bill which Mr. Webster has been maturing for some days past, and which he will lay before that body in a very short me, being the same on which we have already spoken at some length. If Mr. Webster succeed in settling this agitated question, and in averting the crisis in which the country is now placed, he will become the most popular man in the country. His compromise, emanating from a representative of Massachu- setts—from one of the extreme Northern States— will carry great weight in the South, and, if it be accepted and acted upon, and the Union pre- served by it, Mr. Webster will succeed to all the popularity which Mr. Calhoun has for so | long a time enjoyed in the Southern States, and it will make hima prominent candidate for the Presidency in 1852. Ia fact, it will put him an the front rank, and deservedly so. The South will be gratified and grateful for his compromise, for that section of the country will support the | Union as long, a8 it can be done consistently with due regard to their own interests and honor, On the whole, we think we see a rainbow in the heavens, and are beginning to have more hope. New York hes spoken, in a voice that cannot be misunderstood. Her interests, as a commercial city, demanded of her that she should take the position which she did at the great and enthu- smstic meeting, last night, She has more at stake, in supporting the Union, thenany other city. Lier interests a commer- cial city, as the great focus of trade inthe new world, are intimately connected with the contias wance of the Union—wit! she maintains her | present position, and with ita fall, she would fall. As for Mr. We r, if he be euceessful in setthng this question of slavery in a compromising way, he will achieve great glory, and entitle himself to the thanks and gratitude of whole country. If fuch should be the result of hie compromise, he will, os we have alrea said, stand the best chance for the Presidency, at the next election, that we know e!

There are stirring scenes in Congras. There was an important debate to-day on Mr, Foete’s motion for a committee of thirteen to arrange the “vexed ques tion.” It Indicates Mr. Webster as chairman, and in- cludes his compromise. The movement of Mr. Web- ster to settle the slavery question, is attracting the attention of every one here. It will command the at- tention of the whole country. Since Saturday, Senators Downs, Badger, Berrien, Dawson, Mangum, Foote, Bell, and others, all from th South, have called at Mr. Webster's house, and cat away satisfied with the new plan. On the other side, Senator Corwin is said to be with the Senator from Maseachusetts. All eyes are turned te Mr. Webster; expectation and confidence are high It is clear that Mr. Foote urged the committee for fear of some terrible event if delayed another week. It is feared that if Mr. Doty’s California resolution is pressed in the House next Monday, there will be a bloody scene and a breaking up. There is a duel pending between Col. Bissell, of Illi- nois,and Col. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, for the remarks of the former in the House in regard te the battle of Buena Vista. Both are good shots, and, un. less stopped, both may be killed. Strong efforts are making to reconcile the parties. Mr. Albert G. Brown, of Missiseippi, is in the affair, The city is alive with strangers. All New York isin town, There isa great excitement among all classes, We are just upon the turning point.

Numerous memorials were presented and referred. * EXPLANATIONS BETWEEN MESSRS, KENTON AND CLEMENS. After reception of reports, Mr. Bentox arose, and read from the report of last Thursday's debate, in which Mr. Cursens, after allading to the apparent Srateruizing of Messrs. Ciay and Bewrox, remarked that he, therefore, thought that the South was menaced with danger. In relation to this last expression, Mr. Bunton reluctantly designed te mal few remarks, Mr. Cremens eaid he did not revise his report, and that if he bad, he should have expressed morejelearly the idea that he designed to present—which was, that both the Senators seemed ready to admit California, "nd that that measure weuld be dangerous to the South. Mr. Benton said the explanation rendered remarks by bim unnecestary, as the objectionablesentence was thus modified. MA, FOOTE'S RESOLUTION TO reTADLISH GOVERNMENTS. On motion of Mr. Foorm, the Seuate tonk up his resolution, providing that it is the duty of Congress, at its present session, to establish Territorial govern- mente for California, Deseret, and New Mexico. He said bis design was to move that the resolution be referred to & committee of thirteen, who shall take under consideration the whole territorial and slavery uestion .

Mr. Turney having concluded, Mr Hair moved to amend Mr. F oote’s resolution. by the addition of a provision, that the people of the ter- ritories shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges recoguited by the ordinance of ‘87.
