Webster's Great Speech and its Effects. ‘We give on the outside of this morning’s Herald a full report of Mr. Webster's speech in the Senate on Thursday last. The effect produced upon the community, by even the telegraphic synopsis of this great speech, has only been equalled by that which was caused by the remarkable manifestoof Mr. Calhoun. Both those great statesmen, those master-spirits of their age, have produced a sensation, similar to that which we sometimes see in the maternal world, by two immense, terrible, and unchangeable | streams of electricity, the one positive and the other negative, meeting in midheaven. The boldness, the daring, the force, the clearness, which characterized the speech of Mr. Calhoun, the great Southern statesman, were not greater, more powerful, or more effectual, than the same | characteristics which mark the harrangue of Mr. x ‘Webster, the great statesman of the East.

The issourl line of compromise may not be the prin- | cipal or practical feature of this restoration of | harmony ; but the priaciple of equdibrium between the Northern and Southern elements of our politi- cal system, as it will probably be developed by furore movements of committees, may take the thape of positive lelgislatien. | There is yet much work to be done by both | Mr. Webster and Mr. Calhoun, and other great ttatesmen in both houses of Congress; but without the eid end assistance of the true friends of the | Umon here and elsewhere in the North, without | regard to party divisi it 18 impossible to bring about that compromise for the preservation of the Union which we expect.

Mr. Foote’s Compromise Committee, The Effect of Mr, Webster's Great Speech. _ &c. &e. &e. ns Telegraphic Summary. Our accounts from Washington, by telegraph, are extremely interesting. As will be seen by out special correspondence below, Mr. Webster's speech forms the principal topic of conversation among all parties in the capital; and the sensi- ble and conciliatory sentiments which he express- ed on Thuraday last, in his place in the Senate, meet the views of the moderate men of all parties. The slavery question is iow rapidly approaching a cnsis. Mr. Bell’s compromise, of which Mr. ‘Webster’s speech was the prelude, will be referred to a committee-of thirteen, on Monday next, on motion of Mr. Foote, and in all probability that committee will agree ona settlement of that-vexed matter, that will meet the views of the moderates of all parties. Of course, Mr. Webster’s position will create a terrible rumpus among the Seward fanatics 1n Congress, as well as among the free- soilers; but this he must expect, as a matter of couree. It will take some time yet, however, to settle this important matter ; and, as will be seen by our special despatch, the next presidency is getting mixed up with it. This is the explanation of the passage of words the other day between Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Foote. Mr. Buchanan, of Pennsylvamia, is looked upon as the Southern de- mocratic candidate, and Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Webster going together on the slavery question, interferes with the movemeat and Mr. Buchanan’s prospects. The difficulty between Mr. Staaley and Mr. Hilhard may be interpreted in the same way, but that smounts to nothing of consequence; it only shows the undercurrent of the waters. In all probability, according to the best informa- tion which we have received, the days of the pre- sent cabinet are numbered. General Taylor has at length found out that he was unfortunate in his selection of constitutional advisers, and that the sooner he sends them adrift and re-organizes his cabinet, the better it will be for his admunistration, On the whole, we think the horizon ia getting clear, and that the slavery question will soon be satisfactorily disposed of. When that is done, and anew cabimet formed, General Taylor and his ad- ministration will have plain sailing until the year 1852. ‘The Latest from Washington. OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Wasnincrox, March 8, 1850, Mr. Webster's great speech on the slavery question, is the principal topic of conversation here, among all cir- cles, in Congress and out of it, among politicians of all Parties, as well as among our citizens, In fact, it takes like wild fire. Moderate m of all parties say it is Just the thing. Mr. Clay is among the many that are charmed with the sentiments which the expounder of the constitution expressed on Thursday last. Seward, and others of that ilk, of course, do not like them, and they apper to be quite chop-fallen, in comsequence. On Monday next, Mr. Foote will move thet Mr, Bell's compromise be referred to a committee of thir- teen. The following named gentlemen sre mentioned as the committee, vis , Messrs. Clay, Webster, Phelps, Ceoper, Cass, Dickinson, Butler, Mangum, Dodge, Ma- son, Soulé, Bell and Berrien; Mr. Clay to be chairman. Mr. Webster's great speech was only the prelude to Mr. Bell’s compromise, and there is no doubt entertained that that plan will be agreed upon ase basis for the Settlement of the anti slavery agitation in a manner satisfactory to all parties. The Southern members are satisfied with it, and look upon Mr. Webster's speech as an earnest that it will receive the suppert of the North. General Cass, it is expected, will advocate it; so will Mr. Clay; and & conviction ie entertained that it will be successful im restoring harmony between the two sections of the country. As scon as the slavery question is settled, there will, in all probability, as 1 have before informed you, be a complete reconstruction of thecabinet. This is pretty well understood by members of Congress, and especially by jthe whigs, who will suggest the Becessity of sach &® movement to General Taylor. The President will, in all probability, accede to it, and reorganize his cablaet accordingly. He is beginning te be convineed that the preeent cabinet is unpopular—that it has not the eonfi- dence of any party in either house, and that, instead of supporting his administration, it is weakening it, and bringing it into discredit. If such a change shouid take Place, after the settlement of the slavery question, there ia ne doubt that Mr. Webster and Mr. Calhoun, and their friends, will exercise great influence in selecting their successors. Until these subjects are disposed of, there will be no action, by the Senate, on the numerous nominations before that body. This is the secret of their inaction. They have agreed on the policy of do- ing nothing with them until the slavery question be set at rest and the cabinet sent adrift. Many of those nominations are eo obnoxious, thet rather than refuse to confirm them, they will wait until the ne inet ts postmasters will be withdra: jcceptable men nominated In their stead. The subject of the next Presidency is taiked of a g70d desi here,in connection with the settlement of the slavery question; and, since Mr. Webster's speech, that gentleman has been referred to as likely to succeed the Present incumbent. Mr. Webster's ideas om the pre- | sent crisis are very acceptable to the South; and, as | there is every probability of Mr. Catho retiring from public life at an early day, bis friends in the Scuth would support Mr. Webster for the sueocesston. In tuch case, and in the event of the slavery question being eettied in the way | have indicated, there will probably be no convention nominations, but the mext contert will be ascrub-race, and the Nashville Conven- tion will terminate in a recommendation of some can- Gidate for that office. Such are the views here on tais subject. mm. charge to ¥ will, undoubtedly, be co FIRST SESSION. Benates Wisnivaros, Maroh 8, 1850. A PRIVILEGED QUESSION.
