A pal pobliched an the New Redford district of the ancient aad vear- table commonwealth of Maseachusetts, has dia covered that all the difficulties in Congress, the great error committed by Mr. Webster in his new 1 osition, and the probable chances of a compromise the slavery question, have arieea from the atros cious, the detestable, the infamous, the terrible eharacter of a certain journal published in New York, “of a large circulation, but of no iafaence,” es they eay, whch is called the New York Herald All the copfomen which 1 thrown into the politics of New Cogiead, and the revolution which Senate, is stronger than | | enly knuckles tap | ern New York executes. threatens them, growing out of the position which Mr. Webster has assumed, as well as from Mr. Seward’s uncompromising course—all are alleged to spring from the proprietor, the editor, the writ- ers, the correspondents, and the general course of the New York Herald for many months past. This bitter and terrible denunciation of the New York Herald, comes, we believe, from the organ of Mr. Jo Grinnell, member of Congress from the cod- fish district ot Massachusetts, and who is likewise the leader of the codfish aristocracy of that State. Undoubtedly this movement, partially against Mr. Webster, but attributing all the prospects of a de- testable compromise in Washington to the influe ence of the Herald, is intended by Mr. Jo Grinnell to prepare the way for him to reach the seat in the Senate of the United States which, will be vacant in a short time, and which will have to be filled by the next Legislature of Massachusetts. Such, as faras we have time or room at this moment to observe, is a brief view of the exceed- mgly ludicrous and contradictory position of the whig press of New York and New England, in relation to the opposite and irreconcileable stands taken by Mr. Webster and Mr. Seward respec. tively, in the Senate of the United States, on the slavery question. The whig journals of this city, and elsewhere in the North, have been in a similar perplexity, with some few ‘exceptions. it is Tweedledum and Tweedledee over again. The pric- cipal part of the difficulty and confusion is, how- ever, attributed to that terrible journal published in New York, called the New York Herald, which has a prodigious circulation, and an immense list of editors and correspondents. The organ of the Hon. Jo Grinnell, now member of Congress, and chief of the codfish district of Massachusetts, a candidate for the U d States Senate by the next Massachusetts Legislature, has made this dis- covery, and, we suppose, by adopting and circu- lating it all over New England, he is preparing for the great contest and fermentation which are ap- proaching there among the different parties and men. In the meantime, we trust that the leading men in Congress, who have, with the little aid of our influence and power, been brought within sight of a settlement of the slavery question, will come together as soon as possible, arrange the form of the settlement, and take, as soon as pos- sible, trom those malcontents and ultras in New York and New England, the only material on which they can live for anot!r year or two. Emerson’s Queer Mc I —We have already present of t rious vagaries of Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson, and have more reports of his extraordinary read- s im type, one of which will be found in other column. To understand how the man has ome up to his present position as an insane sanity, we must look a little into his history, and discover | how the outward has operated upon him. Ralph was a clever boy in college—went through | his tasks, at Harvard, plainly, practically, and with credit, and came out a neck ahead of his fellows. This was about eighteen years agog Unitariamism seized him between the shoulders, and took his head and heart by storm. He fol- lowed as a disciple of Channing, in those footsteps that Priestley had left on the éands of time and theology, and was soon recognised in the college atmosphere as one of the planets of Platonism and piety. His whole taith was grounded on a unit—a grand convenience for divisions and fractions of ideas—and in his phi-beta-kappa oration, the little clique of New England literatewrs found the evi- dences of his future greatness. A god of a new literature was wanted, and Emerson was set up for adoration. Homage commenced. Around his shrine, situated in a village of Massachusetts, willing apostles bent dowa their ears to the oracle. Heterodox unitarianism had not yet appeared, but LICHe wae sewn fee ity eek Die Otrmumung os taoy speech, made at Worcester, in which was ex- preesed some confidence in the divinity of the Saviour, broke away all barriers to aspiring am, bition, till candidates for the shoes of the father of unitananism in New England started up on every side. About this time Carlyle’s “French Revolution” —a kind of opium vision of historical events, blend- ed with moonshine, cigar smoke and guillotines,— broke upon the view of Emerson and of the thou- | Sand imitators of the tory pages of Blackwood and | Fraser. The magazines had laid a train for a grand sortie upon everything practical and shaped | to common sense, and dreaming students were ready to throw aside the essays of Montaigne, Bur- | ton’s Anatomy, Felitham’s Resolves, Brown’s Ura | Burial, and kindred fountains of curious lore, to suck with their long and short straws the new ci- der ground out of the golden apples, which had been squeezed inthe press of the Germanico-English historian, There wasa pause while the Carlyle Juice was taken in, but it was soon evident that many had become intoxicated, reeling, staggering drunk, with the modern Falernian. Emerson con- tracted, after copious draughts, a serious disease in his mental epidermis. He broke out over head and ears in little romanzas and sonnets, and com. municated this literary itch to his neighbors, who | ecratched away atan awful rate. [t was with no | eficct that the Calvinists recommended brim- | stone for the malady. It could not be rubbed in atany rate. The disease, consequently, took its course. Finally, Emerson appled alteratives, and with a free applicatioa of the German leeches of literature, taken from the stagnant pools of Leip- sic and transferred to the “well of Eaghsh unde- filed,” he succeeded in giving the disease a reliable diegnosis. apervened upon the peetieal carbune Il there was fancifal matter enough—pus enough to show that the disease had only slightly changed in its type. “The Dial” ex- | hibited, tor months, the general itching, and those | who controlled it scratched away as before, till | they died out. Meanwhile, Emerson travelled | throogh the towns of New England, infecting every | district. The disease wae confined neither to age nor sex. Doys in colleges were almost swept away | by it. Young ladies in seminaries almost swooned and died away with it; and at every renewal of | the vaccine virus, in the shape of “Essays,” the disease is found to break out with astonishing vira- Jenee. Emerson's visit to England resulted in no fuch evil consequences. The climate and regimea of the people preserved them. New York is now to be subjected to the influence, and it remains to be even with what results. in the broader view of this subject, we cannot , but see that New England and Western New York are rivals in these queer transcendental and secial- | ist developements. New England dreams out all kinds of curiosities in politics, theology, morals and manners. New York gives these alocal habi- | tation and aname. New England dreams of heav- on vibrations of the atmos phere. Western New York gives us the sounds thereof and interprets the language of the supern: ural telegraph. New England draws all the es- sence from the smoke of German literary pipes, and ely with the Cochituates of Yew York con- Poughkeepsie, under the garments of Matthias, ond in the temple of Jo. Smith, the Mormon. New England designs after the most appreved German patterns—West- New England contains the capitahets—Western New York the mannfac- tories; and no one can doubt that with these enterpricing sections fully at work, aided by the euriovely twieted knot of socialists, deists, and what not, in this city, we shall be able to Much more emusement than Emerson’ are likely to afford.

Telegraphic Summary, Our readers will find in our telegraphic corres— pondence to-day, intelligence from almost every’ part of the country, but that which will most un- terest them is the sad news concerning Mr. Cal-- houn’s health. It will be seen that Mr. Calhoun’e physicians look for hig dissolution very s00n. We should wieh that the distinguished South Caroli-. men would be spared, but we fear that his time has come, and that the Senate will never again hear his voice. He is low, exceedingly low, and there~ is no ue in d sguising it from our readers. The House of Representatives was not in ses- sion yesterday, and but little was done in the Senate. In the latter house, Mr. Trumaa Smith occupied the day in the delectable occupation of white-washing the cabinet, and defending it, through General Tuylor, of the charge of proscrip- tion. It willbe seen from our telegraphic corres- pondence from Washington, that he is net yet done. He threatens the Senate with the infliction of the remainder of his remarks in writing. We hope the Senate will have patience to listen to him. ‘The Latest from Washingten,. OUR SYECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Wasnixctox, March 28, 1850. Mr. Truman Smith, efter speaking three mortal heures: on Thursday Jast and five to-day, in defence of the charge of proscription, says he will write out the ba- lance of his remarxs.

Five days of the great Webster trial, and the mystery is greater than ever. The corpus delicti, the killing an@ the cutting, are established by the most remarkable bain of ctroumstances in the history of criminal ju- Tisprudence. The whole hangs by the teeth, but the teeth will hold on. The teeth are positively indentified by tangible, material, forms which cannot lie. Dr. Parkman was destroyed in the Medical College—and the crime lies between Webster and Littlefield. These- men are both on trial, and the objects of intense inte- reet, Either had the opportunity to do the deed, which no other man had; and though the testimony, thus far, looks dark against Webster, an ingenious lawyer may yet mystify the jury as to which did it. Both these mem have shown marvellous assurance in their ciroumstances— Webster looks the innocent, and is quite self-possessed, as one could suppose an inno-- cent man to be. Littlefield. on the week of the diseo- very, after he bad etated his suspicions of Webster, end after, according to his own story, he must have been morally certain that the remains of Dr, Park- man were in the College, attended one dancing: school, a cotillon party, and two balls, at one of which he danced in eighteen out of twenty dances, end returned to a scientific palace, reeking in the blood of its founder, at four o'clock in the morning. This is almost equal to Nerojfor s man who bed discovered so much, he was certainly rather slack not to discover more; and the ingenious defence of the government, that he was hempecked by his pru-- dent wife to keep rtili, lest he should lose his place, ie rather elender. It is quite probable that the prisoner’e- counsel will make the most of the point, that Little- field was in the hebit of resorting to the Professors room, for the purpose of playing cards, or gambling in a email way, and that Webster left his door locked, to- puta stop totbat fun. Littlefield has not the charac- ter ofa bad man. He is rather tall and genteel, with ® head which would do him credit asa country phy- sician. His education has been a littie neglected, ar appears from bis talk of « loding ges bladders ang kwering’’ vessels; but his appetite for refaed amuse- ments is strong enough Ifit could be proved thet Webster really paid, er was in « condition to pay Dr: Perkman any considerable eum of money, it would be eary to impute to Littiefield the murder and conceal- ment of Parkman, as to Webster, except for one gene- Fal fact, that 6 man cunning enough to conceal @ mup- der, would be too cunning to commit one. If Webster | did it, it waslike all such affuire tlnce Cain's, bungling oud weak. If Littlefield did it, his arrangements made him the Napoleon of crime. It is hard to believe such athing.
