Ile has now fairly got the start of Mr. Fillmore, and all'the other candidates for the Presidency, the people of Buffalo having in- vited him to a complimentary dinner, while the President and the rest of his cabinet have decided to break up in admired disorder, and take the back track for Washington. This is rather curious and hasty news, and may indicate that there is some- thing in the back ground, worthy of some remark hereafter. At Savannah, Mr. Howell Cobb has mide a speech in favor of maintaining the Union. Thus it goes. North and South, and the ultraisms and ul- traists of the day will be forced from their bad | eminence. In the same city, we perceive that a | severe sentence bas been passed on J. Orville | Brown, a clerk in the post office at Augusta, for robbing the mails. The prosecutions of the go- Yernment, ofslate years, for this crime, have been made with a great deal of vigor, and the police de- partment connected with the mails is much more efficient than at any former period Later from California and the Sandwich | Islands.

Arrangements fut the Departure of the President for Washington, &e., ko., Ke. OVER BAIN’S LINE. SECOND SPEECH OF MR. WEBSTER AT DUNKIRK. Dewxinx, May 16—P. M. It was announced that Mr, Webster, who had been detained by the sickness of his son, would address the citizens this evening, This announcement brought a large number down to Dunkirk, who, with our citizens, repaired to the large dining room of the Loder House. Mr. Webster commenced speaking at 7 P. M..and said although the event which had separated him from the rest of the party, and caused his detention at Dunkirk, wasa painful one, the detention itself had been very pleasant. He then adverted to the subject of river and harbor improvements, and showed the absurdity of the ar- | guments used by those who oppored the appropriation bill. ‘Mr. Webster then took up the subject of the New York and Erie railroad, and spoke of the magnitude of the under- taking, and the energy and perseverance required to sus tain avd carry forward such an enterprise to a successful completion, He dwelt with emphasis on the public spi- rit ofthe Dunkirkers. He said that no enterprise in this country, or in the world. could be brought in comparison. Ie referred to the railroad being constructed between St. Petersburgh and Moscow, at the expense of the whele Russian nation, as the only enterprise in Europe that could be brought in comparison with it, and that line was not as long, nor did it pass through such a rugged and uneven country. The Erie railroad is a work | that confers honor on the State and nation Mr. Web- ster said he could not quit the subject without pay- ing a passing tribute to the memory of one of the early friends of internal improvements — De Witt Clinton. He talked of his enlarged and states- man-like views on the subject of internal improvement. Mr. Webster said he was not a New York man, but he was an American, and as such he was free to say that too much honor could not be paid to the memory of Clinton He then made an elegant allusion to the advantages of our system of government over any other in the world and contrasted the happiness of our people with those of | other governments, and spoke warmly on the subject of the Union, and its advantages to the whole country. Mr. Webster closed his remarks by thanking the citizens of Dunkirk for the hospitable manner in which he had been entertained, The merting was then closed with three cheers for Daniel Webster. and three for the Union. THE TRIP FROM DUNKIRK TO BUFFALO port, yesterdey, from Chagres, we have files of California papers which give us dates fifteen days | later than thove heretofore received. The commercial accounts from California are | highly encouraging. Rain, which had long been | desized, had fallen, and proved advantageous to | mining operations ; and the steamer Panama is re- | ported to have brought down from San Francisco gold dust to the amoant of a million of dollars. ‘The social, political and finan :ial condition of Cali- fornia appears to be in about the same state as by | previous advices, and our columns contain extracts | frow the California journals on the principal items ef intelligence on these and kindred subjects. ‘The most important news by the arrival, how- ever, to which we have to direct attention, is the petition in which the government of the Sandwich Aslands bas been placed by the threats of the Preach government, through its agents, and the disposition of the Hawaiian population to place themselves wunder the American flag, We cannot view this subject with indifference. The SandWich Islands are important to the United States, and would form thet in the great Pacific, which it will be mecets a! r the United States to occupy at an early day, as a kind of half-way house between Ca- lifornia and India and China. We trust our go- Vernment will not neglect this momentous subject. 2We give a vory full account of all that periains to the history of the French disposition to blockade the principal port, and we commend the whole to the careful perusal of our iatelligent readers, who eannot but be interested in a subject which may dead to very serious consequences, and possibly toa war with France.

On Friday, at half-past eleven o'clock, the beautiful steamer May Flower, Captain Van Allen, arrived at Dun- | kirk with the Meyor and Corporation of Buffalo oa board, for the purpese of conveying President Fillmore and cabinet to that city. At twelve o'clock he was received on board by the Mayor, who made a neat speech on the occasion. Mr. Fillfhore replied, and thanked the Mayor for the cordial reception given to him. He said he knew it was not intended for bim particularly, but that it was a ho- mage paid to him by bis old friends and associates, to the institutions of our common country. As such he re- ceived it; and he begged leave to say to the Mayor, and through him to his fellow eitizens of Buifalo, 5 no station in his life afforded him so much pleasure as a reunion with his fellow citizens of Buffalo. (Applause.) He was happy to see them all, and vuld be ander thelr protection. He concluded u returning thanks ‘The Mey Flower then put to sea with flags flying, and bands from the Cuited States steamer Michigan, which steamed up and escorted the May Flower to Buffalo. Among those on board, were Commodore Perry, General Riley, ex-Lieutenant Governor Patterson, «&-Governor Marcy, Recorder Talmadge, D. 8. Dickinson, Senator Douglas, and the New York Corporation. At one o'clock, all on board sat down to a sumptuous dinner, ecmprising all the luxuries of the season, When the cloth was removed, and while the wine was circulating with great rapidity, the Hon. Mr. Mosery who was at the head of the table, rose and proposed the health of the President of the United States, who, he ‘aid, bad a few minutes previously left the table, and added, we grect him, with a cordial welcome, among his Old friends and ascociates. (Drank standing, with three cheers.) The health of the Secretary of the Navy was then pro- posed and drank, to which the President added, that he # no less welcome to Buffalo because he lived south of Mason and Dixon’s line. MR. GRAUAM'S SPERCH. Mr. Granast said he was unused to ‘public «faking; but be could not refrain from thanking his fellow citi- ens for the cordial manner in which they bad been pleased to welcome the announcemont of his name, and to the agreeable allusion which had been made to the place of his residence and the section of the country in which he lived. Some difference of opinion bad arisen | among the people, as tothe manner in which the govern- ment should be administered, but he hoped that by fre- quently mustering together we should learn to under- | stand each other better, to love ench other, and better to adhere to the covenants of the constitution on which our government is based. That constitution was transmitted tous by our fathers, and if we are true to ourselves, we shall trenrmit it pure and untrammeded to our posterity I don't intend to detain you, fellow-citizens, and, there fore, beg leave to offer the following sentiment.

As soomas order was restored, the Mayor intro- duced Mr. Fillmore, and addresved him as follows :— SPEECH OF THE MAYOR OF BUFVALO. fin—It is with generous emulation and honest pride, that your fellow citizens have come forth. to-day, to | welcome to his home the chief magistrate of the nation. | | You sir, now hold, the noblest civil position of which | human nature is capable, There is no higher fetation, , no more distin, honor, to which mortal can aspire; and we rejoice that on this occasion, w can meet and filicitate you, our fellow citizer first among cquals—the tof the United States. | ‘The pleasure which your return affords us. is greatly | | augmented by a consideration of the immediate object of your visit to Western New York.
