Mr. Clay does not appear to place a very bh and it is pos- Q yr ym not a par- ularly dignified employment. At any rate, he usually letters requesting his under tho fore-stick. But some time since a letter came to him from Pitts- filled with the most flattering sentiments towards imself, written in oriental style, and signed with tho me of L. Korsuth, It contained a request that Mr. ‘lay would do the writer the honor to transmit to m, not his own autograph only. but that he would btain also the signatures of the other members of the Pe Cat antes t of traordii ‘This, it ix truc, appeared a roquest of an ext inary haracter, to bo addressed by Gov, Kostuth to Mr, Clay, invalid; but so strong were the evidences of the uineness of the letter, as to leave no room to doubt; d Mr. Clay determined to bo wanting in no courtesy to- dthe Hungarian hero, He consequontly got a friend © procure a suitable-book, and to obtain the signatui if the other Senators, to which he added his own. iter of the letter requested that the answer hould be sent, not to Kossuth himself, but to» jend, whore address was given. But the book at kept until Kossuth’s arrival at the National Hotel, this city, at which Mr. Clay lives, when it was for- rarded to him with Mr. Clay's compliments. Kossuth cived the book with much surprise, declared that there Jad been a mistake in the premises. and pronounced the jude letter which had caused Mr. Clay. with so much po- toncss, to take all the trouble of collecting the names, brgery.

THE DEFICIENCY BILL jas then taken up, and Mr, Gwin said that, as Mr. Ber- mn, on. Friday, had said that the administration was ca- hble of @ defence, which would be made at the proper me, he desired to present afew items of misconduct maladmini-tration. which he requested the Senator to fend if poreible, ‘This administration commenced on he 4th of March, 1849, and had continued up to this me, He referred to the appointment given to Butler Ing, to proceed to California, notwithstanding he waa pen a member of Congress, Mr. Collier was appointed olleotor, and proceeded to Californis, accompanied by military escort, the expenses of which were paid by the juartermaster's Department, and amounted to $35,000, hen the Collector might have fone there for $600, When it.

After iIson's arrival in California an order came from the ‘ar Department, that an expedition should be fitted out the Quartermaster's department, to go after, and ing to California, General Wilson's private property.

This bill supplied the deficiency caused by $150,- 000 to eecort tho Commissioners; yot no one was to bo found to advocate the payment of tho dobts contracted by thore Commissioners with citizens of California, Not one of those Commissioners, though their eonduct was known, had been removed. "They had nogotiated many treaties, and were now exccuting somo of them; but not one of those treaties had yet reached tho Senate, The appropriations for the Quartermastor'’s Department for the year 1861, were three milliens nine hundred thousand dollars, ‘The expenditures by that departmont were over $5.000,000, Ile had rhown the system of expenditures in thet department. The reason of the deficiencies was evident—it was tho loose, reckless, expenditure of the public money by the army. This’ system received its spring, its great incentive, from thé election of a mero military chieftain to the Presidency in 1849, Whones camo that senso of security by many officers, that the oxpendituros for that service would be excessive and overlooked? No man. in his opinion, should be selected Prerident for his military deeds alono; those deeds would nover supply the wants of atatesmanship, of the practical machinery of government, or of a thorough knowledge of the civil operations of the government.

Mr. Gorman raised a point of order, that the House alone cannot instruct @ committee, acting and orea- ted under laws, and appointed jointly by tho two branches.

Tho attendance was miserably defieiont in point of num- bers, there boing scarcely a hundred and twenty persons prerent; and,strange enough, not one-fourth of the number appeared to be of that class which the meeting was supposed to represent. The great majority of those who attended were by no means “young men,’ but, on the contrary, secmed to have made thoir debut at the hustings long ago, and to be now rather old political stagers, ‘The meeting was organized by the nomination of Mor- gan Morgans, Ksq., as President, who addressed the meet- ing inthe following terms:— Gentlemen, I feel honored in being selected to preside over the men of New York in favor of the nomination of Dani+l Webster to tho Presidency. (Cheers.) It is true that cur gathering to-night is not Ue i but when we take into consideration the inclemency of the night. it is not to be wondered at. Tho meeting is, however, sufficient to arouse the feelings of the young men of the country. A spirit can be got up here to-night to arouse the young mien of the country to do justioe to the greatest ofliving men.

Richmond Phillips, Ralph Cook Mr. Rours, one of the Vice Presidents, then read the following address to the young men of the country:— ADDRESS. Ata meeting of the Young Men of the city of New York, on the 19th instant, it was unanimously’ resolved that an appeal should be made to the young mon of our common country, to join us in cleoting Daniel Webster to the Presidency of the United States. In pursuance of this reeolution. we invite your aid. We have plodged our own best efforts to the cause. We have determined to devote ourselves during the summer and autumn to the great work, and we call upon you, young mon of the United States, to share the effort, that you may share the triumph, The highest political duty of freemen is performed the present year by the people of the United States. In almost every other country, the supreme power of the state passes from father to son, by the chance of birth. The heir to the crown may be wise or foolish, virtuous or depraved, with- out affecting his title. Tiundreds of cases are recorded in history. it Which supreme power has, in this way, passed to the infirm of body, the feeblein mind, the corrupt, the cruel, the unprincipled, of all ages, and of either sex; ande the happiness of millions has thus been made the sport of accident, We are accustomed, with honest pride, to pluce our free elective system in contrast with the here- Gitary principle of the Old World. We make it our just boast, that the people of America have retained, in their own hands the right to bestow, and that for a limited period, the highest human trust on the best qualified and most deverving. ‘This is the duty to be performed at the approaching season; and if the citizens of the United Stutes fail to confer the chief magistracy of the Union onthe best qualified and most deserving. they will vio- late the very principle of our system, If the choice ia bestowed on any lower degree of qualification or merit, it is not only @ dangerous act of injustice, but it tends to bring reproach on populag government. Everythi not an election which bears the name, The world has just been shocked by the prostitution cf the forms of an election in France, to ratify an act of flagrant military usurpation, The Dictator boasts of his overwhelming majority, but all the world knows that it is i inary and delusive, Do we with to pronounce the loudest buke on this mockery of the elective franchise, let us show to the friends of liberty that when a free people choore for themaclves, they choose their best qualified. most deserving, most distinguished follow-citizen, Such is the high duty the people aro called to perform during the current year. Let your minds be elevated to the fu'l conception of its importance feel the magnitude of the trust devolved upon the citizens of s treo country, when they call one of their number to the chair of state. Re- member that it was to secure you inthe enjoyment of this great privilege that your fathers exposed themselves to the risk of @ revolution. Let your choice be such as to show that the end was worthy of the precious blood with which it was obtained; that the people deserve to be trusted with the choice of their rulers, and that they have the wisdom and integrity to select those best quali- | fled for the gervice of the country. For ourselves, follow- citizens, we have avowed our enthusiastic preference for Daniel Webster. He is our first choice. We intend no | injustice to any other worthy citizen. America has many deserving fons ‘They present themeolyes in every tof the country. The civil and military service of the | Union is adorned by names that will fills bright place in | our country’s annals, But since the suffiages of the peo- | ple must centre on one, and we are called upon to select » individual who on the score of transcendent talents, | length of service, experience in the public counsels, and relation to the great questions of the day, is entitled to preference, What bame. we may fairly ask, may not, with- out dieparagement, yield to that which we have in- reribed on our banner? But it isnot an casy matter, in times like the present, to arouse the mass of the people toa due sence of the importance of an intelligent dis- charge of the elective duty. One is busy at his farm and another at his merchandive, They truat each that his neighbor will go to the polls. His own yote will not be wanted, In this way our very prosperity becomes source ofdanger, enfolding in its bosom a principle of sclf-destiuetion. While the great mass of the people are devoted tortheir private avocations the all-important right of sufyage is left to be performed by the profewed politicians, and consequently under the influence of party pareions and selfish calculation, Thisis the canker of States; and we call upon the young mon of the country, at the approaching election to rouse themselves, and togive to the world @ bright example of the true beauty of « republican syrtem, Not yot familiarized {c mere party discipline--not swayed’ by selflah mo- fiver—strangers to cabal and intrigue. let thom take the election into their own bands, and with sympathetic zeal kindling from State to State, unite throughout the coun try in one well concentrated and triumphant effort. ‘ihe Union ia prosperous ; but its vast concerns requiro for that very reason, at the head of affairs, a person who Will embrace nil its great interests with a glance as quick oe it is comprehens: Our commerce and navigation crertenping sll ordinary bounds ; our trade and enter: 7 | | gloun prise pouring into now channela with resistless force ; paths of intercoune hitherto trod only by the adventur- ous traveller, now made tho daily routs of thousands ; the earth yielding her gold in almoat fabulous abun- danen ; the wilderness filling up with startling rapldit; the joint effort of natural increase and tho prod. emalgration from Europe—arta, inventions. in- dustry, feience in every department and in overy application—theco are all working together and deve- loping themrelves with an enorgy and fife that bewilder the common mind. They call aloud for the most eminent | talent and the largest oxperienoe in the highest office of | the State. ‘They require tho master’s hand. Nothing short of the most powerful intelleot is sufficient to lead the mighty march of improvement Such is the state of things in our own country. Abroad, Europe is rooking to ita base. The revolutionary volcano, which seemed to have burned out, has broke forth anow; or rather a fearful re-action against all the salutary tendencies of former revolutions. A military deapotistn of the aternest onat is trampling upon all the liberal principles which tho tolls and blood of two struggling generations had wrosted from the decrepid feudalism of the European continent. A mighty struggle seems to bo imponding, and al- though Providence has cast our lot at a distance from tho region where tho storm rages, no moderate skill will be required to provent. the ship of State from being drawn intotho vortox. It is all-importast, in this chaos of the political elements abroad. that tho lights of ropublican liberty in this hemisphere should shino bright and steady, Let them not be coldly veiled from tho true friends of liberty, who a:k the guidance of thoir cheering beams, Lot thom not bekindled into a reokloss conflagration, wasting our own fair heritage, while it adds to the dangers of Kurope. Let us, in a orisis so diMoult and interesting, commit tho important and difficult office of interpreting the true principles of American liberty. to him who has so well penetrated their spirit; who has learned them in tho school of Washington; and who is best qualified to announce them in the soul- stirring words of his own matchless cloquonco. In our own vast country. ombracing this great family of Btates, stretching from the realms of ice and granito fo thore of tho orange and the cane, and filling the brond expense which divides the two mighty Oceans, there ia an unayoidablo diversity of inteross, pursuit, and feeling. ‘Thus far, and’ till lately, this diversity has administered to the growth and wolfar> of the country. It has bound us togethor by tho kindl ties of a mutual dependence. We have suppled each others wants ; wo havo helped out each others deficiencies, Out of many States wo have formed one Union ; and union has mado ua poworful and prosperous. Would that we could atop hore ; but the sad truth must be told. This divorsity—ill underdorstood—has. under the influ- enco of local prejudices engendered strife. In the oppo- site extremes of the country. excitements have grown up, founded on principles the most contradictory, but tond- ing to the samo result. The bitteroat passions have been kindled, and the fiercest denunciations have beon uttered and retorted. ‘Tho most violent opposites have allied themselves against the Uvion. In some parts of the country the laws have boon resisted to bloodshed ; in others. military organization against the govornmont of the United States, has taken place. Tho dourost wish of despots has been near its fulfilment in the wreck of the last hope of republican liberty. Who is thero. wo confident- ly arkethat has done somvchto avert thin dire catas- trophe as Daniel Webster? Who, at » moment of the ut- moat peril has thrown himself so fearlessly into the breach? ‘We ray not this by way of reproach to others. but from jus- tice to him. Ho stood in a position in the Sonate of the United States, in which tho peace of the country hung upon his fips. Hid ho exerted himself, not to appease, but to augment the agitation of the hour,~had his all powerful voice been uttered, not to harmonize, but to ox- asperate, sectional indifferencee—will any man of intelli- gence consciontiourly say that he believes tho session of 1850 would havo without a convulsion? We aro aware that now, when tho danger is, at least for a sea- fon, puseod, some persons affect to dony that it ever exist- ed, and speak with derision of the healing counsels and tho words of moderation by which tho Union was saved. But if you will inquire carefully into the courso of those by whom this language ix used, you will find, with- out exception, that they are the mon who have them- selves done their full share to bring the Union into danger. It is truo, the danger for the present is past, but its return is, unhappily, an ovent too Ukely to hap- pen, under tho influence of tho excited passions. the local interests, the personal ambitions, out of which it sprung. It may come upon us when wo least ox- pect it. Sectional excitement may again pass into wild forgetfulness of tho inestimable value of our ouriously compacted system; or the madness ef popular violence may in one rath hour entail woes upon the country to which genorations of suffering will bring no romedy Shall we not then, while the peril is recent—while the heart of patriotism is still beating quick with the dangers which the country has barely eecaped—shall wo not place the command of the ship of tatein that Herculean grasp, which was felt at tho helm while the breakors wore roaring in her path? ‘There aro questions, young men of America, which wo are called to answer. Our power is decisivo— what wo will with the ardor of youthful resolve,—what wo undertake with the cheer of youthful hearts,—what we push with the vigor of youthful arms, we shall ao- complith. It belongs to youth to intuse its exuberant vi- tality with the body politic; not to take thelead in counoil; not fo set at naught the teachings of experience—not t deprive well-tricd merit of its reward. Far from it— but to rally the impulses of youth to support ths wirdom of years; to form a salutary alliance betwooa counsel and vigor. Roure then, Young Amorica, to th momentous, the grateful tavk. In the Kast and in th West, in the North and in the South, let us cheer eac other onward to the patriotic effort. Let the animatin cry begin where tho first rays of the morning glance from the snow-clad bills of the North, beneath whose sha- dow the man of our choice was born, and let it sound through the land in one joyous acclamation. From the banks of his native Merrimack to the Gulf of Mexico— from this, ourimperial city, to the golden gato of Califor- nia—wherover the blessings of the Union are felt—whor- ever true American hearts have been thrilled with the noblest strains of patriotic eloquence—wherever public spirit is honored, and faithful service is held in re- speet—wherever constitutional liberty bas a devoted son—there let there be also an ardent friend of our can- didate. Let this be done, fellow-countrymen, and we shall give to tho republic a chicf magistrate of which in her beet days she might be proud; one whose entire fit- ness for tho office will be acknowledged both abroad and at home; ono who will heal the sectional fouds that have shaken the Union; embrace all interests in one broad survey; and embody to the life what he has himself 40 admirably sketched to the young men of Albany, the idea of a patriot President. Wl! has he compared such a President to a wise and prudent shipmaster, who makes it his first duty to prererve the vessel which carries him and his passengers, and all that is committed to his charge; to keep her afloat,to conduct her to her destined por with ontiro security of property and life. He suffers nothing to betray his watchfulnees. or to draw him aside from the great interest committed to his care; but is always awake, always solicitous, always anxious for the safety of tho ship which is to carry him through the stormy seas, “Though pleased to aoe the dolphins play, He minds hie compass and his way ; Aud oft he throws the wary lead, To seo what dangers may bo hid: At helm he makes his reason sit, Hlis crew of passions all submit, Thus, thus he stoors his bark, and sails, On upright keel, to meet the gales.”” At the conclusion of the reading of the addresa, three cheers were called for Daniel Webster, and responded to with enthusiasm, It was then moved and seconded that the address, as read, be adopted by the meeting. On the ayes and novs being called for, several determined “noes” were heard fiom different parts of the room, and were followed by hirses and cheers, The ayes, however. prevailed, and the address was declared to be an embodiment of the senso of the meeting. Mr. Anton then rose to propose the resolutions, and spoke as follows:—Mr. President and fellow citizens, L rise for the purpore of offering a series of resolutions, which, I doubt not, will reccive your hearty and mous approval; but before I do 40, with your permission, 1 will make « few remarks, which an occasion like tho present naturally suggests, When I look around me upon this aesomblage—emall indeed, but composed of noble, warm hearts—I cannot fail to be conscious that this meeting ix not composed of those who, for years, have been in the habit of attending -politieal gatherings; but that it is made up, in the main, of the active, enthusi- astic. warm-hearted young men of the eity of New York (Cheers,) Yes, fellow citizons, young men of New York you have left your work shops and your counting rooms and have assembled here to-night, for the purpose of lenning with deliberation, what you will carr uto effect with all the energy of youthful hoarte., ‘Tho occasion is one of the highest importance to you; the events of the next four years—euch is the complex- jon of political masters all over the world—will form an era in our country’s distory, an era either of glorr or of dieaster; and to you, and énch of you, individually. the occasion is equally important. You are just entering upon the duties, and the responsibilities, of activ life, you are taking your places and your posts in the groat Feene of the world, and the next four years will exorcise a controlling influence over the wholo of the remaining period of your lives, Your country’s prosperity during that pericd will be your prosperity, her divasters your ai € You have aseembled here, to-night, freely to curs public measures and pubiic men, to express your confidence in a man, who, during a lifetime devoted to his country’s corvice, has shown himself statesman of brond and extended views, @ patriot without stain, who has doserved the esteem of overy lover of hi« country—in every position be has held in that country’s service—as Hopresentative, as Se nd finally ne Secretary of State, Young men of New cu linve met to-night to nominate Daniel Webst Masrachuvetts, aa the young men’s candidate for the Pre ideney. in 1862, (Oheers.)

The young men of our land have learned their first lemons in eloquence from his noble and patriotic speeches; and have ‘able to judge of the dangers in | which their country stood from ‘his noble efforts in her | behalf. Young men of Now York! Untrammelied by | arty prejudices, you have resolved that your influence shall be given to the most deserving; and you havo fixed at once upon Daniel Webster, ax most worthy of that de- aignation, You do not mean by this to oast discredit upom many worthy sons upon whom your country might, with manly depend; but in your opinion, when s man oc- cupies such a position as statesman and patriot aa ho does, it carts discredit on no man to bo named aftor him, Young men of New York, you have nominated Daniel | Webrter as President of the United Stutes; you havo | made him the young men’s candidate: you have declared that he is your first choice, and that you will shoetilly do all that in you lies to scoure his ciection. Lot us tell the young men of the Union why.@Daniel Webster is, in our opinion, the noblest representative of that class of men which it is our boast that republican institutions only can roduce. Born of revolutionary parents, he is a patriot By dercent. Daniel Webster has been pure and séif-de- voted in his country’s service, and therefore a patriot in every aotion of his long life. Therefore, lot us givo three cheers for Daniel Webster, the statosman and pa- triot, (Responded to.) Fellow-citizens, wo are all this | night mombers of a great and glorious Uni A Union which neithee nullification nor sectional prejudices have been able to destroy. To what. undur providence, do owo what we this night enjoy but to Daniel Wobster? Who. when the storms of party raged—who whon par- ricidal hands would destroy that Union fur which our party fought and bled—who raised in hia herouloan grasp the bright rhield of the Constitution before the country and who, insaving hor, gaincd immortal honor for him- self. (Cheors.) Fellow citizens, let us give three cheers for Daniel Webster, the star of the Union, (Responded to. Threo cheers for Henry Clay were thon called for, and given with enthusiasm, and supported by threo more). Yes, fellow citizens, oven while we are speaking of Daniel Webstor, we must not forget old Henry Clay, (cheors;) but Iet us remember that that glorious name carries painful recollections with it. Honry Clay had long been our idol—had long been cherished by us; but the poople of the United States were ungrateful to him. His sun now sinking into the horizon, the last hours of his lite are drawing to aclose, and he has bid farewell to the scenes which he #0 many years adorned, Lot us take an example from his career, and let us not treat Daniol Webster as we did Henry Clay. (No, no, and cheers.) We know him to bean ardont friend of liberty, and tho bitterest foe of tyranny, in whateyer clime or under whatever name it may exist. Read his noble speech in behalf of suffering. down trodden Greece; he was a young man then, aud he felt ax we fecl—and qmprossed our thoughts in bis own noble language, tas he ohangod? has the warm current of his blood become thickened and cooled? Oh! that the chevalier Hulsemann were hore ial to narrate to us experience, No! age may have hitened his locks, though ho bears the ravages of timo iehtiy, but his heart is still as young as whea he thundered forth his denunciations against the butchers of Scio. Young men of New York, you have read that fumoun letter to Hulsemann; what think you of it? 1 will read your thoughts. hero was not a young American at’ homo or abroad. whose heart did not swell with conscious pride when he perused it. It was a firm, decided, and most eloquent declaration of the glorious principles of our constitution, in oppo- sition to the tyrannical Kuropean dootrine of the divine right of Kings. Could this nation raixe its voice, and had the American people one tongue with which toxpeak, wo should have spoken, with glowing pride, just such words as Daniel Webster, on that occasion, spoke for us. Our fathers long and ineffectually strove to free them- selves from the right of visitation and search, which the English government olaimed—for this they exposed thom- selves to the trials and chances of war—but they never thoroughly succeeded. ‘The deck of an American mer- chantman,’’ to use the words of an cloquent writer, “is now as fafe as a cabin among tho Alleghanies.”” Whose work is this? To whom ought the gratitude of all who value their country’s honor to be accorded for this but to Daniel Web+ter. who. by his statesmanship and diplo- macy has achieved what the sword was not able to offect? An American steamer was lately fired into by an English brig of war, and forced te anchor, and to obey somo orders of her supercilious commander, Hardly had the com- plaint of this outragous treatment been made, when an indignant protest from Daniel Webster, ax secrotary of State of the United States, was on its way ovor the sea; and the next steamer which left the shores of England, bore with ber, what England had never becn known be- fore to make toany nation howeyer powerful, an ample and ful! apology for the insult. Young men of New York, let us give three cheers for Daniel Webster, the defender 0} the American flag! (Responded to.) But why reviow his part services? You know him him asthe champion of the Constitution, as the fast and firm friend of Amorican in- duriry; you know him asa statesman of unequalled in- tellectual powers, and asa patriot without stain, Shall it be said that the young men of Now York rejected such a man—that they wero insensiblo to his merit, his sor- vices, and his claims ? No ; cold, selfish politicians may talk of availability, and the thousand other cant words with which they cloak ¢clf-interest, but we, the young men of New York. have mado our choico; and we pledge ourielves to each other, and to the young men of the Union, not to hesitate or waver in the work wo have be- gun. If pre-eminent merit, unsullied honor and_patri- oti: m. a life spont in his country’s servico, do not consti- tuto availability, what in this world can? Let tho pi ple answer that q@estion for themselves, and it will be with a voice that shall ring al! through tho land But calumny has assailed him—and whom has it not as- sailed? What man. occupying a distinguished position, has been free from the attacks of those, who, in attempt. ing his debasement, supposed they wero promoting their own advancement? He has been for thirty yearsin hia country’s service. Point out a single instance in which he ever betrayed a public trust—point out @ single in- stance where felfish interests have had more influence over him, than that country's good—point out » single instance where sacrifice of seif could in any way promote the public good, where he has not freely, fully, nobly, tiade that tucrifice. Finolly, where are his calumni- ators? ‘They aro passed away and forgotten. Whore aro the waves that beat on the granite cliff? The rock still stands in its lowering mujesty. and tho lightnings of hea- ven play around itssummit; but the waves have sunk | inte the bosom of the ocean, from whence they came, no | man shall say whither. Press on then young men of New York for thé sake of tho principles you revore—for the sake of the country you love, and the flag you honor; bend all your energies to the tack, and ensure the election of the patriot President. ‘Yhere was a time in Lhe history of our country—immediately after the revolutionary War—when, among the weaknesses and imperfections of the old confederation, the utmost danger of civil war threatened the infant States.
