THE PRESIDENCY. ‘The Webster Committee Mooting. ‘The members of the commiitew to support the nomina- Vion of Daniel Webster, met inst night, in their weekly meeting in Constitution Heli.

He would prosced to consider the nature of the duties of the President of the United States. They chal, longed the greatcet inteliect and patriotism. There is no man too great to be the President of the United States, But what were the momentous questions to be decided by the next administration, ond how were they to be do- cided? There were two questions to be decided—the Fugitive Slave law, and thet of our fo Policy. In regard to the first, if the law was void and ative, tt would properiy result in ibe dissolution of the Union. Ho believed there was a Getermination to repeal or modify the Fugitive Slave law.

Tho spirit ef rebellion and di iam had even entered into the sacred classes of society —had penetrated to the very pulpit. But Millard Fillmore and Daniel Webster presented a bold front against these aseaulta. Frustrated in their designs against the law, the agitators law, As to how this question should be decided, he would refer them to the speeches of Daniel Webster for the last two years. He saw enough to determine him not to vote for any candidate unless convinced that he would carry out the constitution of the United States in its entirety. ‘The question of foreign policy was alao to be decided by the next administration, Were they to take a forcible part in the future affairs of Europe? An eminent forcign- ef had introduced this policy: and had intimated that the will of the people rhould be disclosed through the ballot box, Asfor himself, he held such policy in the utmost abhorrence; but a question of this kind should be wubmitted to the greatest nnd wisest statesmen of the nation, and he was glad. at all events, that the instincts of one of the people coincided with the sentiments of America’s greatest statesman. Kossuth bad asked them to become s power oncarth, but he did not think that that power consisted in war and bloodshed He would have America continue that policy which had made her the asylum of ail the fugitives in the world. Those ques- tions could be decided by uo person better than by him who, the speaker thought: would be the whig candidate for President of the United Stijes—Danicl Webster. Where ia the man who had devoted so long a life to the consideration and practice of the constitution and laws over all other intellects of the nation. The odor of n» ticallife. ‘The speaker then read an extract of one of Webster's apecches. in which he disclaimed all soctional prejudioea, In that short extract was exhibited the charac- ter of Daniel Webster. There was a time when he was con- sidered a New England man, and now one-idead persons may coasider him a Southern man; but he was swayed by noreotional projudices, He battled against Northern abolitionixm and South Carolina nullification, because he was a national mon, and be:ause he was Daniel ‘Webster. No blow was struck against the United States but was warded off by their constitution’s great defender; and was it possible such aman could not be elected President by the people of the United States? Is he disliked? What is he disliked for? Because he doss not bow very low when he ix introduced to gentlemen. tion which no other man can command. If he is disliked. what is it for? Is it for the Ashburton treaty? Is it for bis conduct on Cuba ? Ie itfor the Hulsemann letter ? Let aman be athamed of his father because of all his benefits to him, andihen he wonld have some rewson to believe that the people of the United States were ashamed. of Daniol Webster. (Applause) The American people would always feel sccure so long as they knew that Daniel Webster was at the helm, He had serv country for thirty y was serving it sti would the American people not reward him for his scr- vices by conferring on him an honor which he has so honorably and justly deserved? (Applause.) Mr. Kereta, Jr., was next culled on, and addi the meeting. He was a Webster man, bora and ¢ the wool. He had done nothing but talk Webster, eat Webster, and drink Webster; and. therefore, he could not shrink from addressing them this evening. He would ask what kind of man should be elected President?

Mr. Webster alao supported commercial and agricultural interests, and was in favor of giving public lands to those who would till them. Mr. Webster, too. was ever the friend of the laboring classes, and never assisted the cle- vation of the rich to the disparagement of the poor. When he was told thut such a man was not available as 8 can- didate for the Presidency, he would not believe it. Where is the man who had done so much for those interests as Daniel Webster? Show him such a man, and he would vote for him; but untilsuch a man is brought forward, they would ail support Daniel Webster. Mr. Webster was popular, but not among the politicians and wire- pullers. If he were nominated by the Whig National Convention, he would be sure to be eiected. If Mr. Webster. however, was doomed to be sacrificed to the jealousy of hie party, their children’s children would ‘call shame on them.

You will observe in one of the Repudblicanos hore- with, a etatement showing tho curious manner in which the agents of General Monagas’ government have managed to regulate tho treasury out of some $500,000. The writer of the articles upon the sub- jeot in the Republicano, demonstrates, with arith- metical accuracy, the singular result arrived at by the financiers cngaged in the Lizarraga and Mont- seratte affair. He appears, however, to throw all of the blame upon the intimate friends or advisers of tho President, considering it probably more prudent to avoid giving direct umbrage to the Chief of tho Btate, who is. it is understood, extremely suscep- tible to attacks from Mr. Brusual’s paper ; car I the latter would not desire to be out down the sword again, as was his misfortune during the administration of Genoral Jose Tadeo Monagas. Since that period, Mr. Bruzual has acted with great caution in his editorial career. 1 would also crave your attention to the message of the President, dated A) 22, sent to Congress, relative to the invasion of Eouador by General Juan Jose Flores. After giving us a long rigmarole of nonsense, to prove the desire of Flores to convert the South American republics into monarchies, as- sisted by European despots, &e., &o,, he asks for a ratory act of Congress, a3 follows : 1m —The number of troops the executive may cail into service in the event of an aggression or invasion. ‘2d.—W hat hostile act shall be considered as a declara- tion of war. 3d.—Whetbor the President shall be authorized to take the command of the army in person. 4th.—What conduct is to beobserved by the govern- ment. should it be necessary, in the course of events, to march the (roops into other countries, Should General Flores sucoeed in his enterpri in Eouador, and establish himself firmly in the go- vernment of that country, he would undoubtedly keep tho ty now predominant in New Gra- nada, in co ual alarm and consternation. He peony would assist the conservadores of New gain poseossion of the government. This prospect in view has created, among the Monagasites, appro- henaion of losing the power they so ingloriously | wield. In truth and with justice, you may say that Venezuela is a republic in name only. Congress is still in session. No measure as yet has been adopted by that hody for the good of the country. Whatever you may have heard of rich mines of gold, silver, quicksilver, copper, &c., is all fudge; and the reports of their existing are put in circulation merely for speculative purposes. Elections for the Vice Presidency of the republio commence on the let of August next, and it is un- dorstood that Francisco Parejo, a young lawyer, late ministor of tho first Monagas, will be supported be no real opposition to his election, as the known wishes of the President are duly executed. Tho Germans did not relish the few remarks of your correspondent from this port, published in the TgxALD of 13th March last, respecting certain Ger- man trash introduced here. e truth, however indigestible, must be swallowed, as our friend, Con- sul *** says, without any contortions. We shall, hereafter, be favored with a communi- cation twice a week, to and from Laguayra, by steam—the owners of the small steamer Bertha Aorrascowitz, built in Baltimore last year, having cntered into a contract with the merchants of this city, Laguayra and Caraccas, to keep her running as above stated. Her captain, Conroy, an American, is a very gentlemanly man indeed, energetic, and deserving ofa better situation. The American brig Helen Maria, from New-York, via Granada and Laguayra, sailed from this for Porto Rico and New York, on the 25th ulto., in bal- last. No American vessel now here.

[From the Boston Advertiser, May 25 | On the 24th inst.,Mr. William Sawyer, a well known lawyer of Charlestown, with his family, were in a carriage crossing the Fitchht Railroad, just west of what is called the West Cambridge crossing, when their vehicle was struck by the express train of cars which leaves Fitchburg at 6 P.M. ‘The engineer gave the usual alarm as soon as he saw the danger, and reversed the engine, but in vain.
