DANtEL O’CONNELL. THE PRESS. The following well written eulogy on the Press, was delivered by Mr. Webstei, at a conven tion held in Worcester some time ago. Zi is to be regretted, <hat the public general ly do not appreciate the great importance ol a well conducted independent news-paper press. It occupies a more prominent position in the affurs of the people, giving a direction to popu lar will, and controlling the march of politics, than most persons imagine—than most politi cians are willing to admit. How important then is it, that lhe pi ess should be liberally, generously, powerfully sustained by the people themselves, that ii may preserve its indepen dence—that it may stand forth what i was con tempialed io be wiien constitution d provisions j lor ns integrity was nude, lue fearless and un- I compioinismg cief< tider of lhe people’s liberties | —lhe ze Jous, untiring, ever vigilant advocate ; of .lie equal and malienabl • rights of man.

Let it be acted utrnn bv all who f.tl tn ititviesi in our tree and liberal institu tions, and soon might the spint-cbeerrng mot to— i ‘‘Here shall the 1 Aw;i.«psv I >trt. ngirts fhamftuTi Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain; Here patriot truth her glorious prospects draw, Pledged to religion liberty and law. !” be inscribed with truth and justice upon every sheet sent forth to instruct, animate and con ' linn every friend of civil liberty whose aspira tions for freedom are borne onward upon each gale that flits across the wide expanse of the Republic. in all popular governments, a free press is the most inportant of all agents and instruments. It not only expresses public opinion, but to a very great degree ii contributes to form that opinion. Il is an engine foi good oi for evil, as it may be directed, but an engine of which nothing can resist the force. The conductors I of the press in popular governments occupy a place in the social and political system of the very highest consequence. They wear the character of public instructors. To matters of intelligence, they add matters of opinion— Their daily labors bear directly on the intelli gence, the morals, the tasie, and the public spirit of the countiy. Not only are they journalists, recording political occurrences, but they discuss principles, they comment on mea sures, they canvass characters; they hold a power over the reputation, (he feelings, the happiness of individuals. The public ear is always open to their addresses, the public sympathy easily made responsive to their sen- , timents. It is indeed, sir, distinction of high honor, that t heir’s is the only profession ex- < pressly protected and guarded by the constitu- { tional enactments. Their employment soars so high, in its general consequences, it is inti- I mately connected with the public happiness, ' that its security is provided for, by the fiinda j mental law. While it acts in a manner worthy of this distinction, the press is afountainof; light and a source of gladdening warmth. It instr ucts the public mind, and almost the spirit ' of patriotism. Its loud voice suppresses every l thing which would raise itself against the pub- ! lie liberty; and its blasting rebuke causes inci- ■ pient despotism to perish in the bud. But, re- ! member, that these are the attributes of a free ' press only. THE PRESIDENT AND THE INDIANS. The editor of ihe Baiunn.ie Republican has been obligingly favoied with a copy of the fol lowing parting address of the President of the . j United States, delivered on the 7th inst. to I which the Prophet made a reply, a copy of: i winch follows the address. !

The present is a season of almost unexamp led affliction and gloom. The fatal epidemic i which is desolating the V alley of lhe Mis*issip ; pi, casts a sombre shade over every social circle. | Where it has not extended its direct and i death-dealing influence, ns effects are still felt with awf I and distressing power in the deprt- I vation of tri* nds and acquaintances in those I places where it rages. Nashville has been and j I yet issotelv afflicted. But we now mourn less I j for the prevalence of the disease among our- [ selves than lor ns suit more destiuctive influ-I ! ence in other places. Some of our most xalua ble citizens have been cu off at home, while others no less valuable have been lost at a dis ' tance, where they doub less supposed thetn | selves comparatively safe from the destructive ! pestilence. The number oi deaths thus far ' among our population, though great and dis- 1 tressing, must be accounted small in com;>arison with the horrid mortality in other places. At : present, the usual good health of our citv is tie rrly restored. A few cases only of cholera exist, and scarcely any are violent and fatal.— We have no reason hewever to repose in secu 'iitv. The march of the disease is mysterious and incalculable. U e know not how soon it may return with desolating fury and lay low the vigor of the most healthy and presuming.— I Lei us be bumble under the severe cbasitse- j ments of an overruling Providence and endea vor io be prepared for any fate that infinite wis dom and goodness may assign us. Our accounts from Lexington, Ky. are aw tully distressing. That usually pleasant,healthy and delightful town, the pioverbial seat ol hos pitality and health, and social enjoyment, seems lo have been more severely scourged by the epidemic than any other spot in our country. — In proportion to its ordinary comforts and blessings has been the severity of its recent trials and afflictions. VVe regret that we have no minute details of the number and names of the victims. VVe have seen mentioned, how ever, a great number of the most respectable, useful, prudent and worthy citizens of the place, and we have to lament personally the loss of some our most intimate and highly valuable acquaintances and friends. A letter to a gentleman in this town from a correspon dent of intelligence and respectability, dated at Lexington, June 12, calculates the number of deaths on the proceeding day, Tuesday, at sixty, and mentions the names of gen. Thomas Bodley, Joseph Towler, cashier of the United States’ Branch Bank, William Smith, clerk in the same Bank, Thomas T. Skillman, Michael Fishel, Joseph Ficklin, post-master, John Pos tleivait, inn-keeper, A. Dumesnil and lady, M. Giron, Di. Challen and Dr. J. Boswell as Hmong the dead. The following extract from a letter us the same date, which we copy from . the Louisville Herald of the 14th, gives a most gloomy, but we fear not exaggerated picture of ihe distress which prevails. j “1 do assure you we have seen and heard ' enough since I wrote you, two days since, to j strike terror to the strongest nerve ; even the physicians wore such awful countenances that it was enough to confound and terrify the weak and timid. Nearly all lhe physicians are com pletely prostrate, and many of them now in bed ; surely there never has been such mortal ity in any place of the same number of inliabit ants. Since nine or ten o’clock this morning, it is admitted by every one, almost, that the disease is subsiding ; and since that time until the present, say five o’clock, p. m. I do not think there has been a single new case, I mean a violent one : there are but few left in the place 'o have it, nearly all that could go to the i country have been gone some days ; many of. whom have died. There are not enough well persons left to take care of the convalescent and inter the dead. I have been told there were j twelve or fourteen uninterred at one time this I morning at one of the grave-yards. It is useless for any one to attempt to guess how j many have fallen. Three hundred would pro bably be a reason ible computation. On yes terday and to day it has been impossible to get coffins or rough boxes made sufficiently soon to put them away.” ' , . trom the MR. BOLTON TO THE HON. DANIEL WEBSTER. At#-Font, May 16, 1833. Dear Sir—lt cannot have escaped vourob seiv.iiioti, ttiat warm discussions are now going on in ih iny of the southern papers, and much agitation is felt or feigned in a portion of lhe south, on the subject of slavery, and of imputed designs it the north against the security and va lue of that species of property. 1 have been so long and closely connected with Georgia, that I am perhaps more watchful than most others in this quarter of such discus sions as these, and having reason moreover to apprehend that, at this particular juncture, lhe tendency, if not the deliberate aim ami purpose is to excite uuiveisal uneasiness and distrust in lhe slave holding S ales and by consequence to fomen jealousies and heart burnings igainst the mm slave holding Sines, which designing pol itic ins maj urn to mischievous account, I I have fell desiious since our converse ion this morning of obtaining an expression in writing of yom views, as io the power of Congress on the subjects ot the slaves and slavery, and al ! so as io the existence of any wish or design on the part of Northern*men, lo interfere in any way with the seem ity or regulation of that spe cies of property. My immediate object in bus seeking to ob tain a wrinen expression of your opinion on these subjects is, that I may communicate it to a distinguished fr tend of mine in Georgia, who shares tn my solicitude in relation thereto., and through him to the public at large. 1 am, dear sir, with great respect. And esteem, Yout obedient servant. Signed JOHN BOLTON. Mr. WEBSTER’S ANSWER TO Mr- BOL 1 ON. N'io-York, U/iy \~th, 1833. My Dear Sir —I have received your letter ’ of last evening, requesting me to slate my opin ion of the powers of the Congress on the sub ject of slaves and slavery; and of the existence of anv wish or design, on the part of Northern j men to interfere with the security or regulation of tha species of property. My sen imenis on this subject, my dear Sir, I have bet n often publicly expressed; but I can have not objection to repeat the declaration of , them, if it be thought by you that such declar ation might, in the smallest degree, aid the friends of Union and the constitution in the South, in dispelling prejudices which aieso in- I dustriously fostered, ind in quieting agitations ' I so unnecessarily kept alive. In mv opinion the domestic slavery of the 1 J Southern States is a subject within the exclu sive control of the Slates themselves; and ' this; I am sure, is the opinion of the whole North. Congress has no authority to intefere m he emancipation of slaves, or in the treat ' ment of them in any of the States. This was !so resolved by the House of Representatives, when Congress sat m this city in 1790, on the report of a committee, consisting almost entire ly of Northern members; and I do not know an instance of the expression of a diff-rent opin ion, in either House of Congress, since. 1 can not say that particular individuals might not possibly be found who suppose that Congress may possess some power over the subject, but I do not know anv such persons, and if there be any, lam sure they are few. The servitude jof so great a portion of the population of the - / South is, undoubtedly, regarded at me rvmu, - as a great evil, moral and political; and tiie dis cussions upon it, which have lecently taken place, in the Legislatures of the several slave ■ holding States, have been read with very deep r interest. But it is regarded nevertheless, as - an evil, the rerbedy for which lies with those ; Legislatures themselves, to be provided and • applied according to their own sense of policy - and duty. The imputations which you say, I and say truly, are constantly made against the t North, are in my opinion entirely destitute of ■ any just foundation. 1 have endeavored to re f pel them, so far as has been in my power, on . all proper occasions; and for a fuller express , ion of my own opinions both on the power ol > Congress, and on the groundless charges a- • gainst Northern men, I beg leave to refer you to my remarks in the debate on Mr. I' oot s re- • solutions in 1830. I am, my dear sir, With much true regard, F Your ob’dt serv’t. DAN’L WEBSTER. TO JOHN BOLTON, esq. PLAN OF NEGRO EMANCIPATION. London, May 14. I.

The meeting held on the Bth of May, at the Thatched house, of the proprietors of West I India property, was very large. Among those present were Earl Harewood, Lords Cliandoes and St. V incent, <scc. a long discussion took place, but with strictly closed doors to those I not connected with the Colonies. The result , was, that as lhe measures of government was I not yet communicated to the deputation, gov ernment he called upon to bring the subject be fore the House of Commons on the 13th, as at present ananged; as, in the event of the West India interest receiving the proposals of the colonial department, no time for consideration would be given. The special Agent, Col. Abert, met the Indian Council at Creek Agency on Wednesday last. Nothing of consequence, ve learn, has yet been * (Tone, though it is now believed a treaty will be f. ch <I. We understand, that the Agent has declared that no regard will be paid to any contracts which have been made with the Indians for the purchase of lands, and that the power of the Government will be exercised to protect them against any effort to enforce any such contracts. .Should this be true; some airy ca-tleswill be destroyed. Another Agen* we learn arrived on Thursday night we are not informed as to his powers Col. Enq. On Saturday last, an Indian was apprehended in this place and committed to Jail charged with the murder of Mr. Charles T. Phelps, formerly of Apalachicola Mr. Phelps left this place about the . first of August last for Apalachicola Bay and has never been seen or heard of since. He had borrow ed a horse of Mr. Gibson of Roanoke and had promised to return him on the day he left this place; some fifteen 'lays afterwards the horse re turned to Mr. Gibson without saddle or bri dle. Some few weeks since, an Indian went to the house of Mr. Boykin twenty miles below this, and had in his possession a gold watch which Mr Boy. kin, purchased for twenty five dollars. lie imme diately adaertised the watch and it has been iden tified as the property of Mr. Phelps. The Indian was found in this place on Saturdoy last and ar rested. No doubt is entertained of Phelps’ mur der. though as yet nothing has transpired to fix with certainty upon the murderer; other circum stances, however, have come to light which it ig hoped will afford a clue by which the affair may be traced out. Mr, Phelps had, we understand, in his possession, money aud papers to a considera ble amount.---ii. All great men are generally noticed through the columns of a newspaper, whether it be for their moral, or political character, theirfore, it is ekpec ted since it is well known that Gen. Duff Green is on a southern tour, and as he stands recorded a mong some of the notorious characters, that men* i tion should be made of him- We, therefore, from such considerations, would state the fact as under stood, that the General is now in the interior of : this State; and that on his way up. tie stopped at • the residence of Mr. M’Duffy and also at that of j Mr. Calhoun; at the house of the former, he breakfasted upon the United States’ Bank Char ter; and at the latter, he denied upon Nullifies ! tion: whethei they have been digested or not, our 1 informant sayeth not; however, he will doubtless ; disgorge them in the columns of the U.

A man named Hall, was recently brought before ihe police magistrate cd’ Boston, on a charge of being a common drunkard, and a va grant. The charge of drunkenness was clearly proved, as the previous records of the court ful ly showed and the testimony of witnesses in the particular entirely established; but the oth er charge, viz: that of vagrancy, was not sus tained, as if appeared in evidence that Hall was the editor and publisher of a newspaper.— U. S. Gaz. william drayton. We are truly sorry 'o learn by a letter re ceived in this ci’y from Charleston, that this distinguished Statesman, and firm supporter of his Country’s best interests, is about to leave bisown dear Carolina, for whom tie has snug gled with unexampled ze il and perseverence, until he has seen her out ofdanger. The loss of such a man as M . Drayton in our Federal Council, will he not only felt most deeply by Carolina, but likewise by the whole American people: for no m in stands higher in the estima tion of all p arties. The rem irks of lhe writer are so well applied to tho occasion, that we givtj them in frill. ‘•I am sorry to inform you that Drayton, out own, our beloved Daayton, leaves our shores forever. He will noi again be a canditate for Congress. The honest, persevering, pure and patriotic Dray on, lias been almost compelled lo abandon his native Carolina, by the base and unprincipled disorganizers, who have been operating on the the passions us tne people for the past two or three years. His pure mind ievolts at the scenes he has witnessed, lie lias withstood tho torrent while at its height— he has breasted ihe s'O'in when at its utmost fury—he has remained firm at his post as long as danger appeared—he has gloriously fought the battle of his Country, his whole Country— and retires from the contest unsullied. But ho does not wish to enter a contest where tho ve nom of individu d hatred may exhibit its impo tent spite, in again exciting the passions of ihe people. His noble mind rises above the little party bickering of an election contest for place. The tremendous waves that roll with the most desolating aspect, and threaten to overwhelm all that obstructed them, he can calmly meet and calmly conquer; but the petty splashinffs, that only sprinkle and bespl itter those wio come within their influence, aie beneath his notice. He is right. lam glad he retires from a canvass that, in the present state of things, can have no charms for ain hi like him. Much as I hate and despise Nullification, I w>mld rather see the whole representation of Carolina Ntdlifiers, than that Drayton should undergo the trial, particularly at a time when there is no necessity for it. The faction is now com pletely prostrated, and Z sincerely hope, will never be resuscitated. If ever it should be, Z have no fears for the result. Americans m,y ever feel certain that they will conquer, and they may also rest assured that Diayton vyill ever be with them. Until that period, although , he leaves his native state, may peace and qua t •ide descend upon his honored head—may his last days be calm and placid—and may his name ever be held as a Beacon to guide all true lovers of Libei ty and Union” i DISTRESSING SHIP-WRECKS.
