IION,DANIEL WEBSTER'S
Ueccptlon In Boston on Monday.
SPEECH IN FRONT OF REVERE HOUSE-
We find the following special telegraphic des
patch in the Philadelphia North American of
yesterday . BoSTONi AprU 29—10 P. M.
A telegraphic despatch having renchod hero
this morning, announcing that the Hon. Dun-
iel Webster had left New York in the eurly
train for Boston, a lurgo concourso of people
assembled this aftornoon in the immediate vi
cinity of the Revere House, under the expect
ation that he would address his fellow citizens
on the great questions of the day. At five
o'clock, about the time the Now York cars
were expected, the crowd hud greatly increas
ed in numbers, there being not much less than
five thousand persons assembled.
At a quarter past five o'clock, an open bar
ouche, drawn by two horses, wi^s- seen coming
up the street, which contained Mr. Wobster,
Mr. Ohoate, and one or two other distinguished
gcntlomon. Ho was received with repeated
cheers.
After the cheering had subsided, Benjamin
Curtis Esq., in behalf of the citizens of Boston,
addressed Mr. Webster in a brief, hut highly
complimentary speech, in which iie alluded to
the course which Mr. W. hid recently taken
in tho Senate on the exciting questions which
woro still before tho country for settlement.
As soon ns Mr. Curtis hud concluded his
remarks, Mr. Webster rose from his seat in the
barouche to reply, which was tho sienul lor
renewed cheering. Unfortunately, for the re
porters of tho press, as well as for tho public
generally, tho so-called accommodations for
hearing, were of 9uch a limited, ill-contrived
and wretched character, that not more than one
fourth of Mr. Webster’s audience could hear
distinctly his remarks, notwithstanding the
remarknblo and well known clearness of his
enunciation.
mr. Webster’s speech.
Mr. WcbBter commenced by observing that
hewassoiry to gny that in the attempts to
settlo tho great and exciting questions which
were now agitating tho country, from one ex
treme to tho other, sufficient progress had not
been made to secure a perfect reconciliation of
conflicting interests; but still there was ground
to indulge the hope that an adjustment, satis
factory to evory section of our wido and diver
sified Union, would yet bo made.
Ho fully appreciated the kind congratula
tions of his fellow citizens—fully appreciated
the declaration that they did not come here us
parlizans.—This was not tho place nor the time
to discuss party questions.
He had in his own humble way mado an ef
fort to conciliate—to calm the excited stnto of
feeling which agitated the public mind of ihe
North and of the South—and to restore to the
federal government the ability to conduct its af
fairs, as heretofore, with effective unity. It
could not bo concealed, for the fact was evi
dent to all, that it was out of the power of
■ Congross to legislate for the general interest of
tho whole country, until such measures should
first be adopted as would hnvo a direct tendency
to allay that excitement which all patriots must
deprecate.
Ia this condition of things—in'this peculiar
situation of affairs—he had thought, that tho
Commonwealth of Massachusetts would have ap
proved of all honest endeavors to allay exis
ting dissentions, and that public sentiment
evory whore, irrespective of locality, would
approvo tho efforts such as he hud alluded to.
Ho trusted that in these expectations ho should
not be disappointed ; but, however that might
be, it wasjhis intention to persevere in tho courso
of pacification which he had commenced, re
gardless of consequences, so fur as related to
him personally.
Under no circumstanco would he give tho
slightest countenance to locnl agitations which
threatened, in his opinion, to sever tho Union.
“May my tongu'e cleave to the roof of my
mouth,” continued Mr. Webster, in a tone of
exceeding, animation, “before I give counten
ance to any agitations of this kind.” When he
returned to his seat in the Senate, ho should
talers' tho earliest occasion to express his opin
ions fully on this and kindred subjects.
' There was, he regrotted to say, the greatest
degree of prejudice and misapprehension exis
ting in the putdic mind, in reference to many
questions now before Congress. He would
mention, for example, that concerning the sur
render of fugitive slaves. There were obliga
tions imposed upon every officer of the federal
government—obligations imposed by the
sanctity of an oath—which could not be disre
garded nor slightingly performed. Agreeable
dutieB required no efforts to perform, hut when
disagreeable duties had to he discharged in
opposition to strong personal feelings, then it
was that tho faith and virtue of the public
officer were tried.
The question now was, whether old Massa-
setts—intellectual in character:—of the high-
moral sentiments—rigid in her sense of jus
ce—a State that has never swerved from tho
path of rectitude and honor—whether she
would, in this her day of trial, stand to tho
truth ns it existed, against not merely tempta
tion, but against her own prejudices. She had
conquered u sterile soil and an unfriendly cli
mate. She had conquered every body’s pre
judices. and the question now to determine
was, whether she would conquer her own.
This was the question which lie had now to
ask.
He had not stepped backward”—ho had
abandoned no old positions. He had underta
ken to restore peace where distraction reign
ed—to pour oil on the troubled waters—to
make tho people realise the peril of their sit
uation, and by inculcating a true spirit of com
promise and concession, avert all threatening
dangers. He dirt not wish to seo this great
confederacy of States bound together by mero
legal ties, but by those common sympathies
which bound kindred hearts together. What
ho most desired to see was an all-pervading
love of our gldrious Union, which should be
felt-ns warmly in tho North ns in the South—in
the cold granite hills of New England, as in
our far off possessions on the Pacific.
[There was very little enthusiasm manifested
during the delivery of Mr. Webster’s speech,
owing, probably, to tho disadvantages under
which the crowd labored, in not. being ablo to
hear distinctly. Besides, the people were very
tnucb annoyed by tho rattling of a cart, loaded
with iron, which, it is said, was engnged by
somo of Mr. W’s free soil friends, to make ns
much noise during the delivery of tho speech ns
possible. Mr.W. spoke about twenty minutes
When he commenced speaking, bouquets were
showered upon him by the fair inmates of tho
Revere House, who occupied every window,
and whoso gay and lovely nnpeorance lent a pe
culiar charm nnd grace to tho whole scene]—

OP A terrible case of barbarity at sea was
recently brought heforo the city magistrates of
Baltimore. Captain Wm. R. Gardner and his
first mate, Henry Humphreys, of tho brig
Frances Jane, wero accused by their crew with
heating tho cook to death on tho outward-bound
passage—a colored man, named David Thomp
son. On the second day out lie was accus
ed of boing impudent, nnd was tied up and
lashed with a rope until tho blood streamed
from his hack. A few days afterwards they ac
cused him of putting sea water in the victuals
he was cooking, when a bucket of potato par
ings nnd gurhngo was biought out, which the
captain ordered him to eat, and they both stood
over him und beat him with rope’s ends when
ever lie ceased eating, nnd actually heat him
until he fe'l exhausted on the deck. He was
then ordered into the caboose, hut, being una
ble to move, was dragged there by the mate,
whero ho was shortly afterwurds found by tho
second mate, perfectly dead. Tho accused
were hound over in tho sum of $2,000 each, to
answer at tho next term of the United States
district court.

Mr. Webster nnd the Ncxv-York Tribune
The New-York Tribune has opened the flood
gates of its abuse upon Mr. Webster for
patriotic courso in the Senate on the Compro
mise question. It would seem that this rabid
fanatic is not willing that any adjustment of tho
sectional difficulty shall take place that does no*
utterly compromise tho Soutl$ Measuring the
spirit of the Southern people by his own base
standard, seems to be impressed with tho idea
thut because we have not imitated his example,
and raised a whirlwind of excitement here on
thfr'subjcet, and because a few recreant parti-
zans and party presses have been found among
us to denounco any action on the part of the
South, thut wo are cubdblo of base submission
to whatever outrage it may pleuso the abolition
influence in Congress to inflict upon our rights
in tho settlement of this question. A compro
mise of Southern rights aitd interests for no
equivnleht hut peace is not sufficient to satisfy
the editor of tho Tribune. ‘ Ho insists upon an
abject surrender of all thut the South has claim
ed in this controversy, and is. for sacrificing any
and every Northern man who dares to accept
anything less.
Mr. Webster-is a sincere friend of the Un
it. As such ho cannot act with tho Seward
and Benton faction, knowing, as he does, that
tho injustice they contemplate would drive the
South to resistenca. It is to be hoped, there
fore, that ho will not permit himself to be drawn,
either by the false representations of the anti-
Southern press hero, or by the abuse of such
abid fanatics as Greeley tit tho North, from the
patriotic stand taken in his great speech on this
subject, which met the approbation of moder
ate, patriotic, reflecting men of all sections.
Since writing the above, we have read Mr.
Webster’s speech on the occasion of his recep
lion in Boston, which will be found in another
column of our paper to-day. The friends of
Union at the South will rejoice at the manly
tone of that speech in which ho emphatically
declares to tho faces of his constituents that he
will “ tread no step backward,” thus prov
ing to his revilers that he is not to he intimida
ted by their denunciations, nor made to swerve
in the slightest degree from the line of duty and
patriotism which ho has marked out to pur
sue. He is entitled to all honor, not less for
his patriotic sentiments than for tho manly in
dependence with which they were uttered in
tho face of the vorv men who hsvo resolved to
sacrifice him for his devotion to the Constitu
tion.
Latest from Florida.
The New Orleans Picayune has advices from
Tarnjra Bov to the 17th ult. Tho steamer Col.
Clay had just arrived at Tampa from Charlotte
Harbor, with Capt. Casey, tho Indian agent,
on board, who states that he has had aa inter
view with Billy Bowlegs, and that the Indians
positively refuse to remove from Florida. On
Capt. Casey asking Billy Bowlegs why he had
formerly told hint that they would remove, ho
answered, ‘‘that they wished to save their
crops, and that they wero now prepared for
any emergency ; also, that his kindred had
been buried in Floridu, nml ho wished to bo
buried with them.” He likowise said that lie
wished tobe friondly with tho whites, hud no
desiro to molest or troublo them in nnv way,
and that if the United States wished tho In
dians to remove further south in I' lorida they
would not object to it, hut they would not leave
the country.” Finally, “if the whites wish tho
Indians to remove, they must in the first place
find them.”
Athenaeum.—The theatrical corps arrived
lust night, from Charleston, and will re-open
the Arhonreum to-night, with Dombcy <$• Son,

Ka'ymond, it will bo remembered, is the origi
nal Toots, which character he personated more
than two hundred nights in New York. Many
who have seen him in this part were almost
constpained to doubt whether Toots was writ-
ton for him, or he was horn for Toots. Wo
hnvo no doubt that Dickons would at once re
cognize him by his vest.

Poisoning in Marietta.—An affair of the
most shocking nature has recently been brought
to light in Marietta. It appears that the wife
of a man named Wade died on Monday of last
week, and that on the following Thursday mor
ning Wn3e was married to a woman named
McLane. This very naturally gave rise to a
strong suspicion that there had been foul play 1
Mrs. Wade was disinterred on the next Satur
day and subjected to a post mortem examina
tion. Tho result was the detection of poison
in the stomach. Wade, who lm9 been arres
ted, was known to have purchased a quantity
of arsenic a few days before the death of his
wife.
Bank of tlic State of Georgia.
We have to acknowledge the receipt of a
pamphlet, giving “A statement of the affairs of
the Bank of tho State of Georgia, at the Semi
annual settlement, on the 30th day of March,
1830.”
This statement of the affairs and business of
a leading Banking Institution of our State, is
a very handsome one, and must prove satisfac
tory to its Stockholders.

Mrs. Kemble’s New Comedy.
comedy of Mrs. Fanny Kemble was produced
at lite Astor Place Opera House, New York, on
Monday night lust. It is entitled the “Duke’
Wager”—and the Sunday Courier gives us tho
following inkling of tho plot :
The plot hinges upon a wager mnde by
certain duke that he wil, lin a specified time
and in a specified manner, overcome thechnst
ity of a certain nobly born young lady, and the
iteresting part of tho 9tory is, that the lover
of the young lady hero referred to is the holder
of the stakes. The proof that the duke suc
ceeds is to he that he shows himself at the
rtiaiden’s window at night nnd drops a hand
kerchief. The feat—that is, the appearance at
the window, and-the dropping of the handker
chief—is performed, and tltt* consequence

tho play was, on the whole, successful on the
stage, and that “the universal expression is
very strongly in its favor." From this we may
infer thnt it suits tho taste of the sylabubdom of
New York. But a correspondent of tho Mir

the authoress in pantaloons. He says the come
ly is founded upon, not to Say translated from,

Return of the Firemen.—On Saturday
evening, the Oglethorpe Fire Company, and

They all express themselves highly gratified
with their visit, and tho kind and hospitable

such an institution.
* In a fuller report of Mr. Webster’s remarks,
which we have seen in the N. Y. Coinmercisl, since
the above was in tvpe, he says : “ In the meantime
let me repeat I tread ho step backward. I am devoted
to the restoration of peace, harmony, concord, out of
Congress, and such a degree of mutual co-operutton
in Congress, as may enable it to carry on once more
ihe legftimBte business of the Government. The Un

some of tho drawers containing old papers, hut
finding nothing there, tried his skill on the iron
safe. Failing to open tho safe, he loft tho buil

More of the Knocking Spirits.
As we anticipated the rapping spirits are

its frightened occupants. The ghost was civil-
