THE TIMES,. Hr. Webster's Speech at Springfield. The Springfield Republican, of Thursday morning, brings us the following ketch of Mr. Webster's remarks at the Whig Stale Convention, held in that town on Wednesday, which we hasten to lay before our readers, in preference to waiting fr a more full report in the Boston papers: The distinguished Senator then mmmer.ced an able, argumentative and unusually interesting and important speech, whic'n was of an hour and a half's dura

tion, tie aennea nts position upon the war and thequestijns growing out of it, with distinctness, boldness and firmness. After some statesman-like comments upon the character of Governments, the duty of allegiance, the Constitution so far as it relates to the war making poer,and the call for a fi m discharge of his duty which the present nomination of our National officers, makes upon every patriot, he proceeded to the War topic. The crisis now Bthtind needs considerate, energetic and constitutional action. But he deprecated violent movements. Violent councels are weak councels. Violent language weak language. Our boldest resolutions must recommend themselves by their strength, decorum, dignity and respect. It is nut the noisiest wa ers that are the deepest. Nor is it the spirit which is inclined to overpower "the dangers at their distance the most certain to withstand them when they approach. Mr. Webster held this Mexican war to be unconstitutional in its origin and found t"t on pretrext. The laws of nations divide motives for war into those which are good nd those which are vicious. Those which are commenced and carried on for renown, conquest and similar objects are virions. There mav be sufficient causes for War, between two tia'ims, but not ood motives fur one. Causes require something else; motives, good motives are requisite. The character of the waragaiiii-l Mexico is vicious; it is a war of pretexts. The real motive of it is not distinctly avowed. There are three pretexts all of them unfounded on which this war is sought to be placed by its originators and defenders. The President in his Message to Congress. May 11,1847, puts it on the fid that the Mexicans have invaded Ameiican territory and shed American Wood. In my opinion this is not correct. As early as January, 1S46, our army was advanced beyond the Mexican boundaries of Teins, and upon the left bank of the Rio Giande occured the first hostilities and thf fi.st shed ling of American and Mexican blood. Was this the invasion of American territory and the spilling of An;ic4n Mnod on such territory? It wis s ijl claimed by the I'. S. Exee uiive not by Congress and also claimed by the Mexican Government as much apart of her territory as the capital itself, and it was moreover in her actual possession. Our troops were marched into a country claimed and occupied by the Mexicans is not this war on our part? The President's statement was not cor

tect in point of fact, and cannot be niadej'arm language Bs W?H s in character. so. This is a pretext. Other causes were ("(IU Salas, under Sinta Anna's pror.unbrought forward after the war cmmenc- j riamento, overthrew Paredes, and he in ed. One was, that Mexico would not I ,,,rn was banished.

tnnl caue of war ill n Executive wai? j Congress would not declare war on such grounds. At any rate it was not a cir cr.mjtatice that called for such speedy action that the Executive could not lay iibefore Congress, then before him. It i but another of the unfounded pretexts on which the war is sought to be defended. Still another and the third of these pretexts is that Mexico has declined lo Py her debts due citizens of this country. This was not put forth in the act of Concress declaring war to exist. It is an af ter thought. This matter of debt w as of l'ng standing, many sessions of Congress had been held during the existence of the debt. Yet no war was declared o:t this ground. And if it was a cause for the it surely afforded no pretence lor an Executive war. as this is. It is a pretext ! 'id nothing else but a pretext. hat then was the object of the war? do not pretend to possess more, if mi much, sagacity than other men; but to me the answer to this question is as plain as turnpike, as visible as the sun that now fhines upon us. An eminent Statesman perhaps the most eminent of the pmy of the administration; indeed he is so eminent that the wonder is the administratiou does not belong to him; instead of he to the administration: this gentleman. I mean Mr. Calhoun, declared at the last session of Congress, that if there had been no annexation of Texas there would have been no war; and that the immediate cause of the war was the ordering, by the Executive, he it remembered, of our troops to adance from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande. Hence this question is settled - no Annexation, no War. I am no apologist for Mexico. I have Loor opinion of the Mexican government. I pity the people of the country; and should pity them the more If they knew the state they were m. It is the worst governed of any country in the orld, that pretends to be civilized. It has been for 20 years the prey of every military upstart, who had money enough get up a miserable army. From 1838, when was the battle of San Jacinto, to :

I have lhe recojnized by our own and other govern- satisfaction. of knowing that from the first ments. Mexico had no ground of com- j intimation of the ptoposition for the anPlaint in the annexation of Texas; we are' nexation of Texas I have opposed it. Ten 'he party to complain we did not want years since, at a political meeting in New Texas. Bui ihe did take nflVner; she per- York, I spoke upon the subject and spoke

slated in churning Texas as her province, long a it had !een an independent terri. tory end broke i ff teiins of smity with

our government, calling home her Ministers and refusing to receive our own. But this was not war very far fiom it. I contend that the precise of ject of Hie war was simply this; Paredes became President in March, 1845. Sauta Anna was exiled to Cuba, upon what is called half pay,in June of the same year. But he was discontented with his residence there, and I have sliong suspicions that his half-pay was never paid. Through 1845, this state of things continued; matters between the two governments were unsettled and unsatisfactory. Mexico held back and was warlike in her tone. In January 1846, the U. S. Army w as ordered to advance to the Rio Grande; in order, says Mr. Buchanan, to act as Con" gress should au'horize in case of the rejection of Mr. Siidell, then in Mexico. At this lime C8tne forth rumors that Santa Anna w-as more favorable to peace,1 that is more willing to accommodate on the Annexation difficulty than Paredes; and on that very day in January; a mes sage was sent to Com. Conner of he Gulf squadron, saying that if Snnta Ar.nacsme that way to let him into Mexico. How came it to suppose that he was likely to come that wa3 ? About the same time, Alexander Slidell, brother to the Minister to Mexico, was sent to Cuba by the Government. At this time, also, a person named Crown was an Agent of the United States there. It wa a matter of ceneral conversation in Cnha that Santa Anna had been invited to return to Mexico by the U. S. authorities. The President said Paredes was the obstacle in the way t.f settling our difficulties. The inference is plain, strong. On (Le llthof May, war actually commenced. On the 1st June a proclamation, prepared at Washington, was sent to Gen. Tailor, lobe distributed broadcast throughout Mexico, as fast as he progressed into the country. This purported to give the causes of the war to the Mexicans. It set forth that He are friends of Mexico; that the war was waged on account of the debts, end the rejection of Mr. Slidell by the then existing Government, and a supposed declarUon of Paredes, of which I never heard or cuuM ever learn any other authority. The fact is not stated, intimated or alluded to, that was in the act of War. It was said that! we came as friends.and that we desired to keep the Mexican Government from falling into the hands of an European Prince, a proposition to which effect it was thrown out was on foot. Some lime in the same m nth, June, Santa Anna went to Vera Crrrz. parsed into :!:e interior, issued his proclamation or pronuncinmento. This, too, said he came as a friend, to put down tyrants ar.d avert the impending monarchy. The idea and language are slnkincly like those set forth through Gen. Taylor. Whether Santa Anna borrowed from Mr. Polk, or Mr. Polk, borrowed from Santa Anna, or whethei it was an extraordinary coincidence of thought on the pari of two great geniuses. I will not attempt to say. Sufficient that thev are remarkably simiKnow. Hsr, more d. refill and bloody than ever, raged, and is now only terminated by an armistice, how lorg to continue no one knows. With equal mortification and regret did I read in the last message of the Presid ent. the admission that his object in assisting Santa Anna to return to Mexico was to overthrow the existing Government, and raise up another more favora ble to cnii purposes. He hoped to get out of the difficulty, growing out of annexation, bv fomenting a revolution in Mexico! How undignified does this ap pear in su h a nation as ours a nation of, twenty millions of people professing to j be goveruec by the noblest and purest of motives setting ourselves up as models for the w otld! A general understanding between San la Anna and the President is evident from the facts 1 have stated. Ssnta Anna put himself at the herd of the Armies, but instead of moving toward Teace, moved towards V ar. The President can have the satisfaction of know ing, that in the many severe and bloody battles in Mexico, he has had the choosing of the Commanders on both sides. The precise object of the War, then,; was to establish a government in Mexicoj by the restoration of Santa Anna, which ' should ield to us the Annexation f Tex-! as. How far this has been accomplished j i already loo well known, unfmiunalely. j That was the precise object and origin of the war, and all the rest are prttexts. I recall the words v Mr. Calhoun Without Annexation there would have been no war. I concur with your own well and forcibly expressed sentiments i on tho floor of the Representative Cham-j ber (here the speaker turned to Mr Ash-j mtin the presiding officer.) last winter; , and agree with you m saying that the di-i reel consequence of this act of iniquity i (annexation) is the war we are no engaged in. Mr. Calhoun was right; can, any suppose that we could have gone to! war for the debts, or because Mr. Slidell j was rejected as Minister Plenipotentiary ; and Envoy Extraordinary? It is a war in which Mexico has the grievance and we i strike the first blow. She has the Dromi-

Mr. Webster then made this declaiatiou I never have, f never shall, I sever ; will vote, for any further annej-Dliun to thin country with a slace representation , vpon it or in it. j Much has been said of late concerning the '-W ilmoi Proviso." The sentiment it embraces is a just one; but it is not a sentiment to form a new paity upon. Theie is not a man in this assemblage, who docs not hold it in his purity, as strongly as any other man here. No Massachusetts Whig can ch.im pieferenceover another Massachusetts Whig in regard to it. The sentiments of the Provi?o are not new. I approve of them, and have long done so. Did I not commit myself in its fa or in 1S3 8? And have I ever departed fiom it? 1 m not quite ready to consent that these new dis overers shall take out

even ii ine new territory to he added to our Union s-hou!d be free, I shou'd deprecate any great extension. I think we now have a large extent oftenitory. I do not know that we can preserve our identity if we extend it from the Penobscot to the Rio Grande to Californiamay be to the South Pole. Republican Governments must have an identity of laws, characters, usages, for self pteservalion. Notsowiih monarchies or despotisms; the Czar of Russia can govern one portion of his subjects by one code of lan s, and another who are differently located and possess a different language with another code. It is a verj danger ejus expeiinunt to sdd a territory to the Union equal in size to the original thirteen Slates. Supprse this territory makes but 10 or even 5 new States. These being sparely settled, and their representation, in part, or not, asm.iny be, a slave one they will be entitled to but 5 Representees in Congress, while they will have lOSenalors. Does this not break up the checks, the balance, the real spirit tf our Constitution? There are some, I know, w ho consider it our duty to spread our institutions over the whole world, if possible. 1 hey consider that by ss doing we confer a blessing on mankind. While I sincerely trust that human and civil liberty and free institutions may extend ever all nations, I do not think we should be desirous to impose upon them our distinct forms. Let them prepared for lilerty. for republican government, and they will seek and gain ihem,pi'lhaps-moch different, and it is possible, improved forms from ours. We cannot make a fre citizen out of a person not ficcusio;nrd to self government. He must be fi'ted to be free hefore he can become a just fieemun: a i:-j izen of a R public. When in the State Department, said Mr. Wtbster, it was represet ted to me that it was very important to our ctmrneiciai interests that a jort in California, or a pl.ice where Americans could inter and do business as'n one of their own cities should he secured. I therefore entered into negotiation for such an object at the port of San Francisco. But I entertained no idea of adding new States or new territoiies to the Union. Peace may soon come. I hope to hear of i to morrow. It may brirg real peace: it may bring the seeds of strife, and opfn new danger to the country. It is impossible totell tefore-hsnd what will come, or how ii will be recessarv to act in the event that results. Lst winter the Whigs in the United State Set ate both fu m the North and South, voted, with perhaps one exception, against any more territory being added to the Union. The Democratic Senators from both sections voted the opposite way. The northern Democracy wish to carry on the War. get territory and lei it into the Union as States, but make thm free. The Southern Democracy take the sme course, except that they would have the new territory slave territoiy. So agreeing as to the prosecution of the War and the addition of more territory they unite in favorii g these propositions, and would settle afterwards the dispute as to the new Slates being slave or free. I hnve not seen ore t expectable, fairminded man of the South, who objects to the North using all its powers to prevent the increase of the slave power. I have found none so unreasonable as to dispute our riaht to this. With ihe same firmness with which I would resist any augmentation nf slavery, I shall not endanger the Constitution by inteifering with slavery as it is established at present in the States. Whal is established is fixed. We

cannot go back. But for the future I am!01

for looking out for our rights. Some of the people of ihe South make one objection to the Wilmot Proviso, and that is, that the new territory, if added, will be settled by Northern families, who represent free labor, and who will live by their own lal or; while the people of the South cannot emigrate to these new states, because they will not be permitted to take their slaves with them. Hence the additional territory will be for the bene fit of ihe free population only. But these people should remember that the present representation of ihe slave States, is an admilted inequality, and by extending slae states, that inequality will re in a great degree increased and strengthened. I am no prophet, nor the son of a proph et. but were I to attempt to prophecy, the last thing thai I should dare predict would be the course f the Northern Democracy ... .. , . . r h-ssubrct Some or ihoITI doubtless will go wuh the W ilmot Piov,so principie, but there can be no doubt that the eeneral sense of the party is against ii. The proceedings of the late Locofoco Slate Convention prove thi fully. Are weqmte certain that tbe democratic mem-

hers of Congress from New Hampshire and Maine will maintain our position Bgiinst the Slave power? Slave rr-pie-sentation in a political point of view, is an

all important subjt'ct. The mora! view is great I know, but it is with the Turner that I have only to do in my capacity as legislator. The danger of u mention it is imminent, the result of doing so fare!, and it will receive my earnest opposition. If peace comes how we ran deal ith the treaty must be deferied till r g t it. and see what it is. Suppose that we have no peace, the armistice broken, the nr in renewed progress, and Congress as sembles. What is lobe done? Unless the President shall make out a case, show Congress that no purpose of acquisition. no purpose not directl connected with the welfare i f the Union, is the ol jn aim er.a oi tins war.tre ought to go against any more S'ljiplirs to carry it on. It is I the duty of Representatives, if they b3lieve a war is waged for imoroner mi no follow liim. He would say to those Army officers, v ho have distinguished the mselves in this strife, that War w aged for vicious purpos - es tarnishes the lustre of victorious arms. and darkens if it does not blot w hat would otherwieene a glorious pige in our Na - Clonal History.

Mr. M Tavish. who has lately been elected to rcrr'srnt. the county of DuntUlk in the British parlimer.t, is a sen of Mr. M'Tavish. British Consul in Baltimore; and though a native of thotcity, nd born of an American mother, he is an Englithman, bv birth, even as much as if he hud been born in her Majesty's Palace. The circumstance of his boing by birth an Araericsn, and his descent from t de late Cnarlcs Carroll of Carrolton, will, perhspi?, add interest to the followirg brief notice of bis family, and his own career: Charles Carroll M'Tavieh was born in His father John M'Tavish. ut present Drtisli Consul in thiit f.ity, u.arri ed tho youngest daughter cf the bite Mrs Caton, the eldest daughter of the dictinguisl ed Carroll of Carrollmn, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Carroll of Carnllton had but three children; his first born was a son. named after him. who tlied in the prime or life, leaving a widow a several children, the eldest of whom is Co!. Charles Carroll, mw residing on Carroll's Manor, about 14 miles from Baltimore; one of Lis daughters married tlio Hon. Richard Bayfird, late United Slates Senator from IMaivare another marlied Mr. Jackson, of Philadelphia, and her sisters also married I'htladelphians. The eldest daughter of Charles Carroll married a Mr. Caton. and left four ilaushters, the eldest of whom married the Marquis of Wellesley, elder brother of the Duke of Wellington, and during the rign of the late king ol England sbe held her levees in Dubhn, when the Marquis was Lord Lieutenant of 1 reland. At tbe death of the Marquis, which took place in 142. she was lett with a moderate income, altogether insufficient to keep un tha state of ber rank: but through the infi'ience ot the Puke of Wellington the tin vn granted her a handsome pension, and gavfl her a residence at Windsor Castle, with some sinecure office.
