nraTug FE1RYDs OF Mr.. WEBSTER held a
meeting In Faneul Hail on "Wednesday evening.
1t was very slenderly attended-so much SO that
our amiabie friend Buckingham of the Courier, in
calling the meeting to order at quarter past
eight, consoled himself and the meeting for its
thinness by the grim jocoseness of quoting this
verse from Watts:
Broad is the road that leads 70 death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows psrrow path,
With here and there traveller"
Mayor Brimrner was called to the Char, and
eight very respectable gentlemen chosen under
officers, when Mr.. c. G. LoRINc spoke in COM
mendation OF the public services of MIR. Web
ster, especially in negotiating the Ashburton
Treaty He closed with several resolutions, Of
which the following is alone important:
'' Resoired That from all the past of Mr.. Websters life
we derive the assurance that will approve himself equal
every call Of future duiy that great tasks OF patfioc
craftsmanship remain for him perform; that among these
of the highest difficult and most urgent is the work
Of attempting restore the currency TO uphold The credit
and the commercial relations OF the country! and
10 .4mercan Industry in aAs forms and IN all
ITS fields hc'mon@ed adequate and steady fRoTEcTios
aud that yet this grand reniinng labor
warded by still wider usefulness and crowned by still
desirable fame
This is, we suppose, what the Journal OF CON-
merce considers evidence that the Bostonians
have become convinced that '' Protection is de-
Iusion.''
A Committee having been chosen to transmit
the resolutions TO MIR. Webster, it was, on motion
of Mr.. r. B. REED,
Resoiced That the same Committee he instructed 10 in

WIN. STuRGIs, Esq. then addressed the meeting
in favor Of the resolves, after which they were
unanimously adopted; and the meeting, at 20
minutes before lOo'clock, adjourned
Such was the Webster demonstration in
Boston.
~ The (Portland) Eastern ArguS infers from
our remark that " nine-fenths of the Wings have
solemnly resolved to vote next year for Mr.. Clay
or nobody" that we admit the other tenth to be
opposed to him.-But that is not within mile of
the fact. Nine-tenths of the other tenth prefer
Mr.. Clay to any other man, and undoubhngly
intend to support him and no other.
We are sorry to perceive that our friend of the
Argus, Justly eatcd by our praise of his former
prophetic achievement, undertakes to prophesy
again, and this time with deplorable i'll success.
He begins we
"w. have heretofore said, aud now admit, ths, Mr.
Clay has great personal popularity among his poiitical
friends and that will require activity and diligence the
part OF the Democracy to defeat him.
Very right, sir, only not quite enough so.-But
who could imagine that, directly after this the
man proceeds to cypher out the defeat Of this very
hard-to.beat candidate by four or fre hundred
thousand rotcs., What melancholy break down
Elphalet says:
~ Bat he [Clayl wH be defeated Look the facts
sriend Horace The Bank question the Land Distribution
question the question of the Carrency and Exchanges and
ahe Tariff question: all deadset against him. In truth
fhe entire business aud labor Of the country are against
him," &c. &c
And piece after he adds
.'Mr Clay's friends the South much opposed TO
apotce,iye Tariff and United States Bank as MIR. Web
eau be-"
Why, friend slim as you are at prophecy, you
are absolutely worse at stating what purport to
be facts How much Mr.. Webster can be- op-
posed to every thing he has hitherto supported, is
not now in point; but roe defy you to name any
Wig paper or prominent friend of Mr.. Clay
at the South ,oho is hostile to United States
Bank. Name if you can On the other hand,
there are sererai Loco-Foco candidates runaing
az that section toh0 arop themselves In taror OF
such Bank. So on the Tariff while the Wings
arc almost universally satisfied with the Tariff as
1t is, we have Just received the leading Loco. Fo.

in favor of Protective Duties, and rebuking tie
New-Orleans Tyler paper for advocating Free
Trade in Sugar. Neighbor, look at home.

The Loco Focos of henighted Sussex Co. hello
