Now for the United States Gazette. Brother
Chandler, not having the fear OF mahogany
stocks before hi, eyes, thus gives has d'rec'
opinion:
From the u. s. Gszeitf
"For ourself, we have to say that-we 90 against
the nomination Of MIR. Webster, IS he nOo aands WIN
the party, and only for him when The feptesen.a5
of that party think It expedent to nominate him. and
state the grounds Of their opinions we go 'or 'ne
old and faithful servants OF the party, VINO haso
turned TO no right hand left hand reflections, nor
followed after the enemies OF the party .. long 10
there was personal advantages 10 be deryea.
Mr.. Webster is tub that stands on It's own
bottom. How would The Gazette have him
stand? Under a milestone and be crushed, IN
stead of tIeadiDg on it /? That Mr.. Webster is
man of some physical dimensions, as well as
mental, IS true; but that only renders II the
harder TO turn him.
We will close this "eveBtfd history" by a
word o. SO from Mr. Webslers own oTgant
From the Boston Courier
ave know nothing Of his views of the subject,
but have no idea that he would consent under exist
ing circumstances. Nor do we believe that his many
friends would be pleased With the nomination They
consider him too great man TO play second hddie 10
Mr. Clay, any body else. There IS only one ofhce
within the gift Of the people which he ought to ac-
cept and that is the Presidency Until this is tender
ed 10 him, a mission TO England, he cannot do bet
ter than enjoy his o,ium dgnitaf. These are our
sentiments whether they are Mr. Webster's or not,
cannot say"
Now, when Boston editor, of a diplomatic
bent, says "we know nothing" or we cannot
say" il may be taken for granted he knows all
about il, aud says what is sure to be correct.
