BOSTON, HOn1sJr DrN n
The Wing meeting q, Abingdon today IS 'aFse
and enthusiastic. as might have been anici Pa'ea
from the name Of the Orator Over 1000 persons
assembled at al early hour, and organized BY ine
appointment Of BEsyANIS HOBART, Es4 as Cns'F-
man. with the usual assistant oacefs-
The chief feature Of the day was the speech Of
", Wvy.rtR. Of which send you telegraphic
outline
The practical question now before the people
.aid Mr WEssrER, mas bat two SIDES On one
hand the election Of Gen. Taylor and the ascen-
dency Of Wing pnnciples-On the other, the ele-
vs,ion Of Gen. Csss and the consequent success Of
the principles Of the party Of which he IS the
avowed exponent. On genera principles he Mr..
VI had opposed the nomination Of Gen. Taylor
By the Wing Convention bat this opposition was
not founded in any want Of confidence In his char
acter or capacities man. He believed him %
be a man Of solid. practical good sense IN every
way honorable Of patriotic intentions, and n
WHtg Il is TOO ate, az this hour. % TAX Of oo-
iections % bis nomination. Mr. WEBsTER thought
the objection that Gen. Taylor had accepted other
nominations was very unreasonable, 70 say the
east He hoped that Gen T. would receive a
large support in States that were not Whis but
our main reliance should be on the REGULAR old
fashioned Whig votes The Whg States would
say o. Wing voters everywhere Overcome
your atsiaction--renquish your preferences,
however honorable and ardent-forget your dis
appointments. however poignant and enduring
and ION US as one man ~ strike united and ei-
fective blow for the maintenance Of the good OLD
Wing Cause and the enduring welfare OF your
Country Among the great principles now m the
political balance were Adherence 10 the Consti-
tuition Limitation Of Executive Power jast and
benefcent Protection TO American Industry hon
orabe and peaceful Foreign Policy all Of which
would be defeated by the election Of Gen Cas- As
Chief Magistrate Of the Nation. Mr. WEBSTER
mentioned, with great praise, the letter Of Hari-
son Gray OTIS and passed high eulogy upon his
character He censured in severe terms those
Wings who were attempting 10 defeat the cleo
ton Of Wing Governor and Congressmen Do
Massachusetts by using their influence IN favor Of
the nominees Of the Buffalo Convention and con-
Guided hi. remarks by declaring his firm convic-
ton that an unfnching and jealous support Of
the candidates Of the Wig party was the only
means OF preserving the country from pernlcous
II not a fatal Administration.
Mr. Webster. IN reference 20 the Free Soil
said that their great ostensble prn-
ciple was an old but living doctrine of the Wing
party and if all Wings were now, abandoning
n legitimate principle OF their own faith for the
same article in another creed, 20 go over TO the
Buffalo Ticket instead Of doing their manifest duty
by voting for Gen. Taylor, they would not only
make a change Of name but would enact the an
paralleled monstrosity Of placing Martin Van b.
ZEN at the head Of the Wing party
Tho Hon Senator speech was listened 10 with
close attention, and received with great satisiac-
ton. Yours. :.
