II evident from the above extracts that President
Fillmore and Mr. Webster stand on the platform,
and that il was not without ample reflection and careful
preparation of common views that the President endorsed
beforehand all that Mr. Webster would say at Buffalo,
Albany. and New York As great in expounding whlg-
gerry as he is the constitution Mr. Webster was selected
make up the argument which his party deses to
obtain from the people another verdict continuing this ad
ministraton in power The excitement produced by the
celebration Of the completion of the Erie canal-an ex-
ctement made intense by the contest growing out OF the
attempt OF the wing party to increase Its influence by
that denounced by great number OF the most
eminent OF the State corrupt and unconstitutional
furnished fit occasion for the march OF the President
and his cabinet take part in well calculated
for the alebic which fuse all past political issues into
that new one which is not only TO make President out
OF single measure, but out Of that single only
as defined and explained by Mr. Fillmore.
We are TO consider, from the unbounded endorsement
obtained by Mr. Webster from Mr. Fillmore and the
great wing party that the presidential election in 1852
must turn on the orthodoxy of the great speech at Bu
falo followed up as ii to be by at Albany, one
New York. and probably at Boston, and one finally
at Richmond With this understanding promise
cheerfuy to receive into columns all that Mr. Web
ser may yet say before the dramatic exhibition is closed
in which he has 10 do much for the wing party. We
make this promise with the more confidence, since the
special organ of yesterday treasures the country that
there is not the slightest difference OF opinion between
Mr. Webster and the President The language of the
special organ is "We rejoice that Mr.. Webster took
eason make dsine, and emphatic declaration at Bu

Pile We should feel, however, little better satisfied on
this point the National Insl,gencr, distinguished

confirm what the special organ promptly asserts I'm.

which have thrown into the movements OF the President
and his cabinet the late Erie celebration an interest

lie for the ntmaon these gentlemen will doubtless feel
themselves bound TO make.
In the time, shall be prepared TO show that
whilst Mr. Webster has, with frankness, minuten.ss.
and justice credtabe him. given utteance to the
leading principles, measures, and wishes OF the wing
party, he has shown concusvey that il stands con.
demned by The grea, body Of the American people We
shall be ready 10 show that the ascendency of such
party will be only calamtous the future interests
OF the country, but that it will deroga,e from much OF
what has been done by the tried patriots of the land
heretofore TO preserve for institutions their epubli
energy and durability We venture even TO say that
Just Analysis Of the view Mr. Webster has taken OF the
compromise and slavery questions will prove that the
reelection OF Mr.. Fillmore will unsettle all that ha.
been yet done to deprive those questions Of the power Of
disturbing hereafter the peace and tranquility Of the
country.
In respect to the last two questions, it is manifest that
the position assigned by Mr. Webster to his party nd-
of action that never be sanctioned with
