rISpeskiug of the letter, recently published,
of Mr.. WEBSTER, 20 the City Government of
Boston, relative TO the late Shadrach affair, the
Atlas Of that city says
We are glad to see in the letter of Mr.. Web
3 ser to tie Mayor OF Boston, that the citizens
Of Boston were fully eXonerated from being
concerned in The late rescue, and that it was
San entire SURPRISE upon them The Atlas
was, we believe, the only paper in B )ston that
= considered the proclamation Of the President
unnecessary and uncalIed for y that the res
, cue was momentary outbreak, for which the
citizens of Boston were in no way responsible.
We were glad to find our views endorsed by the
President communicated by Mr.. Webster
to the Mayor Of the CITY. We have no doubt
that the President would have withheld his
E proclamation, had he received dls pass onate
account of the matter, instead of the 'Levying
; War;" and What is to be done ?" missives that
i were sent by parties from this city. We did
/ not ike the bad pre- eminence given the city by
. the proclamation, and demurred against it,
We consider the letter OF MT. Webster 10 the
. Mayor, as taking precisely the same view Of
- the matter that had been taken By the Atlas
And also by the great mass OF Wing Papers
