ers Of the "spontaneous'' nomination, viii probar
bly, be called, and regular bolt" be shut on the
party's prospects The compliment that is ex
pected Is the great mans nomination for the Presi-
dency, and the endorsement of his public course,
including, presume, his endorsement Of the VIII
mot proviso and the Fugitive Slave law, of free
trade, and high protective tariff of specie cur
rency, and q system Of banking under which six
shilling bills are issued, and suudry other lit
tie inconsistencies, not to be thought OF In
these enlightened times by liberal men. The
chances Of q whig demonstration in favor OF Mr..
Webster will be greatly increased by the occurrence
Of any quarrel in the democratic conventsn, as 1t is
hoped that a coalition (not wicked OF course)
may be effected between the "hunkers' Of both
sections; and have the best Of for assert
ing that some, at least, of the democratic "hunk-
ers, are en- gagged in carrying out certain move
ments that they have "covenanted and agreed" to
perform for certain Considerations" received from
Leading webster men, and the promise Of more
The number Of these men is not large; but as the
mother OF mischief, according to the old saying is
no bigger than the midge's wing, they will be foun
quite equal 70 doing harm to their old associates.
! speak OF 1t as fact within my own personal know
Ledge, that overtures have been made from some of
the highest financial quarters in this city, to per-
sons connected with the democratic press in the
State pursue such course as should aid in build
ing up Webster democratic party. Every eff
fort, indeed, has been made by the Webster
men to ootan position that shall enable them
to place themselves at the head Of a formida-
bic political organization in Massachusetts,, and
thus, in any event, be able to have large political
influence. AS 1 have told you before, they
have small hopes Of making their great leader
President; but, if they are powerful at home, and
General Scott shall be chosen they will receive his
"most distinguished consideration - but, if they
shall be weak they will be treated as all weak par
ties treated-eiher wit cold neglect, studied
contempt Should the democrats obtain the ma
tional government then the Webster men, if strong
here, control the State and distribute Senator
ships, Sc, until better days for them shall come
about, and place large prizes within their reach.
You may be assured that all the game that is p n.y.
ing here has the good of some others besides Mr.
Webster IN view.
A most lachry NOSE appeal hss been made throu Oh
the Boston Courier, the chief Webster organ, for
the free solers to back to the whig ranks and
take a share in the privilege of making Mr. Web
ster President-l mean share in the defeat that
such an attemp, is certain to meet with. Thus,
even the most jealous defenders Of the Fugitive
Slave lsw-on paper-are ready to beg, like
mendicants, for the help of those whom they
have, until lately, charged with being disunionists
They beg of them, as the sinking Caesar begged Of
Cassius and if the free soil Cassius should aid
them will be only to put them to death in another
way hereafter. ALGoNA.
