From the Libcrator.
The Presidency.

On Tuesday next, the hesoiicd admirers
and profiigate supporters of DANIEL WEB.
sTER, the American lscariot nrc to convene
IN Faueuil Hall, for the purpose of nonlina-
ting him as the mos: suitable man in the
nation to succeed MLLIARD FiLLMonE, MS
President Of the United States. We are in
cincd to think that the estimate in which
they hold him is merited; for as this nation
Is unequalled for its apOstacy from principle,
aud ms no man living has been so trcache-
rous to the cause of liberty as tie aforesaid
DANIEL WEBSTER, it follows that no one is
SO well qualified TO represent the nation ms
himself, 'thc chief of sinners
But It is enough TO raise n blush on the
cheek OF every true patriot to think of the
moral degcncracy which such n convocaton
is to exhibit TO the world OH the soil of the
Pilgrim Fathers. II is said of those who
worship idols of their own workmanship,
that they that make the idols ure like unto
them; so 1t is not unjust to conclude. that
they who nre for cleyating MIR. WEBSTER to
| the Presidency are no better, in inct than
| himself Not that every one of them is giv-
EN- to equal ebrieiy or to equal iccntious
ness; but in endorsing and gloriiying him
they demonstrate that their moral insensihil
iiy is as great as his own. 1t is idle to attempt
to eXtenuate their conduct; they are acting
intelligently, aud must be held responsible
AT the tribunal of Justice.
They know that he is parasite 10 the
Slave Power; that, as il respects the ensave.
nent of three millions of people, though
colored like himself he expresses no regret
and nlanifests no slIame-and for their deIiy-
ernnce has yet TO make the first effort, to utter,
his first appeal; thai, towards all those who
are endeavoring TO make their escape from
the hell of Southern slavery, he is rs merci-
less ms n Cuban bloodhound; that he has
ayowed himself hostile even to the discussion
of slavery, and declared, in mcnnncing
manner, that such discussion must be sup.
pressed; that he is or cternizng the Fngi-
tive Slave LAW, without notifications Just
as II is, and executing it to the letter; that
his course meets the hearty approval of the
Southern kidnappers, and all that is riotous
! aud rowdyish at the North and that his pri.
| vnte life will not bear examination.
Notwithstanding these undeniable facts
they declare that hc stands incomparnbly tie
highest in their esimaton-is is the man o
their choice TO take the helm of government
and when he speaks, they affirm it TO h,
the voice of god, and not of n man,
! This shows who and what they are, indi
vidually and collectively. Birds of iealh
er flock together and cage of unclenr
birds will Faneuil Hall he, on Tuesday next
which will require such lllstration by tho
Spirit of Liberty as the Augean stable re-
ceived at the hands of Hercules.
! On the score of availability, the nominn.
ton Of Mr.. WEBSTER for the Presidency
| by his retniners in Faneuil Hall, will he q
farce. Ia the first place, the Wing party
(cvcn if it welo united upon him is in Il
hopeless minority in this Country. AT the
present time, there is scarcely Wing State
in the land. The Democratic party is in all
human probability, sure Of victory in the
ensuing Presidential campaign. Its loyalty
to the Slave Power is not to he exceeded by
any thing that the Wing party can do it has
always been the natural ally Of slavery (;
its leaders are not TO be outsirippcd in any
race for Southern support and cooperation
But, aside from this, there is no indication
as yet, that Mr.. Webster stands any chance
of being the nominee of the Wing party o
the Country. True, he is proiuSely conpli
mentcd, North and South, for his trcaclery
to the cause of freedom; hut where is the
evidence that either the North or the South
intends TO stand by him for the Presidency
As for the South, rely upon it, though they
love the treason, they despisc the traitor
We have yet TO learn that there is n single
Wing paper, in all the slave States, that Nd
vOcates his election to the Office of the Chic
Magistrncy. What State at the North ear
lie hope TO carry? Massachusetts will as
suredly put her veto upon his nomination
and where else Gun he look for success?
