Boston Notions.

The Boston Posi-, finding how futile are all
appeals to the "loyal" instincts of its much
lauded citizens, is resorting to the argument Of
the pocket, to turn them from the error7of their
ways.
In performing this duty, it is compclled to ex-
pose the hypocratica pretexts Of the Wing or
CANS in its immediate vicinity, which rc-echo the
tunefu cant originating in this city, touching

tionista if only regularly nominated by the party.
On its side the Wing press is equally digent
in exposing the shifts Of the unterrifed De-
mocracy" Of that section to secure the influence
and the votes of the ruling faction-greatly as
sisted therein by the RAsroUL experiment, and
its results. 1t will be observed that the Ian
guage of the Atlas is very equivoca

c|aring that it cannot be enforced here, and in
denouncing the Union meeting at FaneuI Hall,

and to build up New York, than the operation
Of the tariff.
1t is estimated that more than a million of
dollars in sales have been lost to Boston this
season on account of the impression among
Southern merchants that Boston would not sus-

this morning what gave us great pleasure, that
the members of the Maryland State Consttu-

prompted singly by desire to do honor to the
great man who now fills the Office of Secretary
of State-to show their sense of his public SER
vice, and their cordial approval of his course on
the great questions involved in tho compromise
of the last Congress; and also to mark with
their condemnation the wanton, malignant and
baseless charges that had been brought against
him in the last Congress, have invited Daniel
Webster to pubic dinner aud that he had ac-
cepted of the invitation. The dinner is to take
place at Annapolis on Tuesday next.--Bal,. PAT.
