The Courier and the Whig Nomination.
The Boston Courier Of Monday, 2sth inst,
growls and snagls like Cefbetus about the
nominatioR of sFuss and Feathers" by the Ma
zional Wing Convention, in preference to ''Dan-
iel;'' and II petulantiy aad Pernsciously refuses
to run up the names of the nominees to its col
amn head. The Courier is iigke4ally excited
1t is incensed at the idea the candidate which
State street purchased at an enormous expense,
for this special Presidential OCCASION should be
rejected at Baltimore, and s'Conceit in eppau-
leltes'' preferred Ii is mad TO find that the 6f-
teen hundred scoundrels whe turned out in arms,
10 lead Sims back ee slavery, AID whom it faith
fully represents, have nos succeeded in the nomi-
nation of their favorite leader, BUT have at last
been left by the South. TO couat their s!avehold-
Gng gains, with Raught but labor Cor their trouble;
and so it raves, ard roars, and fumes, aud frets,
an that coarse, rabid vernacaar, for which it has
been become famous since lS4s; and it refuses
TO back into the traces and pal lcC Scott and Gra-
nam.
We have it upon the authority of certain learn
ed theologians, that the devil can conceal his
cloveu hoof in sscerdota stole, as handsomely
as need be, and quote Scripture as gbly as the
smaitest parson that is out; and upon the same
principle of capacity. we 6ad that the CnuEleE
state abstract propositions, which are excellent Of
themselves, even though they are, in the mean
time, the apparent emissions from troubled and
polluted source. The Courier says:
ga party may be deemed to stand safe, when il
has unity of Observation-Disclosures of purpose-con-
hdence IN its leaders, and Consciousness of being in
the right. Without these things, il is in false Do
sition.
Could any propositions be truer than those? And
could they be more appropriately applied than in
reprehension Of the whole history and attitude Of
the Wing party, as they are Row applied BY the
Courier! Yet the CoGrier only makes the applica.
zion OF those principles to date from the day that
Scott was nominated and Webster rejected; while
they IN faci and it is stern fact too, are elnpha-
eally applicable to that party since 1S4S Unity Of
leel'ng except the unity of feeling of abasement
as now unknown in the Wing party; distinc,ness of
purpose, save that of attaining the price of SHAME
less treason, the Wing party is destitute of; conf
dence IN its leaders, who have been huckstered and
traded, like fetid fish, in the political market, il can
not have; and Consciousness of being right. il can
assume to have only by Siding the light Of con-
science and of reason
Ii ever party in false position, it is the
Wing party at this time; and ruin and disruption.

s'tlon' are its inevitable doom. The handwriting
rs on the wall. Corruption and disorganizaton are
oroodins like nightmare over the Wing party, once
so faithful and firm ia its professions OF love of lib.
er'y, and, ike an army Of shadows, it will soon be
scattered to the winds.
But, leaving the prospects and punishment of the
Wing party TO the future. let us see what logical
grounds the Co1rier and the other Webster organs
nave to complain Of the action Of the Baltimore
Convention in relation to this nomination. Do
