Movement Of Mr.. Wcbster's FTiends.-
Meeting i'll the Art Union Rooms last
Evening.
Agreaby to notice in one Of the morning
papers, a meeting of the friends Of Mr.. Wei =
ster was held last evening in the Art Union
Rooms, fremont street. The meeting WI,
called to order by Charles 4. White, Esq, and
Mathew Hale Smith was chosen Charm an.
Joseph b. Wheelock and DR.. Hobbs Of the Bee,
Secretaries.
The President, on taking the chair, said that
in the absence of a gentleman who had been
expected to be present to preside, he had been
prevailed upon to accept the post OF Chairman.
lie proceeded TO show that the action of the
Convention at Baltimore was not binding upon
Webster men I; they were not pledged to the
candidates, as they went into that Convention
as Union men. In their preliminary meetings
in Massachusetts, the friends Of Mr.. Webster
had said they were ready TO take Mr.. Webster
or Mr.. Fillmore. Webster bad remained at his
post, true to the principles Of the Constitution
, and the Compromise. Scott had never express
sed himself on the great and vital question that
now threatens the prosperity Of the county
Mr.. Webster was our first choice, our last
choice. and our only choice. We believe tha,
he has not been fairly treated. We. the VIII g>
Of Massachusetts,, are willing to recognize Il e
principles of the COMPROMISE, and stand by
, them, and to elevate their great champion and
defender to the Chief Maglstracy of this Union.
/, Mr.. Charles A. White now moved that a
committee of three be appointed TO report Sc.
res of resolutions. Messrs. Geo. Wheelright
Rev. Hubbard Winslow and Charles A. White,
were appointed to that duty, and reported the
following, which were unanimously adopted
Resolved, That Notwithstanding the action of the
late Baltimore Convention, W. do not IrIliquish our
attachment to the Great Defender OF the Constitution
or our conviction that the interests Ot the County
demand his election to the Presidency.
HcsOlred, That measures ought 10 be taken fortr-
with. for the nomination of Webster Electoral
Ticket in Massachusetts, in order that the people
may rally TO the support OF their great statesman and
give him the electoral vote OF the State.
Eesolred, That the rejection ot MIR. Webster by
the Wing National Convention, ought to teach the
people the necessity OF doing their work with
ont a. dele w hO
betray the interests OF the country to susseyve their
own and being determined that this lesson shall not
be lost, we hereby pledge our concurrence and CO.
Ope ration in any public movement that may be made
by which the people of Massachusetts may be enabled
to cast their votes for Daniel Webster.
Wr. Williams being called out said he re-
gretted that the friends of Mr.. Webster in this
city had not called rejection meeting within
4S hours OF the news of the nomination BY tie
Baltimore Convention; the matter had been
delayed injurously at the suggestion OF others
lie spoke of the meeting in Fanueil Hall on the
1th of July, and said the proceedings were now
being published in pamphlet form and would
, be sent to members of Congress and distributed
broad cast over the Union.
Rev. Hubbard Winslow was next called up
on and made short and appropriate speech
eulogisuc Of Mr.. Webster. He said he was
not favorte with politicians because they
could not use him. They nominated man
that was not available to the people, but drdl-
able 10 them lie then paid high compliment
to the Bee and Courier for standing firm in his
cause.
The following named gentlemen were then
chosen as committee OF seven to call a meet
