whig Rejection Meeting In Boston.

The Boston Courier, OF July 7lh, notices call for a
meeting Faneu Hall, the evening OF that day. OF
The wings OF the county OF Suffolk opposed Tor the pres
ent TO sustaining the nominations made at Baltimore
the 22d Of June" and in alndng TO the call takes occa-
sion to make the following significant remarks:
"No one can regret more heartily than do the
ination referred We regret H. not on account OF any
obecion the candidate nominated but because
is founded distinct rennnciation oil The principle
that ghes talents the most distinguished public
vices the fidelity the great Interests of the
country constitute the strongest Recommendation to the
6rst office in the gin Of the people. We consider IL an
OF primo pie in which no. only the honor and
standing OF the wbg parry III the opinion OF lbe rehecnng
portion of bot the best hopes OF the country
Tor the future deeply Implicated But the act - com
med and past remedy, and u remains LOT me wings To
consider only what they now owe 70 'hef parry ana 10
the country"
Remarks similar purpori TO the above in several OF
the whg papers of the East, mot the unimportant jour
nails OF small towns but the leading and influential jour
nails OF New Engand) taken in connexion with The
manifesto OF southern members OF Congress, published
our paper OF yesterday, and other similar
in character and OF the highest respectabiy, leave
other impression upon the minds OF people having any
preension either intelligence candor, that the wing
party has within itself al the present moment the seeds OF
dssensoH that must continue to grow and duse itself
until IL finally results in general break MP OF the wing
organization and abandonment OF Their candidate tor
the presidency So far the South concerned we do
not see how can be otherwise 80 far as the friends OF
Mr. Webster are concerned, (and they embrace large
proportion of the wings OF New England) we cannot
conceive what inducement they can have for active
participation in the elevation OF General Scott. Every IN
dicaion in the political horizon seems adverse 10 the
cause OF our opponents while with the democracy every
hour npars strength 10 the cause and renewed conn
dence of victory II only behooves us to perfect thor
ough organization, by counies towns and Districts and
TO labor as in the days OF jackson and Folk, 10 insure
even more signal triumph

taoh avened that the neglect 10 hold the Indians in
check due to the crippled condition OF the War De-
patment and that the democratic party responsible
therefor since Congress had cut down the estimates OF
the Quartemasters department The administration has
since proved that this assertion was arihce-a
dseredilable preience for il has since forward
with deficiency BILL and admitted that the democratic
attempt to cut down the estimates was Intellectual, and
that the administration had, without the authority OF
law expended the full amount OF the Quartermasters
estimates.
These are few instances which occur to us at the
moment, in which the administration has attempted
to shelter gross wrong, abuse OF power. and ne
gecl of duty by resort to pleas and excuses which
not founded in candor Error, when confessed,
may be pardoned in public officer but when there is
attempt to shield il by slippery evasion, excuse II
by groundless assertions il is doubly criminal When
the history OF this administration is truly written, It's

OF unmanly evasons, and OF dsreputabe efforts TO cast
its just responsibility the shoulders Of the democratic
