Mr.. Webster and the Union Platform.

Mr.. Webster, III playing for q new party,
seems to make but poor progress The Washington
Southern Pres Of yesterday comments on Mr.. Web
sters closing remarks a, Niblo's. as folio rs:
We give the whole OF this perOra,on-partlY be
cause II is eloquent, and partly because II shows
where Mr. Webster wants TO go. That l. IS sophlsh-
cal and false In It's statements, every one can see
The attempt TO revive the cry OF treason and es.ao
iish bis claims as the champion of the Union ana
the Constitution is utterly futile al TINS late nour
OF the day; and even more so, the loea OF gar
vanZinE into motion the corpse OF tne northern
Union organ cation.
With the san e Inconsistency that characterized
most OF the active sga,Ors OF the COMPROMISE Dill,
Mr. Webster proclaims that the Union Is in danger
Yet, and needs fusion and confusion OF parties 10
cave it still 1.-The great point at stake is It's preser
walton. Other questons-questions OF pohcy-are
subordinate, this is paramount" linen iolows
general slap at those who wont commit themselves
He distinctly declares that the only way the Govern
ment can be protected and preserved. Is by "hs
unOn Of all ats friends, without reference TO the past,
or PLEDGE for the future" To all such, Mr. Webster
gives his "countenance," " confidence" I" influ.
,""heart and hand yin the hope that they Will
TecipIocfte the compliment
The whole dfift OF this exposition shows that Mr..
Webster has no idea of giving up the business OF
Saving the Union" He regards that as ms " thun-
Der" as he once said OF the Proylso to WIlmo'.
And, therefore, he is compelled TO keep both par
ties alive" by unfolding the dire designs OF the
secesslonsts and extremists" who hate the Con-
complisb their ends" For II is selfevldent that II
the Union is in danger, there is no necessity OF
organizations to "save 1t" over again and II the
Compromise is really the thing il vas declared TO
be by Mr. Webster, and those true friends OF MS and
the Union at the North stand to IT, his platform is
unnecessary.
Ether then, Mr. Webster was wrong last summer,
or he is wrong now; and the great majority OF the
Wing party will doubtless be asonished by this last
exposition of bis.
We might easily proceed to dissect and expose
the faacIous and specio1s statements under which
Mr. Webster seeks TO reoganiZe has Union party
but the facts familiar to need repetition We
merely desire to invite the attention OF his wing
friends 10 the fact that he Is still harpng on the same
string, and still stub5ornly bent or "saving the
Union" over again, and TeaplEg the BENEFITS thereof
This tbirg al Least is evdent-thas he cares not 10
compete with either OF his rvas for the regular nom
inaiion--wlth one aand knocking down tue Fillmore
Compromise platform, aud with the other the non
comInitial policy OF the friends OF Scott He takes
DO step backward" from bis original position, with
regard TO the nomination, and the party that is to
sustain his pretenslons.

The Tribune stating that Fred. Douglass was going
to Nassau, n. p, in the ship with Rev DR.
Cox, of Brooklyn. We destroyed one paragraph o,

1t seem the hoax was perpetra,ed after all The
statement il is needless to say is entirely untrue.
