The following letter Of MIR. Webster, which is plain
and very much to the purpose, naturally suggests the in
quiry whether General Scott is wiling or be made
willing, to say as much over his signature.
This question is The pertinent when remem
Der that General Scott has published his approval Of
the position taken by Mr. Webster Just before the great
Union meeting at Castle Garden. In the brief letter
which Mr. Webster addressed TO that meeting il will be
recoeced thar he did in nowse express his appreciation
OF the fugitive law il is but the contrary, stated
that he had prepared pery different law providing for
