Shameful AssauIt on nIr. WehsterIII

Not long ago the Bee proclaimed, on the au-
thority Of the Richmond Wing, that Mr. Fillmore
never said to his friends in the Baltimore Conven-
ton, 'Vote for Webster and save the Wing
party
We now Gallon the Bee to let the public know
what this same Richmond Wing, Gen. SCOTS
Virginia organ, says of Daniel Webster.
But we shall not wait for the Bee. Wings of
the South, here is what the Scott organ, only ten
days ago, said Of your illustrious
awe have very high opinion of Mr.. Webster's
intellectual Abilities but very poor opinion of his
character. There is nsognaninaity no moral
elevation, no diSiRtereStednesS IN his composition
in this presenting striking contrast to the high
toned unselfshRess of Clay. In 1848 when some
foolish people in New York proposed to nominate
the great Kentuckian, he at once arrested the
movement. saying that his name having been be-
fore the Philadelphia Convention, honor and good
faith required that he should acquiesce in its de-
cision. If Mr. Webster had any Of the materials
of Clay, he would now adopt the same course, in
stead of whining over his misfortunes and MrOU-
ing oat opertares for higher ,Ooges.
The Wing party did right in not nominating
him.. He could not have received more than thir-
ty electoral votes-and the Wings were under no
obligations 10 sacrifice themselves and the great
Wing cause to crafty his vanity. If he takes
their course in high dudgeon, and can make bet
ter terms with his New Hampshire neighbor, Gen.
Pierce, let him do it. We are opposed to enter
ing into any stpulations for keeping him in office
under Scott; and if his continued Whiggery can
only be preserved by that means, let hins go.

! We find the following companion piece to the
New Boston fabrication, circulating briskly through
the press. Its authenticity is beyond question 1t
looks very like a eEtpcher. 1t was addressed to
the Trenton Gazette, genuine Scott organ:
