.h,.dlv mems opinions depend very
anon their organization. Men OF large alb

W. rublic men, we go back OF their party

adhere to it's little partisan round of ideas. Let

Mr.. WEBsTERs friends are open in their con-
Ssmpatory comments upon the course of MIR.
GEORGE EVANS in the late Wing Convention in
Maine. for his ayowal in favor Of Gen. SCoTT.
Although il is well known that it was through the
esorts of Mr. WEBSTER and his friends that MIR.
EVANS was appointed Commissioner on Mexican
Claims. vet it is also well known that Mr.. EVANS
and hi, friends considered Mr.. WEBSTER mon
ster Of per6dy and ingrattude, because he (Mr.
W. did not give Mr. EVANS the appointment of
Fudge on the Supreme Bench in place of be-
slowing it upon Mr. CURTIS. But besides this,
The censure is very unreasonable, for MIR. EVANS
could not have been elected to the National Con-
,entOn except by avowing himself very distinctly
4 IN favor of the nomination Of General SCorr.
The action of the Loco-F oco Convention at
Baltimore is particularly acceptable to the Wings
IN Washington. For ticket to be beaten, it is
reckoned just about the best that could have been
offered. Its weakness is apparent enough, but It's
strength is not yet developed. Neither of the
States from which the candidates are taken was
at all doubtful and thus no local strength is ac-
CURED for these particular nominees beyond that
which every other candidate would have had. ID
would have been otherwise in taking candidates
from such States as New. York, Pennsylvania,
kentucky, &c. OF course the ticket derives no
6rcs from either the character or fame OF the
gentleman who heads it. As a civilian, he has no
reputation, and "a military man, we believe his
exploits consist simply in going to Mexico and
falling off his horse in fainting fit. MIR PIERCE
has been in both branches Of Congress, yet as he
made no mark in his legislative career, the ques
sOn is hourly asked, "Was he ever in public
lkl" If the Wings cannot beat such tickes
With Gen. ScoTT, they need not try again We
| have heard no doubt expressed that they will DO
il, and that handsomely. }. 5. ID.
