Of Chelsea, in introducing il, said, as report

In the point of number of signatures, it
had never been equalled by any similar doc
umenl presented in This county, and, in
point ofcharscter and respeclabiliiy of sign
efs, it had never been surpassed in this or
any other county. II enrolled the names
of more than 1926, 900 of the people--of The
best citizens Of The Commonwealth. More
thar 10000 ofthese signers were legal vot-
ersi and standing at the head of the list was
the honored name Of George N. Briggs, the
late Governor of this Commonwealth. All
classes. trades ard professions were repre>

1t is stated. on what appears to be
good authority, that certain friends Of

diency Of his peremptoriy declining TO
be candidate for the next Presidency.
The consultation resulted, il is said. IN
decision against his Withdrawing, and
in determination to present his name
before the National Convention. This
conclusion, if correctly stated, is an i'm
portnnt one, since the friends Of Mr..
WEBsTkR have confidently calculated
that the President would retire and leave
the field entirely to that gentlemln and
whatever other candidates might be pre-
'enled in opposition 10 him. 1t has even
been affirmed that this was an express
understanding between Mr.. FILLMORE
and the Secretary Of State, when the
latter accepted his present office. Such
statement, however, we dare say will
not obtain very general credeuce.
