The Minnesota pioneer. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn. Territory) 1849-1855, 1852-08-12

In the following extract from the New York Tri.
banc, is seen specimen Of the i'll feelings Of the
Webster Wings and the Scot, Wings, towards each
other
The Boston Cosricr, ia leader which ought not
70 have been written, save on due advlsement and
authority indicates that Mr. Webster will do moth
;ng TO promote Gen. Scott's election He will con-
tinuc Wing in principle, but will do nothing (this
time at least) for the election Of Wing President
and the consequent continuance Of a Wing Admins
tra,ion This manifesto does not intimate that Gen.
Scott is no, an honest, capable, deserving man,
that he is not sound, consistent, lifelong Whig-
II does even intimate that he is opposed 10 the
Compronise but it insists that the anti-Compromse
wing of the Wing part, tr,umphed IN his nomination.
and that the platform Is a bubble aud the candidate
,he main point. The Seward Wings here carried
their candidate they the head Of the hcapand
Mr. Webster viii not follow them. And besides,
the Convention had business nominate any body
but Mr. Webster--hcnce il is clear that the noniina-
ton Of Gen. Scott is uSurpation, fraud, and ought
not 10 be supported. Hear the Courier:
1--WE think, moreover, that il is quite time for the
people this country TO look at the in which
Mr.. Webster has been treated b. the Wing party,
for the las, twelve fifteen years. This retrospect
should be had, not so mach on his personal account
as on public accounts for the dealing of political
Org mutations towards great public OF Mr.. Web

Such man are not merely the champions of Iarticu-

Crs Of the institutions OF the country; guides on all
great fundamental questions It's aibitat1s in all Sc
rous conflicts between cashing interests and oppo-

"a statesman as Mr.. ebstcr,-whatever inpedcs or
obstrucs his opportunities for shaping the course of
whatever tends TO remove him from
the great sphere OF his legitimate influence in the
Councils ofthe country, Is ust much direct injury
TO the interests Of the people. We say il in sorrow
pnd in shame but IA tluf nd fhpr1f.,
that the Wing party is engaged In Efforts 10 OBJ
tain the control OF the Government, under ci,cusan
which will if necessity exclude from il one who
is both the greatest and influential Wing in the land
and the foremost statesman in the world; for no man
can suppose, that If this nomination Of Gen. Scott is
10 be carried t. election by the who projected
it, that Daniel Webster viii can remain connect
ed with the Government IN any capacity. This
striking fact. therefore, that by this movement,
sumins thar the Wing party is a majority in the
Country--a W Ing administration TO be formed IN
which the people cannot possibly have the services
of Daniel Webster, and, that too at a period when
both his influence upon mankind and his intellectual
powers are wholly unabLied ought to open the eyes
OF the people to tn course which the Wing pety has
pursued, towards THIS ther greatest public
