sENr We sgsiD call upon she friends Of Mr..
sbster Of this city, and Of Massachusetts,, an all
New England, to unite. and rally in their united
) repgtb, and organize. and vindicste, by coneen-
trstsd action, his acknowledged claims to Pee
sidency. The Union wings Of Georgia led OF in
this movement some time sgo but nov there is q
golden opportunity for action in the movement of
the Independent wings Of North Carolina sinse the
late State election in tina. sound conservative old
conmonw ealth And this movement is strengthen
ed by a corresponding movement 10 New Orleans.
The independent wings of North Carolina, salts
fed that the moral ofther election is that General
Scott bitehed Oh to Seward, win not 60 down in
the South, have resolved, hit miss, to fall back
upon Daniel Webster. II is an unusual proceeding
for the wings of North Carolina to bolt from their
regularly appointed local national ticket. Here
tofors they have been the steadiest and surest
wbg phalanx IL the Union and the present disafec-
ton ia their ranks confirms the warnings given by
Messrs. Clingman, Outlaw, and Others, at the
wing Congressional oaucuses last spring, in Wash
ipgton, with regard to the nomination Of General
Scott. The Wing National Convention, in order to
copciliate the people Of North Carolina to the hero
of three four wars, put upon the ticket with him
the most popular whig in the State q whig
who had been elected Governor by popular
majority greater than that Of Henry Clay.
But the concession has failed Of it's intended effect
The unfortunate relations between General Scott
and w II Seward and his free soil organs, it no V
appears, bad alienated the North Carolina wings be-
yond remedy SO that neither the acceptance, by
rs Inc tcrr tho
nation OF Mr.. Graham for Vice President, nor his
personal influence and popularity in the canvass.
have done any good. The election is democratic in
one Of the most reliable wbg States Of the South,
and the independent wig movement for Mr.. Web
ster is q sufficient explanation Of the disaster.
Whatever may be the result Of this movement. If
there has been any sincerity in the windy partiaity
Of Wall, street and the Castle Garden Union Safety
Committee, for Mr.. Webster, and any thing more
than gas and humbug in the Webster demonstra-
tions in Fapeuil Hail. now is the time to show il.
Let the Webster men Of New York put up q Web
ster electoral ticket and let the conservative wings
Of Massachusetts,, and all the New England States,
follow the example, and let the issue be what it
mey, the Union and constitutional principles oil
Mr. Webster will be sustained, Notwithstanding he
and the President were both broken down
by the overwhelming power of the Seward in
terest in the Baltimore Convention. The principles
of the Union and the constitution will be sus-
tanned, and the arch agtator Of the North

trolling the executive government. He will be
turned adrift and we shall then see him and hi:
agents exhibited to the country in all tho hideous
ness of their true colors. We shall then see the
cloven hoef Of abolitionism, and the long sweeping
tail Of the higher law" without even the thir
DISCUSSES which are now employed to conceal them
In this view Of the subject, we are glad to SET
that there is consistency of purpose among th
conservative wings Of Massachusetts,. II appear
that our Boston correspondent was mistaken in hi
representations that the "solid men of Boston

in favor Of Mr.. Webster Mr George I. Curtis. il

late meeting, as described by our correspondent
And we are glad to hear it, and trust, purely 70
the sake Of consistency and fair dealing with Mr.
Webster, that HE friends win now turn their resolu
tions to some practical action.
Finally, even if hr. Webster should not be elect
ed, nor carried up to the House of Representatives
the result Of this proposed independent movement
he will still achieve moral victory, great and
important that the wings Of Massachusetts, viii b.
