In the Boston Courier tWhe) OF The 9th July, the day of
Mr. Websers grand Boston reception there is significant
article "headcd position Of the Wing party which
,alns the following preenan, passages:
"What then uttered ia the spirit of prediction has 3ecn

The itac, Tie Courier accounts for this state
OF things follows:
"The of wide spread dsatcton is moi ditcul,
to discover. The people satisfied with The o,gs OF
the Convention. They do believe tie Convention did
its duty They believe was corruption ana intrigue
and dishonesty and fraud in proceedings by which Thar

that Convention faled DO what their constituents esired
that they miseprsentcd their sentiments and their Interests
and acted contrary 10 herown bounded duty and their i'm
piled Instructions; in word they believe That the Conve

would not nave done themselves what the people ca
not sanction or rau!y."
Having satisfactorily established the fac, of dsaec
ton in the wing ranks and having also accounted for
existence the Courier gives The following cheering
rance the Scott wings Of which they requested
make all they This with which the paragraphs
closes is perhaps The most significant that has been
penned during the present campaign:
"Now while this belief remains mind OF tho people;
and il assuredly is there and hes taken deep there

The article closes with subJoncd dcnunriaons and
'h'eas which should something for it is bad to
suppose that such capital writing and much Indignation
were meant TO be only blank catridges:-
