effect. Five Of the armed cruisers fitting

DAN. WEBSTER NOMINATED

From the Baltimore sun of the ith inst
we learn thai sIxrEgN st ties were repre-

not given. On the first ballot Mr.. Web.

didate Tor the Presidency, and On the third
hailot. Mr. !, w, Kennedy, OF Peunsylva.
MIA, was selected for Vice President. Gov.
Foote, at one Time, received nine votes Tor
the latter office, IL now remains TO be
seen, whether MIR Webster will accep, .h:s
nomination. II he does. aud we think he
will, the fate OF Scott is sealed
Here Is the paragraph from which we de.
rive our information We are not informed
what states were represented
ut appears that the National Union
Convention, which met in Philadelphia, on
Saturday last, did succeed IN making their
nominations. Hon. Charles Il. Stewart,
OF Mississippi. presided, and the convention
nominated Daniel Webster, Tor President;
aud j. Wayne Kennedy, Of Pennsylvania,
Tor Vice President. Sixteen States We're
represented, aud the proceedings were, of
course, very harmonious No platform of
principles seems to have been deemed me-
cessary. When wW that fit time come
when Mr.. Webster can define his position,
and relieve the anxiety Of his friends Hav
ing received the nominations of two con.
ventions already, and very nearly obtained
one at the hands Of the Georgia Union men,
he ought, certainly, with such start, to
be able to distance both his competitors

Shameful assault on Mr. Webster.
The whig press, recently so warm in
behaIfo OF Mr. Webster, are now pour-
ing bitter abuse upon him-all because
the great expounder will not avow

Richmond Whig:
There is no agnanimity, no NOR.

composition-in this presenting a stri>

The whig party did right in not nom,
