he addressed a letter to. Gen. Eaton,

MIR. Webster and the Nominations.

Tho Salem Register, in copying the
denial from the Journal of Mr.. Tall
madge's statement, says: " But those
who remember what Mr.. Webster said
in 1S4S. will find no difficulty in be-
lieving that such will be his course,
whether he has expressly declared so
now, or not. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Webster was opposed to Gen.
Taylor's nomination; but in his speech
at Abingdon, on the 9th of October,
1913, he said
at would be idle now, and improper, to en-
ter into statement of any reasons for that O.
pinion, because the time for considering that
question has passed, and the Wing Conven-
ton, according to the usages of the party, has
nominated General Taylor He is the only
Wing candidate before the people, and the on
w Wing candidate who can receive any vote
for the Office of President and therefore ii be-
comes question for the consideration ofall
those who are attached to the Wing cause be-
lieving ii to be the cause of the country, whcth-
or there is any other course for them to pur-
sue, but to acquicsce in the decision of the
majority Of their brethren, and to sustain the
nomination. And, in one respect, am sure
that every member of this meeting, and every
Wing of Massachusetts,, will agree with me,
that, if it be proper TO support Gen. Taylor as
the nominee of the Wing party, it is proper to
make that support generous, manly, efficient,
eliectual. A hesitating, faltering, halting sup
port would do more harm than good
Gentlemen, the Wing party may encounter
misfortune ; it may commit mistakes; but, for
one, | shall follow its fortunes; because | am
more willing to trust myself, and trust the
country, upon whig principles and Wing pol
icy, than upon those ofany other political par
ty or association
For one, therefore, am for supporting, de-
cidedly, and with alacrity, the nomination
which, under all the circumstances, the Wing
Convent N has seen fit {, make, locking to its
influences rs the only means of escape from
great and threatening dangers.
Such were Mr.. Wcbster's sentiments
in 1913 and the reasons for sustain
ing the Wing nominations are much
more forcible now than they were then.
Mr.. Webster, Of course, will support
Gen. Scott"

Pc C. J. Ingcrsoll (democrat) of

many trying occasions has found him

Wing "Disafiections. -

Much account is made, by om
opponents. of the GOODNESS and in some
cases open opposition, with which the
nomination of Gen. Scott has been re-
ceived by Wings in certain quarters.
They rejoice over the manifesto of the
few Southern members of Congress,
who-at one period of their lives
Whigs-have now, and most of them
long since, taken leave Of their old as.
sociates. We have had no faith in
Toombs and Stephens for long time.
Such men go out by unanimous con-
sent. Of all the scceders-if they
are entitled to that name-Gcntry and
Williams alone will be seriously regret
ted. The Wing party South will stand
unitedly by our candidates, as usual.
The few exceptions will hardly affect
the final result.
In Boston, there is dissatisfaction
excited in part by the ccnsurahlc course
Of one of the leading papers in that city,
in opposition to the nomination Of Mr.
Webster. Compared with the detection
i'll Massachusetts, four years ago, how
ever, VIC believe the ultimate secession
there now will be as nothing. Dis
countcnanced in their opposition by
Mr.. Webster himsclf-as we have rca.
son to believe they will bc-thc vote
of Massachusetts is safe for Scott and
Graham.
We hear rumors Appointment Wings
nearer home opposing the nominees Of
the National Convention. Such asser-
tons respecting our ablest statesm en-
here in Vermont are worse than idle.
No man in his senses will believe that
Vermont Wing will be found sus-
tanning Gen. Pierce. All such state
ments, we need not say, are entirely
false. That our Presidential nominee
was not the first choice Of Vermont is
undoubtedly true. But that he will
get the usual wing vote of this State,
is not to be questioned.
Gen. Scott is the nominee of the
Wing party of the nation. lie stands
on a national platform. Wings can dc
no less than to give him their undivid.
ed vote, throughout the union. They
will do so, We believe, with as entir,
unanimity as they have manifested il
any Presidential canvass.

III Commemoration Of the Battle Of
Niagara at Niagara Falls, Tuesday
and Wednesday,, July 27h amd
2sM.
The people of the northern frontier
of the United States having manifest
ed strong and general desire to celc-
brate the anniversary of the battle Of
Lundy's Lane, a preliminary meeting
of delegates from the different coun-
ties of the State of New York adioin.
ing the frontier, was held at Niagara
Falls on the Sth day of July, and com.
mittees appointed to make the ncces-
sary arrangements. The Battle of
Niagara was the most thorough test
which has ever been presented of the
ability of American soldiers as well
as OF the volunteer militia, or Of the
regular, to combat honorably and sue
cessfully the best disciplined and most
efficient veterans of the bravest Euro
pcan race.
TO the citizen soldier of the Union
the anniversary is that of their proud
est recollcctions They will be repre-
scented by various independent com
panies of New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan and other States. a
cordial welcome is hereby rendered to
volunteer corps from every section OF
our country who may attend the Gee
bration. The survivors of the conflicts
at Fort Erie, Chippewa, Lunly's Lane,
and the various battles on the Niagara
Line will recognize the remains Of the
shattered and thin battalions in honor
of their gallant commander and then
departed comrades. We hope to meet
those who at a later day illustrated
their valor and patriotism by services
under the same great leader in the
march and battles between Vera Cruz
and the city Of Mexico.
-ivic and political organization
throughout the nation are invited t.
join in the celebration, and it is loreC
that every State will be rel resented
Arrangements will be made by thu
proper committees with the severa
Rallroad and Steamboat companies fol

Mr.. WEBSTER AT NAHANr.-A
Boston correspondent Of the N. Y.
Journal of Commerce gives the follow
ing account of Mr.. Webster at Ma
hant
"Mr. and Mrs. Webster went to
Nahant OIL Saturday, and spent tho
Sabbath with his relative, James w.
Page, Esq, who has a beautiful cot
tagc on that delightful peninsula.
This cottage is located near the Great
Nahant, so called, and opposite the
summer residence of the widow of the
late Mr.. Justice Story. Mr.. Webster
is in good spirits, and in comfortable
health. AS we saw him Saturday eve
ming at Nahant, he seemed much lleas-
ed by the delightful sea-breezcs that
ever blow upon those rock bound shores.
His conversation was brilliant and
learned, and it was good to drink in
his words of wisdom as he discoursed
upon the oriental mind, Chat was the
topic, } the Bible, Cicero De Natura
Dcorum." that he had lately read
being the chief text books, referred
to. Said Mr.. Webster, If | were to
live my life my over again, l would
study the oriental mind more than l
have. The whole conversation was
one of the most interesting kind, and
gave evidence that Secretary Webster
is still in possession of all his gigan-
tic powers of mind, and is still bring
ing forth ripe fruit in old age. His
accomplished and prince-likc wife is
in excellent health, and as we first
saw them, was arm in arm with her

gI~ The decisions which have been
made in the Courts of Maine, relctivc
to the Liquor law Of that State, although
they have not yet troubled the main
question, have, as far as they so, done
much to invalidate the law. The last
decision of the Supreme Court, that
liquors cannot be seized in transitu,
(while being transported, )unlcss there
is evidence that they are being trans.
ported for the purpose of sale, has put
a stop to the seizures which have been

costs for some liquors already seized.

SALARIES OF FOREIGN MINIsTERs.-In
answer to letters from the State Depart
ment on the subject of the sufliciency Of
the salaries of foreign ministers, Mr.
Lawrence writes that so 600 year is
the lowest sum on which minister can
live economically in London--and that
his own expenses are much larger. Mr.
Rives writes from Paris that his abso-
lutte and unavoidable expenses are about
$4,000 per annum. Mr. Barringcr, at
Madrid, says he expects to pay out a
large sum from his private means, to
meet his expenses They each receive
$4,000 salary, and $4,000 as outfit The
reply of all the ministers abroad is that
the salary they receive is altogether too
small, and some of them cannot afford to
draw upon their private resources
