MIR. webster's Position.

Some Of the Wing journals have lately ntimaled that
Mr. Webster is about 10 declare himself in favor of the
election Of General Scott and to withdraw his own name
from the presidential canvass We observe that some
democratic journals lend credence TO the rumor For
ourselves. regard il as altogether incredible.
The Webster movement never SO active and
jealous as il is at this moment. Never before have
his friends in the whig party done more 10 prove
their fidelity TO him. The paragraphs which we copy
below from The Boston Courier are only few among
many evidences, brough, us by single mail, which
90 to show that large and influential section Of
the whig party are resolved TO testify their devotion
10 whig doctrines by giving their votes to the most
eminent statesman OF the whg party. In addition
to this. reliable private adyices in this city assure
va that Webster ticket is forthwith TO be organized in
New York. Mr. Webster no desert these men pho
areStvsui~g susryhiag his behalf He cannot now re-
buke the zeal which, up to this time, he has counte
naneed and encouraged MIR. Webser's special and au-
honzed organ has told us, again and again. that il Gen
Scott be elected Mr. Webster take part his admin
istraon or in support IL This is equivalent 10 decara-
ton from Mr. Webster himself. that he cannot in good
conscience, aid in Gen Scotrs election Indeed sub
stan.ialy, such declaration implied in Mr. Web
sers stern rpudaiion OF Mr. Tallmadges statement that
be had declared his intention TO support General Scott
1t is obvious that if Mr. Webster now retreats and
gveS n his adhesion 10 the Scott movement the whole
county must assume that his motives interested, if
not corrupt We observe that this assumed by some
of the democratic journals while awaiting his expected
leiiet Of adhesion We think these Journals mistaken
We donot believe that Mr. Webster is willing TO subject
himself 10 such suspicion. Al present he stands on
high ground In the name OF his country, and for the
sake OF me peace OF the county he protests against the
organization OF his party. In reverence OF his obgs
iions ~ patriot he puts away from him his ties

time What excuse has he to render 10 the men who,

What excuse has he render the whg party itself for
