CITY ITEMS.

INFAMOUS SwINDLs BY THE RUM-SEL-
LERs.-A characteristic piece of villainy is now in
progress by the opponents of the Maine Law in this
City. Finding that some of the friends Of Hon.
DANIEL WEBSTER were circulating a call for a
meeting to nominate that gentleman for the Presi-
dency the Rum Sellers have got hold of the printed
circulars, which read 40 follows:
PUBLIC MEETING.
The subscribers. Citizens OF Newly York, earnestly
desire the election OF
DANIEL WEBSTER
IN the office of Presioent Of the United States. for
the ensuing Presidential term and they respectively
invite all Citizens who unite with them In THIS wisn
to meet at on the 4th day OF March neft,
a, n O'Clock In the evening, to nominate Mr. WEB
srRR for the Presidency, subject TO the approval OF
Wing National Convention.
And having circulated them until they have been
signed by gre number of highly honorable and re-
spectacle gentlemen, the persons having the papers
have destroyed the above CALL attached the names TO the
Remembrance against the passage of the Name Lao,
and orrarded the hybrid documents to Albany as h'n,st
pubic opinion against Temperance How much bet
ter is this than the sort Of forgery for which the law
awards ten years Incarceration in State Prisonl
Will our Temperance friends in the Legislature do
themselves and their opponents the justice to see
that all the names for and against Temperance are
printedi Gentlemen who have been swinded BY
this last trick are justly indignant, and desire an OPP
portunity to vindcate themselves. Let US have the
names here in New-YOrk, where We can ascertain
whether the Rum. Sellers have honestly obtained
"ueary all the voters" of the city for their cause.
" Mr.. WEBSTER was as much surprised
as the public upon learning from Thursday even
ines Post that he had received important dispatches
from Paris and would leave Immediately for Wash
inetop. TIE honorable Secretary will remain In
New.York until Monday, and was the guest OF An
son G Phelps, Esq, last evening.
