States The Scott press. after attempting in vain 10 pre-
vent The Webster disafecon by threats and menaces,
now seek TO undeuale il some quarters and in others to
announce IFS abandonment. This course OF procedure
has called forth reply from the Boston Courier, Mr.
Websers home organ, which gives most explicit con-
radietIon to the statement fabricated by the Scott pari
sans that Mr. Webster intends address his friends and
forbid the use which they making of his name in con-
nexIon with the presidency. The Courier says:
I'VE see II stated in various quarters that Mr.. Webster
contempiaes publishing address his friends advising
them as to the which they ought pursue urg
ing 'he 70 refrain from using his in connexion with

This is decided enough and, besides. the preliminary
movements for Webster organization have already been
made in Massachusetts,. A committee OF a thousand has
been appointed and the Boston journals have published
calls for an Independent Webster ticket with large
number Of signatures. In New York the friends Of the
Massachusetts statesman are not idle The Day Book,
Journal which has sgnalized itself by its devotion to
Mr.. Webster, has the following announcement, ind-
eating that Mr. Stewards sway excites rebellion in some

high with General Sco-so high, indeed, thai the latter
spoke OF him warmly in many places. and printed his
estimate OF him on several occasions The manly and
straightforward bearing OF General Pierce, added his
admitted gifts debater and politician, early attracted
the attention OF Calhoun, of Polk. Cass, Buchanan, and
host OF Others and the whig press did hes-
ate when he was in The United States Senate, 10 bear
unpromped testimony to his marked and vigorous intel
lect An ordinary could not have obtained the
confidence OF his own State in degree so rarely
enjoyed by and freely bestowed upon Pierce; nor
could an ordinary have obtained so strong a hold
upon those with whom he had been associated in pub

ed from thousand for exalted destiny. II is said
by those who have travelled in New England that the
of Pierce is that exciles the greatest enthu
sasm, and that his fellow citizens devotedly attached
TO him. Personally popular with his opponents, he at
tracts 10 him the hearts OF his friends, and often effects
by his personal appeals what others have tried in vain
accomplish by lengthy and labored efforts.
We will not contrast General Pierce with General
Scott in their relations respectively TO others in their
intercourse with their friends and with the people at
large But will say for General Pierce that no man
attained high position, held with honor among
his coemporares, who was not blessed with most of
his conceded high qualities. And it is less true
that the best those who have been procured
