WEBSTERISM IN BOSTON.

The Websterites of Boston have at last held
their meeting to form an electoral ticket IN
Massachusetts,; One of the editors OF the
Springfield Republican, who was present,
states that there we're no more than 800 at
the meeting who really sympathised in the
movement. No gentlemen ever very promi-
ncnt in the Wing ranks arc named as being
at the meeting and there is nothing about
the proceedings of an influential character
An electoral ticket was completed except for
one district in the State No Webster man
could be found in this district Two of the
electors for districts in the western part of
the State, we have the authority ofthe Spring
field Republican for saving, arc avowed Scott
men, while for the third the Republican can
find no man answering to the name, nor any
body who knows such man. The move
ment Ill Boston appears to be led by a couple
of broken down or superannuated clergymen;
at least, they are the principal speakers at the
meetings of the bolters Nothing of public
character has been heard from Mr. Webster.
Tie is doggedly silent, and his organ intimates
he will remain so. No body apprehends but
that Scott will carry Massachusetts by thou
sands in spite of all that the leaders in this
faction can do against him Or for Mr. Webster.
1t Is bolt against regular and fair nomi-
nation, and the people never gave much coun-
tenance to boilers. If MIR Webster has occa-
sion of complaint against any body, it is a.
sainst those Wings and locofocos who made
an effort to get up Union party, from which
he expected nomination for the Presidency.
They cheated him in a bargain he is old G.
nough never to have gone into. They inten-
dcd to do it at the time, We have no doubt
But nomination would have availed him
nothing. That Union party was got up by
broken down and spawned politicians. and
but little can such men do at the best. They
never elected President or scarcely JUS
tice of the peace, and intelligent men seldom
link their fortunes with such. A cloud. dark
er than midnight, will rest upon the fame of
MIR Webster if he in any wav seeks to defeat
ten. Scott. He is bound. like anv other
Wing, to ail in his election ave, more than
any other, for he was competitor in the
same Convention for the nomination: and
that too after his ''union party" had become
extinct from its very insignifcancc.
One jenkins, of Georgia, figures as Vice on
the Webster ticket.
p S.-1'hc Lynn News saws that the cleo
tor on the Webster ticket. residing in LYNN,
Is not Wing. and was never known to vote
the Wing ticket but once 1t is to be expected
that locofocos would stand such honors provi-
died. they can thereby do injury to the Wing
party. Take out the locofocoS in this Web
stcrian eruption and the number left would
present picture not unlike that of the apoth-
ecary's shop at Mantna.
eB Gen. Scott, was at Cleveland. Ohio,
on the 2lst. He is on Western journey.
under the direction of Congress lie was
appointed one of a Board to look ont place
tor, and locate sort of retreat for disabled
soldiers. Although he declines all public re-
reph"ns. dinners. &C.. the people turn out in
masses all along his route. to look at and greet
HIM. The West is alive with enthusiasm for
Gen. Scott.
