From the Courier & Enquirer-Wan street,

nal--for Webster
Mr.. Webster has returned TO Washington, after
. week OF intercourse with our citisens 10 every
position in life and hazard little in say ing, that
his reception BY our own people, and the impression
no has left upon those with whom he hss come In
contact, has been such his most devoted friends
Mr.. Webster seen and oonvsrsed with 30 many of
our citizens on no previous occasion has he como
In direct contact with 80 many of the laboriDg and
mechanical classes-wlth those whose genius, tai
ents, apd industry, have made New York the great
commercial emporium of the New World. And We
feel assured, that all whs have me. Mr.. Webster
his recent visit, understand better than hereto
fore, his enlarged views. and his every day prscti
cal common sense opinions, upon the great ques-
tions Of the day. Mr.. Webster ia not only great
statesman, great orator, and great scholar, but
he is empha,ically q man OF the peopb-one to
whom all the practical affairs Of rural and mecha-
pc life familiar az are the foreign relations
otthe country his Is one Of thoss gigantic intel
lects which nothing is teo large to grasp; but
which as irstinctively seizes upon, appropriateS,
ana applies the ninuti@ Of life to the larger mat
tiers dependent upon them, as it grappes with
tt0Ee larger matters themselves. Accordingly,
Mr.. Webster is as pre-emnent as . pra,tical
farmer, "a he is az y statesman; and those
who know him best, are always most forcibly i'm
pressed with the universally and procssness Of his
knowledge in relation to all the affairs of life.
Ca Friday next the people Of this city will as
sembe at Metropolitan Hall, under the u asst nu-
merous and Influential csll ever promulgated IN tho
United States; aud We cannot doubt but the ex-
preston, by that citing, in favor OF Mr. webster,
VIII III Ike o very deep impression throughout the
Union. II viii DO voice from New fork IN behalf
Of he great defender OF the constitution, which
will find response in tho bosom OF every patriot;
ana wb Ioh Will prcmpt thousands who are now neu-
trail to feel that it is both possible and right TO do
ustice to hiIa who has nobly stood by the cons-
tunon Of the Union in the hour Of peril 1t will
dc onstrate tiat the wings Of this city are IN ear
nest and thar, feeling 1t is right aud proper to
move in the support Of tie great champion of the
Constitution, they feai essly aud cont ienty appeal
to the wbigs OF tee United States, to redeem their
pledges made in times past; and now that Mr..
Clay Is no longer candidate for nomination, to
unite IN bringing Tor ward him who always stood
shoulder to shoulder with Mr.. Clay in support of
Whig principles, and that Union Of the states upon
which il is based.
The time has arrived when IL becomes tae duty
of wings to speak plainly TO each other, and 20 un-
derstand precisely che state Of affairs In relation to
the prospects, Of our party at tSs coming Presiden-
| tial election. II may be that the wings cannot
elect their candidate, be he who he may; but 1t 10
absolutely certain, that, RS regards Mr. Webster,
| kIr Fillmore, and General Scott, MIR. Webster is
the only one who be excited under any oonsin-
| gency which may arise. Nothaas IS more absotsey
cotr, than dai Dir. FRlasre cannot receive the uotc
Of N,o York. Either Of the democratic candi tate,
,eo,.a bea HIM from sevsity to hsou.rei thousand
potss; while il is equally certain thai New York
can be given to any other whig Ihis Is plain Ian
| guage, and not paa!able to MIR fllmore and his
! friends; but he and they know, bay ond all perad
venture that it is true and being true, they should
| not object to its being promulgated. We do not
pretend to justify the hostility which exists TO wards
| Mr.. Fillmore in THIS State; bu. cannot shu, our
eyes TO the fact that !, does exist, will we b,
party to conceaing it from the whig party Of tbs
| county. Then again, the whig party ant the
whig press. are eln'cat universally pledged agains;
the election Of any incuIub bent OF thc Presidential
chair; aud there arc Sufficient honest and honorable
zen thus situated, who will be faithful TO their
pledge and thereby render his defeat absolutely cer-
tain, even il no were put 10 nomination with his
| own state protesting against him.
80 much for Mr.. FImore's chances When the
| Wing National Convention assemblies, the South
will Inform the Nerth, that General Scott cannot
carry either Of the whig STATES of Maryland, Ksa-
! Louisiana; Sbile MIR. Webster or Mr.. Fillmore
could carry all Of them And MIR. Fillmore beng
cut Of the question by reason Of tie hostility of
| own State, ard the pledges OF the wings Of the
| North agans. the re election Of any incumbent we
canrct doubt hut the Southern vote in Convention
| will be given 10 mir. Webster.
These are common sense views upon facts obvious
to every Intelligent whis; and taken IN connection
| with tne fact that MIR Webster is identified wi.
| the Wig party everywhere ana can carry all the
! Wig states beth at the Nsrth and the South
surely il is cyIeaient we'll as jus. 30 Mr. Webster,
