agans the sgitatsrs The sgitassYs wese, there
ere, resolved 70 srusA him; and there Was every
rsassn 70 believe thas hey would have bslted, had
nT. Webster saeeeeSea in securing the nomination.
'E, esrasiSg and splitting" upon tho wing platform
% they do, 10 IL but . fair conclusion, that man
who had earnestly and faithfully carried out the
principles Of that platform would be equally despised
and equally obnsxisus. Upon these grounds, Mr..
Webster may justly be defended in his bold and
manly position Of armed neutrality. He hes nothing
nov 70 gain by Bringing submission to tho threats
or appeals Of tho Seward organs. If he should
quissec in The Baltimore decree, and como oat aud
labor 70 lift shs Wig party out Of the mise, and
should sseesed in the HerSulesn task Of saving it
from defeat he viii be rewarded BY being aside
rs Of no further use, and Of NO further DANGER to
the clique BY when he has been so often betrayed.
But orr contemporary Of the Courier admits tina
large proportion, if not majority, of the thirteen
thousand men, who signed the call for the Webster
Gen. raj Pierce, or vote ticket at all, in the ab
ssDoe Of Webster ticket. We presume that tho
loss of even Eve thousand men in New York, sim
ply by their refusing to vote, viii be equal to loss
to Ssstt Of the electoral vote Of this state in No
v,nbsr. But if half Of them 60 over to Pierce,
then the loss TO General Scott will DO equal to 500
votes Why, then, should not the friends of Mr.
Webster, in New York. resolved not to vote for Gen.
BsS,t!-why sbould they not have an opportunity
to vote in the election Ter the Of their choice!
The matter is entirely as their discretion. Aud
how does the Cssuiy know that these independent
Webster men, of this city, viii not second the Web
ster movement in Georgia, North Carolina, and
Massachusetts,, and put forward separate Webster
oral ticket? To be consistent with themselves
and the principles Of conservatism which they have
preftfsed, and TO be true TO Mr.. Webster-to do him
justice, and TO wipe out and rebuke the stigma of
the Baltimore Convention-they ought to give him
their united support When party, protesting to
be q ps ace party, and An anti military chiefJain
party, sacrifices it's principles and professions, and
the peace and quiet Of the country, in rulnpg after
sunpowder candidates, it calls for such . rebuke
asst liz likely to receive whatever may be tho
of Mr. Webster and his friends But it especially
challenges his disgust, and their open and undis-
guised Reproduction.
The cry Of Mr.. Webster's obligations TO the whig
party but adding insult to pgratitude. Like Mr..
Clay, Mr. Webster owes the WING party nothing
nothing-Aothipg. They owe him everything. They
have used him like . drudge, or dray horse, and
they havo rewarded him in promises false rs ire
d, enable shinplasters. They have used him like
. drudge, and treated him like dog. Aad now
these whining 81 cophants Of Seward are appealing
to Mr. Webster's obligations to the wing party.
The Courier is right 10 supposing that this sort Of
thing too much for the sincere friends of Mr. Web
ster ; and We doubt not, it is quite too little to
shake the imperturbable resolution Of Mr.. Webster.
The leading oracle Of Seward in this city thinks
that the House of Representatives would be good
retreat for Mr. Webster. We think 80 too not,
however, as the second Of w. H. Seward in the
Senate, but as the independent Daniel Webster, In
the position like that Of Clay and Calhoun in their
last days and like that which Benton may be ex-
pected to occupy in the next Congress. But we
shall have time enough to return Mr.. Webster to
Congress after the Presidential election Let justice
first be done to Mr.. Webster on the Presidential
question let the false record of the Baltimore Con-
venion be corrected let the intriguing ugitators
who hang fast to the sllfts Of Scward-who in turn
holds fast to the epaulettes Of Gen. Scott-let
them all be rsbuked and sent adrift. Thus Mr.
Webster, and the constitution and the laws will be
vindicated, and the schemes Of abolition inoen-
diaries will be defeated. Let Mr.. Webster and tho
friends Of Mr.. Webster stand firm.
