BOSTON SYMPATHY WITH SECESSION.

Mavor Wiqhtman of Boston and his fellow toadies
have been loading down the rebel Ministers, Mason
and Slden with all sorts of luxuries. With Keen
ness quite characteristic the Mayor has spared his
private purse in his mnstrations, by taking his pres
ents from store of supplies furnished by the kind
ladies of Massachusetts for our sick soldiers. The
Boston Adreytiser thus refers TO the outrage;
When Mr.. Wightman had taken it into his head
that il would be good thing to pay few public at
tentions to the distinguished party AT Fort Warren
world for bis supplies. He would have done much
men, who have been riding in the oity's carriages,
and drinking the citys wine, and smoking the city
cigars, with little ntermisson since the LIST of JAN
uary.
"But, it will I've said, this step was necessary to
save the prisoners from suffering. Not so-it WIS
not necessary III this city TO pervert poblic charity
in order TO obtain linen aud hospital delcacies for
any case of necessity. But beside that the Mayors
interference was. not wanted in any shape. The
United States had its proper officers at the FORT
charged with the duty of providing oil that was
necessary, and furnished with the means OF dong
so; and they were not only able to do but also did,
oil that was necessary, although somewhat emhar-
raised by the constant nermeddhDgo busy officials
part Of whom, under Mr. Wightman's directions, as
we understand have been sweeping, garnishng, and
withdrawing with such superlatiye yigor, ana have
made themselves such unntigated nusances, that
ut last to the great relief of Col. Dimck, peremp-
tory orders have come from Washington TO exclude
all city officials from the iort."
