Baltimore, Oct. 24, 9 25, a. m, Ji(r. Webster died at two minutes before three o’clock this (Sunday) morning. His family Mtd friends ware at his bedside. He was ftilly conscious of his situation, anil his intellect was unclouded, so much so that he made up a dispatch for his Department at Washington oil Thursday. His disease -was inflamntion of the bowels. At ten o’clock on Saturday might lie ,par ted with bis family and friends, and .prayed loud and fervently, calling on liie God, to forgive his sins through the merits, of .Jesus Christ.

We have before alluded to the fact that the disnnionists have been electioneering for Gen. Scott.- This we presume will not.be denied, ns most every observer of passing events has noticed it. The Scott men know their motive, and treat it with contempt. If those men were not gross, imposters, thqy would not be found electioneering for one man and-voting .for another. .What Is .the motive at the bottom of this matter ? ,It is this—they know that there are a great ma ny whigs connected avith the Union .party— men who from patriotic motives have thrown of every distinction, whether whig or demo crat, and Tote the Union electoral ticket The men who compose this ticket are all ood Union men, true to the Georgia plat ^ form, to the South and to the Union.
