A very large Convention, consisting of
nearly six hundred National Republicans
from all parts Of the State, was hdd in
Worcester, Mass. on the llth insant,
Hon. Nath1. Silsbee, President. The
Convention unanimously concurrcd il the
nomination of ii NRY CLA Y and
JOHN SERGEANT. Levi Lincoln, the
present incumbent, was again nominated d
for Governor; and ticket of ID Electors
of President and Vice President, a the
head ofwhich is the Hon. Charles Jack
son, Of Boston, was presented for the
support Of the National Republican Tarty
of Massachusetts. An able address was
adopted together with several resolutions,
among which is the following:--
Rrsolred, That while we deplore the
disgrace which our country has sustain
ed by the imbeci,ity Of the existing ad-
ministraton Of the Government of the
United States, and avow our apprchen-
sion that the high integrity, and proud
spirit Of patriotism which distinguished its
earlier annals have been sacrificed to a
miserable competition for the spols OF
party victory, and the personal emolu-
ments Of Office; we have strong conf
dence in the redceming power Of the
people, and an animating hope that this
great nation will again be placed under
the councils Of those eminent statesmen
by whose wisdom, under God, its power
is to be maintained, its resources devel-
oped, its industry promoted, its union es-
tablished, and the blessings Of free gov
.ernment, which eminently and almost en-
clusively it has possessed, extended to
the latest posterity.
Mr.. Webster addressed the convention
in speech of upwards of two hours in
length, which is spoken Of in the Boston
papers in terms Of the highest commen-
dation. The convention ordered 10000
copies Of its proceedings, together with
Mr.. Wcbster's speech, to be printed.

WEST.lNDIES.

Mr.. Van Buren's Bargain and sale OF
our West India trade to the British Co
vernment turns out to be more ruinous to
the American shipping interest than was
even anticipated.
Since the famous, or rather Infamous
negotiation, begun by Mr.. McLane and
concluded by Mr.. Van Buren, with G..
Britain, the tonnage of this country en-
ployed in that trade has been steadily
declining-whle that of Great Britain
has been as steadily, advancing.
The N. Y. Daily Advertiser, from MIR.
McLane's official statement of the Com
merce and Navigation Of the u. States
for l83l-has given comparative view
Of the American and British tonnage en-
tering the ports oc the United States for
1880 and l83l-by which it appears,
that the American tonnage employed in
the West India trade for the year 1880,
was 2O2, 1913 tons-in 1881, l63, ,0l2 tons
decrease of American tonnage in 1881
80, l6 tons. The British tonnage en-
tering the United States from the same
ports in 1880 was 4, l84 tons. In 1881 I,
il was LOG, 1851 tons-increase l02, ,667.
This is what may be called an expert
mental proof Of the wonderful success Of
that most wonderful arrangement. 1t is
getting back the trade Of the West In
dies with vengeance. A. few more ne
gotiations would get all our shipping
back to the wharves to rot in the docks,
and drive our merchants from the trade.

raculously, inspired TO study the Con-

was made, which exhibits his views OF

a curious subject for consideration to the

most important and essential features, if
General jackson should be reelected, +,
provided he and his friends can effect its
destruction, we have accumulating cvi-
dence every day. Let every person who

ter Messrs. Sergeant and Writ had con-
cluded their arguments in the Cherokee
case, before the Supreme Court, Gener-
al Jackson thus expressed his opinions to
gentleman of Philadelphia, with whom
he was conversing, or rather to whom he
was making an angry rhapsody upon the
subject:
"He expressed the most outrageous
anger that the court should have dared
to entertain the case; and heaped, in un-
measured terms, his bitter denunciations
upon the heads Of the judges. Heated
to excess of anger, he swore eternal ven-
gcance against the court. "We shall
never be free people, MIR. -, he
observed, until the Supreme Court is a.
bolished. 1t is a greater tyrant than the
inquisition. And, sir, if | am reelected

down. 1t is a usurpcr on the constitu-
ton. We can have no laws-no legis-
lation-no Executive, as long as this
court exists. II is a mere cabal Of fac
ton, to interfere with and defeat my plans
for the public good. There is Sergeant
at the head Of it-and Writ too!-Sir, it
is not for the Indians that they stir it
but they hope to put me down by it-but
that they can't do. know the man that
moves it," shaking his long finger with a
significant gesture Of hatred towards the
West-"but this court, Mr.. -, must
and shall be put down. Your represen-
tatives deserted me on the repeal Of the
o5lh section of the Judiciary Act, or we
should have drawn its teeth this last ses-
sion-but it shall yet be done, or it shall

Mr.. WILDE, the member of Congress
from Georgia, has written long reply to
the inquiry of a Georgia committee con-
cerning his sentiments on the doctrine of
Modification. The reply has been pub
lished, and the following extract is a pas
sage of it,
'Mr Jefierson's name reminds me, that
some five and twenty years ago, the Pa
triarch of American Freedom, assisted
by Southern politicians, laid in the exclu-
sion Of all commerce with foreign ma
tions, the foundation Of protection to do
mcstlc manufacture. "We must bring
our workshops from Europc!" "We
must not consume the productions ofthose
who inlure and insult u.s." Perish
commerce!-Letsour constitution live!"
Such was the language which for years
found an echo in every Southern bosom,
from the Potomac to the Mississippi
Such was the feeling that carried us
through Embargo--non intercourse
n-importation-war. Need l tell you,
which, in eightcen hundred and sixteen,
carried tariff partly for revenue, partly
protective, against the strenuous opposi-
tion Of the navigating INTEREST," And
must j protest, oven to you, that this re-
capitulation, is not made to defend or ac-
cuse, the past or the present-to incul-
pate or cxculpate, any man, or party, or
people-but simply because it is the truth.
"The thorns we reap are of the tree we
planted;" they may not wound us the
less; but surely we have no right to inn
pute all the injury to others. do not
say we ought TO bear them patiently or
at ALL i will not presume to tell whole
commonwealth what they can or cannot
bear. | will recall to the recollection OF
my countrymen, even at the risk of some
odium to myself, that the manufacturing
States were made so by our Legislation.
We destroyed their shipping and they
turned to manufactures. Must we de-
stroy their manufa ctures that they may
return to shipping?
ut is natural enough that we should
seek to remove restrictions which are
hurtful to our industry: but it is equally
natural they should strive to retain what
they imagine bene fetal to theirs.
considering when-by whom-and
under what circumstances they were i'm
posed, it is asking too much Of human ma
ture, to expect they will be readily aben-
doned. A part of the population on which
they were forced, once spoke of seeding
the Union if they were persisted III. But
the Union has survived their discomfort.
They converted our folly to their benefit; (;
and now ,ce mediate secession unless
they will instantly relnquish their advan-
Itage. Perhaps they have enjoyed it
long cnough-Perhaps they have mole
than indelnnified themselves for the los
ses which we made them suffer. Ger
tainly our injustice, five committed any,
cannot justify theirs. Most undoubted-
ly the interchange Of wrong for wrong is
impolitic-inhuman-unchristian. Still
the practical question recurs: must we
not suffer something from our inpru-
dence' Can we expect instant conces-
sion? Shall we not be satisfied to win
back again, step by step, and with the
arms of truth and reason, the ground
which we lost by the abandonment of
both?'

1t is the policy Of those who advocate
the pernicious doctrine of Free Trade to
create an impression that the "poor ope-
ratives" in our Manufacturing establish
ments are brought up in ignorance and
seryitude. Nothing is farther from the
fact The whole aspect Of things in this
place, stamps ialschood upon the face Of
such an assertion. We know of no town

twixt the poor and the rch-none where
the schools are placed on a more liberal

eral attendance at church on the Sabbath
hone where the poor people are better
