Hon. DANIEL p. KING, late Speaker of the
House of Representatives in that State, was
elected in the Salem District which was re-
presented at the last session by Mr.. Salton-

districts there was again no election, though

THE OLD BAY STATE.

The Wings of Old Massachusetts held a
State convention at Worcester, on Wednes-
day, the 9TH inst. to nominate State officers
for the ensuing political year. Gov. DAVIS
was renominated with great unanmity, bu,
declined. The Hon. GEORGE n. BRIcGs,
OF Piltsfield, was then nominated for Gov
ernor, he having received 700 out of the
$50 votes which were cast. Mr.. Briggs has
been representative in Congress for the
last twelve years from the Berkshire Dis
lrict, and has long been known throughout
New England, as one of the most vigilant,
industrious, and faithful members of the
Massachusetts Delegation. The Boston
Atlas speaks of him as follows. The first
part of the paragraph, we can endorse from
our own personal knowledge of the man.
" His honesty and sincerity of purpose
his fidelity to his duties, both public and
private, have never been questioned, even
by his political opponents, while his private
virtues have won him the love and esteem of
a host of personal friends. On all the great
questions of moral and philanthropic reform
he has taken an active part-but moderation
candor, forbearance and perfect fairness
towards those who differed from him in their
views, have ever been most conspicuous in
his whole course. Those who knew him
bes, have ever most highly esteemed him,
both in public and private life. Six times
has he been elected to Congress by his i'm
mediate neighbors, among whom he has al
ways lived, and it is remarkable fact, that
although Berkshire has most generally given
Locoloco majorities for both candidates Mr..
Briggs has never once failed to receive a
ma ority Of the votes Of that county. As
was well said by Hon. Abbott Lawrence, at
the Convention, Mr.. Briggs has been pre-
eminen,y the architect of his own fortunes.
In early life the labor Of his own hands
earned him his daily bread, and since then

A MAGNIFICENT PREsENr.-The English

On motion, ordered that committee be

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNEle,
OUR CANDIDATE,

we announced, in postscript, last week
that the Convention which met here last
Thursday had nominated the Hon. GEORGE
L. MARSH of this town as the Wing candi-
date to represent this District in the mex,
Congress. We this week spread before our
readers, IN ertenso, the proceedings of the
Convention. These proceedings were char
acteriscd by great harmony and good feeling,
and the nomination of the Committee was
confirmed, by per capita vote of the whole
body OF Delegates, with entire unanimity.-
Though several of the towns, in the more re-
mote parts of the district, we're not repre-
scented, yet as whole, the convention was
one OF the most respectable, that we ever at
tended on any similar occasion. Mn. MAnsu
may therefore be regarded as the first choice
.: the Wing freomcn of the District. And
whether we regard his position in the geo.
graphical centre of the district; his age, in
the very bloom and vigor of life and the
palmy state Of his intellectual usefulness
the soundness of his political principles and
his ability to defend them; or his high per-
sonal character, his unimpeachable integrity,
and the acknowledged purity of his life, we
have no hesitation in saying that the choice
OF the Convention was the most fortunate
and JudIcious that could possibly have been
made. In saying this,we of course mean no
fp tt,n
They were all good men, and good Wings.
ihey had all rendered the party valuable
and important services, and, we have no
doubt, they will all cI,ecrlully support the
gentleman who has received the nomination.
In regard to the qualifications of Mr..
MARSH for the Office for which he has been
nominated, we have yet to meet the first
man who questions them. Even his political
enemies acknowledge his preemnent abi-
ties, and the commanding weight of his per-
sonal character. For a full exposition of his
political opinions we refer our readers to his
speech, correct report of which will be
found among the proceedings of the Con-
'e"'ioh' Oh Inc Two great questions of the
ABOLITION or SLAVERY and PROTECTION TO
AMERICAN LABOR his sentiments will meet a
cordial respose in the breast of every true
son of New England. While his views on
the subject of the currency and the doctrine
of Instructions will also be found TO be in
unison with those Of the great body of North
ern Wings. But the speech requires no
comments. 1t will speak for itself, and the
crowded state of our columns admonishes us
to be brief. In conclusion, therefore, we
say, from the spirit of harmony and union
which animated the members of the Con-
vention, we can have no doubt that Mr.
MARSH will be triumphantly elccted-and, in
the event Of his election, we shall have a
Representative of whom not only Vermont,
but New England may be proud.

HON. WILLIAM SLADC.

We are gratiiied to know that the many
and warm friends of this gentleman who
were present at the District Convention, feel
perfectly satisfied with the treatment of his
claims on that occasion.
Although the choice Of the delegates fell
upon our able and accomplished townsman,
there were not wanting acknowledgements
of the high estimation in which Mr.. S!ade is
held, not only among his former constituents,
but throughout the third district, and the
State at large. The long career of useful
and able public service which has distinguish
cd the life of Mr.. S. has not been unobsery-
ed by the people ;--and we believe we bu,
speak the common sentiment in this district,
when we propose his name to the State Con-
vention for the Office Of Governor Of YER
mont
Should he be selected by that body, no
man who knows him, (and who in Vernon,
does not y would hesitate to insure to him n
triumphant election, and to the State dig
nilied, talented and patriotic Chief Magis-
trate.
