Governor. to be supported by them III the ensuing
political caii-ass The state OF psrtes mere Is so
peculiar that the proceedings OF that CONVENTION
will be watched with an interest scarcely paral
leled in the politics of the State. Last evening
the Wings of Boston rallied at the Marlborough
Chapel for the purpose of appointing delegates to
that Convention. The meeting was an exceed
ingly spirited one, and well attended. Hon.
GEORGE MoREY presided, and MeSsrs. c. W.
Loring, George hingna,i and Thomas J. Allen,
officiated as Secretaries
Mr.. Morey, on taking the Char, made some
appropriate remarks. In the course OF which he
adverted, IN very happy and forcble manner
to the past history of political parties IN this State
Twenty-Five years ago said he the questions winch
had previously agi;ated and divided the Federal
and Democratic parties were essentially settled
and put to rest. and 4 disposition prevailed IN
both those parties to unite in the support OF a
candidate for Governor. The Democrats being
the majority 1t was agreed by common consent.
to select the candidate from that party, Marcus
Morton was then Lieut.. Governor of the State,
and, as was quite natural, his name was placed
OH the list from which the Gubernatorial cand-
date was to be selected. The leading Demo-
Gratis OF that day, however, opposed his nomina-
ton from a lack OF confidence, which they did
not hesitate to avow, in his political honesty;
and he was accordingly repudatcd by them.
while both parties united IN the support OF the
Hon. Levi Lincoln, who was almost unanimously
elected. 1t WAS soon found however, SAID Mr..
Morey that Marcus Morton had taken an appeal
from tie verdict Of his political associates TO the
people; and, as it sometimes happens that an alb
surd and preposterous clam is carried success
fully by Iiint OF perseverance, and legal shutting,
so in this case Mr.. Morton had achieved tenn
porary triumph. But, SAID Mr. Morey, it Is our
object now to strike his name from the docket.
and enter up an everlasting judgement against
him. This Speech was received with great APP
pauSc.
On motion of WI. HAYDEN Esq. Editor OF
the Atlas committee of two from each Ward
was appointed to retire and nominate 40 dele
gates to the Worcester Convention.
The Committee having retired, JONATHAN
CHAPMAN, ESQ.,, late Mayor OF the City took the
platform and made eloquent and effective
speech. in which he defined the present attitude
OF the Wing party in this State, and the grounds
upon which it must act in the next political can
vass. He said that National questions must rot
be paramount. The principal object of the Wing
l
Loco Foco control; and to accomplish this OBJ
cct, he exhoricd the party TO union and persc-
verance-without which, he said, their efforts
would be irutless He concluded by offering
series of spirited resolutions.
JOIN c. Park Esq, next took the stand, and
| have never known him to speak better than he
did on this occasion. He gave the Loco Focos a
sound drubbing for their herescs, and particularly
So tbo tod ri no ST
session of the Legislature. He urged the Wings
to be united in a grand effort to rescue Massachu-
sctts from the hands of their opponents, If they
would have their proper voice III the National
Convention. At present, said he, our influence
over National affairs is greatly impaired If we
utter our voice in relation to the matters which
concern the party generally in the United States,
we are told to look at home and TO make lslassa-
chusets Wing State. We are thus IN the pre-
dcamcnt of a man who should lecture his neigh
bors on family government, and then, on going
home, ret hogged with broomstick Mr.. Park
was, as usual, very witty, and his remarks elicit
cd frequent bursts Of applause.
The Committee of Nominations having made
their report, and the requisite number of delegates
having been appointed, the resolutions were una
nimously passed, and the meeting adjourned.
Yours truly, HANCOCK.
TIE SANTA FE RoBBERs.-Our st. Louis pa
pers of the ID inst bring us further particulars of
this band of worthless, and the remorsclcss muir
der of Charvis, the Mexican trader. The Ga
zette says:
John Mcdaniel, and fourteen associates,
some months ago, organized themselves INTO d
band for the express purpose Of jolsing Col. War
field an officer in the service of Texas having III
view the intercepting and robbing of Santa Re
traders. On their route they met the unfortunate
Charvis and five others They declared them
prisoners, and forced them to return III the dlrec
ton of Santa Fe. After some two or three days
march, they determined to divide the gold and
silver and furs, which Charvis had with him.
This done. one OF the party, named Brown, pro-
posed that they should shoot their prisoner, which
was acquiesced in BY the two Mechanics, the two
;earcrs, Berry Mason, and one other, whose
name we did not obtain, making IN all eight.
The remaining seven objected to the murder,
and left to return home. Among the latter was
DR.. de Performance Lots were accordingly cast
bv the assenters for four out Of their number to
execute the bloody deed, which fell upon the Nc
Daniels and the oearcys. Charvls was accord
pgv led about one hundred yards from their
camp. when John McDanels, the leader OF these
despcradoes drew pistol and shot at him,
wounding hun mortally, as Mason, who makes
this confession, supposes, although Charvis ran
some distance, and received the fire of the whole
party before he fell They then returned home
ward, leaving the remaining Spanlards IN the
midst of a vast wilderness, without provisions or
the means of obtaining any"
Berry and Mason are IN prison at lndepend-
epce. and the two Mechanics had arrived at 81
Louis. in custody, on the Oceana. Dr.. Preton-
tame had arrived at independence previous to the
murder being known, purchased two fine horses,
and started for Texas. The remainder OF the
r,.rt- had not arrived. and would be secured I'M
