The Democratic Nominations In Massaeh,s.,,
Our private correspondence breathes more anir,,.,
and buoyant spirit than we have seen in the r,mho,a
party since the spring elections Our friends in Kenuc

favored us with their opinions speak in the most cbss
terms OF the sound condition of the public sen,imen,
Our principles have proved their value in the measure.

glory to our arms, and may bring honorable peace
But if peace does not Immediately come there is an in

tested among other evidences by the rapidly with which
the ranks of army are filed which will urge On tho
war with more energy, and bring to an honorable
peace through an honorable war. healthier state Of
public sentiment is showing itself in regard to the W.,
mot Provso and to the territory slang of the
opposition.
Among the cheering demonstrations of public sen,;m,
which have recently appeared we refer with great pleas
ure to the Democratic Convention of Massachusetts
Our friends indulgng hopes of carrying even b,,
State which has long been stranger to them. One Of
these evidences is to be found in the communicated
which we publish this evening from some of the dele
gates OF the convention. Another evidence is to be
found in the trumpet tones of the Boston Post
We haveperused with pleasure the able and energetic
article this subject which appears in the columns Of
that paper In view Of the dsgracel resolutions adout
ed by the wing Legislature OF that State in relation to the
war; and in view OF the spirit manifested on the subject
by the wings of Massachusets-the character of which
may be inferred from such precious documents as the
letter of Gen. Howe, which we recently published as
well as from the speeches of Messrs. Ashmun, Hudson
and Co., in Congressn view of this feeling among the
wings of the Bay State, the nomination of Gen. Gushing

two parties will be found equally firm and reliable on all
the other cardinal points of the democratic creed tall
events bchooved the honor OF Massachusetts, to signal
ize the fact that while the dominant party there have
shown themselves ready to desert and betray the cause
of their country in the democracy at least know how
to appreciate and support the who has taken pa
trotic stand in her behalf.
We notice. with great pleasure, the spirit of conf.
dence and encouragement which breathes from the ar
Gle of the Post and the strong statement which it con-
tans of the unanimity and good hope with which the
Massachusetts, democracy will take the field in the CON-
ing If Massachusetts-the very headquarters
of wing ascendency-s destined to undergo, as the
Post has it, democratic revival and regeneration now
is the very time, of all Others for such result de-
mocratic triumph in that State now will be- in every
sense most honorable both to the State and to our coun
try. It will show that the most complete and fom.
dabe organization of capitalists and of privileged classes
backed too by the prescription of long ascendcncy
is inadequate to sustain sanction in the eyes of the
people party position of moral treason 1t will show
that the patriotic impulses and instincts of American c

combinations OF personal interests and the most unscr

metropolis of federalism, which, of yore originated and
set on foot the Hartford Convention
