To the Editor of the Union:

To the Editor Of the Union:
The annual Democratic State Convention of the old
Bay State has been held to-day in Worcester II gives
exceeding pleasure be able 10 send you tdngs OF
good things; and we hasten to communicate to you an
idea OF the good feelings, enthusiasm and determined
the convention. The body was beyon. question, the
largest which has assembled in Massachusetts, for similar
purposes for several years. and the which has
deliberately and unanimously pursued is certain to have
ncacuabe effect upon the fortunes OF the Bay State
democracy.
The convention was presided over by Col. Charles
G. Greene, of the Post, who displayed all his acknowl
edged tact and ability in the discharge OF his duties as
president
The nomination for governor at the second ballot, was
bestowed upon General Caleb Gushing, by an almost
unanimous vote, and Immediately received by the
convention with entire harmony and enthusiasm such
have not lately distinguished the action OF our friends
here in their conventions.
Indeed, Mr. Editor, there is but one feeling now
throughout the whole ranks of the democracy of the old
Commonwealth; and from this day date the restora
ton of democratic supremacy in our State.
The action OF the convention, upon the subject of the
national convention, resulted happy to say, in the
appointment of Chester w Chaplin esq, of Springfield
and Hon. B. f. Halett, of Boston, delegates large
This is very fortunate selection You may therefore
rely upon Massachusetts occupy the ground in
the presidential canvass of ls4s.
The resolutions which we have adopted are from the
pen OF Jno A. Boes, esq., of Boston, and will be found
to be drawn with remarkable ability They of the
the people of the State There's good time coming

Now, keep lookout for old Massachusetts! Rhode
Island has come halfway to the democratic camp. YER

to the memory Of the gallant Butler who fell the bat
tie OF Churbusco. The very interesting official letters
of Gen Shields and Lieut. Col Dickinson, which we
this day lay before readers from the Charleston pa
pers, will show with what chvalry he met the enemy,
and how nobly he died the battlefield No officer in
this heroic war; where many distinguished men have
appeared upon the field has acted more goriously than
he has done. We have conversed with gentleman
who was junior schoolmate with Col Butler, and
from him we enabled to correct some of the errors
which have prevailed in regard to the particular family
of his name to which he belongs Some have identified
him with the family of B. +. Butler late Attorney Gene
raj of the United States others with that of Gen. W. o.
Butler, Of Kentucky; and others, again. with that of E.

moved from Virginia (Fauquer or Culpeper) to Edge

and settled the waters of the Sauda river When the
Revolution commenced he became an active partisan on
