The Worcester, Mass, Convention.

The Worcester, Mass, Convention.
The Mass State Convention of persons +" OPP
posed to the nomination of Cass and Taylor"
was holden on the 2Sth according to tie call.
In numbers, very respectable, though it was small
if considered in relation to the latitude of the
call the correspondent of the Atlas puts the
number at 1000, including Wings, Democrats,
Aboltonists, boys and all no larger than
the Taylor ratification meeting Of the torn of
Worcester Messrs Allen, Wilson Of Natick,
Campbell of Ohio, J. r. Giddings, Iovcioy, Phil.

in this mattcr-thc last being received with his
scs, but finally adopted. No nomination of Pres
ident was made but it was resolved that there is
no man other than Joshua Gddngs 'to whom
at this critical moment tier cause can be more
safely entrusted" A delegation at large Of two
Wings, two Democrats, and two Abotionists
was appointed to the Buffalo Convention of the
/
delegates was recommended State Commit
tee was also appointed. The first three speakers
named above we're delegates to the Philadelphia
Convention, and did not consent to the nomina-
/ lion of Gen Taylor: Messrs. Allen and Wilson
arc still against supporting him. but Mr. Camp
bell of Ohio utterly refused to take that stand.
He would not identify himself with the opposi.
ton then, nor at all until he had consulted his
constituents. On the whole, this convention
| falls tar below our expectations. Among those
who took part in it, we do not recognize single
/ Massachusetts Wing except the gentlemen who
signed The call and originated the meeting their
appeal therefore has met with no such response
as was anticipated. Again, in its action we are
disappointed: the Wh- portion seemed more
reluctant to par, with their WING brethren than
seems to be to postpone definite action until the
ID of August In the interim the passionate
will have tine to get cool the honest con.
science Wings will have time to examine the
matter thoroughly aud learn to serve their coun-
try as best they may, the result we oppre-
bend, will be, that the disaifsctcd Wings will f.
nally by common consent arrive at the concIu-
sion that the only mode Of making cl'ectual re-
sistance to the slayocracy is to cease quirreling
among themselves about Gen. Taylor, and to IT,
mite one ard all in electirg Free SOIL Congress-
This expectation is confirmed by the proceedings
of meeting subsequently holden IN Boston and
managed by the leaders in the Worcester meet
ing. The chairman raised the question whether
Idy'or is Wing, and HUE Democrat, and e.
cited contradictory answers. Mr. Giddings then
took the stand and hit right, left, ana iront-de .
spatching Taylor, CdSS, Tnn Buren and C2ay.--
The last two he slld, killed tn emselves by their
letters in l6ii-'Cass can't get single slave
State, nor New York, nor Ohio, nor even Mich-
gan, and the Locos may as well begin to make
his gr4ve.,rone, and ylor can't get Ohio SO
the fight is not to be between Taylor and Cass,
hut Taylor and The nominee Of he Bg6iio Con-
rrniioa! Who can that be? With Ue5sier,
Cos, Yay'or, Ciay, Yon b,wcn and Hale thus
.ur lrlly disposed ot we guess these gentle
are thinking more of Mr.. Cuttings himself
H my body else. Absurd as it H. we apprc-
/ Aoal these gentlcncn are drelming that MI the
cladiiotes Of oA the existing plrties are to be
ropuliated, and political millennium beg.n on
81 Of August next with MIR Gldlngs, or some
other entirely new nun. They are sadly mista-
ken. They can't even carry the aboluouists
with them; and Instead f hrmonzing all par
ties, we venture the prediction that each parry
will count these gcntIemen and their candidate
as enemies.
