Political Movements in Massachusetts,.

POiaficdl M0ren1enfs IN Massachusetts,.
The several parties have now their candidates II
the field. The nomination of Governor, by the
third party, was rendered to Mr.. Hoar, of Con.
cord but he would not accept of it; and, finally, il
was conferred upon Mr.. Phillips, of Salem, for.
merly wing member of Congress, and who has
been stumplng the State against Taylor on the
ground that he is not whIg-an uncommonly
excellent argument, one would think, to catch de.
mocrats with. Mr.. Mills, the candidate for Lieu
tenant-Governor, Is an old bunker of the dirties
sort, and has been OF no more use TO those whom
he has Just left than TO hold tat Offices. He is
man Of small talent ranking about third as a
lawyer at the country bar. The regular liberty
men are somewhat indignant that there Is not,
either on the Presidential or State ticket one OF
their number.
The democrats have nominated their ticket O.
last year; do not think il will make very great
difference TO them-the pariy's strength will be
rallied upon the ticket, especially if we should
know, on the 18th of November that Gen. Cass
was elected on the 18th. The Democratic Conyen-
ton was large and enthusiastic. The resolution,
recommending the removal of Manus Morton,
was carried by roar.
The Wing Convention will meet on Wednesday
next ; but II is so certain that Briggs and Reed
will be e-nominaied, that have said above that
all parties now have their candidates in the field
You have seen that Mr. Webster, in his Marsh
held speech, foreshadowed the nomination of Gov.
Briggs; and that nomination will play the deuse
with the conscience" wings. They cannot
make any valid objection to the man, and their op-
position 10 hlm will assume all the characteristics
OF faction. In fact, no WING, or ant-slavery man,
can, nationally, object TO the reelection of Gov
briggs; and II must be admitted that the sons of
ZeIulah have proved too stIong for the boters
IN making moves on the political board. Some
OF the conscience wings have very kindly sug-
gested plan by which the difficulty in the party
Can be got over 1t Is this: that the regular wings
at the Worcester Convention, shall quietly drop
Gov Briggs, end nominate, Mr.. Hoar, in favor Of

And, truly, the leap made by Sappho, IN whose
mouth Ovid plans the above monopolizlng senti-
ment, was nothing compared with tina, Mr. Hoar
has taken: Mr.. Webster might help him to ano-
thor, and, / think, most apt quotation, from
greater than Ovid "Sic notus Ulysses -
Mr.. Hudson has been talked of as the wing
candidate for Governor, and so has Abbot Law
renee; but the exigences of the times demand
that Mr.. Briggs should continue to lead the party,
and have no doubt of his election, il not BY the
people, al least by the legislature that is il there
should be any Legislature chosen. There are men
OF all parties, who do not hesitate to say. that
