Mass COnyentiOnmMr HaIC'S Address.

The Free Soil convention at this place on Friday
last, was fully attended, considering the bad weather
and roads-flng of our largest churches to over
flowing. Hon. Milton Brown presided, assisted by
Col. Porter Martin, of Wlliamstown, A. D. Perry,
Esq, of Painfeld, R. G. Buckley, ESQ., of Moretown,
Dea. Joseph Hancock, of Middesex, g. G. w. Leav-
lit. Esq, of Worcester N. George Clarke and C. c.
Briggs, Esqrs., Secretaries.
In the forenoon, addresses were made by C. c.
Riggs, ESD, of Burlington, R. G. Buckley, ESQ., and
Hon. Jacob Scott. In the afternoon, at o'clock,
came the Hon. John P. Hale, and he enchanted the
vast audience for more than two hours in brcathess
silence, save an occasional outbuIst of spontaneous
approval of the thrilling eloquence and noble sentl
nents of the speaker. We could not do justice to
Mr.. Hac's speech, should we make the attempt; nor
have we time to speak of it as we desire Suf-
fee it to say that it by far the ablcst political adj
dress that heard and greatly exceeded every
Thing that we have ever previously heard or read from
the same source. Cassism and Tayorsm were utter
ly demolished; and we do not believe that had vote
been taken at the close of he address, single indi-
vdua in the great assembly could have been found to
eXpes their preference for either Cass or Taylor
less 1t were some oficc~hoder or office eXpocant-
His vindcaton of MIR. Van Buren's present position
was triumphant while he frankly acknowledged that
his past course the slavery question had been wrong
as had been his own and whose had not? We have
reason to know that many who had hitherto stood ou
against Van Buren,, were fully convinced by Mr.. IIales
argument that he was entitled to the confidence ant
support of all the friends of freedom in the presen
crisis.
Mr. Hale spoke but briefly in the evening, being
completely exhausted with his rapid travels and ardu
Gus abors in this State.
COVE learn that his meetings in Danvie, Iras
burgh, and Cambridge, were fully attended, mucl
so that some of them of necessity holden in th
open air, and that his speeches told with powerful eff
feet. Long may this noble man live, to honor the Clio
rious cause he has espoused, and to TO BE HONOKEl
by those who have hearts to appreciate goodness an
greatness

Outrageous Frand Of lhe Who's,

That he two great parties are fully aware that the
light Of truth would be utterly destructive Of their
prospects in the Presidential election is fully evinced
by the abomnable frauds and deception to which
they resort.
A game has just come to light which the Wing Ma.
tional Committee at Washington are carrying on that
ought to meet the and contempt of every ngen-
uous man. Hon. Truman Smith, member of Congress
from Connecticut, remains at Washington to super
intend the management Of the wing eleconoerng ar
my. This is the same gentleman who reported bill
last winter to pay $4,000 for the Amisad Captiyes
and who boldly declared on The floor of Congress that
the, Wilnut Frovso was "a GREAT HUMBtG" and whose
letters in favor OF Gen Taylor have been published
through all our wing papers, Il now appears thot this
national wing committee under the lead of Mr.. Smith,
has be- n publishing large editions Of two different
kinds of pamphes~-one for circulation at the NORTH
and the other at the SOUTH. The drift of the first u.s.
to denounce MIR. Van Buren, as friend of slavery,
and exalt Gen. Taylor friend of the Proviso! The
other is a abored attempt to cxculpae Mr.. Fillmore
from the charge Of being an ABoLITIoNIsT, and hum
bly, apoogsing for his vote against the Athenon Gag
What HONEST Wing is willing to be accessory tt
such despicable meanness?

Take il Down!

If the editor of the Waterman desires to maintain
a reputation for common honesty, to say nothing of
any higher profession, demand of him that he take
down that Signal falsehood, at the head of his col
umn+, by which Gen. Taylor is made to endorse the
Wmot Proviso. He kno,cs that Gen. Taylor has
tcice explicitly denied that any such Interpretation of
his letter was authorized. Haul it down! we say, OR
take your chance with other common falsifers and de
ceivers.

Later from Europe.

The Cambria, from Liverpool, arrived at Bos
ton on Friday last, with dates to Sept 23d-
three days later than by the Hermann. The
general condition of affairs, both commercial and
political, remained as before.
ENGLAND.-The weather had continued fine
for the securing OF the balance of the harvest,
and there are no worse reports concerning the
potato crop, which is favorable. Flour fully
sustains the rates current ut previous adviccs-
In Liverpool, holders Of the best American
Flour were enabled to obtain from 32s to 3is
per barrel.
Lord John Bentinck fell and expired in fit
of apopexy while walking alone from Wcbcck
Abbey to Thoresby Park, to dine with the Earl
of Manners on the afternoon of the 2ist
IRELAND.-The latest advices state that tran
guilty everywhere prevails. -Four more leaders
in the rebellion movement have been arrested
William Mitchell, the exile, DIR Antsell, Edward
Hollywood and John Kavnnagh. The special
commission for trying the State prisoners had
opened and bills Of indictment for high treason
reported against Messrs Smith O'Brien, McAla-
nus, Orchard, Thine, and ODonnel Their
trials would not commence till the following
week. Other indictments would be found
against Nlcagher and the other prisoners. There
is said TO be not the slightest excitement in
Clonmel, where the Commission is sitting, and
not more than dozen persons collected in the
neighborhood of the courthouse.
FRANoE.-The elections resulted unfavorably
for the Government, and affairs seemed TO be
approaching another crisis.
Louis Napoleon was first among the successful
candidates for the Assembly, almost wherever
voted for His elevation to the Presidency is
confidently predicted, and his arrival in Paris,
which was soon anticipated, was expected to be
the signal for the new upturning that seems des-
tined to take place. He is still in London.
GERMANY seems rocked from centre to cir
conference by internal connections. Excuses
of revolutionary character have occurred at
Frankfort, Cologne, Berlin, Potsdam, Posen,
and Upper Silesia Serious disturbances oc-
Cured at Vienna, on the 18th, 18th, and l4th,
which compelled the minister to yield to the
demands Of the populace.
RussIA.-The Liverpool Journal of the 2Ith
ult. contains an account of formidable ememe
at ST. Petersburg, in consequence of the reap
pearancc of the cholera The lower classes
charged the Government with attempting TO
poison them, and erected barricades. Troops
were called out, and the Emperor made a
speech to the dsaffected, declaring that the wish
tation was of God, and not of man. The result
of the affair is not stated.
