The more we hear of their actions from those who

Henry Bib, fugitive slave" He retailed some miser-
able misrepresentation against Gen. Cass.
We have conversed with member of Congress who
was at Buffalo during the convention He describes as

of the New York papers calls it. He says that he trav

The Taylor wings are beginning to fear the desertion
of voters from their ranks to Van Burenism, whilst they
thoroughly despse and bitterly abuse him. The Rochester

it has gained for him. The fact is many of the voun

notes the last morning of their session with members from

In replying to an article which our neighbor of the
Intelligencer had copied from Boston paper we took
occasion to show that the unposperous condition of GER
tain branches of manufactures in Massachusetts, was not
owing to the taro 1885, but to other causes and chiefly
the expansion and subsequent contraction of
paper credits in that Commonwealth.
striking evidence of the truth of what we advanced
is furnished by the following estimate made by the Bos-
ton Courier OF the amount which citizens of Massachu
sets have embarked in few leading enterprises prn
