The Whigs Of the State busy at the work OF
organization, and primary meetings 10 be held
this evening in our various wards TO prepare for the
November election. The Wing convention for the
nomination of State officers will be holden at wor-
cestcr October 3D.. There is little doubt of the re-
nomination Of the present incumbents.
As have already told you, the Docofocos have
had their convention and nominated their men.
The great gun among their orators was that we'll
known 4" soldier Of fortune" Mr. Il. IIallett He
seems To have managed matters in his way,
although he was obliged TO submit 10 one pretty
hard rub from brother Looofoco. II was in this
wise Among other remarks, Mr.. Hallett animal
verted upon supposed attempt TO introduce aboli-
tionsm into the convention. The allusion hit a
Mr.. Judd, who rose and aptly remarked in reply
that the rebuke came with very good grace
from one, who, after whirng round the whole ma.
tional armament had at last landed among De Demo.
Gratis" This was a dagger under the fifth rib u
poor Hallett and his friends tried 10 hiss down the
audacious speaker, who had ventured upon such a
retort The taunt would have been of no conse-
quence. had il not been 80 provokingy true.
Among the notable resolutions which this Loco.
foco convention have adopted, find the following.
Rssolved, That the rebukc and reaction which
swept away the refuge Of lies in lS40, have al
ready begun, and are moving onward from Maine
hibiting change of ~ 900 voters against Taylor
ism in five States in many months; so that we
have substantial grounds for congratuatng the
vetoless President upon the prospect Of his having
nothing 20 do but sign the bills OF Democratic
Congress-
Now, ifthc mild and gentlcmanly persons who have
sanctioned this resolution really believe what they
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-09-27

say, for what, in the name of common sense, are
they contending? They profess TO have the assur
ance Of Congress of their way Of thinking, with
President who will not veto its acts II this il the
fact, what more do they want Alas the spoils
are what they lack. Ii is not enough that the pop
ular voice shall be needed in the administration of
affairs II is not enough that the viii of the people
legitimately expressed, shall give law. The public
patronage must be in the hands of the party; the
Sub treasury must be in Locofoco keeping There
must be more chances for the Moores the Osbornes
and the Denbys; and, 10 attain this, the man
whose views of public duty such as to give the
utmost possible efficacy to the public will, must be
viihed, traduced, and blackguarded TO any extent,
without regard TO his past services his position
as the Chief Magistrate of the American people.
To show you that this dirty system of attack is not
confined To the columns of the Union, will quote
another resolution from the string appended to the
address emanating from the late Springfield con-
veniion of the Locofocos of Massachusetts:
''Resolped That we haze been disappointed in the
personal material of General Taylor; for though
deficient as statesman, verify believed he had
in him some touch of the quality of the immortal
Jackson, and would himself be President; but 10,
and behold! in the sea of diplomacy, he clings to
the cabinet like boy to his bladders when beyond
his depth, and for the first time in the history Of
this republic we have an irresponsible regency as
the Execuuve-a Cabinet with President, instead
of President with Cabinet"
''Thc sea of diplomacy is, we are aware a very
treacherous sea. Diplomacy, the dictionary in
forms US, is what pertains to our relations with
foreign ministers, the diplomatic corps II is
therefore with a lack of independence in his deal
ings with members Of that body that the Massach,-
sets Locofoco convention charge the President.
Now, there is very simple plan by which all the
dangers of this "sea" may be avoided; but, simple
as it is Locofocoism must despair of employing it..
Plain, downright, unreserved honesty offset for
the subtety of the craftiest diplomat that told
lie; and the people have confidence in their
President as an honest well brave man; and
they will therefore trust him the ''sea of diplo
macy" on the sea of battle assured that on
either the helm is safe in his strong hands. And
let scurriity have its says it cannot sully lau
rel on the brow of General Taylor ~
