marks He said he was greatly surprised that the
Convention had conferred upon him so distingus he'd
an honor as to place his name by the side of Mr..
Phillips as the representative of the sentiment of old
Massachusetts upon the side of Freedom. He should
greatly prefer tie decline the position and yield the
post TO some better man. for we had arrived at such
crises as demanded the best energies of our most
distinguished citizens. He commented with great
severity upon the tleachery of those who had betray
ed our noble State into the hands ofthe slave power
Mr. c. F. Adams, in hehalf of the Committee on
the address and resolutions reported that further time
would be required for the preparation of the address
than could then be given, but submitted a series of
Resolutions which gave a most fitting expression to
the sentiment which moved the hearts of the Con-

the most brilliant and powerful et1erts of his genius

tablet of our memory, but hope to publish uer-

Cattle show at Fitchburg.


The first Cattle Show and Exhibition of the Glitch
burg Agricultural and Industrial Association which

most successful affair in every respect highly creditabe
to the Society and to the County of Worcester, famed
it is for good stock and good husbandry OF course
the show not large some of the most recent
exhibitions of the Worcester County Agricultural So
ciety but much larger than could have been req
sonably expected considering how recent is the or
ganizaton of the Society and the difficulties attendant
upon the starting of new enterprise of this kind
But if the show not large in some respects, it
superior the last exhibition in this city, for in
stance, in the specimens of Swine and Sheep. So
many Gne animals of the former description, we have
never at any exhibition, and the excellent condi-
ton Of all the varieties exhibited, gave assurance that
Fitchburg ncighbors intend to go the whole hog in
the pork line.
With the trial Of Working Oxen we were highly
gratifed. Several single teams entered and the
performance such would have ELECTED the warm
est enconiums of praise from the best Judges of the
comparative merits of well trained cattle at any exhibit
ton in the State.
The address of Hon. Charles Hudson was listened
10 D iaSe audience OF ladies and gentlemen, who an
peared highly gratded, and deeply interested through
out. 1t not what would be called brilliant pro-
duction but had merits beyond brilliancy for it was
sound, practical discourse, Astounding in valuable
hints, and well calculated for the improvement and in
structon of the farmers present, for whom it seemed
especially designed.
After the Address concluded, about four hundred
ladies and gentlemen repaired the hotel and sat down
to bounul repast, which had been provided. and ac
ter the cloth removed, INDUCED in such feast Of
reason and flow of soul would put to shame the stiff

The show of Fruit and Vegetables was not large, but
what there was afforded ample evidence that Worces
ter North does neglect those important articles of cu
tlvation. Among fine specimens of Vegetables we no.
ticed eighteen Pumpkins, reared by Dr. Kittredge of
fitchbug from one seed the aggregate weight of which
300 lbs.
Time and space win not permit us to say all that we
desire to say, so we must conclude with the remark
that IN our opinion the agrcuturasts of the north part
the County, have every reason to congratulate them
selves upon the success of their efforts for the encour
agement and promotion of agriculture and by express
sing the hope that they may go on in the good work
they have begun, until they shall equal the exhibitions
OF Worcester Centre, for it is noble rivalry, and
worthy of the most abundant success.

THE MEDICINE HOW IT oPy

"Bn, ism, it a good Idea. in view Of facts every day transporting
around us. TO talk OF organizing the whole North into a grand Anti
Slavery party J"
This is the interrogatory Of the SATURDAYS Tribune. 1t
certainly was considered a capital idea, in lS43, to pave the
way for one Of the iavorite sons of New York 10 the Presi.
dency in 1852, and to crafty the revenge of another. Ac-
%eordinely, the Buffalo Platform was constructed, and
Messrs. Seward and Truman Smith proclaimed General
Taylor the champion Of the Wilmot Proviso. Mr.. Van Blu.
rem absorbed enough votes in New York and elsewhere
TO defeat General Cass. Since that time, the good
idea" of organizing the whole North, into q grand
Anti-Slavery party" has been sedulously prosecuted. Agi.
tation has been kept alive-lhe compromise Of the section.
al question has been retarded and it's defeat sought to be
accomplished by every stratagem Of faction and despera.

posed, and the fatal tendency of their Vaccinations appreci

sound and patriotic, TOO devoted 10 the Union and the Con
s'itu,ion to encourage or tolerate a geographical division :"
parties, the Tribune, with q sardonic grin of derision, ask:
of the exploding hurnbug, isn't it q "good idea?" Certainly
it was, we repeat, a capital idea. Whatever evils il has pro-
duced, it can nevertheless boast of having resulted in some
good. It has relieved the Democratic party of some trouble
some membranes, and by dena,ionalizing the Wing party
has left it powerless and PROSTATE, with a clear perception
of the certainty of being soon exonerated from the cares and
nerplexiiies of conducting the administration Of public af

Iloye the ladies', every one
The laughing ripe brunette,
Those dark-eyed daughters OF the sun,
With tresses black as jet.
What raptures in their glances giowl
Rich tints their cheeks disclose,
And in the little dimples there
Young smiling Loves repose.
I love the ladies, every one
The blends so soft and fair,
With looks so mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair.
How lovely are their sylph-like forms,
Their alabaster hue,
And bushes far more beautiful
Than rose buds bathed in dew.
l love the ladies, every one
Fen those whose graceless FORMS,
Are rugged as the oak that's borne
A hundred winters storms.
The younp the old, the stout, the thin,
The short as well as tall.
Widows and wives, matrons and maids,
Oh! yes, I love them all.
Hove the ladies, every one
None but a wretch would 1out 'em:
This world would be a lonely place
If we were left without 'em.
But lighted by q woman's smile,
Away all gloom is driven,
And the most humble home appears
Almost a little heaven.

H ELECTIVE JGDICIARY.-It must be borne in
mind by the electors Of the city and county, at the
coming election, that, in addition TO the usual officers
10 be voted for, and the new Offices recently created, there
is an important amendment 10 the Constitution to be passed
upon BY the people. That amendment takes from the Gov.
ernor of the State the appointing power, in respect 10 the
Judges, and makes the Judiciary elective. So much
has been said for, and against, the wisdom of the pro-
Necessary. Our own opinion COMEDIES win, wbat we y.
lieve 10 be the popular voice, namely, that the amendment
is a wise conception, and that ii is calculated TO work out a
Wholesome reformation, on the bench, by removing from
thence those officials whose pretensions have been political
subserviency, or close consequently TO the appointing pow
e. II can hardly be doubted that q very large majority Of The
citizens Of this Commonwealth are in favor of making the
judiciary elective, and the proposition can only be defeated
by tricks, concerning which we have heard some rumors,
but Of which we are unable 10 form 9 conception.
