The political proceedings in the Norfolk County
Democratic Conventions, on Tuesday last, have en-
hvsned our political world considerably. The old
liners as you have seen, "bolted," when the ques-
ticn Of coales, ling with the freesoers came up for
decision, and the matter was decided Affirmative
~ They put new ticket in nomination, and is
sued an address against voting for free soilers
This would have gone far toward deciding the fate
Of the coalition, but that on the Same day the
democrats and free sellers of Essex county came to-
gether, and formed Senatorial ticket, which ap-
pears to sat,fy both parties, and therefore may be
reasonably supposed safe for those who put it up.
Last year the coaitionsts carried but two Senators
in Essex this year, they declare they will, in con.
sequence Of a perfect union" carry the whole
five, which will make up for the loss of those in
Norfolk should they lose the latter county, because
of the boiling" of the old liners. The tremendous
defeat of the wings in the I'd district, last May,
when Mr. Rantoul was elected to Congress over
both wings and democratic boilers. Is beginning to
tell in Essex county, and exerts influence highly
favorable to the coalition in that important section
The movement in Norfolk, adverse to the CO.
alition, can be productive of no very important
effect in other counties, though for a day or two
it encouraged the old liners in other quarters. In
Middlesex, it warmed up Mr.. Par nenter into ac-
tive life, and he forthwith sailed out to see whs,
could be done in the way of taxing up thir
ticket in Middlesex county. He was not very sue
cessfu for the democrats do not like the ticket made
by the coalitionists, and at the same time do not
like the wings. In another week shall be able to
tell you, perhaps, something definite as to the
Efforts Of Mr.. Parmenter labors. He used to vote
on the abolition side when be was a member ofCon-
gress and the some hour rule" receiving abolition
petitions &c.. were the source of as much ''noise and
confusion as now come from the Wiluot pr0viso,
any other topic connected with the slavery ques-
ton. The dangerous position of the Union has
probably been the means OF bringing him to a
knowledge of the error of his former ways-to say
nothing of the desire that he may periodically
have to afford the country the benefit Of his invalu
able services in the place of Collector of Boston.
In Hampden county, the demo ,rats are in some
thing Of q snarl, which may render the coalition
majority in that county of little service. In Ply
mouth, though both parties held conventions this
week. they to make ticket, and will meet again
next wee K, in the hope OF having better luck Ply
mouth is of the strongest coalition counties and
suppose they will SO tile matters there before the
day of election. In Bristol, a coalition has been
Termed, Lou only on senator, DuJ on county urea
surer, which shows that the movement is getting to
be decidedly popular The nominees for Senators
in Bristol, at least two Of them, are said TO be
pledged to the support Of temperance law in
Massachusetts, like that of Maine. This is not
very well advised proceeding, unless the liquor
sold in New Bedford and Fall River has beco ne
very bad. may as well say here, that the fears OF
a general break down, entertained from the pro-
posed introduction of the temperance question into
politics just now have pretty all vanished.
At a meeting of the State committee Of the tenn.
perance advocates it was resolved not to have the
matter made political issue. The design of hold
ing convention in Middlesex county has also been
abandoned, SO far as the leading temperance men
are concerned But the subject will not be without
its influence in our political contests.
The wings are at work in the western part Of the
state, making great efforts in Berkshire. The
coalition in that county has been formed with good
deal Of spirit, however, and perhaps with more of
real union than has marked its formation in any
other quarter. The democratic convention adjourned
to 60 over and hear the address which General
Wilson was making to the free soil convention.
To counterfeit General Wilson's labors, the wings
have sent Mr.. Moray into the western counties.
lie is apital electioneerer, and the wings are con-
fdent that be will prove match for any one who
can be put in the field against him.
In BarDstable county, coalition has been
formed, and the democratic convention has
solved that il will stand by the Union and the
promises, and particularly By the Fugitive Slave
law, with the tenacity said to characterize the
adhesiveness Of certain gentleman in sable habili-
ments, when he gets limb of the law into his
clutches. Considering that Barnstable gives some
seven hundred democratic, votes, this decision OF
her democracy will give great consolation to those
people who have been looking about so earnestly
for the approach OF an army OF secessionsts. The
wbigs swear that If there was the remotest chance
Of condition su seeding in Barnstable, the demo
cracts Of that M aritime region would let the Union
take Of ITSELF and hasten to aid in taking
Of the state

The District .torney (Mr. Lunt) has notified
the counsel for the defence that the trials
will be resumed and proceeded in. before Judge

Morris is that black savant in Ysnkee-land, co.

that the accused will all get of. II is supposed that

wings who are decidedly alarmed at the infrodsc-
