that the whole ticket would be defeated in New
York city by ten thousand"
The great Wing State Convention in Massa-
clusctts.
Nothing strs the blood like generous enthu-
siasm in the right direction. 1t creates kin
ired excitement, and leads to the happiest re-
suits. We are glad, right glad, therefore, to
say that the temper of"OLp MASSACHUSETTS"
is fairly up. She was out in her strength aud
beauty" at her State Convention on the 10th |
instant About TWELVE HUNDRED of
her delegated Wings were assembled IN coun-
Gil at Springfield, on that day, and we rejoice in
being able to say that their action, as we be-
licved it would be, was harmonious and united. |
With such men TO bear the me-honored ban
ncr Of the Wing Party i'll Massachusetts as
ROBERT c. WINTHROP and GEORGE
iRENNELL, there can be no excuse for de-
feat These gentlemen emboly New England
Wing sentiment and principle as truly and fairly
rs any two men who could have been selected
within her borders. WINrHRoP and On NELL.
Could any New England man, who loves his
Country, who stands by the Constitution (ts
guarantees and its compromlses,) who loves the
UNION that is the foundation of our Nationll
strength and prosperity. and who is disposed to
TASK for nothing that is wrong" select better
nlmes or better men, to represent and lnalntan
MS political prnci pics thln WINTHROP and
GREHNELL; " e say, emphaticllly, no. ! Istori
cal}y, as well as by high and acknowledged
public services WINTHROP ank GRENNELL are
trustworthy acknowledgements Of any, and all,
portions Of the Wings of New England. They
are true to Wig principles and Wing sentl-
'nent, and competent to illustrate, defend and
advocate both. We very cordially congratu-
late, not New England only but the County,
on the nomination of such men by such Con-
vention. The Boston .1Lus says:--
ave have attended many conventions in this
State, and in other States, but the gathering
yesterday caps all of them. The delegate
convention was by far the largest ever assem-
| bel in this State, rs it was the most hlrnon-
Gus and united. The number of delegates, to
say nothing of the volunteers anil outsiders,
was nearly if not quite twelve hundred.
No hail in the place was large enough to
contain them, and consequently there were
many present who could not penetrate the
tense mass that filled the large hal-boly
nslcs and cutlery.
The nominations are the very best that could
have been male. The names Of WiNrmRop
and GHrSNELL are names to coniure with
With them the Wings of Massnch sets will
achieve enc of the most splendid victories they
have ever won. Entertaining as we do the
highest respect for the gentlemen who were the
unsuccessful candidates, we can truly saw that
while we most heartily rejoice in the nomna-
ton of Mr.. NISrnRoP and Mr.. GRlN>ELL.
they being our first cholce--wc could have
given to Mr.. VALLEY and Mr. LAwRENcE. and
to the others who were voted for, warm and
hearty support, had they been the nominated
candidates. We know them well, and we
know them to be gentlemen of the highest res
pGctability, good Wings, and true patriots and
we hazard nothing when we say that they will
most cordially support the ticket nominated
yesterday at Springfield"
This is the true spirit of pltriotsm-honest
diversity Of preference, cordial unanimity Of
effort, where PRINCIPLES, not MEN, are the OBJ
ject Of honorable pursuit. All honor to MAssA,
cnUsETTs! We have never filtered in ou
reverence for the avowed principles of hel
~ hlgs, though we (ot Vermont have more thar
once swerv d from her example! If she dc
not, in this emergency, (when sound principle
r and Just public sentiment have been wickedly
sacrificed to secure paltry political succcss)
vindicnie her name and her character BY tn,
election of INTHRoP and GRENNELL, we shal
be mortified ana alarmed. No good ever hap
pened to this country by the political success
of LocotocoSm or FreesoIlism, or of both o
them combined ,---nothing but heartburning
cOntcnson, disunlon. We hope the PEOPLE O
Massachusetts, will remember this, and 90 7,
