OF parues In tne convention. In the mrs, place,
Mr.. Crocker received certainly, not less than fifty
illegal votes, and he is, pers 1naly, one Of the
best fellows in the world, and, for that reason,
was made a candidate, he was voted for by many
coalitionists Mr. Banks, too, was known to have
voted for Mr.. Palfrey for Congress, when the de-
mocrats had as good a candidate ofther own in the
field and this had disguted not few Of the coali-
tionists, who have no idea Of having anything to
do with the free soiers IN the election OF men 70
national Offices. OF the whole convention, think
it is exaggeration TO say tha, nine tenths were
in favor of continuing the coalition, so far as State
affairs are concerned.
1t was feared, by some democrats, that the free
soilers would take offence at the resolutions which
the convention passed; but no indications OF the
kind, of any marked Importance, have yet made
themselves visible. The only free soler Of note
who has objected to the resolutions, thus tar, IS
Mr.. Keyes, member of the Senate, from Norfolk
county, who says that the coalition cant go on;
but all the other free soil leaders laugh at what he
says. Mr. Palfray is IN favor OF the coali-
tion going on, so is General Wilson, and so, in
short, are all the free soil leaders with
whom | have conversed, or from whom
have heard. Indeed they must, if sensible men,
come to that conclusion, for it is now ,lear that
Mr.. Winthrop has almost acertainty OF being the
whg candidate for Governor, and nothing but the
continuance Of the coalition prevent his elec-
tion. Let that fail, and Robert G. Winthrop Will
become Governor Winthrop just as certain as the
of judgment alone can prevent that, and | don't
know which is most feared by the wings i ought
to mention that among the proofs of the advance
made By the Winthrop party, is the fact that the
Daily AdrGtiSe came out in his favor on Thursday
last The Adretiser is one of those slow, steady,
respectable" journals which re mind one Of the
antediluvian press, and which are never before
public sentiment, bu. generally about one thousand
years be hind it. 1t is kno Sn as par ercehce, the
- respectable day"-the word "respectable'
meaning, in Boston, anything uncommonly stupid
and dgniied. You may ask Of what import
ance can be the opinions of such jour-
nal on any subject! | will answer by telling
an necdote of C1arles James Fox. Fox one day
met friend, who asked his opinion of the chances
of a certain measure succeeding. - must wait until
/ hear what Lord Blank thinks of it, said the
statesman, "before | know what to say of its
chances" "Lord Blankr' exclaimed the friend,
"why, he is one of the dullest of all mortals and
quite incapable Of telling you anything You G
nit, but he is the representative of large class of
men, who slow but sure and as he goes they
will CO." The advertiser is the representative and
organ of large class Of our slowest and dullest of
wings, who have come to the conclusion that Mr..
Winthrop is the safest man for the present crisis,
and so they going for him-and they are quite
able 20 turn the sale in much more unequal con.
test than that which is now distracting the whig
party of Massachusetts,.
The two or three days that have passed since
the convention was held, have been turned to good
account by the democrats, who wish to press things
quiet, and to prevent the wings from returning to
Office. much better feeling prevails between the
two branches of the party, wno are fast agreeing to
forget their little differences of sentiment, and
ming to the conclusion that it would be wiser to
expend their powder and ball on the wings The
latter proportonately cres.fallen The prospect
of fight in the Worcester convention was 50 very
encouraging, even up to so late moment as
Wednesday afternoon that the wings considered it
the same as a certainty That quarrel not taking
place, their disappointment was great, and has
taken away their spirits to an amazing extent. In
one respect, however, the renewal of harmonious re-
lations among the democracy will work well to the
wings it will silly decrease the chances OF their
quaTrening. Had the coalition been condemned
by the democratic convention, or had that body
broken up without uniting the two sections Of the
party then would the success Of the party have been
made certain Such Ger ;anty of success would have
made the contest for the gubernatoral nomination
so fierce that fight could not have been prevented,
and the effect might have been disastrous, even In
the face Of the divided coalition party. As it is,
there will be nothing for the wings to quarrel about,
and so they will not quarrel very savagely: Taere
will be, in their convention, the annual display OF
humbug on the subject Of slavery, but there will
scarcely: should think, be downright; trough and
tumble" fight.
A great al Of i'll feeling was manifested to-
wards Governor Boutwell,, at the convention, but
rather in private conversation among the deleg ates
than in the convention itself. The hunkers dislike
him for having aided so strenuousy in the election
of ME- Sumner, and consider his endorsement ofthe
Fugitive Slave law, in his inaugural message, as
mere piece Of deceit. The coalitionists are dis
ggstsd with wi What they call biz his eowardice and
eating q total lack Of sympathy with any party,
and as showing coldne,s of heart very discredita-
BILE to young man who has been 50 we'll used by
his party, and By the public sensrailyGf'Ise;tins
world shows much faver. In all the troubles that
the party has had, his Excellency has neither
lisped a word nor lifted finger towards doing any
thing in the work Of reconciliation. Provided he
came out all right, he seems not to have cared q
straw whether hunkers or coalitonists were at the
top Of the heap. Yet it has been in his power to
do much to reconcile his party, and to strengthen it
for the war. BY keeping in the office Of Attorney
General ne Of the stifest wings in the country,
solely because he is afraid Of him, ard fears that he
may be the whig candidate for Governor, he has
offended many of his old friends. The only thing
that he did toward promoting harmony, in the con-
venion, to send Of his aids to Worcester for
the purpose Of preventing Mr.. Banks election to
the Office Of president, the sagacity Of which pro-
ceeding may be inferred frem the fact that there
was not another man present who could have pre-
sided half 70 well az did the one who was elected
Even those Who opposed bis election the most vehe-
meLtly, now declare that to bis conduct the harmo
nious result Of the conventions labors is mainly
