We publish in this mornings paper, report
of the first days proceedings Of the Massachusetts,
Democratic State Convention. 1t will be observed
that George 5. Boutwell,, the present coalition
Governor has been re-nominated after a very ex-
citing session.
Governor Hunt has offered reward Of five hun
dred dollars for the arrest Of the persons who
guilty of the i'll treatment of Mr. Shaw, in the
anti-rent district an account Of which have pub
iishea in our columns IL would seem that the
anti-renters are oning reckless as ever. We
do not think that this will be of any effect, for it is
not probable that any of the disguised gang who
ualtreated Mr.. Shaw will inform for the sake of
the reward thus offered. The only remedy that we
can see fer enforcing the laws, is for the sheriff.
svery occasion when he has papers to serve, to
summon the posse contatns TO assist him If, with
such a force, he should be obstructed in the dis
charge of his duties, it would be proper to declare
the county in which the outrage was committed in
. state Of insurrection, as was done q few years
since In all probability it will be necessary to
resort to this before the winter, as the
Anti-renters, by impunity, are daily becoming
reckless and defiant Of the law and its off,
GERS. 1t is disgrace to the State that these
disturbers OF the public peace have not been effect
ually put down before this. In recommending
their system Of outrage they doubt looking for
bids for their votes in the election which will take
place in November next, so to make political
capital for themselves, and secure immunity for
their crimes, they did on a former occasion
There has, however, been a change in public opin-
ion concerning this ant-rent business within
pie of years, and if the anti calculate that
they violate the law without suffering the
sequences to the fullest extent, they deceive them
selves The antirent question is now well under
stood. There is now no sympathy for those who
want to compel the first and legal owners Of land to
give up their property to those to whom it
leased There is TOO much socialism in this for the
present generation.

The WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-The late rains
have extended over Q very large surface Of the
Union. In numerous instances they have been 40
companied with destructive winds, hail, ghtnng,
and foods, and attended with many accidents,
disasters and loss of life and property Indeed, We
have no doubt that within the last three weeks
there have been more storms and tempssts, extend
ing over larger range Of country, east and west,
north and south, and resulting in greater loss of
life and property, than have occurred from the
causes, within the same limits of time for period
Of twenty years But local cAlamities and losses
have been amply couDterbalanced in the general
good. The autumnal crops have been restored
from the effects Of a long drought, and the pros
pect is fair for an extraordinary yield. Even the
dropping cotton fields have been resuscitsted to q
great extent, and we may count upon An aggregate
far above average crop. If, from this time out,
the season should continue favorable, from the
breadth Of land planted, the crop may ye. reach
well up TO three millions Of bales.

PLEASURES AT TIE FASHIONABLE SPRrSGs.-The
brilliant season at the Springs, in various parts of
our Northern region, is now at its height, and We
hear Of festivities in progress at several points
Already at Saratoga have the temporary denirens of
that fashionable place had picnic a, the Lake,
and picnic concert at the United States Hotel
and balls are talked Of to wind up the season,
already gay with music, mirth and dancing. At
Lebanon Springs the fashionable vsiters are alive,
alio, to all that Is refined and elegant in the poetry
Of life; and, we perceive that Parodi will give
concert there, on saturday evening next, at the
invitation Of these who are now sojourning in that
most agreeable Of all retreats. The Western part
Of Massachusetts, is delightful aud romantic re-
gon Of New England. Pttsield is a lovely spot,
and seven miles beyond that, are the famous springs
Of Lebanon, which have thrown all the eace cele-
brated cedars Of the renowned locality Of Palestine
into the shade. Buried in the das, Of the city aad
