Worcester, to deliberate upon the course Of action
best adapted to promote the views Of the party, in
reference to tho coming Presidential election. The
Of this convention are looked forward to
with deep interest by all parties, because there will
be the beginning of the end-the commencement Of
movement that is pregnant with the fate of the
two candidates for the Presidency, and will shape
the future destiny Of the whg and democratic par
ties.
This State convention is called in view of the
National Anti-slavery Convention to be held at
Pittsburg the 18th Of August, and no doubt will
have an influence, more less, upon the final result
An abolition antifagtive slave law platform, with
several strong planks Of Kossuth Intervention, in
opposition to both the whig and democratic conven-
tions and platforms, will, doubt, be constructed
anda candidate for the Presidency, and another for
the Vice Presidency, will be nominated. The most
prominent candidates before the public are John
p Hale, for President, and Cassius NJ. Clay, for
Vice President but the most prominent are not
always successful, and perhaps Benjamin F. Butler,
of this city, other, may be the nominee for
President 1t is, however, matter Of very small
importance what candidate is nominated, as it is
impossible that he be victorious in the struggle,
unless indeed, it be considered victory not to win,
but to prevent from winning, one or other Of the
two candidates representing the whig and democra-
tic parties 1t is the platform, therefore, and not
the candidate Of the antislavery facton tn ut is al
important in this crisis-the organization and ac
ton Of q third party, that will take away large
number of votes from one or other of the two par
ties who have already made their nominations, and
are so nicely balanced that such u loss would be
sure to defeat either Of them.
The leaders of the abolition party, do not the ~
selves hope to elect candidate of their own choice;
but they can elect whichever of the two great party
candidates they please. They hold in their hands
the balance of powerthe issues of life and death
and by throwing their weight into either scale, the
opposite will be kicked high in air. This would be
very important triumph to The antslavery party not
merely as indication of the strength of their
VOTE but account of its effects in reference to
the permanency Of the two parties who now divide
the great mass of the people between them, and
the nature of the issues which likely, hereafter
to constitute the ralyng ground for party contests
in the United States.
If the action of the third party should take away
more votes from the wings than from the democrats,
the result will be that the democratic party will elect
their candidate, and become the great constitutional
party of the country; while the wings will be
completely dsorganized, and reduced to the neces-
sity of merging into the anti-slavery party IT, on
the other hand the democrats should lose most votes
by the action of this third party, then the de-
mocratic party must go to the WALL be broken up,
and amalgamate with the barnbuner element, and
all the other antislavery elements; while in that
event the wings will become the constitutional
party.
Thus, in either case, the present anti-slavery par
ty has great game in its hands. 1t has only ex-
listed about ten years. The anti slavery sentiment
has been gaining ground all that time striking its
roots deeper into the EARTH and spreading It's rami
fcations more widely every day. But hitherto il
has never attained to the dignity and power Of al
| opposition party. 1t has been only third party
holding the balance of powcr-sometimes giving il
| to one side, and sometimes to another. But now
it aims at breaking up the whig and democra
tic parties, and forming new combination will
one of them, and thus becoming itself great par
| ty in the country. This game is on the cards
and if the leaders only play it skilfuly, they viii
undoubtedly win it; and after the election of 1876:
we shall no longer hear of wings and democrats, blu
| Of an abolition party and constitutional party
and the slavery question, which has so long agtaec
the country by collateral issues will be presente,
FOR tho first time to the nation, in direct FORM il
the Presidential campaign Of 1856 To this com
plexion will it come at last.
New JOURNALS, AND JouRNALIsN.-Mr. Samue
Beman, whose wife, we believe, once kept. and still

endeavors to make up opinions-not shirts-for tn
working people all about town. We know Mr. Be
man very well-he was once in our employment 70
several years, and is very ingenious, intellectual
man; but We rather think that the linen which hi
excellent wife makes into shirts, will be much NOR
