Mliae Ldto and the WhlgS. MiSc6lfaSieS
THE has been very dull week ia our political
world, The most remarkable occurrence being
great democratic meeting in Faneail Hall, which
was iaumed full, on Tuesday evening 10 hear
Senator Soue and Col Seymour. Of South Caro-
lina aud capital speeches were IN ido by these gem
alemen The Louisiana Senator is a man Of genius
and is much admired here He and Col. Seymo ur
bayc placed our democrats under great obligations.
Mr. Soulc addressed the Charesto wn democrats on
Monday evening, and with great effect.
The Boston Post opposes the regular democratic
candidate for Congress in No. 6, Mr. Wood, because
he once said something about the Fugitive Slave
law very like that which General Pierce is reported
to have said ut New Boston. The fact would hardly
be worth mentioning were it not that ID is likely to
lead to O curious effect our electoral ticket,
which the editor Of the Post heads 1t is the in-
tention Of the democrats TO strike his from the
electoral ticket, and substitute for it that Of
some other person. In this way he will proba-
bly, run some twenty or thirty thousand votes
behind General Whitney, the other electoral
large, unless Col Greene's friends should, in re-
venge, strike his colleagues name from the ticket.
The matter may, unless it should in some manner
be smoothed over, lead to Irregular row" as
many democrats very indignant that the editor
Of the Post should undertake to decide how the par
ty shall act in the various counties and districts
They hold that his conduct amounts to virtual
censorship the doings Of the party Cooler ooun-
ellis may prevail, and tho affair DO Compounded"
one way or another The various branches Of the
opponents of the wings are continuing, with sort
Of laborious ingenuity to throw away all the great
advantages that have been awarded to them through
the Webster movement. Never, even here, was
stupidity more glaringly displayed.
The wings Of the Eighth district have nominated
Mr.. Wentworth for Congress. he is the chief Of his
party in Lowell, and was nominated with much
unanimity, his competitor Mr. Bartlett, having
thus far nominated by his party, their candidates
being uncommonly weak. To fill the vacancy
caused BY the death Of Mr.. Rantoul, the wings have
nominated Mr.. Fay, Of Chelsea, gentleman
porter Of General Scott. The Webster men
growl at such conduct. To succeed Mr.. Thompson,
IN the old Fourth district, some wings propose to
Mr. Sabine, the t same gentlemen xhS ha.
about the fisheries, and who has written history
Of the American Loyalists In the Second district,
Solomon Lincoln, formerly, United States Marshal
OF this district has received the wing nomination.
In the Third, Mr. Edmonds has been put up by
the Same party. do not know him, and have not
yet been able to find any body who does. It is said
that some wings wanted to make Mr.. Borden, of
Ill ItlVer, SUCCESSOR 70 fOWler, In Inc nope OF
catching free sellers, IS Mr.. Borden was one of
those wing members Of our Legislature who voted
for Charles Sumner as United States Senator. His
vote, in fact, elected Mr.. Sumner The wings are
turning fast back to the abolition side preparatory
to the announcement of General Scott's defeat.
But q Mr.. Lord got the nomination.
The democratic hunkers are not making mu,h
beadway out of Mr. Woods district. Their con-
very slim affairs, The idea that General Pierce is
not disposed to make much of them, but leaves the
democrats of every State to manage their own
affairs in their own way, has evidently graveled
them.
The opponents of the Maine law are drawing out
the can lidates for Governor on that subject Mr..
Bishop is understood to have written letter ex-
pressing himself adverse to the law. Mr.. Mason is
about to write of his pungent epistles, taking
ultra grourd in opposition to repeal Of the law.
Mr.. Clifford, like another gentleman Of the same
name (see the Immediately, will nos "speak."
The wings ore playing q nice game on this point.
Nr. Clifford is opposed to the law, while Mr.. Hun
tington OF most strenuous supporters 1t is
said that some of the principal temperance have
been assured that 10 the Of the of the
wings, Mr. Clifford will be chosen United States
Senator, to take the place of John Davis. whose
term expires next March This arrangement would
take Mr. Clifford out of the executive chair, and
leave it to be filled by an out and out Maine Law
man, morally pledged to veto bill repsaling or
wings expect 70 secure both sorts Of men in their
party--the opponents of the law as well as its
friends-Nr Cliford's business bsing to bag the
one sort, and MIR. Huntington the other. Il is
shrewd game, unless it should be found out, when
it will be called silly
The season that is just closing has been an un-
commonly productive one to the farmers Of this
state The quantity Of fruit that has been raised
very best qualities, do not pay the trouble OF TAX
ing to any market that is not hard by the orchards
whence gathered. There is also vast quantity
that, in other years, would have been worked up
Dir hat Ma Law hal (aau
in effect mean) be subjected to the peine frte ct
durc of the press. In parts Of the State this
will make enemies to the law, as the farmers are
conservative in their notions, and do net like to be
interfered with. Our potato crop has been large,
and it forms great item in the list of agricul
tural productions. The other common kinds of
vegetables are also abundant and cheap, while, ct
the same time, labor is in demand, with q steady
tendency to the increase of wages, that the pros
pect for the poorer classes Is very favorable. The
comparative failure Of the hay crop has made itself
felt IN the article Of butter, of which it is difficult
obtain good at any price, fact that would please
the ghost Of Mr. Graham, suppose it could come on
earth. as that gentleman was used to say that but
ter was good for nothing except to grease cart
wheels. doubt whether the pnblc condition has
been better for many years., If ever, than now,
throughout New England; and at our approaching
Thanksgiving we shall be able to be devout with

1t may be taken evidence of the good condL
tion of the community, that the friends of the ten
their principles incorporated into the Legislature Of
the Statc tor such movements are never undertaken
at periods Of datress-they denote the existence of
no ordinary degree Of prosperity. convention Of
ten hours men was held here on Wednesday last
and resolved upon putting the matter into the
political field, which it will tend to complicate.
Their inten ton Is to act something after the fash
ion proposed by the opponents Of the Maine Law
that is, 70 question the candidates Of the various
parties, and to support such Of them as shall bs
found most favorable to the desired reform. In
Boston, where the vorkngmen are at once numor-
Gus, intelligent and at this particular time in great
dennnd, their appearance ia the political field, as
distinct organization, or with the intention Of SO.
lecting their legislative candidates from the throe
or four tickets that shall be nominated would make
our wings look grave indeed.
