For the Spy.


Mr.. EDIroR:--Beng at the commencement OF
politicaI, campaign which bids lair to be carried
onw ill an Unusual degree &c zeal and activity by
all parties, it appears TO proper Free Soil
ers should express to one another their views with
regard to the manner Of its prosecution. L is with
this design that / send you this commgucation,
hoping that the views contained in it WIT be such
as will receive the sanction of your judgment,
In forming plan Of operations, we should first
consider those Of our opponents, that ours may be
such as will most successfully and honorably initiate
against theirs And, sir, appears tome that, in the
approaching election, the Wing party is the one
from which we, in Massachusetts, and particularly
in Worcester county, to apprehend the most
danger. The Democratic party is not in position
to draw off many Of our voters. Mr. Ranoul, and
his friends, sympathize deeply with us in relation to
the Fugitive Slave Law; and, while we appreciate
the reasons which have induced that distinguished
Statesman to maintain his old party connection, we
cannot but believe that many OF his friends, disgust
ed by the contemplate meanness Of the petty clique
which trIumphed over him in the National Conven.
ton, will see that their best course is cast their
votes " it'll us in the Presidential election.
But the Whigs-toleraby sure Of plurality on
the electoral ticket, in which we hope and pray they
may be disappointed stimulated by savage hatred
towards the men who have oused them from unde
served power, and hungry for the spells Of Office,
are aboring with mainly Interior view to success
in the State election. Such result would produce
a return to the narrow policy of Whiggery, and
worse, if possible even than that--it would brand
our State with eternal infamy, in sending back to
the U. S. Senate that mighty Arnold among States
men, au,el Webster.
Over Worcester county particularly, this Simeon
of Whggery is to be blown. 1t behooves us, then,
10 consider particularly what is their chosen course
of policy here. Principles they have to dis
cuss. What itle talking they do, must, then, con-
sst in rantpg against those who have something to
talk about. and in singing the changes the glories
of Chippewa, Cherubusco, SC.
But something must be done to produce the neces-
sary excitement. What shall it be! Their wise
heads have abored over this problem, and have at
last produced plan which is poor compliment to
that pornn OF our citizens whom they hope to al.
| feet. This plan is already indicated The burning
OF gunpuw der in every conceivable manner, and FREE
quent railroad excursions to and from the neighbor-
! ing towns, TO be the means by which this SELF
considered refined and polished party is to regain
its ancient supremacy. The Winthrop Club is to
be the tool used carry out this plan tits to at
tract to its lank~ those weak young men who love
wine better than humanity, and who esteem men
rather by the clothes they wear, than the principles
they profess. This hand of choice spirits to make
its descent upon the various towns and cities of the
State. Ofthe nature Of the entertainment. furnished
on these occasions, those who have seen the cars
after their return, looking if they had been used
for the transportation of cattle rather than men, or
have been awaked by their drunken outcries long
alter the hour Of midnight, can judge. That tenn
