Under ordinary circumstances, IL would be absurd
to pronounce upon the manner in which the action
Of the late Democratic Convention has been re-
cevcd, so soon after that action; but the circum-
stances are not ordinary. A week now is equal to
what a month would have been ten years ago. /
think, therefore, that am warranted in saying
that. throughout New England, the nominations OF
Pierce ana King have been received by the democ-
ncy with degree Of unanimity, and downright
gladness-which is something very different from
simple aoquiescencs-that is without precedent ia
our political history. The nominees will receive
ths unbroken support of their whole party and they
have fair prospect of making acquisitions from the
floating vote. 1t is true that the unequivocal en-
dorsement of the compromises is offensive to many
democrats, who, however, take substantially the
same view of that endorsement that see has been
put forth by the Erening Post Of your city. They
consider it as mere matter of form, as greatly re-
sembiDg all similar resolutions, and particularly
that laundering resolution which the Democratic
Convention Of 1874 adopted. providing for the occu-
patton Of all Oregon up to the place where they
manufacture the aurora boreafis. without the mid
OF protection. Beside, our democrats are cool
headed, sagacious men, and do not see what
good would follow from action that would benefit
only the wings. They are "gong in to win Their
only weak point in New England is Maine and that
is weak only from local causes, and probably would
be made strong enough by getting rid of Gov. Hub

giving reasonable ground Of offence to his friends

nanimity which the gentleman himself possesses.

Those Webster papers which are declaring that
nothing but their favore's nomination can de-

themselves as the close of the next ten days will

Mr. Rantoul's Friends remain indignant because

this State, and against the desire of the most emf

at the convention it having been very generally as
serted that he would not CO. and that Mr. Lord would
also stay away; but he was present, and would have
spoken he had been allowed but be gagged off.
The whole proceeding was the result of personal |
hate, heightened, perhaps, by the hope Of future |
