made impression the convention both for
and against ana the anti borers In favor Of nom
mating Mr. Upton for Governor; but they too were oo
late" latensss, as well as slowness great whg fault
in these days.
There win be tunnel convention held at Ftchburo a.
the 18th October at which great speeches are TO be made
by divers great men, The question Of oaninp the Stats
credit in aid Of the tunnel is about to have prodgious
effect the election obcrating old party lines In quits
large number of towns and causing parties spring
into existence At present seems TO work in u
the coalition the rush being against the wings this ~
all other points They may be on the eve Of victory,
for great authority that when things ct
the worst they sometimes mend.
Several gentlemen who were placed on committees by
the late bunker convention here have declined the honors
conferred upon them Whatever they may think Of the
coalition, they have intention of countcnancing .
movement obviously directed while pretending to attack
the coalition, against the national administration. Among
them are Mr. owley and Mr. Thaxter who rank with our
first merchants, and who the democratic candidates
for Congress in the two Boston districts year ago. Mr..
Rogers Postmaster of Charlestown; and Mr. Allen editor
OF the Psfeld Sun of the very few democratic pa
pers in Massachusetts, that have aided the coalition
The attacks the administration by Mr. Barstow and
the relish with which they we're received BY the leaders Of
the convention, have rather startled the of the
hunkers who have desire to be converted into wings
because dozen gentlemen so have acd to got Offices.
blr Barsow the chief man in all this rather dangerous
sport Is young gentleman of Salem with abundance
OF time and money at his disposal and disposition 10
make himself generally useful in the destructive line OF
business One of his Salem acquaintances describes Kim
TO with more force than elegance being puckey
little devil VINO one way or another to have his
own way" lie IL one OF those fortunate young men,
common in age, who have had unces provided for
them Providence The late Andrew Dunlap was the un-
Gle appointed by heaven to provide for Mr. Barstow Mr.
Dunlap, twenty years SINCE was the first demscrat in
Massachusetts, lie had the sagacty TO that General
jackson the winning horse, at time when our old
democratic party had pretty much all gone the
Adams family and when the General into power he
did forget the few who had supported him in Massa-
chusets, and Mr.. Dunlap was made District Attorney,
then Office of much profit than it now Is. Had
lie lived he would have cut figure; but he died young
Mr. Bsrstow is understood to think that his position In
the democratic party not such should belong to ths
nephew of his uncle" Report says that he went to
Washington last spring and that President Pierce did not
appreciate him. and General Cushing did, results of
trary character but which anluckily conyerged the
focus He is understood to have desired military
appointment under Gov Boutwell, which indicates any
thing but mercenary disposition, sach appointments
being VIGOROUSLY costly affairs They tell good story Of
him, to the effect that he applied to Gov BOUTWELL, for
certificate that he had asked Office of him. The
Governor who takes everything phiosopically declined
to make the necessary atda,it the ground that he
should have his hands full of extra business il he went
into that In his last Mr.. Barstow made
mistake by coupling his attack the coalition with one
the administration, whereby he has compelled men
who did not for the former to aid indirectly II they
would not be regarded foes TO the President and his ad
visers. Such result does not indicate very large
amount of political tact on the part of the man who
brought ii about.
Mr. Iowey has positively declined being the democratic
candidate for Lieut. Governor and declares that il elected
to the Office he would not accept it, The matter is in the
hands of the State Committee who to act on the
ques! of accepting his declnation at their meet
ing The withdrawal of his from the ticket would
be construed by the hunkers into approval Of their
conduct but without truth he goes for the Worcester
Convention proceedings.
The Supreme Court will have the liquor question 70
decide upon next month, III Middlesex county. The
quicker the unconsuonality Of the law shall be settled
the better as the joke of playing at enforcing the Law
getting to be the most costly one Of the day.
