Of for the United States senatorshio, as m
Eyerett's succ Eor. Mr.. We tworth's .rospeca
OF election are bot 20 good az they vert
before the wings showed SO much determine
ton to have all things their own way, like Lht
narrow and bigoted fiction that they arc.
Should not Gen. Wilson be run for Governor,
he will probably be Mr.. Wentw0rth's success
sor. Mr.. De Witt will he reelected from the
Worcester district, ann Mr. Goodrich, from the
berkshire, II nominated Mr.. Griswold, who Is
IN the last district, is Know Nothing, having
joined one OF the Boston lodges and Mr.. WIT
ney, OF conway, who has been spoken Of as the
democratic candidate, made false step on the
Nebraska resolves OF the last Legislature, which
broke his political neck. In most Of the other
districts, the present members are OF such utter
obecurfty, so entirely OF no account, that, as
yet, It is hardly possible to cay what their fate
is to be. Mr. Valley Is IN exception TO the
remark, and but little is said O. his prospects.
The Know Nothings are numerous IL his dis
trict
A gentleman, who ought to know all about
the matter, assures me that Mr.. ii. j. Gardner
is Know Nothing irabsolut- good faith, aud
that he has as little sympathy with fogie whig-
gism as any man in Massachusetts,. am glai
of it, for he has talents, character, energy, aud
experience, and could not be better employed
than in aiding to tear dowp the remnants Of the
s,rongholds of political funkeytm
Mr.. Morton Is said to I've better, and there IL
story that his ply stefan says he will recover
am sorry to be compelled to say that the
story cannot be true, and it is probably pure
invention.
A sort Of faint denial Of the sick corn'f
charge has been made. unofficially, ny soms
officer or other OF the State prison l. Is not
said that the corn was not purchased bn. that
for two days previous 10 the breaking out vf
the cholera In the institution no beet Of any
hind bad been served out There is no way &C
asccrtanjng the correctness of this assertion,
az NIL the responsible parties are Interested ia
preventing the exposure Of abuses, and will
stCh by one another The ravages of thc
disease, unprecedented IN the medical history
Of the country, (about one fourth Of the whe'e
number of the prisoners were more or less
afic,ed) is now attributed to the atmosphere.
A likely story, when We consider that the
disease did not extend hey ond the prison; or,
If true, what nasty, font place the prison must
be. They must have, il not sick beef,n bad
air, which is too bad, seeing that good air is
just as cheap as bad.
There is to be fair at Marsh6ela next
Wednesday, August % for The purpose OF
putting in order the old village cemetery,
where lies buried the first white man born liz
New England, Peregrne White, and some of
the Pilgrims, and where repose the ashes OF
Daniel Webster. Arrangements arc to be made
to accommodate large number Of people, and
il is supposed that the Webster estate aud
mansion house will be open t. visiters. Those
OF your city people who ,hink Of coming tAia
way the present season could not do better
than to visit Marshfield ON tue Esd. ALSowA.
