for Whose lnnscy her institutions are NO more
responsible than they are for the existence Of

paupers at the Worcester institution In 1912.
Ten years later they numbered 241, or, inclu-
ding those who we're discharged In oOurse of
1862, 1856. The increase commenced, being yery
decidedly pronounced, In 1847, just about the
time that foreigners began to arrive here in
large numbers. Toward the close Of the year
1851, the whole number of Irish pauper luna
tics in fever hospitals namely, at Worcester,
at South Boston, at Norwich and at Cambridge

more than four-ffths were either foreigners or
born of foreign parents. When such facts are
patent to all, resting upon the most rigidlY
correct Of documents, it is hardly fair, I think,
to assume superiority for Tennessee at our
expense. The Tennessee planter who has q
negro grown old In his service must support
him, and does not regard him as pauper. In
Massachusetts there are no permanent ties be-
tween employer and employee and wherever a.
man is so unfortunate as to become q pau
per, there he must be charge. If he
have no legal settlement, then must the
State support him. In consequence Of this in
aux of foreign paupers, our laws, during the
last two years, have been 30 changed ~ to
meet the evil to some extent, and the panpers
are compelled to work. where their strength la

productive Of good results.

The Democratic State ention--Con.
gressional .N-onina tons Grand Wing
.Meeting-Reuiual Of the Party,
The democrats of this State assembled in
convention at Madison on Monday last, and
nominated Hon. A. E. Maxwell for reelection
to Congress by a unanimous vote.
Hon. E. G. Cabell, having declined nominal
ton by the whigs, for Congress, has been placed
on the legislative ticket of that party in Leon
county. Being decidedly the strongest man Of
that party in the State, great regret is mani
tested at his declension as Congressional cam
didate. Several other leading wings in various
sections Of the State have also declined to en-
ter the contest for Congress.
One Of the largest and most enthusiastic
whig meetings ever held in Duval county came
off at the court house in this place on the 10th
inst. Gen. Benjamin Hopkins presided, and
George Stone, ESQ.,, County Clerk acted "a
Secretary. A resolution was passed calling.
for State Convention OF the whig party at Al
lgator, on the second Monday OF August next,
and recommending the nomination for Con-
gresham Of Ex-Governor Thomas Brown. Spiri-
ted and effective remarks were made by Messrs.
J. W. Bryant, +. g. Barrett, G Drew and George
W. Call, which seemed to revive the old wing
spirit and make it appear that the party is not
dead. but possessed Of more vitality than
ever.
Ex-Governor Brown has also been recommen--
ded by the wings Of Leon and Gadsdcn coun-
ties, as their choice for the Congressional nomi-
nation. He will. without doubt, be the nom-
nee Of the party; aud, being hard to beat on the
stump, will undoubtedly give Mr.. Maxwell a.
much closer run than he or his friends imagine.
wonld not be surprised if he should be tri--
umphantly elected. ST.. JoHNs.
