THE WGFE-It is not untrcqucnt that a
wife has to mourn over the aienated aOec-
tions of her husband, because she has made
no effort herscfto strengthen and increase
his attachment. She thinks because he once
loved her he ought always to love her; and
she neglects those attentions which engaged
his heart. Many wife is thus the cause, of
her own neglect and sorrow. The woman
deserves not husbands love who will not
greet him with smiles when he returns home

The Massachusetts, Democracy.

The democrats of Massachusetts held their
State convention at Lowell on Tuesday. We
learn from the Post that there were over five
hundred delegates in attendance, that the pro-
ceedings were most harmonious, and that the
results were honorable and gratifying "The
principles of the Nebraska bill-the measures
Of the Observation-Disclosures approved in bold
explicit, and truly democratic and constitu-
tional resolutions. There was no lodging of
issues, either on the part Of the convention or
its candidates but the resolves were up to
the mark of the occasion, and were passed not
merely with assent, but with an enthusiasm
rarely 10 be seen in any gathering. They
were opposed by J. NJ. Usher, but he was ell
oquently replied to by Hon. II. Cook, Of Len
OK, and by DR.. Loring, Of Salem, and when
the vote was taken there was all but unani-
nous response Of yeas-but two OF three
saying nay"
The same decided tone is seen in the candi-,
dates. Judge Bishop was renominated for
governor, and Caleb Stetson, Esq, for lieut..
governor.
a letter was received from Judge Bishop
putting himself squarely upon the Nebraska
platform.
We rejoice that the democrats Of the old
Bay State have entirely cut themselves loose
from all sectional parties and coalitions and
now stand upon the firm old democratic plat
form, which is free from intermixture with any
Of those rotten pIanks which new dispensa-
tons have end5avored to engraft upon it
They are now in the straight and narrow path
towards glory and redemption.

The Baby Convention.

The grand national convention of babies is
to assemble at the Fair Grounds of the Clark
County Agricultural Society, at Springfield,
Ohio, on Thursday, Oct. 9th. A large pa
viliOn has been procured, with lesser tents for
dressing-rooms, reception rooms, &c. No
expenditure Of money or Of labor has been
spared in the getting up of the show. One OF
the committee came east for the express pur-
pose Of purchasing the splendid plate to be
distributed as prizes, viz Three complete
silver tea sets, each consisting Of a coffee urn,
two tea-pots, sugar bowl, cup and slop
bowl Competition is open to all children,
not exceeding two years Of age, born in the
United States. The first grand sweepstakes
premium will be given to the finest baby, not
exceeding two years Of age; the second to
the finest baby over one and not over two years
OF age; the third to the finest baby not over
one year old. The distribution Of the prem

mittee, composed of an equal number of ladies
and gentlemen--a part Of whom to be unmar-
red, and therefore DISTINGUISHED We quote
from the Circular
q If our citizens take hold Of the matter in
a spirit anything like that of its orginators,
we will see one of the most beautiful and in
teresting exhibitions that has ever been wit
messed in this or any other community
Gather together the thousands of babies of
even this neighborhood, each one polished for
the occasion, smiling in the happy uncon-
seriousness Of infancy, clasping their tiny hands
in careless glee, or it may be, sir cynic. cry
ing with alright, and vet laughing through
their tears Can you imagine anything MORE
beautiful Where, short of heaven. can you
hope to see so much as in this assemblage
Every care viii be taken that no improper
language or conduct shall be permitted A
police force of one hundred has been appoint
ed, and any person rude enough to indulge in
the slightest improprieties will be Immediate
ty expelled. The object of the friends of the
convention IS TO procure the assenblage of Il
most interesting and delightful party, and ex-
hibit virtue that all can appreciate and enjoy,
The children--competitor for the prizes-are
too young to be in any way affected by sue
cess or failure; and yet in after life what
would constitute 4 more valued possession

The Issue.

The Belfast Free Press says ''the opponents
of the administration have determined to make
the principles of the Nebraska bill present
and future issue, and whatever might have
been our original intention, the course of the
opposition has rendered it necessary that the
issue they tender shall be accepted now and
on all'occasons hereafter. We now intend
soon 10 give our views upon the formation Of
governments for Kansas and Nebraska, by
which these important territories, equal to the
thirteen original states have been reclaimed
and made the asylum Of free laborers.
We ask fair hearing, and that our demo-
cratic friends who may disagree with US will
extend to the Free Press the same tolerant
spirit that we always hope to entertain for
those with whom we have the misfortune to
differ We shall be able we think to demon
strate that the territorial governments for Kan
sas and Nebraska were formed in pursuance
of a policy already established, and which will
be for ever irrevocable by our government
policy which has proved and is proving TO be
favorable to the free states, and salutary in
its operation, in every section Of the country"

The Times again repeats, for effect. the re-
peated talsehood that eff the Morrill, men
would 90 for Fessenden for the U. S. Senate,
Morrill, should be the next Governor of Maine!"
Although this assertion has no foundation, ex-
cert in the interested heads of disappointed
Office seekers, it is not one-half as malevolent
in It's character as we expect to see asserted
from various quarters Ortord Democrat.
That such bargain was made, is fact,
nevertheless. The Pilsbury democrats and
the Morrill, men in the House Of Representa-
tiyes and in the Senate had the power Of elect
ing john HUBBARD to the u. S. Senate
w hen it was found that he was the only man
likely to unite the two sections, and his friends
were pressing his claims, and the Pilsbury
men amost to man had made up their minds
to 90 for him rather than Fessenden should be
elected, what was the report from the Morrill,
representatives That although sustaining
towards Gov. III. the highest respect, the
friends of Mr.. Morrill, in the House had pledged
themselves, irreUocaJly, % 60 for VIM. Pin Fes-
se,lden, and the e3oquence of Mr. Morrill,, il
was pleaded in his defence, as friend of Gov.
H., could not move them hair We repeat.
the value promised by the friends of Fessen-
den in return for that pledge, was the election
Of Arson p. Morrill, to be Governor of Maine
And the Oxford Democrat cannot deny our as
sertion without the preparation of an abso-
lutte falsehood.

The foreigners in this country come from
all nations of Europe. BY the census Of 1850
it appears that full one-fourth Of them are
Germans, viz 573 1926 while 278, 675 were
born in England, and 147,7 in the British
American colonies. These, being about one
half of our foreign population, are nearly all
Professionals, as are also a large per cent. Of the
remainder. 1t is not known how many Of
them are Catholics, but the number must be
considerably less than million, including
men, women and children.
These few statistics are sufficient TO show
that the danger to our religious or political
institutions, either from foreign or Catholic
influences among US, is a bugbear of the
shallowest description, even if we admit that
persons Of foreign birth or of the Catholic re-
lgion are hostile to these Institutions. But
the whole history Of our country shows that
both of these classes of citizens have proved
themselves as faithful to the Constitution, and
as devoted to the interests and the institutions
of the Union as those of native birth and OF
the Protestant sects.
