KNOW NOTHING STATE CONVENTION.
BosroN, October 3, 1855,

BOsTON, October 3, 1855.
The Know Nothing State Convention met at
the fremont Temple this forenoon. 1t is a
large and enthusiastic gathering from all Sec
tons of the State. The Hon. E. G. Baker, of
Medford, is President.
The following was the result of the ballot for
Governor Whole number of votes cast, $40 /;
of which Henry J. Gardner received 8l2; the
remaining eight being scattered. The announce
ment of the vote was received with great ap-
plause.
The Convention nominated By a nearly
unanimous vote the Hon. Henry W. Benchley,
the President of the last State Senate, for Lieu
tenant Governor; Francis Witt, of Ware, for
Secretary of State; Fl. Fernald, of Newburyport,
for Treasurer; Joseph Dawiey, Of Fall River,
for Auditor and A. 81. Nelson, of Woburn, for
Attorney General.
The platform adopted at Springfield was
reafirmed as the platform of the party.
A committee who had been sent for Gov
ernor Gardner returned in his company, and
he addressed the Convention at some length,
accepting the nomination, defining his position,
and defending himself from the attacks which
had been made upon MIN.
Mr.. Gardner was received with tumuituous
and long continued applause.
Mr.. Benchley accepted the nomination for
Lieutenant Governor in brief speech, and the
Convention soon after dissolved.

Declaration, Platform, and Constitution,
REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Whereas, by the repeal of the eighth section
of the act for the admission of Missouri into
the Union, the Territories of Kansas and Ne
braska have been opened to the introduction of
Slavery, and all the compromises, real or i'm
aginary, upon that subject are thus violated
and annulled, and deep dishonor inflicted upon
the age in which we live:
Now, therefore, in cooperation with all those
throughout the land who oppose this and other
similar measures, which we deem to be con-
trary to the spirit Of the Constitutions, and
which arc designed to extend and perpetuate
Slavery, we do associate ourselves together
under the name and title of
The Republican Association of Washington, D. C..
And we adopt the following rs orr political
Platform, to wit:
FIRST. That Congress possesses no power
over the institution of Slavery in the several
States; but that, outside of State jurisdiction,
the constitutional power of the Federal Gov
eminent should be exerted to secure LIFE. LIB
ERTY, and HAPPINESS, to all men and there
fore,
SECOND. There should be neither Slavery
nor involuntary servitudc, except for the pun
ishment OF crime, in any of the Territories OF
the United States
THIRD. The People are the rightful source
Of all political power; and all officers should
as far as practicable, be chosen by q direct vote
of the People.
FOURTH. Candidates for political Office!
should be men of undoubted integrity and SO
briefly, and pledged to support the principles o
this Platform by all lawful and constitutional
means

MASSACHUSETTS WING CONVENTION.
WORCESTER, Oct. 2, 1856

NOhOEclEh, w. Z, lCOO.
The Wing State Convention assembled here
to-day. About $50 delegates were present,
principally from the eastern part Of the State,
speech against fusion. Letters were read from
Hon. r. c. Winthrop, Hon. Rufus Choate and
others, in opposition to fusion.
The resolutions declare thst the Wing party
should now, more than ever, keep itself aloof
from entangling alliances; that they are now,
as ever, the party of the Constitution that the
pending election is a State matter; repudiate
the Personal Liberty BILL and advocate its era
sure before collision ensues that the present
Liquor Law is a failure and that we go for a
law which is constitutional, and will promote
the cause of Temperance; that the organiza-
ton of a Northern National party on the sin
gle Issue of opposition to Slavery would endan-
ger the existence of the Union, and the defeat
of it would paralyze the Northern sentiment
that if union of parties should ever become
necessary, it must be union of national pa
triots of all parties of the Union, to resist the
aggressions of fanatcism.
The Hon. Samuel H. VALLEY, of Roxbury,
late Wing member of Congress, was nominated
for Governor, unanimously, and, being present,
accepted the nomination in brief speech.
Moses Davenport, of Newburyport, who de-
ciined the Liberal party nomination, was NOM
mated for Lieutenant Governor; W. T. Davis,
of Greenfield, was nominated for Secretary of
State Reuben A. Chapman, of Springfield, for
Attorney General; John Sargent, of Cambridge,
for State Treasurer; and Joseph Mitchell, of
New Bedford, for Auditor.
Mr.. Choate, in his letter, said that the party
of Fusion is, in the worst sense, geographical
party, and that the Wings will not join any par
ty that does not carry the flag and keep step
to the music of the Union.
The Hon. George S. billiard, of Boston,
made lengthy speech, in which he styled the
Fusion" the rag-baby party He also allu-
ded to the speech of Sanator Wade, of Ohio,
during the late Maine canvass, and said that
its disunion sentiments were calculated to wake
Washington in his grave. AS to the Personal
Liberty bill, others might call it notification,
but he called it treason.
After speeches iron, Professor Fowler, of
Amherst, and others, the Convention, with loud
cheers for the candidates nominated, dissolved.

-thenian beauty, could scarcely have rivalled
4 appearance this modern palace of glass and

Athenian beauty, could scarcely have rivalled
in appearance this modern palace of glass and
iron.
There was to be neither wine nor revelry; so
ladies were permitted to be present, and the
banquet was highly indicative of the character
of the guests. Those who live by their wits must
not dull them by surfeiting, yet, though genius
is said to make publishers rich while authors
live in garrets, for once the dusty sanctums have
poured forth their votaries, and by magic
wand, such as only New York publishers could
WELD, are permitted to sit at feast fit for a
king. There are many around whose brows
fame has wreathed its brightest laurels, who
have not where to lay their heads" and there
are many whom fortune has showered gold
as well as honors. There are gray -haired men
and beardless youths, but one would not think
there need be so much fear and trembling lest
literature should become the sphere of acon,an,
and men be echpsed, or rather outshone, by the
blaze of female genius, in looking around upon
this great concourse. There are seven hundred
authors, authoresses, and publishers, and yet
there are only fifty women-scarcely enough to
save the city-surely, not enough to endanger
the family relationship, or threaten the extinc-
ton OF the world. They are not all here, neither
are the gentlemen of the press all here; and we
presume the proportion of women of genius to
men of genius is about the same, the world over.
as 1t is tonight III this Palace, and will remain
so to the end of time. We had always heard
that authoresses were clean and lank and ugly;"
and this was perhaps owing to the "hard times :"
they had in the days of yore; but their pros
poets must have frightened, for these are en-
phaticaly at fault in em6onpont, if there is fault
about them and We do not see but they are as
well dressed and as disposed to 'look laughing
ly out upon the world" as the ladies we ordina-
rily meet in fashionable assemblies Very well
we know that some of them have been driven
into publicity which they never sought, and
have obtained a notoriety which they abhor, and
are as truly martyrs as Stephen of old, while the
world is pronouncing them destitute of woman
ly feeling, and branding them as aspirants for
honors which belong only to men. May they
fulfil the hope of usefulness in life, and wait pa
tiently for the reward in Heaven.
:" 1t is good to be together" We doubt not
this will be the feeling of all who have been
present at this festal gathering, and the result
will be as important in the promotion of kind
ly feeling and mutual interest, as it has been
new and pleasant to all who participated in a
fete so unique and original.
