Boston, Saturday, Sept. l, 1852
The Fusion Conference at the United States
Hotel on Wednesday ended happily. After a
long discussion, lasting from IL till Z. NJ,
moderate and practical counsels prevailed in
the Chapman Hall Committee. This result is
due, am told, in large degree to the influence
OF Governor Boutwell,, who enters heartily into
the Republican movement, and renders it inval-
liable aid by the confidence felt in his personsl
character and in his political sagacity His name
alone nsures il thousands Of votes which would
probably be withheld if he stood al0Of
You have already been informed by telegraph OF
the course decided upon by the Committees in
conference Dispensing with details, the SUBJ
stance of the arrangement is that's Mass Conven-
ton and Delegate Convention are called, to meet
at Worcester on the Goth Of September, The sig
Nothings, all the leading Free-SOes, together
with many influential Wings and Democrats.
There can be no doubt now that the Conventions
will assemble under favorable auspices, for with
few exceptions cordial feeling exists among the
Fu,ionists throughout the State. There is not
likely to be any trouble until the Conventions
meet The only speck on the horizon is here in
Boston, where some Of the ofice- holdersare busiy
at work in the Know Nothing Councils making
preparation to pack the primary meetings and
secure the election of delegates favorable to the
nomination Of Gardner.
In three or four of the Councils the delegates are
already selected, who are TO be forced upon tue
primary meetings. i know their names and the
names Of those who are engaged Ia this WORK, and
regret to say that some Of them are men OF whom
better things were expected. But It Is not at all
likely that even in Boston the, primary meetings
will be thus fraudulently managed to any great ex-
tent, and out Of Boston they cannot be. The peo-
nile in the country have too much political expert
euce and skill to be cheated in that manner. They
are too well acquainted with each other, and un-
derstapd too well the management oil pubic meet
iDgs to be gulled BY cliques. Our system OF town
meetings gives the whole rural population degree
Of practical training which, in the cities, pos
sessed only BY professed politicians. As the Dele
cate Convention will consist of about 200 dele
gates drawn from $40 towns and Cities II Is
certain that the vast majority Of them will be
honestly elected and will fairly represent the opa
ions Of the Republican party
If unhsppily it should be other~ise-if the
Know. NotbiDes thTough0utthe state should iml-
tate the unworthy and unwise conduct OF some
of their Boston brethren, and pack the Convention
with delegates selected beforehand in the lodges and
forced upon the primary meetings for the purpose
Of renominatng Gardner, there will be speedy

done. There Il surely too much prudence aud good
