HARD Look FOR GARDNER.-We looked in
at the Gardner County Convention for few mo-
ments, yesterday forenoon and the aspect of
things assured us that we have not been mistak-
en- to the condition of the Gardner party in
Worcester County. Mr.. H. K. Flagg stated that
it had been reported that the American party was
dead, but he was quite certain that it was alive
He said he went down to Webster on the evening
previous, with Mr.. D. F. Parker, and found the
Council in session, but the chief was fusionist,
and they were preparing to send an anti-Gardner
delegation to that Convention; but Mr.. Parker
and himself rode round the village, and succeeded
n getting together several hundred Of the faith
fnl, by which means the designs of the fusionists
were frustrated. 1t was then moved that COM
mittee of one from each town be appointed to dis
trict the County with reference to the Senatorial
nominations. But it was found impossible to fill
the committee, for the reason that twenty-four
towns in the County were unrepresented. The
towns were Athol, Bolton, Boylston, Brookfeld
Clinton, Dudley, Hardwick Harvard, Hubbards
ton, Leicester, Lunenhurg, New Braintree, Oak
ham, Petersham, Philipston, Princeton Rutland,
Shrewsbury, Southbridge, Spencer, Upton, West
minister and Winchendon.

THE LAKE SHORE Or, the Slaue, the Seyt. and
the Apprentice By Emile Souvestre, author of
the Attic Philosopher in Paris, &c. translated
from the French: Boston, Crosby, Nichols, &
Co.. 1855.
This book consists of three tales, the heroes of
which are taken from the classes indicated by the
respective titles, and the object of the writer is,
to illustrate the states of society which have sue
ceeded each other in the progress of European
civilization. The Slave, Celtic boy of Rome,
who was captured, with six thousand of his coun.
trymen, by the Romans, and carried into bondage
passed through many suferings, and, finally, for
joining in an inaureetion, was condemned to be
devoured by wild boasts. While in prison, await
ing the punishment, he became convert to the
Christian faith, and exemplifed in his death, the
consolation and hope which that alone can give.
The second story of the Self is of subsequent
period, in the middle ages, the scene in the west
of France and illustrates the evils of the state of
serfdom, as then existing.
The Apprentice is a tale OF the last half centu.
ry, in which the subject, an apprentice of humble
origin is mude to illustrate the truth, that, in the
present state of civilization, success in life depends
talent industry and integrity rather than on any
aIventtious circumstances of birth, fortune, &c.
The narrative in each of the tales is well arranged
and the interest sustained throughout

INTIMIDATION OF VoTERs-We understand
that prominent manufacturer in the north part
OF the city has required written pledge from his
workmen that they will vote for Gardner. He
went among his workmen a day or two since with
a paper saying that he was going to vote for
Gardner himself, and wished to know how many
of his workmen intended to vote as he did The
paper was headed in this wise-' The undersigned
hereby agree to vote for Henry j Gardner at the
next election" or in words to that effect, and the
men were so inundated with fear that they
should lose their jobs, that all but one signed it.
The man who did not sign said that he should
vote for Beach, whether the boss voted that tick
ct or not. Let all employers who seek to lntimi-
date their workmen in this way be spotted They
are meaner than Jesuits

PEccAvI.-A correspondent of the Worcester
Transcript complains that don't say enough
against Beach, but altogether too much about
Governor Gardner. In reply to which we have to
say, that we don't expect to satisfy all parties,
and if Governor Gardner gets more than he or
his friends bear, it must not be attributed so
trdr we possess, Dut to his
and their weakness. Mr.. Beach was fairly nomi.
mated by party. Mr.. Gardner was unfairly
nominated by faction. We are opposed to the
election of both of them, AMI shall use all hon
orable means to defeat them; but we intend to
employ those means in the way that seems besl
to us.

meeting of the friends of Governor Gardner
was held at the City Hall last evening, to listen
to a speech from Mr.. A. B. Ely, of Boston.
Wilder S. s.Thurston, Esq, of Lancaster, was

after which he introduced Mr.. Ely to the audi

Sinking smile, spread out his hands, and
proceeded to deliver, with but slight alterations,

dull and so stupid-there was such an
abundance of words, and su3h poverty of IDEAS
that it seemed too much of an infection to put
upon our readers this morning, and we forbore.-
We noticed some of the most prominent of Gov.
Gardner's friends sound asleep upon the settees
before he had got half through with his DISCOURSE
and even the reporters, who are generally wide
awake upon such occasions. were nodding in their
chairs. Altogether, it was the dulest political
lecture we ever listened to-
AT about half past nine o'clock Mr.. Ely ended
his remarks, the audience having nearly all left
and Mr.. H. X. Flagg then took the stand and
made short Speech concluding with a song, ac-
companied by music from the violin, an instru-
