justification that he admitted at the same time

The decisive Fusion meeting takes place to-mor-
row at the United States Hotel. 1t seems quite as
committees will be present-the know-Nothing
Con mittee appointed at Springfield, the Know
Something Committee appointed at worcester,
the Chapman Hall Committee appointed last
week by o public meeting, and the hePubhcan
Committee representing those who adhered TO the
Republican movement Of last year Altogether 1T
is probable that there will be present about hun
dred gentlemen of all parties except the Hunker
Democratic.
The Know. Nothing leaders undoubtedly desire
fusion, though large section OF their party 0p-
pose it as unnecessary and impolltic The Know
Something's the Wings, and most OF the Free
Soi,eIs ON the Committees also, presume, are IN
favor of fusion A portion of the Free Sollers,
beaded by Charles Allen and Charles Francis Ad-
ans il is said, desire Fusion only on condition
that Know otbng ism shall be renounced entirely,
and the leaders Of the American party, especially
Gardner and Wilson, excluded from the new move
mept This "cOnditon precedent" is, OF course,
not likely to be accedeo to- The Know-Nothings are
willing TO take the Isk Of popular Convention,
and do not require that any body shall be Prescribed
but they alIege, with reason, that IT the people
want Gardner and Wilson for chiefs, they ought to
BE- allowed to have them Adams and Allen repre-
sent nobody politically speaking. AT the utmost,
not thousand men in the State recognize them as
political leaders. They are not, therefore, Ia
position which entities them to dictate the terms
of fusion.
small portion of the whig party, represented
by The Daily hdrortiStr, have declared against
fusion. The same position, after much backing
and filing has been taken by two Wing politicians
of considerable note aud of reputed LIBERAL char
acter, Z. W Chandler and Franklin Dexter. Mr:
Chandler is an honorable and popular man, aud
was the main pillar of Gov. Wnshburns Admins
tration. lie is still sore about the overthrow OF
that Administration, which was effected partly by
the treschery Of its own members, with whom he
is naturally indspOstd again to form political rela
tiops MIR Dexter is man OF hi.h talent and
character but has been much abroad Of late years
is out of political society and, in short, knows
much more of pictures than of politics. Tie at
tended the fusion meeting at Chapman Hall and
has declined TO go further in that direction, 10
published letter which is universally derlded as
silly. .
TIE Advertiser this morning assails The Atas
and The Fusonists in a style as well calculated as
ANYTHING could be TO embitter the feeling which
prevails in the State against those who claim to be
exclusively the Whig party. 1t talks swellngly
of men of honest purpose and steadiast princl-
ple-Whigs-uho do not choose 10 SINK hemselres
"io an eouaiitp with men who have been proved to
possess no principle and who may with good
reason be suspected OF having selfish ends in
" view in proposing and urging fusion.
The respectable Daily is perfectly sincere IN this
language Ii and the set of which 1t is the organ
still consider tn, mselyes the righttul masters OF
Massachusetts,. and believe that Tor the last h'e
wears they have somehow or other been cheated
out of their proper power. They naturally con-
sider il insult to be invited 10 SINK themselves
10 an equality with other men-all other nen, oil

venturers.
