DORCHESTER, Oct. 90, 1855.
To the Editors Of tie Worcester Daily Spy
Dear Sirs,-ln your paper of the 22d inst, is the
report of a speech, delivered by Mr.. Hanscom
In which my name is used in connection with my
neighbor Gov. Gardner. For one, l regret that
tomahawk system of waging political strife, which
brings before the public the of private in
dividuals or cursdry Conversations but if it must
be justice certainly requires that the facts be
rightly stated In the present case, understood
by Mr.. Hanscom6 it amounts the novelist
would say only to fictions founded on fact.
lst I never told Gov. G. e" thought he told
me he was going to remove Judge Loring," for
l had never had any previous words with him on
the subject,
3D. Inever said 81 regret exceedingly you have
not done So" for much as / approve of that gem
eralpubhc sentiment that abhors any voluntary
assistance in carrying out that accursed act, and
Teloice IN the healthy expression of it by the late
Legislature, never took any active part in en-
deavoring to obtain Judge Lorings removal ev-
en- to the signing of petition for it.
I'd. Gov. q never said never mind !" hurry
ing to avoid the conversation.
The amount OF our conversation was this oc .
curing very soon after the Lorng veto, that he
sympathized in the feeling, but could not consti-
tutionly approve the act, then observed, but af-
ter all the great feature of the session is the Per-
sonal Liberty Bill. This, he observed, would he
thought, be passedby large majority, and that
no veto would meet it, TO prevent its becoming
law as it gave me pleasure to hear these re-
marks, repeated them, and when the veto did
come, they caused some remarks, which in travel
ling round the circle, finally came to his ear
Meeting me afterwards in the street, he alluded
to it, and said, he wished to make one expana-
ton, which was this, that when he said the bill
would meet with no veto, he supposed some sec.
tons, constitutionaly Objectionable, would have
been stricken out as he had been assured would
be the case, and that he made that explanation,
that might not be lead to suppose that he meant
Intentionally to deceive me, in our previous con
yersation.
This, believe, is the upshot of the only political
signed the Personal Liberty Bill and been the
regular nominee of the Great Freedom, P0i9ynow
forming, would have voted for with the same
pleasure now shall for our excellent nominee

they cannot begin to supply tickets fast they

there will be one hundred thousand people on the

Gov. GARDNER's ANTI SLAyERY.-Let the
freedom loving citizens of Worcester County bear
in mind that the best anti Slavery work that was
ever done by a Legislature of Massachusetts,, was
done by the last Legislature, and that Henry j
Gardner resisted to the utmost all the appeals oil
his political friends, in the Legislature and out
of it, to aid in that work and that what was ac-
complished for the cause of freedom, was done in
spite of his opposition, which was based upon the
advice of the most ultra hunkers, with whom
he has always acted, ever since he came upon
the stage of manhood.

Which was the beginning Of a
CONTEST IN ARMS THAT ENDED IN
AMERICAN EPENDENCE
Those two pieces of cannon were returned
to the department, and General Devereux
sold them to Mr.. Alger. with this inscription
upon them, for old brass, at seventeen cents
per pound; (sensation, and cries of shame,
shame), sold them without any authority, and
made no recora Of The sale. He took Mr.. Al
gers note in payment, amounting to two hum
dred and twenty-five dollars, and four teen
days after, he had the note shaved in State
Street, and pocketed the money for it, paying
interest therefor. That money he. put in his
pocket, and left no account whatever of the
matter upon the books of the department.
(Great sensation.1
few months ago, moro than a year after
he had left the department, the pieces were
missed, and it was found that they were in
Mr.. Ayers possession. General Deyereux
was called upon to restore them. After months
of delay--after the Governor and Council
had instructed the Adjutant General to COM
mence legal proceedings against him, those
two pieces of ordnance have been recovered
They have been returned within the last forty
days, but not until after the Council had pass
ed the following resolution -
"Resot0ed, That the Adiutant General be
directed to settle with the late Adjutant Gen.
eral Devereux, upon condition that said Dew
ereux return the guns and pay for other prop.
erty sold by said Devereux without authority
of law, and not heretofore accounted for BY
said Devereux, provided final settlement be
made within five days; and if settlement be
not made within said five days, that the Ad-
jutant General be instructed to institute legal
proceedings against the suretics on said Dew
ereux's bond" This is a specimen of the
manner that department was administered un-
der the management of this very able Wing

LYING.-We believe there never was cam
paign whereth truth was exaggerated to such
an extent as it is in the presently the emissares
of the Gardner faction, who peddle soap in the
small towns of Worcester County in the day time,
and deal out calumnies and falsehoods gratis, in
the evening. They do not pretend to any conais-
tency in their story telling, and accordingly we
hear that in one town, the peddler statesman has
declared that in Worcester one thousand voters
were pledged to the support of Gov. Gardner; in
anosher, fifteen hundred; in another, eighteen
hundred Such kind of nonsense may amuse the
simpletons who believe in voting for man
who is covered all over with the badges of the
Shareholder" who,as Governor of Massachusetts,
has used the weight of his personal influence and
official position to keep down the anti-Slavery
sentiment of the people; but it wont do to tell
in Worcester, where, every one knows, that Gard
ner's popularity is all moonshine.

RIGHTS OF HUSBANDS IN PERIL.-A Man
Forbidden to Burn tile Dead Body ofhis Wife.
The Milwaukee American says that city was
thrown INTO the greatest excitement on the
10th instant by an attempt of man to burn
the dead body of his WIFE, The story was as
follows:
"a Russian by the name of Pfeil married
woman who was Brahmin III belief He
was possessed of wealth, and both were per
sons Of culture. She sickened and died. and
requested, according to the faith other fathers,
that her body should be burned PEEL had
collected sixteen cords of wood, arranged it
properly and was about to perform the deed,
when news of the fact circulated, creating in
tense excitement.
Sheriff Conoyer proceeded at once to Pfeils
house, and forbade the act. The Russian as
serted his right and duty to be, to burn the
body of his wife. No law torbids,' said he
my religion command; L will do IT. The
body was in its shroud, the torches prepared,
and all was ready to place it on the funeral
pyre Let 1t be borne to its place, continued
the Eussian 'there is no law against it in
Wisconsin,
But the sheriff took possession of the body,
ordered coffin, and made preparation for its
Christian burial. The crowd grew, and
thronged round the house. Alarmed or afraid
to persist, Pfeil gave his consent to Chris
tan burial You may order or have what
ceremonies YOU please, over the body, said
Sheriff Conoyer. Gentlemen replied Pieil,
it makes no difference with us, if we cannot
60 on in our own way.
Thereupon the body was buried-though
the American intimates that the woman had
been ioully dealt with, and demands the full
est investigation into the matter.
What authority had the sheriff to interfere,
and decide that the man should bury and not
burn his wife, we leave to the lawyers to set
tle."-[N. Y. Eoeatng Post.

" The Scalpel." Dewitt & Davenport, Pub
fishers, New York.
DR.. Dixon, long known as an eminent surgeon.
standing at the very head of the profession. and
celebrated likewise as the author of several popu-
lar works on health, physiology. &c has found
time, amid his various and laborious duties, to
produce book, many scenes in which are pro.
nouneed fully equal, If not superior, to DR.. War
ren's celebrated Diary Of London Physician"
with this additional interest, that they actual
occurrences in every day life, happening in our
very midst-not matters of fancy.
The Doctor describes, With power that thrills
to our very heart and mOistens the eyes OF even
the strong man. however unused to the melting
mood scenes that he himself saw in the luxurious
homes, and at the canoped couch of the rich and
the purse-proud, when the cherished ones are
struck down by the memorable dart of the destroy
er. Likewise in the lowly cottage of the poor,
and at his humble bedside, our friend, the Doc
tor, is ever at his post, and like ministering
gel, ever ready to soothe their sutferings, and
smoothe, it may be, their passage to the grave
and touching too touching, ale his descriptions
of what he saw there.
In addition to the Scenes, are several articles
on health, written in popular manner, each of
which is alone worth the price of the book. And
particularly recommend to mothers the Treat
Uses on Scarlet Fever, Hopping Cough, Group,
Consumption, &C., as presenting TO ali, in clear
and lucid manner, the proper treatment of these
common diseases.
1t is especially home book, affording both
amusement and instruction and should be in the
hands of every parent in the land. The book is
most beautifully got up; the illustrations by Oar
ley are magnificent, and the publishers have spar
ed no expense on the letterpress and binding
We predict for the work an immense sale, as 1t is
just what is wanted as a household book.
