ESTER DAILY-
Political Items,

We yesterday published extracts from cores
pondence, and items of intelligence, show
ing the state of the political canvass in the
south part OF the county. Since then We have
heard from Westboro that there is great unanim-
ity in that town in favor of Rockwell and Free
dom, and that the Republican ticket is sure to
receive majority of the votes.
The New Bedford Mercury says that the Wing
party of Massachusetts, was perhaps never more
alive and erect upon its feet than at the present
moment. This is crowding the mourners little
too hard.
The Fitchburg RereiAe gives very favorable
account of the Republican prospects in the north
part of the county, but not more favorable than
our advices from many of those towns had pre-
pared us to expect The ReueHe says
We are happyto inform our readers that in this
neighborhood the Rockwell ticket is fast gaining
ground; in Fitchburg, where it is admitted on
all sides that Gardeners relative vote must be
much. larger than in any other town in Worcester
coun Y, there is little doubt that Rockwell will
receive a handsome plurality. In Leominster, as
we are assured by member of the American
Council there, Rockwell will receive large ma.
j0rity of all the votes. We learn from Winchen-
don, Royalston, Tcmpleton Gardner, Ashby,
Nuremberg, Ashburnham, and Westminster, that
in those towns the Rockwell ticket will also large
ly prevail.
The same paper in giving an account of a
Gardner Rally" in Fitchburg. few evenings
since, says-They hire extra train of six
or seven cars to run from Athol and return imme
diately after the meeting and messengers were
sent to towns along the line to stir up the natives
the result of these efforts was rather failure,
as the extra train brought down only one hundred
and three persons, portion of whom were among
our " adopted fellow citizens" who improved this
chance to get ride to Fitchburg and back again
for " fifty cints.'
In Franklin, as we are informed upon good au-
thority the Know Nothing Council has voted
unanimously to disband, and to support the Re-
publican ticket, In Pembroke, the Know Moth
ing Council has also been dissolved.
A business letter to the Springfield Republican
from town in Hampshire County, says of poll
tics and parties'' F,tsion takes ,oeU here doubt
tohether Gardner gets more than or ttoo uotes,
VALLEY about the same, Beach about sir, herest
set dozen for RocksceH." This is a fair expression
of the uneoEtanimated feeling of the interior
towns of the State.
hangman foote, the formerly notorious
Senator from Mississippi, heads the Know Moth
iugs in California, and their delegates to the
Philadelphia National Council were the most sub
serFient of pro-slayery doughfsees, getting down
lower than the Hindoos of New York. Yet the
Boston Bee halls their recent victory as GLORIOUS
news" and wants Massachusetts to respond to it
by electing Gov. Gardner in November.
Methuen and Pembroke have added themselves
to the long list of towns that have dissolved their
Know Nothing Councils
We have it from the best authority that there
are few Gardner men in Mllbury. 1t is not at all
probable that Gardner will receive ten votes
in that town.
