1860

The number of Republican journals which
express preference for Col. Fremont as the
candidate of the party in 1860, is very large.
The list embraces every Republican paper in
Michigan, and many of the most influential
presses in the other free States.
However premature such d nomination at
the present time, in view of the unforeseen
emergencies i'll our national affairs which four
years may bring forth, it is clearly indicative
of two facts =
First, the utter failure of the violent attacks
OF a portion of the opposition on the personal
and political character of Col. Fremont. In
spite OF the unexamplef and virulent abuse
to which he was subjected, it shows that the
masses of the Republican party regard him as
a gentleman of high ability, integrity, and
fortitude, and fit representative of American
character and institutions.
Second, 1t demonstrates the vitality and
energy of the Republican party. Defeat, in
stead OF breaking its ranks, seems to have
bound its various sections together as with
"hooks of STEEL" There are no heart. burn.
ings or recrimtnations but the organization
everywhere presents an unbroken front, and
is universally inspired with confidence in the
ultimate adoption of its principles as the per.
manent policy Of tho American government.

The CITIZENS MEETING = The adjourned
meeting of the citizens. last evening, resulted,
as we expected, in the triumph of the Americans,
by the domination of their candidate for Mayor.
George W. Richardson, Esq.
We have denounced this movement from the
FIRST, as desperate game of the Gardae,1tes to
redeem their-fallen fortunes, and the result has
proven that we were right. It was not citizens,
meeting, in any just sense Of that term. Its pre-
hminary arrangements were almost entirely con-
troled by the leading Gardnerites of the city, and
everything was cut and dried, in order to give it
an American flavor" from the first meeting in
the Union church yestry, down to the last dark lam
tern conference at the Nashua House. If the
people like the nominations and the mode in
which they were brought about, we have moth
ing to say; but we believe that the great body
of the Republicans of Worcester have serious
objections to making very vigorous efforts Just at
this time towards setting the Know Nothing dy-
nasty, which has just been SO handsomely knock
ed over in Worcester county, again on its pegs.

IHE WATER QUEsTIoN-A very important
question is to be submitted to the voters of this
city, on Monday neXt-'the most important ner-
haps, ever presented to them. 1t is whether the
city shall be supplied with water from Henshaw
Pond. Probably very few of our citizens have
given the subject the careful consideration its i'm
portance deserves. All are agreed that we want
a plentiful supply of pure water, and that our
city is now very poorly furnished with IT, But
we are not all united to the source from whence
it shall be obtained. The plan now presented to
us is to tap henshaw Pond, in Leicester. five
miles from the City Hall, and bring the water
thence in pipes to the city. Are our tax PAYERS
ready to sanction this project, and involve us in
debit Of at least half million Of d0llarsY as il
certainly will, and in the estimation Of men of
sound judgment, much larger sum l trust not,
much as we want water. l cannot think our cit
zens are ready to expend so large sum as will
be necessary to carry out the proposed plan. Be-
fore 1t is too late, let avoid contracting debt
OF the great magnitude which this project will
plunge us into. Aud especially, as there is in the
minds OF many, well.groundod doubt as TO the
adequacy Of the supply to be obtained from the
source in question. Wehave already expended A
large sum in obtaining the limited supply we now
have and before voting to tap another pond, we
ought TO examine well into the proposed project,
and vote Understandings. When we undertake
to bring water into the city let us have an abun.
dant, never-faling supply from an undoubted
source. That we can have II, and at less than half
what It will cost to bring it from Henshaw Pond,
there is no Doubt. The public mind is thoroughly
aroused to the great importance aud necessity of
our being better supplied with water than we now
are that some, feasible plan, within our means 10
accomplish, will undoubtedly soon be DEVISED
Let us, therefore, give an emphatic NO to the
present question, and wait little longer, until
cheaper and better plan is submitted to us.

or, as Carlyle would say, the " universal linn
bo," of corrupt politicians, whom the people
have weighed in the balance. and found
wanting"
Those who have entered into this deep
laid scheme with His Excellency, for the at
tainment of tins, the greatest of all triumphs
which he has coveted,-a seat in the United
States Senate, even though it were only for
single day-do not expect to attain the success
to which they aspire, by eHkindling in the
minds of the Republican members of the leg
islature any feelings OF love OF admiration for
the Governor, but they hope TO secure votes
enough from that party to accomplish their
purposes, on the plea that it is the speediest
and most effective, and of course the best wav
to get rid of him. This is to be Ithe chief ar
gan'ent,sn' ad aominum with that class of men,
and it is of all things the most potent one
they can bring to many minds. 1t is the same
argument that was used at the Republican
State Convention, with such wonderful Esuc-
cess, as almost to give the nomination Of that
party to Governor Gardner, than whom it had
no more bitter foe in the Commonwealth
and it was the argument that finally induced
that Convention to refrain from nominating
any candidate against him, when it held in its
hands the power to elect any man of its
choice by triumphant majority, to the high
est Office in the State.
Nominate Gov. Gardner to kill him off
for the future" was the talk then, by the very
same class of persons who are now urging the
Republicans to make him U. S. Senator, in
order ''to get rid of him." In this mode of
dealing with political opponents, it is needless
for US to say, that we have no faith now, and
never have had. We should consider it most
disastrous event, if for any cause Mr.. Sumner
should resign his seat in the Senate while
there was the most distant hope of his recov-
cry, but especially, if such resignation should
tend to the election, to that seat, of man SO
unworthy to fill 1t. Let the republican mem
bers of the next Legislature, ponder upon this
"last dodge of the Gardnprites," the outlines
of which We have only presented, and be pre-
pared when the proper time mes,to resist the
scheme of political iniquity and corruption,
which is now contemplated, as becomes the
citizens and legislators of Massachusetts,

where he was born, and the same land had
been occupied by two generations of the same

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN TELEGRAPHIC AP-
PARArUs.-By invitation, we visited the rooms
Of the American Telegraph Company, in Wall
street, for the purpose Of seeing the opera,
ton OF Hughes printing telegraph instrument
which has at last been completed, and is
worked with entire success. Mr.. Hughes was
present, and seemed to take pleasure in ex-
planning to the several gentlemen assembled,
the mode in which his simple but effectivein
strument works.Two operators one at each end
OF single wire can, by means of this nstru-
ment. conveymessages simultaneously to each
other, printed neatly and as rapidly as human
fingers can spell the words on the keys Of the
instrument, which are constructed precisely
like abe keys of piano. AS soon as this in
strument is adopted on the various telegraph
lines, there need be no such vexatious delays
as now sometimes occur in the transmission of
messages. The news from Halifax and the
news from New Orleans may be conveyed at
the same instant on the same wire. This
telegraph instrument also has the merit of
conveying messages with unialling accuracy,
and when it is brought into use we need have
no more such blunders as now often occur in
teegraphing proper names. MIR. Hughes has
done great service to the public by the in.
vention Of this instrument, and we trust that
the patient and perseyerng thought and labor
which he has bestowed upon it, will be liter
ally rewarded,-N. Y. Commercial AdUerti.
