Mass0 Chusptfs.

The Springfield Republican, the ablest organ
of the so-called Republican party in Massachu;
setts, enters into an estimate of the strength
of that party, and with all its anti-slavery feel
ings, it is forced to admit that the overwrought
sectionalism of that State is beginning to react,
and that the National Americans are in fair
way to triumph in November
From recent number of that journal we
make the following extract:
All the journals that supported Gov. Gardners
election last fall now openly or secretly sustain the
Philadelphia negro ticket; and as yet there is no
reliable evidence that the greater proportion of
the party in the State viii not in the end, support
that ticket The matter is managed good deal
as the Gardner movement from the Republican
Convention was last fall; and present appearances,
in the light OF that experience, indicate that the
Fillmore nomination will get larger proportionate
support from the Americans in Massachusetts, than
those from any other free State COL Brewster
has got an endorsement of himself and the nomina-
ton from the party in his district and local Coun
ellis in various places are giving in their adhesion
Gov. Gardner has publicly and warmly com.
mended the new platform, and the men who par
ticulsry represent him are active in getting the
nominations confirmed. The Springfield American
speaks in defence and apology for the candidates,
when 1t speaks at all and the Palmer Journal is
beginning to be very well pleased with the plat
form, while 1t defends Fillmore from the attacks Of
the opposition press and claims the action Of the
recent State Council as an endorsement of the
nominations. Ifpresent developments indicate any
thing the American party will substantially 90 for
the Philadelphia action, making up by recruits from
the remnant of the Wing party what may be lost
by the desertion Of those conscientious men among
them who insist that the doctrines of the Spring,
field platform should be applied as strictly to ma
tional as to State politics
twill require as hard struggle to give the vote
Of Massachusetts, to the ant-N Nebraska or Republi-
can candidate, as that Of Maine and more effort
than will be necessary in the other New England
States. So far as may be judged from the tone Of
its press and the action Of its political organiza
tons, there is no more, IL much, practical anti
slavery sentiment in Massachusetts, now than there
was before the last great series of ourages Of the
slave power in Kansas. However disagreeable or
discreditable such a confession may be, there is
nothing in the public sentiment at the present mo-
ment to Justify different opinion. Mr.. Fillmores
vote in Massachusetts, does not now promise to be
less than 10000, while It is not unreasonable to
anticipate that 1t may reach $4,000. But not until
the other nominations are made, and the campaign
assumes . settled character, can we speak In any
other than the tone Of speculation and inference
from present appearances.

The House Bookbindir~.

We have already stated the facts in relation 10
the bookbinding of the House The contract was
awarded to Mr.. Williams, of Toledo, at twenty per
cent. higher than the price for which Mr. Farm
ham offered to perform the work. Mr.. Farnham
then gave Williams s20,o 900 for the contract, and
the government now pays Mr. Farnham $4,000
more than he offered to do the work for
This statement we made two or three weeks ago,
and II has not been contradicted
In consequence Of the exposure Of this fraud
upon the government Democratic member Of
Congress from Virginia applied to one Of the par
ties concerned for information, for the purpose Of
introducing resolution Of inquiry in the House.
The gentleman to whom he applied, informed him
that the facts were as above stated-but stated
that if the member should offer resolution of in.
quiry on the subject, he would procure the adop-
ton Of an amendment calling for an investigation
into the frauds in the Public Printing.
Whereupon the member desisted from his pur
pose-fearing doubtless that the frauds committed
by his political friends in the printing, would
prove greater than the binding swindle
We make these statements now, with the hope
that some member Of Congress who is not afraid
of exposing fraud no matter by whom committed
will take early opportunity Of calling for an in
vestigaton.

How THEY LovED HN.--When General Scott
was nominated il 1882 for the Presidency, what
oceans Of tears the Locofoco leaders shed over
Mr.. Fillmore. No language was strong enough to
convey an adequate idea of the admiration and
love which they entertained for him. He was a
pure and incorruptible patriot true to the rights
of the South, and worthy Of the confidence Of all
He was indeed "a model President whose ad-
ministrstion bad been as conservative as Wash
ington.n We predict that the very men who thus
sItoIled Mr.. Fillmore, win now, for partisan pur-
poses, swallow their own words, belle their own
endorsements, and traduce him ss ardently a. they
then praised bm.--Roieigh (N. C) Rsgister.

this regard no man can deny. / will not 90 into
statistics an occasion like this but have au-

tercourse with us, have long been disgorging from
their pententiaries and their pest houses, their
felons and paupers, and shipping them to the
shores of America. In some countries--particu-
larly in Belgium-the Legislature has seriously
considered as question of economy to the gov

transport their felons and paupers to America -
