BosTOS, Tuesday, May 20, 1856.
The Republican meetings, preparatory to the
National Convention at Philadelphia, are in active
proeress In the Seventh Congressional District
Mr. Banks's the Convention for the choice of Dele
aates was held last week, and resulted in the
choice of Charles Hudson, ex-M. c.; Thomas J..
Marsh, State Treasurer in 1855; and Marcus
Morton. jr., q son of Gov. Morton. Mr. Hudson,
as you know, was formerly Wing. Messrs
Marsh and Morton were originally Democrats.
All three are understood 10 be in favor of Ere
mont's nomination.
The primary meeting to nominate delegates to
the Republican State Convention, which is to
choose Elk delegates 81 large to the National Con-
yentiop. was held last night in Boston. One hun
drel and thirty-two delegates were elected, and
the meeting adjourned with cheers for Fremont.
The Republicans of Cambridge also elected their
delegates last evening TO the State and District
Conventions.
Resolutions in favor of the speedy admission OF
Kansas under the Topeka Constitution have passed
the State Senate with only two votes IN the mega.
tiye-both Democrats. They would have passed
the House OF Representatives months ago had II
not been for the unfortunate composition OF the
committee to which the subject was referred
early in the session. That committee had two or
three true men upon il, among them Mr BraAen-
ridge the chairman, but the majority were either
of the worst stripe of Hunker Americans or else
of that dawdling timd, shilly -shallying class OF
third-rate followers of Gov. Gardner who abound
about this time in Massachusetts, and who, on the
Slavery question neither dare 10 be fish. hesn nor
good red herring. The positive hunker1sm on the
committee Of course ruled such men, and came
very near killing the resolutions altogether;
Their passage through the Senate has been delayed
by these influences until the very end OF the ses-
sion, and il is 10 be feared that, without strong
e1ertions on she part of their friends, they wiz
not be reached al all in the House. Everyood!
knows that the sentiment of this State is unmi'-
takaby for Free Kansas, and there is mucn IN
dignation expressed that her voice should Dc
gagged by few Fillmore Americans. On u'
rect vote however, very few OF them will dare 10
Outrage their constituents by going for Border
Ruffianlsm.
