Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1856-10-07


Is its MASTER, who now claims the right to all the
Republican votes in the state a malignant pro-
slavery Hunker who at public meeting in Fanu-
ell Hall, about the time Fillmore nominated
ratified the pro slavery PLATFORM predicted that
the americans aooaId carry the country 0" It!
1t is not our business to interfere with the af-
fairs of the people of the 9th and lith districts
but we have watched the proceedings OF these dis
tricts, and cannot help thinking that if the Re
publicans have particle of self respect, they
will resent the forestaIIing impudeuce of thesepre-
tended " allies" at every hazard But we come
to the most brazen of the Bees complaints. To
be appreciated, it must be read in full. Read

again, although their own Committee of
Conference, chosen by their own Convention
at Worcester, leach district selecting its own
member reported that they should adopt the
American State ticket, their Convention did
not accept the report, but voted to make no
opposing nominations, thus leaving each
press and member of their party to act as it
and he deemed proper, and although it was
urged that this amounted to the same thing
practically as if they nominated 1t, and that
they would advocate and vote for the Ameri-
per IN the State (the editor Of the New Bed
ford Mercury being a member of the Wing
State Committee, his paper cannot be called
Republican print, has hoiSted oar State ticket,
or intimGted It should support IL, BUT NUM-
BIER OF THEM HAVE ANNOUNCED THEIR UNAL-
TERABLE OPPOSITION TO 1T. Is this, under the
circumstances, fair, or just, or honorable?
Moreover, we are credibly informed that
the Republican State Central Committee have
decided to send out ballots aoithOW our State
ticket apoR theDi-and, for aught we know,
bearing an opposing one. Now we speak the
voice, we doubt not of the entire American
party, when we say that they will not be i'm
posed upon or made cats-Iaw of. They will
90 in the future, as they have SO far through
the campaign--with fair, and just, and hon
orable concessions-so long as they are met
with the same spirit and treated fairly and
justly by the Republicans, but they will not
be defrauded or wlonged with impunlty. The
sons of the patriots of Bunker's H.ll will do
much for harmony and peace, but if driven to
the wall, will defend their rights at every
peril If the Republicans refuse TO vote for
our candidates, tacitly accepted by them, or
even to put their names on their votes official
ly sent out, how can they expect us to sup
port theirs -"
The impudence of this almost defes comment.
1t is dema ID that the Republican committees
shall do precisely achat their Contention Instruct
ed them not to do, viz print the names Of the
Gardner ticket on their ballots We believe it
has never been the practice of the Republican
State Committee to send out ballots that work
has been left where it belongs, with the County
Committees, so the credible information of the
Bee is undoubtedly fabrication of that paper, or
of the Governors railing accusation for the pur-
pose of getting up a complaint of some sort.
1t may be well to refer to the action of the Re-
publican State Convention. The Conference
Committee reported in favor of adopting the
Gardner ticket Four members dssented. The
report was met by stormy and successful oppo-
sition, and by almost unanimous UOte the recon-
mendation of the majority struck out, and the
Convention decided that it aooal9 not nominate or
recommend the ticket. The Bee speaks the truth
when it says that no Republican paper has put up
the Gardner ticket None dares to put it up
The Republicans have no candidates they have
expressly refused to support Gardner, or Beach,
or Bell, or Gordon, and it would be a risky bust
ness for any Republican paper to put up the
names of either of these candidates, or for any
Republican Committees to print votes for them
One or two mongrel sheets, under the control of
Attorney General Clifford, may support the tick
ct, but that will be all. The Republicans do not
mean to vote for Gardner, and that functionary
9 9aRat tq 81 eoTef6roNng his CORRUPT DYNASTY
and have consented to withdraw from the field,
and allow him to get all the votes he can, without
formal opposition.
We now come to the motice of this illumination
of His Exceliency, through the Bee. The char.
acter of this functionary is now tolerably well I'M
derstood. HE'S bound by no ties of honor; treach-
cry is his especial vocation. He hates the Re-
publicans as his worst enemies;" he wants Mr..
Summers place in the Senate, and means to have
it if possible. One great object of the Governor
is, to defeat the asceudency of the Republicans in
the State Senate. He hopes to do this by con-
trolling the county Conventions and getting a
majority of Americans and Fishy Republicans
elected If this plot fails he means to establish
quarrels throughout the State, and throw the SEN
ate into the hands of the bunker coalitionists,
SO that the election may go over until next year.
So there are two strings to his bow. The only
danger is of the success of the first plot Ifthat
idllS tneIe 10 uo udISSI VI succtss 10 the Otner.-
If the Gardnerites undertake to makt fuss with
the Republicans, the latter will go on and eecta
majority of the Senate and House on their own
accounts. But the experience which the Govern
or has had with the Republican doughfaces, in
duces him to believe that such articles as this in
the Bee may have the effect to make them yield
a majority OF the State We shall soon be able
to see what is the result Of the plot.
We are aware that many believe that the Bee
and the Governor are both going back to Fill
more. We are told that the premonitory symp.
tom of His Excellency at the State House, has,
within few days begun to talk Fillmorism, and
bernatorial field is abandoned to him, to secure
his pro slavery position. We recommend the
Republican State committee to keep an eve upon
his Excelency. 1t may be that the people will
demand of them to call State convention for
the nomination of Fremont candidate for Gov
ernor. Forewarned ,forearmed. Four weeks is
short time, but it is long enough for political
revolution, unpromising as the prospect may be.
The MASS CoNvENTIoN.-We understand that
the Committee, having in charge the getting up
of the Fremont Mass Convention for Oct. Ia.
have decided that under the circumstances, now
surrounding us, it is not expedient to hold it.
Among the reasons which impe the taking of
this step, it is urged with great pertinence that
the speakers whom all would expect to hear, are
