The Republican party has suffered one defeat,
and gained hundred victories. The election of
John c. Fremontis postponed to 1860, but ,200,.
UUO votes are already enlisted as the nucleus
around which the great army of Freedom will
rally in the next contest for the Presidency
What pregnant fact is it, that all New En-
gland is united, that the empire state and Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa stand shoulder to
shoulder in the Republican rapks. What cap
ital to begin another year with
In Massachusetts,, owing to the action of the
Worcester Republican State Convention in de-
Ginning to make nomination of State officers,
the lines have been less distinctly drawn than in
other states, yet, how evident it is, that the Re-
publican party have overwhemning majority,
and can do whatever they will. How significant
is the fact that, in almost if not all cases in the
counties and district in which the Republicans
put up distinct tickets, they have carried them
over all Others. How clear is it, that the same
result would have taken place if the same issue
had been made for the state
'Of all the counties in the Commonwealth, none
has more reason to be proud than our own
Here we have met the issue finely and bravely,
and the result has settled the point, that Wor-
cester county is sound to the core. We certainly
have great reason to congratulate ourselves, that
there were men of nerve enough in this county,
to take bold position, and to keep it up.
While it is gratifying to know that our whole
county ticket is chosen, it is matter OF high sat
isfacti0n, to all the friends of freedom, that our
candidate for Sheriff has been triumphanty elect
ed.
No man in this county so well deserves such an
expression of the peoples confidence The man
whom Frank Pierce, with nations patronage,
could not buy, is jdst the man whom old Worces-
ter county, delights to Lonor
Of all our hundred victories, none affords more
heartfelt satisfaction.
Next to it, we place the election of Eli Thay
er to Congress That is double victory, for it
places able and efficient man in Congress, and
keeps one at home, whom the Ninth District
does not need there.
In view, then, Of what we have achieved, and
of the position which we hold as Republicans of
Worcester County, is it not desirable that gem
eral meeting of the party should be called for mu.
tual congratulaton, for renewing pledge of
/ fidelity to principles and candidates, and our
| determination to abide by our distinct organiza-
! ton Would not such movement, at this time,
| tell with great effect upon the future strength
! and stability of our cause in the State? Would
| 1t not encourage the members of party, in
! other counties, that have succumbed to the
threats and demands of the SOi daSaRt Ameri.
cans" Ii we intend to stand up as seperate
organization ought any time to be lost in avow
ing that determination Is not such measure
rendered necessary by the paralizing effect of
party action, in not nominating State Ticket of
! its own So it seems to us.
| We have nothing to gain, and everything that
is dear to US, the friends of liberty to lose, by
any further paltering or compromising with those
who have other questions, than the great ques-
/ ton of freedom. WORCESTER WEST.
