Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1856-08-15

few small fry politicians in different parts of
the State still busiy engaged in the futile
efforts to obtain an endorsement of the nomina-
tion Of Gov. Gardner from the Peoples Conven-
ton which is to assemble in Worcester on the
18th proximo. So far as we can learn, these
efforts do not meet with any favor from the mass
of the people, and the universal feeling seems to
be, that the success of the peoples movement
should not be hazariei in this iuneiure by loading
it down with the defunct party hacks of any
political organization. The people OF Massa.
shusetts Enthusiastically in favor of Fremont
and Freedom They are disposed and determined
to make the Slavery Question the paramount
issue in this canvass, and though they welcome
help from any quarter, and would be glad to see
every opponent of the Administration in the
State, marching under one banner, still they are
aware that under existing circumstances, it would
be the hight of folly to purchase the votes of any
man or any set of men, by admitting, for a mo-
ment that any candidate for any other office, has
claim upon the party for its suffrages as
qod pro gao for its support of the nominations of
the Philadelphia Convention.
The Peoples party is as its name implies
party of the people. 1t is made up of men
of all parties, embracing in its ranks, Re-
publicans, Democrats, Wings, and Americans,
who have come together and formed new party
organization for a special purpose, which all of
them understand. Is it to be supposed that such
party thus constituted, with such purpose, is
to be made the subservient tool of faction? Is
it to be supposed that the thousands of honest
naen in Massachusetts, who have forsaken old
party organizations, and the cherished political
associations of years, in order TO rescue the gov
eminent from the grasp of the slave power, are
to lend themselves to promote the petty schemes
OF few half starved Office seekers, who, possess
sing neither the wit or the habits of industry that
would enable them to obtain an honest livelihood
by manly toll at some respectable vocation, are
calculating to fasten themselves like leeches upa
on the treasury of the State, thence to suck the
reward of their servility and meanness Is it to
be supposed that party composed of such ele-
ments, can so far debase itself and abandon its
high professions of principle for the purpose
of promoting the ambitious designs of sin.
gle man, who stands to-day in the most open
hostility to their organization, and who has with
in few months put upon record his sentiments
of seorn and loathing, by declaring that if he
had been nominated last year by party, estab-
lished with similar aims and Objects che would
have improved the quickest opportunity to send
it 1.-THE nomination. back to the convention. -
The time does not appear to have come. for the
" artful dogers" who make politics trade, and
ofhceseeking profession to divert great popu-
lar movement for the promotion of the cause of
Freedom, and for re-establishing the principles
of justice, honor, and right, into mere append
age of fragment of once powerful but now
divided party, merely to crafty the ambition of
one man or the thirst for Office of his hangers-on.
The people are on the trail of the PArHr1ND-
ER, and him they will follow
Through lake, and through river
O'er mountain and glen"
And they cannot be diverted from the trail that
will lead him to the white house, and enthrone
their principles in the chair of State along with
him, by all the tricks of all the political huck-
