GARDNER IN THE FIELD.

Mr. Gardner at last az we have all along toretold,
is fairly brought forward by his special organ, The
Boston Bee, as bob to the tail of Southern slave
breeding kite. The Bee cites the following paragraph
from The Ne,c York Crusader:
NOMINATIONS FOR THE PREsrDEsCY.-Severd
newspapers have raised their coors for different can
didates for the Presidency Among them we notice
the nomination of the Hon. William X. Smith OF Ala
bama, by various newspaper: The American Con-
yention WILL long, settle the matter IN regard TO
their choice for this eminent and responsible office.
We have no doubt they will act with deiberation and
wisdom. Judge Smith has done great deal to adj
vance the cause Of Americanism. His speech in Con-
gress last session not only noble specimen OF
oratory, but timely and most important exposition OF
American principles. The speech ought to be read by
every politician in the land, and placed IN every family
Judge Smith the first in Congress to expose the
ntrgues and aggressions OF the Jesuts in this coun-
try, and every member OF Congress ought 70 exhibit
the same patriotism"
To this New-Yor nomination for the Presidency, a
Boston nomination for the VcePresidency is added
as follows:
ain connection with the name Of the Hon. William
r. Smith, several papers have hoisted the name of
Henry j. Gardner for the Vice Presidency. This
would be very strong ticket. Judge Smith comes
from the Democratic party, and Gov. Gardner comes
from the Wing party. With union of National
Americans North, South, East and West, the Amen-
can party could carry such ticket in triumph 10 the
White House in &C."
1t is true The Bee gives all this as from CORE
spOndeRt-perhaps Governor Gardner himself. 1t is
evidently feeler, for the purpose of testing to
what extent the Massachusetts Know-Noshings are
willing to be made q stepping-stone for Gardners
ambition. A Boston correspondent Of The Spring.
field Republican gives the following account Of the
Massachusetts, delegates lately elected to the nom-
mating Convention.
=" Very little interest seems to have been taken in
the conventions Of yesterday for the selection Of dele
gates to the American National Convention except per-
haps in the Boston districts. The Lowell Convention
had delegates from only ten towns. l have heard Of
some members OF the party who distinctly refused to
have anything to do with the conventions, holding
thu mseves bound suppose, by the act OF the State
Council which severed the connection last year. Mr.
Wheelwright elected in the lid District is, or was
recently, preceptor in an academy in Taunton. lie is
an intelligent and wide-awake man. and was Free
soer from 1s4s up to the advent of Know-S Nothing
ism. He pretended believe, that was right
to vote for Gardner in 1855, and l don't know as he
did vote for him. but he kept up bis connection with
the party under the impudent pretense that Il was
more Anti-Slavery than the Republican party He
will vote in convention his interest shall dictate
