IsIRtures- Duty Of the Republican,.
The desperate efforts of the Gardnerites, to OBJ
tain control of the Legislature, have two princi
pal objects. First, the defeat of Mr.. Sumner for
enstor, and the reelection Of Gov. Gardner to his
lace, and second, the passage of the American
amendments of the Constitution, and the conse-
quent re-establishment of the Know Nothing
party upon the ruins of the anti-slavery party
1t is to forward these two objects that the Gov
ernor and his emissarieg are now making war up
on the Republicans of Worcester county, and en-
deavoring to choose a regular Gardnerite ticket
for Senators.
The attempt of the Governor to GUST Mr.. Sum-
ner from his seat last winter,-a year before the
regular time for the election arrived-is fresh in
the memories of our readers. 1t was only arrest
ed by the excitement consequent upon the kin
dred assault of the assassin Brooks. After that
event, it was not thought judicious to press the
matter. The Governor, however, exhibited his
hostility to Mr.. Sumner, in his speech at the in
dignation meeting, over which he was called to
preside, but here again, after making several dir
ty land contemplate thrusts at the Senator, he
compelled by the Kisses of the audience to
desist. This scene was well represented by Mr.
Wendell Phillips, in his speech at Arlington,
portion of which, we printed not Icing ago BAT.
fed in these two attempts to injure Mr. Sumner,
the Governor rested until recently, when the ru-
mors relative to Mr.. lSumners health, have in
spired him with new hope. and he is now busy
the father of evil himself in his efforts to pre-
vent the true friends Of Mr.. Sumner from obtain
ing the control of the Legislature. For this pur-
pose he instgated his retainers in this city and
county to put up straight Gardner ticket un-
der the fraudulent name of " Union Ticket" If
he can procure the election of five men, who are
either strong partizans with himself, or fshy'
Republicans, he will consider himself on the
high road to success. The eorrupton-power which
he holds in the shape of the patronage of the
State, he is confident will control Senators and
Representatives enough, to give him the office he
coyets. And in this he probably does not reckon
without his host. In the review which we print
ed a few days ago, Of certain proceedings in the
House last winter on the Kanzas aid Resolves.

change Of so many votes is trophy of Execu-
tive skill, which may well embolden His Excel
lency to renewed efforts to defeat the anti slavery
sentiment OF the State. And as the Republicans
the State have been so wickedly derilect as to
allow him to be re-chosen. and to have this vase
powero conflict again, it behoyes .hem to repair
the damage II possible. by activity in che Senate
