For the Spy,
Letter IN the II on. Henry Wilson.

union in the ranks of the Fremont and Day
ton men of Massachusetts. From being a
betting State" as Col Warren, ofIowa ex-
pressed it, Massachusetts has now become a
certain State. Her entire vote win be cast foI
Fremont and Dayton, unless indeed, the
contest should become so close that the friends
of Mr.. Buchanan might consider it an object
to present considerations to two or three fthe
Electors, which might induce them to recon-
slider their present determinations as they have
already reconsdered their former ones. This
is not likely l assume that the State is safe.
We are not liable to De further ex perimented
upon, for the benefit of betting politicians and
you are at liberty to leave the State in search
of other discords to quell, and other worlds to
conquer. There are difficulties in Pennsyl-
vania and in the Northwest which require
the intervention of every patriot. 1 observe
that some of our friends in the Western States
are reduced to the unhappy necessity,o of deny
ing that Mr.. Speaker Banks is, or ever was
"Know Nothing" Possibly, sir, you may
be called upon to explain the work, which,
within the last twenty-four hours you have
been engaged in and to convince the Repub-
licans of German birth, that the Republican
organization in Massachusetts, has not been
sold bodily INTO the profession of a proscrip-
tive and blgoted Know Nothing party Your
resources, in the way of paciication are al
most unbounded, and l trust they may be
used with great success to the cause of free.
dom in the west.
1t would be well, if you could take with
you, certain men, who have been cooperatives
with you in the great work you have carried
out here. But this is not to be expected
This State, is as yet only half saved Free
mont and Sumner are secured, but the Com
gressional districts are yet in danger. What
would the country what would the scorld
say if any of the distinguished members of
Congress should fail to be reelected? I am
rejoiced to see that these gentlemen them,
selves, for the most part recognize the para
mount Importance Of their own re- election,
and are disposed to yield all personal preiudi-
ces, and private feelings to secure that great
end. Since the days of Curtius the world
has seen no such self sacrificing principle
To plunge into the gulf of three thousand
dollars year, and in the case of one of these
gentlemen, into gulfof double that depth
this is a sacrifice requiring the exercise of the
MODEST faculties OF Congressman's nature.
Let us rejoice that we have got men who are
equal to it. l think it not improbable that
with zeal and energy commensurate to the
Importance of the crisis, every district may be
saved. Nothing more will remain then to be
done.
congratulate you further, sir, upon your
efforts IN behalf Of Mr.. Sumner. You have
secured Tor HIM the endorsement OF party,
the leader OF which was intriguing during
considerable part oil last winter to Dust him
from his place before the expiration of his
term. This is very remarkable gain. You

Stephen A. Douglas and the chivalry cast it
IN his teeth that he is reelected, not by
spontaneous movement of the people, but by
CoGtst10", and as consideration Tor the cleo
ton OF Gov. Gardner you will be able to re-
ply to the charge-as well as you can. You
