FRIDAY, MAY ., 1856.
S,.fe Convention.


Tn less than four weeks from this time, on the
fourth of June proximo, there has been called to
assemble in the Heart of the Commonwealth, a
State Convention of all the opponents of the
Administration on the Nebraska issue. In that
body there should be general representation of
all the lovers of liberty, irrespective of party. The
lines between them and the border rufian democ-
racy are distinctly and firmly drawn, and there
should be no attempt made to evade or shirk the
great issue. No less marked or distinct is the
issue between them and the supporters of the
Fillmore ticket, the State Council of whom
recently got together in Boston and chopped on
the head Of the Lieutenant Governor ior having
dared to hope that measures might be consuh-
mated for union of the friends of Freedom at
the North, in one political organization
Surely. then, there can be no installing what
shonld he the policy of the opponents of the
Administration in the coming canvass. 1t should
he in imitation of the course pursued by the
Republicans and Americans of Indiana at fu-
sion convention on the lst inst, where war to
the hilt was resolved against the slavery extern
sion policy of the Administration. against the
admission of any more slave States, and resolu-
ton was passed in favor of the immediate adTis-
sion of Kansas as free State, and where the
only resolution passed relating to the subject of
naturalization, was one declaring Sin favor of
the present naturalization laws of Congress with
the five years probation, and that the right of
suffrage should accompany and not precede nat
uralization."
By adherirg to such a platform as this, the
friends of freedom could sweep the country in
the coming Presidential election. We hope those
who shall come up here on the fourth of June
next, will be thoroughly imbued with sense of
the Importance of the crisis, and that in the
proceedings of that Convention will participate
all shades Of the opposition to Pierce, Fillmore
Co.
Among the duties of that body, will be the ap-
pontmento of six delegates at large to the Nation
al Convention at Philadelphia, on the 18th of
June The District delegates, to consist of three
from each Congressional District, are to be chos-
en- by District Conventions, called by the Nation
al Committee That for the 18th District has al
ready been called, to meet at Charlestown, May
18th. The Others will undoubtedly be called in
due season, but as there is not much time to
spare, we hope the matter will be attended to
without any unnecessary delay. The terms of
the call, in all these cases, should be as broad
and liberal in their scope those for the nation
al and State Conventions.

SOUTH WoRcEsTER.-ou enterprising fellow
citizen, Eli Thayer, ESQ.,, with characteristic
enthusiasm, is devoting his great executive tai
ents to the development and improvement of the
south part of the city, with an energy and zeal
that cannot fail of a rich return. Mr.. Thayer has
recently purchased about sixty acres, part of
which is useless swamp lying between South
bridge street and the embankment of the Provi-
dence Railroad, and Cambridge street, which he
is filling up with gravel and preparing for house
lots and manufacturing purposes. 1t is Mr..
Thayer's purpose to erect upon these premises,
the present season, another large and commodi-
GUS stone building, three hundred feet long, to be
leased for manufacturing purposes. Of course.he
will succeed in this enterprise, for it is way he

FOURTH OF July CELEBRATION We learn
that Hon. George Bancroft has signifed his ina
bility to deliver the grafton in this city on the
next anniversary of American independence, by
reason of prior engagements on that day, and
Hon. B. F. Thomas of this city has been invited

The preference for providing the dinner is to be
given to our own citizens-terms, bill of fare &c.,
being equal.

down in the "orders of the day." and special
invitation to all the absent sons and daughters of
Worcester is given, to return and unite with the
present citizens in celebrating the eightieth an
niyersary of American Independence.

1t is humiliating circumstance, that Massa-
chusetts should be the only State in New Eng
land, where the American party have not repu-
dated Fillmore But SO it is. However, Wor-
cester county has done the clean thing, the
delegates from every Council in it but one, Ia
new Fillmore Council in this cty,) having voted
in the recent State Council to repudate. Such
western councils as were represented were also
right. 1t was the delegations from Boston and
the cities and towns adjacent the representa- tves
ofGov. Gardner which forced the Fillmore nom
ination upon the party. But the masses can
never be made to stand it.

portrait of some distinguished woman of the

DIVISION OF THE CoUNrY-We have received
copies OF the majority and minority reports of the
JOINT Special Committee of the General Court,
upon the subject of dismembcring the counties of
Worcester and Middlesex, and creating new
county to be called Washington county from the
portions so cut off. The majority report pro.
vides for the organization of the new county, and
the minority provides for the submitting of the
whole question of dismemberment, &C., to the
legal voters of the towns it is proposed to set off
for the formation OF new county. This latter is
the only truly fair and democratic way in which
such question can be settled, and we hope that
majority ofthe Legislature will regard it in such
light

HEAVY BLACK MAIL OPERATION New
York Tribune says that a startling conspiracy
has just come to light in that city, by which
gentlemen who formerly held a high Off :.
cal position has been heeced out of money at
different times amounting to $50, 900 or $780,
600 by a conspiTator and black mail operator
Of the "Brown family"
A woman, young and fascinating, was in
this case, as in others, the tool used by the de
signing Brown to accomplish his object, aud
acted the part Of the "injured husband. . .
The alleged Grim. con. is said to have taken
place IS years ago, and since that time the
victim has been bled by Brown rather than
bear exposure.

The Philadelphia Convention will, without
doubt, be one of the largest assemblages ever
convened in the country. Already, arrangements
have been made on large scale, for the convey
ance of delegates to the Mass Convention, at
cheap rates. The steamboat, chartered at Bos-
ton, to convey party of 900, at the low price of
Sl2 for each person, for the whole trip, there and
back, including board on the boat and at the no
tel while in the city, is rare opportunity for any
one to pay visit to the cityof Brotherly Love-
and witness the deliberations of that grand as
sembly of freemen. We trust that large num-
Der of our citizens will avail themselves of this
chance, for so pleasant an excursion. See notice
in another place.

KANzAs.-We have received an extra from the
Office of the Herald IF Freedom, giving full ac-
count of large public meeting held in Lawrence
on the morning of April "a, to take measures in
eference to the attempted assassination of
Sheriff Jones, the previous evening. Hon. A. H.
Reeder presided. Speeches were made by Gov.
Reeder, Gov. Robinson, and others, in entire con.
demnation of the attempted shooting of Jones,
and such was the general tone of the meeting =
The N. Y. Tribune well says, " If any body
wishes to understand the difference between the
Border Rnfians and the Free State men, let him
compare these speeches with any of those ever
delivered at Border Rufian meetings, and with
the general tone of the Border Ruffian press"
The Kanzas Herald Of Freedom says:
The unanimous voice of the public is in utter
and decided condemnation OF the act Not
particle of sympathy exists for the assassin. We
are truly gratiied to know that the attempt of the
insane individual to tarnish the fair name of our
city, meets with such unanimous disapproval.-
Mr.. Jones is in fair way to get we'll"
A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune writes
from Lawrence, April Goth, as follows:
The Kickapoo Rangers are encamped about
four miles from here on the north. There are said
to be three hundred and fifty armed men in the
camp. " They came to aeeSaQe the death of Jones,
and TO assist the United States troops" Such is
the language said to have been used by one of
them to an Indian named Sicoxie. But although
Lawrence is in state of defense, there will be no
collision between them and the Free State men,
as this will be prevented by the troops, who are
stationed about four miles from this city.
