Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1857-06-04
From our Boston Correspondent.

MeS1TS. Editors II hope don't intrude, when
i invite your attention to attempt to pull wool
over our eyes, in the following paragraph from a
Boston letter, signed "Agawam,' in the Spring
field Republican of Monday
"The Republican Convention of June "a has
| quite plzzled the leaders of the expiring Amer-
can faction, and the more particularly since it has
been growing evident that Mr. Banks, whom they
know they cannot oppose with any hope of re-
| spectacle vote even, would be nominated. Some
of them got together last night, and hitupon the
expedient of calling an American convention, in
GdUd2ace OF the Republicans, on June l6, and nom
mating Mr. Banks frst This plan will, I'M
derstand, be carried out; though it is not agreea-
BILE to his Excellency, the Governor, for after his
party have thus sold out in advance, and without
waiting for terms, to the Republicans, there will
be no materials left for truck and dicker' for
his benefit. This is truly deplorable event, not
only on his account, but because it may give Mas
sachuseits political campaign without a coali-
ton.
Now, if you will compare this paragraph with
the editorial in Mondays Traveller, upon which
commented in my last letter, you will see that
both proceeded from the same locality. "Aga-
| wam' evidently halls from the AtlaS-I beg par.
don-IraUeller office; and the purpose is the
same-to humbug us into the belief that Gardner
| is opposed to the nomination of Banks for Gov
ernor, and also TO cheat US into the idea that
Bankss nomination would prevent coalition
| with its struck and dicker" What transpa-
rent humbug The Traveller itself suggested
that the two parties should unite on Banks for
Governor, and measure their strength''-that
means, trade on the subordinate Offices and
"Agawam" understands this plan will be carried
outs" and then adds, with the most verdant MAJ
rs.
Uete, " this is not agreeable to his Excellency.''
When on the very day that the editorial and the
letter appear, his Excellency's organ dominates
| Banks for Governor and tells us that Gardner
"party sold out in advance to the Republicans, ;
when he has just told us that {" the plan is to
be carried out" for the Republican Conven-
tion to take up the candidate of the Know
| Nothing Convention without a why or a
wherefore Now let me tell "Agawam " that
honest Republicans think this looks rather as if
zoe are going to be sold out in advance /" and
more than that, that the men who performed this
operation last year can't repeat it this year, at
Past under the lead of N. P. Banks.
"a political campaign without coalition -
Yes, that is just what we mean to have ; but we
don't mean to commence it by endorsing and per-
pstuatjng the coalition which made Gardner Gov
ernor, last year, for the sake of reelecting GER
tain spoonies to Congress.
But, my dear Spy, let us take courage Our
point is gained. We have forced the fshy Re
publicaDs who are in the intrigue to sell us out
to Banks, Gardner, and Baker, to appear to pre-
tend that Gardner is against them. They are
compelled to g assume virtue, though they have
it not" Gardner is odious a coalition is obi.
GUS ; truck and dicker are odious. That is gain
ed. Their columns reel Pour in the hot shot,
and the day is ours.
DEATH TO PEDLERs IN PoI1rIosl
Read what the Bee says in reference to its
hosting Banks's name =" We may mention the
fact indicating the wisdom of the choice, that
at meeting of the members of the lAmer-
lean party, held last week, aobere all the coun-
sies in tie State soere represented, and about
eighty persons were present, there was very
strong expression of opinion in favor of the
selection of Mr.. Banks as the candidate
upon the Springfield platform (" And the
hucksters would have US believe that these eighty
leaders Of the American party, with the Bee to
boot, are opposing the wishes of Gov. Gardner
leh that to the marines. PAUL PRY.
