ball, at Salt Lake City, August 10, in which
strong grounds were taken against the United

WALTHAM, Oct. &c, 1857.
To the Editor of the Boston Journal;
Sri read in the Journal of Saturday
evening, a letter purporting to have been
written by myself, relating to my nomination
as a candidate FIR Governor, and nay opin ion
upon the Tunnel. The only person with whom
I have had any communication whatever upon
these subjects, during the present year, is the
hon. E. C. Baker. Ny connection with the
nomination for Governor, is now well known,
and L have made no secret OF my opinion, as
a measure of internal improvement, upon the
question of the Tunnel and l now professno
change of opinion. The purpose of this note
is to repeat what L said in Faneuil Hall, that
as a candidate l am committed to no policy
whatever upon this question My desire has
been to unite as far as possible in one party,
the people of this State who are opposed to
the slavery propagandism Of the general gov
eminent, and who favor rigorous Tetrench-
ment Of State expenditures. 1 accepted the
nomination for this purpose. and no other. l

1 have never been willing to embarrass that
united action of men whose interests, opinions
and hopes, are the same, and which 1 think
essential to the industrial prosperity and the
liberties Of the country, by assuming to act
as their representative either for or against
mere corporation measure, which may never
be presented to the Legislature at all. Nor do
1 propose to make my opinions upon any mi
nor questions, the basis of a union which, to
be successful, must be limited to the subjects
upon which opinion is united.
Neither Mr.. Baker, nor any other person
has, or will have the slightest clam upon me
to give an official approval of any measure re.

A little child of Mr.. Wilkins Of Hardy
county, Va, strayed away from home on the
9th inst, and failing to return, great alarm
was excited, and the neighbors turned out to
search for the lost one. On the 10th a party,
accompanied by the father, found the little
fellow five miles from home, and when called
by his parent, the Maynard truant made
tracks in another direction, with all the
speed he was capable Of. He was well and
hearty, having subsisted about six days on
grapes and berries.
Patrick Sullivan, who married young
Irish girl at Duckville, four years ago, and
had three children by her in three years, has
been detected in marrying elsewhere, and
seems TO be rather OVERRIDING the MATRIMONIAL
business. He is now aaoat, hunting for other
victims.
OF forty-eight children received at the
Monson farm school on Thursday Of last
week, all but seven were orphans, and those
seven were the children of one mother, pro.
duccd in the brief period Of nine years.

lowing article from the Salem Gazette, for the
purpose Of putting the community on their guard
against system of swindling which has been
praetised with bat toe much success;
SEoelnakers Bound for Virginia. - Within the
last week several shoemakers in DanveTs have
made small investments in Virginia lands, par
chasing warrants for 200 acres at the rate OF 81
per acre, and paying for them in shoes. The
State Of Virginia has, il is said, some 10000
acres Of unimpTOved land, part Of it old and part
new, and lying West Of the AIleghanies. The
more Northern section Of this vast tract is the
seat Of Eli Thayer's enterprise. The purchasers
Of the warrants above referred to may locate any
where outside Of Thayer's domain. We are in
formed that several manufacturers in Haverhill,
and one or two other towns Of the county, have
also bought warrants.
The public should understand that these war
rants are not worth the paper they are written
upon. The State Of Virginia has no public lands
lef, that are worth taking as a gift, and these
warrants may be had in any desirable quantity,
we are informed, BY merely paying the cost Of
making the papers. Some of these sEindlng
spectators were in this place the last season,
and succeeded in getting off several Of their
worthless certificates, in exchange for goods and
other property. The representation that any
portion Of these Virginia lands are the seat Of
Eli Thayer's enterprise, is entirely false. Vir-
gnis has no public lands within ftty nsiies of his
settlement. The Dsnvers shoemakers have evil

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The Interior De-
partment has received information that
droyer lately, while crossing the Great Plains,
unnecessarily killed woman and child of
the Snake Indians, aud also fred at the war
chief OF the tribe. In consequence Of this,
the Indians are greatly incensed, as they have
heretofore been on remarkably good terms
with the whites, and have steadily refused to
take part with the Mormons. The fear ia
that they may depart from their friendly poll
icy. The Government will at once take
measures to repair the mischief thus occa-
stoned, if possible.
Nearly 100000 acres of land were located
with military land warrants, under the act of
March, 1866, from the LIST of July, 1856, to
the 3lst of August last.

THE TRUTH, ExAcTLY.-One of the Democrat
ic orators at Faneuil Hall, on Friday evening last,
said, as reported in their organs =
"In Massachusetts, we want less State expens-
es. Does Gov. Gardner supply this want You
know he does aot--he has been tile Ueyy head and
front Of the plunde1ing creao. We want bank re-
FORM but Gov. Gardner is the strong friend of the
present rotten system, and has always opposed
any change, and is now director of a bank which
is at least no better than any other Boston bank.
Thus It is that he represents no principle, no par
ty, no friends, but simply is he working for him
self"
This is just what we want, exactly. The idea
of making use of Gov. Gardner to reform any Of
the enormous sbuses of his own administration,
is ridiculous in the extreme, and we are surprised
and astonished at any suggestion or intimation
which should reach us from any quarter, that any
number of Democrats, holding to their professed
ideas on currency or any other reform" should
think OF rendering themselves so supremely ride.
ulous as to vote for him, Gov. Gardner or any Of
his crew, under any consideration, so diametri.
cally opposed is all their policy on State matterc

but expect soon TO run but five days per week.
Notice has been given that there would be
reduction in the price of labor, HUT the per
cent has not been fixed upon. The looms
stopped on this corporation. were those on
which heavy cloths were made, so that the
reduction in the number of pounds manufac-
tured is nearly one-half.
On the Suffolk, one-half Of the works are
stopped, and the others run six days per
week. They will reduce the price OF labor
soon.
The whole sumber of looms on the Tre-

clded what they snail do.

pany has also given notice that the wages will

Mr.. BANKS AT NORTHAMPTON AND GREEN
T1ELD.-The Springfield Republican says that
wherever Mr.. Banks goes, he brings out the peo-
pie to hear him, as no other political speaker in
Massachusetts has done for years. The meetings
at Northampton Friday evening, and Greenfield
Saturday afternoon, were, like the previous one
in Pittsfeld, of unsurpassed numbers and un.
expected popular significance. The large town
halls of both villages were filed, and that, in the
ease of Greenfield, although the meeting was in
the afternoon, and the weather quite forbidding.
Erastus Hopkins presided at the Northampton
meeting, and among the Vice Presidents upon
the platform was Judge Forbes.

The EIEcrIox.-The accounts that we

The ELECTIoN.-The accounts that we
continue TO receive of the state Of public SEN
timent continue to be not only confrmatory
of what we have already published, but as
sure us that great change is surely in pro-
gress, in favor of the election of Mr.. Banks.
So strong and so sure is the whole current of
the tide in his favor, that nothing can posi-
bly, prevent his election but the transfer of at
least from fifteen to twenty-five thousand
votes from the Democrats to Gov. Gardner
There is unquestionably an intrigue going on
between the Democratic leaders and the
Gardner men to effect this object, but we do
not believe that enough voters can be trans
ferred in this way to do it. But to guard
against every possible contingency, the Banks
men should now aim at nothing short of a
majority vote tor their candidate-o clean
majority ouer the tohole opposition. Do not be
startled, friends, at this proposition. With
the vantage grounds now in our hands-the
noble cause in which we are engaged-the
able, worthy, and popular candidate we sup
port-the prestige of success which accompa-
mics him-and the discontinue which is al
ready foreshadowed to our opponents--we can
secure majority if we but wiH it, and act
accordingly. Let our friends work, then, to
bring out the strongest possible vote, in every
section of the State, let them do their duty as
Republicans and friends of freedom, and they
may bid defiance to every combination that
may be organized against them.
