addresses from the nominees for Governor and
Lieut.. Governor, who had notified them that

The Faneul Hall meeting was called to order

witch, with tive Vice Presidents from each coun-

olutions were adopted, re-affirming devotion to
National American principles and faithful aiher.
ence to the platform promulgated by the Nation

enthusiastic and harmonious.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN I'VE notice that one
Of the resolutions passed at the Banks Ratifca.
ton Convention, in this city. is not correctly
printed in the Boston papers. the word american
having been interpolatei in the last line but two
of the last resolve but one. The following is the
resolve, as it was printed and adopted by the
Convention, and the word in brackets shows
where the Interpolation was made:

We received the official copy from one of the
Secretaries Of the meeting, and after carefully
revising our own copy by it, handed it TO one Of
the Boston reporters, in the presence of another
reporter from Boston, and yet, in the report of
both Of the Boston papers which those reporters

THE BARBgcUE.-At the Young Mems Con-
vention recently held in this city, it was an
nounced that grand barbecue of the friends of
Mr.. Banks would come off at Charles River
Grove, Needham, some time In the latter part of
this month. In such a season of hard times and
general depression in business we think such
mode of getting up political excitement is of
rather questionable propriety, and most heartily
concur with the very sensible view of the subject
which is taken by the Boston Traveller, from
which we quote below;
"The supporters of Mr.. Banks cannot afford

example in his speech, of treating the election
sensibly, practically, soberly. He has announced

wherever and whenever they shall seek him. His
own presence in every county in the State, the
speeches of other orators, dealing with the cam

simply of partizans but of the people, and thor.

THE Boston TRAvELLER.-The Traveller Of
the 10th announces the withdrawal of Samuel
Bowles, Esq, from the publishing firm of Worth
ington, Flanders, & Guild and also his retire
ment from the editorial chair of that paper "The
different principles of newspaper economy held by
the respective parties is assigned as the reason
for the change.
The Journal of last evening says sits rumored
that the Traveller will become neutral paper
that it will be printed in the folio form, and upon
the old four cylinder press, which for three or
four weeks past has been supplanted by ten cyl

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT--Cou five
dollar notes are in circulation purporting to be
new emission of the Bank of Kent, in Washing

was made by Terry, Pelton, & Co. The coulter

the true notes, IS in square frame facing to tn,

an oval frame, facing the right. These counter
feits are well calculated to deceive people, whc
would naturally suppose the bank had got a new
plate.
