The Boston Courier, and other bunker organs
are complaining bitterly of the radically anti
slavery tone Of the late Republican State Con
ventiun, as illustrated in the platform, most
the speeches delivered there, and in most OF the
nominees upon the ticket. The Courier says;
M. White, the President, on taking the
chair, made speech in which ne cans tle ne
publican organic ton that party which emolaz'
ons on its Gag, frst foremost, and everywhere,
the great g5tneipts Of oRpoSttion % sta0eiy ana
slavery extension ia the United States. This
statement is uDquestiDnabiy true. the hepu6-
lican. party is agitatiBg, and does mean TO agi-
tate, against slavery itself, within the slave
States, bat the remark was an imprudeRt slip of
the tongue. In confirmation of this assertion,
we find in the yesterday letter of the New York
correspondent Of the Traveller, speaking of Mr.
Banks's letter, the following observations:
Its spirit OF Cancellation is admirable 1t is,
undoubtedly, the letter If a shrewd politician in
the same way that Stewards speeches are. But
it is a matter Of politics which is in question.
The question Isl what policy will soonest put an
end TO StdpeFys and if what he calls present toll
erateR' Of the system--nut approval of it, nor
emlnivsnee at II, nor league with it's the quick
ell and surest method of eneing il, man need
at be given over TO the budetings Of Satan if he
81 ss that way TO finish &C.
Mr. White further goes on to says
.Geatlemen, compromise this subject as we
nay patch it up as we please, SO long as slavery
Is itself an inherent wickedness, so loug as it
stares indignantly in the face Of republicanlsm
aud freedon, free labor, flee thought, and free
speech, so long as it lifts its impious ffont and
hand, aud bids defiance to the everlasting God Of
Justice, so long will it never be compromised
with in such manner as to give quiet and peace
to these United States. Enthusiastic applause.
Like the sea spoken of in Holy Writ, whose
rolling and dashing waves ever cast up mire and
dirt, thus also will this sea roll and toss and
throw up mre and dit, until the winds aud hur-
ricanes Of Heaven have passed over it, and there.
after, free, fresh breezes shall blow over it, and
the calm bright sea shall reflect Gods heavens,
and His image upon it. Until that time, no
compromise, no act of man, will ever cause this
system 10 be at rest in the United States Great
cheering
Transatng this balderdash out of Republi
canee into plain English, it means that there will
be no peace 10 this land, so long as slavery ex
lists, and until BY some Tremendous convuls,on it
shall have been uprOoted, and the relation be-
tween master and slave shall come to an end in
every part Of the county.
Mr. Rodney French, in endorsing the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Eliot Tor Attorney General, said that
if fugitive slave case came up, he would not act
in the enforcement Of the law. This, OF course,
meant in his official capacity. If this be true,
we have CANDIDATE for the office Of Attorney
General VINO stands pledged beforehand to multi
fy, SO far as 10 him lies, law which the Supreme
Court Of Massachusetts has pronounced consti-
tutonaL
We aie certainly going ahead pretty fast in the
good ship Massachus tits; but we think it is
time for both passengers and crew to ask, which
way does she mead y
The Courier evidently feels very bad.
The best evidence we have yet seen of the gen

ing in this connection of the impolicy of nominal
ting Mr.. Bauks,) il seen in the howl ofdiscontent
which it brings forth from such papers as the Bos-
ton Courier and Post, the Bay State, &C., and
the reasons they give for denouncieg its action,
VIZ its strong anti-slayery and a eyed 'disunon
tone. The PosEsays -

trated, and compact sectional party ex,sts in
NJ issacnusetts with n p. Banks at its head. If
this party is to be judged by its decarations--by
the speeches of its leading Tnen and the terms 4
its deliberate lesoiutions--then sectonalism new
er was never more bold and dangerous. Take
thefsets that candidate has been put in nomi-

favor Of multiplying The tasos of Congress land

Then look also at the object ayowed anew! the
formation of a like compact party for thu 1860
Presidential campaign in all the free States, with
the purpose in view of hostility to the existence

The hIuker journals are really in a sea Of ago
ny, at the thought that political convention in
old Massachusetts, should have the audacty tC
put forth in its platform merely the Fundamental
truths contained in the Declatat on of Independ
ence The sham Democrats of today, and the
bunker allies Of all shades, have become degener
atsd TO that political degradation, that they can
not endure the sight OF platform of principles
modelled upon the ideas Of Thomas Jefferson and
the other fathers Of the republic.
What an astounding crime it is. that excep
tons should be taken. in old Massachusetts, no
only to the extension of slavery but to its Longer
continued existence upon the soil of the Republic
Has slavery come TO be so sacred an institution

nominated upon the noble platform constructed
on Wednesday. if elected, may have sufi

tis purport. But we have the greatest conf
dence that they will, in the MAN, prove faithful tc
the trust reposed in them, and will fairly repre-.
sent the embodied sentiment of the Republican
party Of the State, on the great issue of the day,

The STATE PAINTING The Commission, con-
Sistng Of the Treasurer, Secretary Of State, Au.
ditor and CLERKS Of the two Houses, having the
selection of State printea, decided on Thursday
g give the printing contract to Mr.. White, the
present printer. The successful competitor re-
celves the contract at 40 cents per 1000 ems for
composition for plain work, and so cents for rule
and figure work; and IS cents per token Of $50
sheets for the press-work. Only one bidder pro-
posed l9wer terms than Mr.. White, and this bid
was so low that It was thrown out, in conformitv
with the provision Of the Legislative resolve tba,
she prices paid should be sufficient 10 "piye
