Boston. Let Dogenes take his lantern, and he
won't find as many righteous men as the Destroy
ing Angel required to save Sodom. Why, there
is no Republican party here. A few evenings since
concern met, which was supposed TO be the
Republican Ward and City Convention" A
motion made to issue call for meeting to
choose delegates to the Republican Convention at
Worcester. A motion made to substitute the
word " Peoples for Republican, and it was car

and course of action set forth in the call for State

made to invite them into the Republican Con-

Meantime, the high contracting powers are as
busy as beavers. The talk now is, Gardner is OPP
