Repnbiicau state Convention.

We are happy to learn, from the Boston Irao-
etisr. that the callFfor the proposed Republican
Legislative Convention has been Withdrawn. 1t
struck us, from the first, very inappropriate
move. For many reasons, it would have been Sc
riously inauspicious in its results. 70 base the
imitation of new party upon any action per-
formed by a body of men so imperfect, to say the
least, in their = Republicanism," as the members
of the present Legislature, who to their other
manifest sins are to add that Of prolonging their
session intoc June, with their accompanying
extra expenditure of the peoples money, would
have been, we fear, fatal to our prospects in
tine ensuing State canvass That is no way to
lay the foundation stone of new and successful
party, which we wish the Republican party to be,
when it enters the lists in the fall, in fair and
open contest with the uphol5ers of tyranny and
prescription. ~
Besides, the principal object of the Convention,
as stated in the call. was 10 choose State Cen

the Legislature right to set aside committee
already chosen for one year by the people them
selves. in convention assembled for that purpose,

with that object in view, have the power or right

either individually or as body. wish to confer
with the State Committee as to the proper time
or mode of calling State Convention, or as to
the taking of any preliminary steps for the benefit
tof the organization, Of course it is all proper
enough. But to go SO far as the selection of
new State Committee, or the completion Of any |
plan for the organization of the party, is impoli
tic and suicidal. The responsibility for such steps |
should attach only to regularly called popular

mare, Jewess. 1t will be remembered that
she broke her near fore leg on the race course
in April last, while running for the town

Grabb, under whose care she has completely
recovered. Her condition is excellent, and
the cork foot seems to answer the purpose
admirably.

Miss HILL's BENEFIT.-We learn that Miss
Mary Hill will take benefit at the Theatre on
Thursday evening, when will be presented the
most attractive bill of the whole season. consist
ing Of one OF one of the best Of Sh lkspeares
comedies, in which the leading parts will be sus.
tanned by Miss Hill and Mr. Marshall, with we'll
arranged cast, combining the whole company, an
address to the Firemen of Worcester, written for
the occasion and recited by Miss Hill, and a new
farce, written by lady of Worcester, and now
performed for the first time, in which Miss Hill
appears.
Miss Hill, in the short time she has been here,
has won well deserved popularity. Few female
actors on the stage capable OF sustaining
themselves she has done in the varied parts
in which she appears; few exhibit the same indi-
dations of refinement and taste and in whatever
character she presents hersefs never loses sight
Of her own self respect or oends, by grossness or
indelicacy, either of word or action. With none
but such as she upon the stage, the objections SO
often urged against its influence would soon be
silenced. Presenting such strong claims, we can
not doubt that the friends of the drama will rally
on this occasion and give her real benefit, and no
sham.
