Mr.. Banks's nomination one ''not fit to be made,'
| with other expressions of coordinate nature
against supporting him, the huge canes of certain
| distinguished functonaries in the Democratic
and Gardner organizations in this city, who occu-
| pied front and very conspicuous seats the
| platform, were discovered to be pounding with
great force and vgor upon the floor thus man
uiacturing especial thunder" for our very
"straight" friends, SO few in number, who are too
conscientious to vote for Mr. Banks, but at the
same time found counting the favor Of and
acting in concert with, border rufians and Know
| Nothings of the most ultra die, in their move
| ments to defeat the regularly nominated candi
date of the Republican party of the State for
| Governor.
When Mr.. Bynner had concluded, on motion
of Adm Thayer, Esq, committee of three, con-
ssting of Adm Thayer, E G. Watkins, and S. H.

tion. While this committee were out, doing their
utmost to find the names of ten Republicans in
this city opposed to the election of Mr. Banks
Mr.. D. 4. Goddard was called for, and made
speech, at some length in criticism of MIR.
Banks's position.
The committee reported the following names,
who were voted to constitute the delegation to
Boston Edwin Bynner, S. V. Stone, Charles
V. Carpenter, Adm Thayer, S. H. Benson, D. A.
Goddard, VIM. B. Brown, VIM S Davis Geo.
B. Coleman, E. H. Simmons Mr. Brown de.
clined serving, and the delegation were authoriz-
ed to fill vacancies. 1t is understood that some
of the above list are indisposed to take any ac-
ton against the election of Mr.. Banks, under the
circumstances.
The following resolutions, offered by Mr..
Stone, were adopted =
ResolUed, That as Republicans, we adhere with IN
waveriug fidelity to the principles of the Philadelphia
PatfOrm that recognize thsm the only test CT DO.
cal fellowship, and that support no man for public
Office, who does not heartily, unequvocay and in good
faith subscribe to these principles, and acknowledge
them to be the paramount object of political action
ResolUed, That real permanent triumph can ev-
er be achieved over the Slave PoEer except by distinct
and united party throughout the Union based upon pure
Republican principles and that all attempts to organize
the free sentiment Of the Nation upon any other basis
will result in signal and disastrous failures.
ResOiUed That the Republican Party formed at Phla
depha, which rallied in the last pagn under the gal
ant FRBMosT and carried majority of the Northern
States was partywhich should and unitethe SEN
tment OF the country and that have confidence in
the integrity or sagacity Of any Antsavery politician
who does not place hmsefin full sympathy and commun
ion with that Party.
RESOLVED, That the Hon. Nathaniel P. Banks-baying
failed to redeem the pledges given in his behalf to the
Republican State Convention for the present year where
by his acceptance of the Philadelphia Platform with the
Resolutions of that Convention annexed was distinctly
promised and having fully accepted the nomination of
another party based upon principles antagonisicto those
Of the Republican Psrty-cannot be fairly regarded as
the nome Of that Convention and is therefore not ent
| tied to the support of Republican votes.
ResotUed, That the declared opinions of Mr. Banks in
relation to the Naturalization Laws not those of the
Republican Party directly and positively hostile
hat VS. haIiay
"a party, which, beginning in seeresy ntereres with re-
igous belief, and POUNDS discrimination on the acct
| dent of birth, is not the party for u.s."
ResoLOed That the following extact from that portion
OF the speech Of Hon Henry Wilson, which he did not
pronounce at the late Republican Convention held in this
city embodes ideas Of true Repubcanis to the sup
port of which pledge earnest and undivided eff
FORTS and that in view of the object for which the speech
was written we are not surprised that its author RETAINED
from delivering lt-in person, and respectfully recon-
mend to him careful comparison of these views with
those of the nominee to whom he has pledged his sup
| port
"The earnest young of Massaohusetts-of the
Northshoud cultivate profound reverence for human
iyor its sacred and naenabe rights; hate loathe and
abhor Slavery in every lom; resolve that what
ever and however they may be summoned to act their
voices shall be FOR FRBED0M EyERYwHEREFoR SLAVERY
NOWHERE that in their States every man. no mat
ter TO what race he may claim kindredno matter what
Dood may course through his VEINS shall stand before the
laws the equal and the peer Of most favored sons of
men; that over himpoor, ignorant and rendess though
and humane laws"
Resolued, That the shameless corruption and profga
y nov pracsed by so many Of the leading politicians Of
massachusetts, justly eXcites the alarm well disgust
Of every honest man: and that it is the duty of a-in
whose sight the fair fame of the Old Bay State ia prec
ious, SO to exercise their political privilege, to
her posts OF honor and trust from the invasion of those
speculative traders in her pocs-With whom principe
is secondary to interest
RESOLVED, That soemnly pledge ourselves to labor
henceforh earnestly and the extent of our
abilityfor the advancement of pure Republican prnci
Pies and none other, in all matters connected with State
er National Pocy trusting thereby to restore to the pol
lcs OF the commonwealth, that honesty which in past
time distinguished the administration Of her affairs and
once more to place her honoIaby and probably in the
van Of the proud line of free Republican States.
Rev. I. W. Higginson being present, was call
ed upon, and spoke at some length in his pecu-
liar vein, making much the best speech of the
evening, although many of his remarks were
very unfair towards Mr.. Banks. He acknowl-
edged the character of the meeting, as composed
principally of Democrats and Gardner men,
drawn there to crafty their feelings of opposition
to Mr.. Banks. He paid the Democratic side of his
audience handsome compliment. He said that
there could be but two parties, pro-slavery and
an anti-slavery party, the Democratic party,
| (Which is sold out to slavery and the devil) and
the Garrisonian abolitionists,-thus entirely ig.
noring the Republicans, Americans, and Gard.
nerites. Said Mr. Higginson, 81 like nan

Democrats pocketed and endorsed this conapls.

timent with the loudest thumps upon the floor
Mr. Higginson then added-"My Democratic
friends applaud that sentiment" To this there
was an additional response.
Mr.. Thayer, the principal getter up and origi
nator Of the meeting, was the last speaker
While he was speaking the audience numbered
about sixty-fye. After Mr.. Thayer had conclu

the support Of Mr.. Banks by the Republicans il

the Republican cause at the West, the meetin,
adjourned.
On no one question taken during the evening
were there more than three or four votes mani
Tested, showing that the number of persons pres

meeting was very small, less perhaps than ten.
