HEADING Orr. THE American party OF
Massachusetts is getting to the end Gifts tether,
very fast. Despairing of any success in the bold
game that was played by the leaders last Fall, a
new system of tactics was adopted at a caucus OF
the sachems, held in Boston on Friday night of
last week, and it was decided to call State con
vention of the American party on the 10th Of
June, to nominate State officers. Simultaneous
ly with the issue of this announcement the Bos-
ton Bee nominstes N. p Banks for Governor,
upon the Springfield platform, subject to the de-,
cision Of the American Convention. We believe
that before this nomination Of the Bee, Mr.. Banks
stood some chance Of receiving the gubernatorial
nomination at the Republican Convention, but
nothing could be so damaging to that gentlemans
prospects for entering upon the duties of that Of
fee, as to be put forward as candidate by the
defunct and rotten organization thathas held the
power Of the State for the last three years.
If Mr.. Banks is to be nominated by the Re-
publicans at their State Convention, he will be
required to come with clean hands and clean feet,
squGrety upon the Republican platform, purged
from the corruption and nastiness in which he
walOwed, with the leading Know Nothings, SO
lovingly, last Fall The Republicans are sick
and disguised with the ground and lofty tumbling
of the political hucksters who betrayed the Re-
publican party last year, and cursed the State
with another term of GaIdnerism and with the
results of that accursed trickery before them, as
they now stand, they will be very careful how
they take up again with the advice of the artful
dodgers, who attend two conventions of different
parties in one day, and who have humbugged and
deceived them once too often.

The Great Railroad Fxcursiou,

CHILLIcoTHE, May 3,-The excursionists ar
rlved here at about ten o'clock, having travelled
here 10y the Parkersburgh and Marietta Railroad.
Inc run to Parkersburgh one hundred and four
miles, was made in four hours and twenty min
utes, including stoppages. They were conveyed
70 Marietta in the steamboats, Albemarle and
John Buck, which were dashed together, the
guests dancing during the trip for eight miles,
! ne reception at Marietta was signazed by the
hring OF cannon and the presence of large con
course OF citizens. Gov. Chase OF Ohio delivered
an eloquent address, welcoming to Ohio Gen.
Sass, the representatives OF the Baltimore and
ONO Railroad Company, and Others. Gen. Cass
responded in beautiful style, saying that fifty
nine years since he had landed poor boy within
few yards where he stood, and the recolIections
OIL that time and the changes which have occur
req since were empowering. He ventured the
prediction thatfrom the past history of the Uni
TED states, persons now living would see its pop.
nlatlon augmented to a hundred million. Ma
thanel Cox responded to the address on the part
OF Maryland, Hon. Fayette McMullen on the part
OF Virginia, and Thomas Swan on the part of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The
guests started for this city in five trains over the
Marietta road at three o'clock. The trip was not
very satisfactory, in consequence of the ineom-
plete condition of portion of the road, rendering
rapid travelling impossible. The reception here
was very enthusiastic. A procession of military
companies, the guests, and the citizens, marched
to Masonic Hall.

THE WAvERLY NOVELS Household Edition.
We have received from Ticknor & Fields, the
Boston publishers ofthe new and elegant edition
of the Waverly Novels, Rob Roy, in two volumes,
which is the fourth of the series. We can add
nothing to what we have already said of the ar
tistic beauty of this fine edition of the writings of
Sir Walter Scott-whils anything we have said
or might say of their literary merits would be like
an attempt to add to the value of gold, BY prais-
ing it. The Waverly Novels have been read more
perhaps than any writings of fiction ever publish
ed, and they are none the less popular with the
present generation than the past. As long as
the English language is spoken, the characters Of
the Wayerly romances will be as familiar in our
mouths as household words, and whoever would
store his library with the most brilliant gems Of
British literature, should be sure never to omit
from his collection this beautiful edition which
the good taste and enterprise of the Boston pub
fishing house of Ticknor & Fie Ids has put with
in the reach of their countrymen, at price with

OREGON The Territorial Legislature Of
Oregon has been organized with Republicans
at the head of all its departments. An effort
will be made to insert slavery clause in the
Constitution, or rather to keep clause pro-
hibiting it out but it is said the Free State
men are in the majority, and are resolved to
have free State or none. The Democrats
held convention there lately at which it
was resolved that Democrats might freely
write or speak their sentiments on the subject
of slavery, without impairing their standing
with the party provided they did not advo-
cate Black Republicanism or Aboitionism

II is not certain that the sudden American pro-
snunciaRento for Mr.. Banks for Governor will be
followed up by convention SO early as the 10th,
as was at first determined upon. The Republl-
cans may yet have the opportunity, if they
choose, to formally bring Mi. Banks out first;
though, after all, that amounts to little-for, if
the public mind generally settles down in his IA
vor, as it now seems likely to do it makes no diff
ference which convention first dominates him, in
the present chaotic condition of parties and poll
tics in Massachusetts The general disposition
to nominate Mr., Banks seems to come from the
conviction that he, better than any other man,
can bring order cut OF the present disorder in our
local politics, and harmoniZe elements which do
not differ upon any practical essential issues.
II is natural therefore, that the movement should
be opposed by those who have thriven by the d.
viaed and fractional condition of our local poll.
tics for the past two years.
The above truly Pecksnifian paragraphs from
the Boston Traveller Of yesterday morning. 1t
is very evident either that the writer is not so
well posted up, as to the movements and designs
of the leaders of the American party, as lie ought
to be, or else that he is in leagne with the Know
Nothing schemes 10 pull wool over the eyes Of the
masses of the Republican party. We have not
the slightest doubt that the American Convention
will be held on the 10Th, that Mr.. Banks will be
nominated Tor Governor on the springfield plat
form, and that then an effort will be made to cram
him down the throats of the Republican Conven
tion, with the Springfield platform besides Mel
ther have we any doubt that that Jesuitical sheet
the Trapelley, will do all that it can do to pro
mote another corrupt alliance between the deaf
carcass of Know Nothingism and the Republi
cans Of Massachusetts, Still, our faith is strone
in the people, especially in the honest masses o
the Republican party, and We cannot doubt thai
at the convention to be held here on the Oath
they viii do as body-as the representatives o
the whole State, just what the Republicans o.
old Worcester County did last year-repudiatt
the bargaining corruptionists, and put complete
extinguisher upon the sputtering embers of the
dark lantern candle.
If Mr.. Banks is Republican, let him say SO
ard take his chance in the Republican Conven
tion; if he is not Republican, he may as vel
understand now, as we'll as Learnt hereafter, tina
the Republicans in this part Of the State do no
mean to be humbugged again with hybrid candi
dates, crocodile tears, or bogus professions.
