sjust now little feverish ahe advent of
U nited States Senator, with eleven Congressman
at his heels ought to be enough to set the polti-
cal world agog, With their advent, we very nat
uraily expect to see adevelopment of the policy
of the State for the year which is next to come
We expect to be informed, as soon as is conyeni-
ent, who these magnates have decided to appoint
to the gubernatoral chan. We want to know
whether the Republican State Committee did the
right thing, when they published the letter of Mr.
Pierce of Chicago, and sent it through the land
with their sanction, or whether, on the other
hand, they must take the back track, leave the
philadelphia Platform to the 9demnition bow
vows, and mount the rcketty pile of rotten
shingles, which the Hinduo Sanhedrim stacked
up few months since, at Springfield.
II the former course is to be pursued, brother
Goodrich should congratulate himself on having
made lucky hit but if the party, or its COM
mite rather, has been doing mischief, why, then
there is very considerable quantity of matter

Mr. Garrison and Mr.. Banks in the field, super

gest, that for the sake Of economy and effeetthey
had better consolidate their forces, and unite

pocket edition Of the Constitution and the other

Independence We are to have
A CONVENTION
next week, you know, at the State House. The
proposition is sensible one enough, but of course
meets with opposition. 1t will do no harm to
swear anew our allegiance to the Republican
compact, and to encourage the members Of the
Legislature, who have had back bone enough to
record themselves as members of the Republican
party, aud no other. The convention will take
it, resolve to stand by the party creed--that the
decision OF the Supreme Court in the bred Scott
case is piece of rascality, unsurpassed ia the
world calendar Of vilainies, and that the State
government is as rotten as the corpse of 'sSau :"
or the platform which he strobe. Having done
THIS, the convention will, Of course, proceed to
make its politics a little practical BY taking
measures to reorganizesor rather to organize, a
party which shall support its principles, and, to

mittee. This, indeed, is one of the principal OBJ
Jects OF the convention. There are those who
oppose it--sundry members of Congress among
the number, believe, but their opposition arises
rather, fancy, from the fact that they have not
yet had time to make up list Of gentlemen.

Theoretically, the project of appointing State
COMMITTEE, or otherwise organizing party, by
Legislative convention, is bad l allow, but in The
present instance, 1t IS practically necessity
ne Republican party of last year was merged IN
another, or rather was murdered by the acco,1ch.
ers at its birth. The present Legislature has,
from the necessity Of the case, brought into be-
ing party, which, while it acknowledges fealty |
70 the faith plighted at Philadelphia, has some
thing TO say of politics at home, and regards the
equality of man as sacred in Massachusetts as on
the Western border. A new party, it must be
organized as promptly as well as effectively, as is
possible, and no fine spun theory should be all
lowed to prevent it. l apprehend that the poll
ties OF the State may we'll be settled by State
House Convention, as BY an informal fdon' nrint
