Deser,1aa the shaking ship.

Day by day those who have hitherto supported
Gov. Gardner are deserving him and ralying I'M
der the standard of Banks. The Boston Bee of
yesterday, publishes the letters of Mr. E. w.
Kinks, of Lynn, formerly of Boston, and Mr. B
L. Bachelor, of sutton-bOth Of whom have
hitherto supported Gov Gardner, and were mem
bers of the Convention which met on the 10th
inst, to nominate Gardner for reelection, but
who have both decided to adopt ''he honest
cause" BY supporting Mr.. Banks. Their exam
pie will be initiated by hundreds of others who
have been in doubt as their duty, either as
Americans or Republicans. The reasons which
they give for their course, will commend them
selves to all candid men. Mr. Kinks was former
" editor and proprietor of the american Patriot,
and has always been one of the straightest OF the
straight Americans" He says he is confirmed
in his present position
''By the declaration of his Excellency that
''the present campaign has nothing to do with
national issues; by the assertion OF the Chairman
of the State Central Committee, MI. Cobb, whom
circumstances compel us to believe possesses the
confidence of our present Chief Magistrate to an
extent greater than any other man, that he is
ready or willing to take the National Platform,
and that the principles for which the American
party commended a year since are dead issues by
the. fact that good men and true, whose only o.
fence was to accepta nomination upon the pfln-
eiples of the Springfield platform, were set aside
by the convention to make room for men VINO
stand upon the Louisville platform alone, and by
the silence of its resolutions upon that great crime
against the rights of man, the recent partizan de-
cision of the Supreme Court, and its approval by
the present national executive.
On the other hand, recognize in the recent
speech of Mr.. Banks, at Worcester, well defined
nj yrhf
as American and friend OF free labor, and l
conceive it to be my duty to yield him my hearty
support, and to use my utmost endeavors to Sc
cure the election Of the State ticket presented oy
the Convention holden on the 10Th OF June, being
fully satisfied that il the call for that Convention
was irregular in form that for the Convention
holden ON the 10th instant was none the less so
in substance. Some of the side issues presented
by the State Central Committee in their call, and
by His Excellency in his Dorchester speech,
cannot accept correct, and none Of them can l
adopt as of paramount importance
Another reason for my course is presented IN
the undeniable fact that should the party, repre-
sented in the Convention of the 10th instant sue
coed in the present campaign in this State 1t can
seek fellowship as national party only with the
etfete, beaten, and demoralized remnants of the
Fillmore party, or with the party of the national
administration; an alliance against which revolts
every sentiment OF manhood within me.

Mr.. Batcheler says in his letter =
81 was satisfied with the American doctrines
laid down by Mr.. Banks in his Worcester speech,
"a more able and statesmanlike speech than
which has not been made since the days of Dan
iel Webster) In day after came the Gardner
ConyentoH-(they might just as well have made
their nomination by letter, and saved much ex
pense.) The result of that Convention was the
nomination of Il. j. Gardner for Governor, and
the throwing over the rest of the American tick
