BosroN, August IA, 1857.
The people of the good old Bay
State appear to bc warming up on
politics about these days, preparatory
to the annual State election. There
was rumor on State street, ycstcr-
day, that new daily paper is soon to
be started in this city, to advocate
the reelection of Governor Gardner,
and the State ticket, which may be
nominated by the convention to be
held Oh the 10th day Of September
The sum of $40, 900 has already been
subscribed to sustain the paper du-
ring the campaign.
The National American and Ire
mont Temple Convention will no doubt
nominate Governor Gardner, and prob
ably Lieutcnant-G Governor Bcnchley, for
reelection. A portion Of the other
State officers will be divided between
the Nationals" =" and the "Frcmont
Templars." With union of the two
wings of the American party and all
adhercnts to the conventions, it is
thought that their State ticket will be
elected by at least twelve thousand
plurality.
The knowing ones; who claim to be
in the secret, state that II GGsoyernor
Gardner receives the nomination of
both Conventions, he will positively
accept and stand fire once more for q
reelection.
In the eastern part Of the State, the
Governor is quite popular with the
masses. Iu the northwestern section
he might meet with the loss of few
votes by the opposition, who will no
doubt rally upon the cry of "tnnncl
veto" And the extreme western sec
ton may give His Exccllency hard
run, because he refused to remove
Judge Loring, and would not give aid
to bleeding Kansas.
But the Banks men are very SAN
guinc Of success even against the al
lied forces Of the Gardner Know-Noth-
ings, the administration Democrats
and the old fogy Wings, all of whom
are expected to support Gardner
Misery makes strange bcd-fcllows."
Yesterday afternoon, a gentleman
having business in the Office Of Mr..
Uriah A. Boyden, Civil Engineer, No. 81
joys Building found upon his entrance,
DR.. Bernhard Shultz, (who is in the
employ Of Mr.. Boydcn) lying upon the
floor, nearly senscless, unable to speak,
and having a severe wound on his
temple. DIR. N. b. Shurtleff was i'm
mcdiatcly called, and after a partial
examination of the wound, advised
the immediate removal Of the patient
to the Massachusetts General Hospi-
tai, which act was at once performed.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Shultz was at
tackled with a fainting turn, or sud
den illness of some other nature, and
fell from his seat, striking his temple
upon some projecting object which
produced compression of the brain.
The report that hammer, stained with
blood, was found lying some distance
from Mr.. Shultz, would, without cxpla-
nation, convey the impression that
that instrument was used in producing
the wound, but we arc credibly inform.
cd that the bloody stains found upon
the hammer were nothing more than
few "spattcrings" from the blood which
flowed from the wound inflicted with
out any agency from the hammer. Mr.
Shultz is single man, and from his
quiet dcmeanor was not supposed te
have single enemy.
Probably no city in the Union is sc
noted for its substantial charities as
Boston. Very many Of the charitable
enterprises of the city are set on foot
and carried forward most successfully
by the solid men and solid women-
the real aristocracy-who use thci
wealth for the amelioration of suffer
ing humanity. A noblcr aristocrac,
: than this Of Boston, comprising as i
, does the Bigelows, Lawrcnccs, Apple
] tons. SC, &C., cannot be found in tn
! world. On Wednesday, meeting o
: ladies, friendly to the Home for tn
. Fallen, was held at Rev. Phineas Stowe
4 Church. Joseph Story. Esq, presto
: ed, and committee of ladies wa
4 chosen to prepare and report const
I tuition and list of officers for the fol
e nation Of a Ladies Aid Society," th
II object of which will be to assist, b
