Oi The general aspects u tbs political csiIpa.ga,
there is not much that is pe~ 10 be said. bsyorS
perODs have within fortnight given notice 70 It's
public that they have turned from Gardner % tsnhs
or firm BaLhs TO Gardner, without, however, CIV
ing any veiy satisfactory for la. Changing
Mr. George " Messenger Who presided over the
American Convention which nominated NJ Banks,
has written long letter the substance OF which il
that he does pot approve ct the nomination Of
hlessrs. Warner, White and TAFT on the Bsnks Re-
publicso ticket. He was in the Senate with thes,
three persons and observed that they voted ag~,ss
all American measures, and that oy their Cd
the Fourteen Years Amendment Of The ConStt-
ticn-that inialiible Morrison's Pill which was -
drive all Irish and Dutch humors out Of or polt-
cal sys,em--was dscredited aDd pronounced
bumbuc Fer their action Mr.. Messenger hoS-
Mr.. Banks responsible Mr. Simon Brown has
confirmed the poor opinion which the pubic Were
beginning 10 have OF him, by writing letters
nourcpe his purpose to go for Gardner, the man b.
pronounced liar in lcS5. Remarkable enough,
day or two after Mr.. Browne second Isteer sp'
pesred, he turned up" in the American Comfy
Convention for MiddIesex, held ct Concord, o.
candidate for County Commissioner. He did No;
succeed, however, in getting the nomination, an,
as there are four weeks before the election. be has
ample time to turn again.
A curious illustration Of the chaotic condition Of
our politics took place st the Cesseii!sr Coaven-
tons held in Coscord on the same day with the
County Convention. The frieDds Of Mr.. Banks,
instead of meeting in one body, undertook 70 bold
Republican and an American Convention. Nov,
there are t,,o American parties-ope sdherng 70
Gardner and the other 10 Banks and both Of these
sought TO obtain control Of the Convention. Tho
GsIdnerites got q small msjority. Mr.. W. j.
Esmes Of Maiden preceded. He is the present
Councillor, having been elected on the Fremont
ticket last year. though be was one Of the Commit
tee which notified Mr.. FILLMORE Of his nomihAecn,
and adhered to his fortunes long as IL was profit
able for him so to DO. He was candidate FOR re-
nomination and is understood to be Q man the
never scrupes to obtain votes, and never tekS
awkward questions OF the electors as 20 ev pohti-
cal opinions, If they viii maintain the same pohte
reserve as TO has. II so happened, however, that
Mr.. j. G. Peabody Of Lowell, formerly co-Abo-
litionist Democrat, who used 70 make himself ser
yiceabe in arranging" the " Irish vote" Of that
city, but who has latterly become q convert to
American doctrines, also DESTROYS to be elected
Councillor, and especially anxious to defeAs M.
Eapes, by whom be was himself defeated Ia Con-
vention last year, and Peabody was triumphant ever
Eames. The Republicans, however, took up with
the leaynCs of the GaIduertes, and they nominated
Eames. Wbereupon Esmes having no further in
ducement to 20 for both the candidates for Governor,
came out in flaming speech for Banks. And this
is about fair specimen Of the way cur political
affairs are managed
Thi, nomination Of Councillor is by no means
after Of email consequence, though It has been b.
Titled by all parties within the last two or three
years II the Legislatures of 1855 and 1856 and
the people at the State election 10 1857 bad taken
proper care Of the Council, great deal Of the mis-
Chief which Gardner has done woah have Been
prevented Il il speaking within bounds to say that
three quarters Of Gsrdners appointments 10 oI'e,
from Judges of some Of our respectable Courts 70
Justices Of the Peace, have been corrupay made
made for his own political purposes to to entire
disregard of the public interest. Some Of the sp.
pointme ns to the Superior Court in Boston s con-
spicuous instances of this. The intrigue beswees
the Governor, Mr.. Clifford and Judge Nelson, b.
which Clifford was made Attorney General ASainst
the will Of the people, will not readily be forgotten.
The Council has veto upon oil Executive appoint
ments, ard if the people would elect the right mon,
would exercise great check upon cOrryptOa. II
il, however, the purpose Of men who are chosen b.
the office Of Governor to surround themselves With
facio or unprincipled men whom they can easily
bend to their will. The Republicans Of LAST year,
while allowing Gardner 10 be elected, ought insteYd
of concedDg 10 him almost the entire Council, as
they did, to have chosen men Of their own party.
This matter is likely to DO one Of considerable
sequence next year. as there will probably be more
than one vacancy upon the Judicial Benches. Il 10
getting to be understood that if the people Of the
Northern States would preserve themselves from
Presidential and Judicial dicta extending Slavery
throughout their borders, they must look 10 their
own Courte. With Supreme Court in every Free
State ike that in Wisconsin, it would be Of CON.
paIatiyely small consequence what Hr. BuchAnans
or Judge Taney's opinions were VI the Constitu-
tionsl rights Of the slavebreeders.
