TIE H&est Hodge OF fBe 0aFHAeEAtess
In connection with the call forsthe American
State Convention on the 10th inst, to which we
have previously alluded, is the following very
funny document, which purpOrts to emanate from
the headquarters of the American party, May
2Sth. 1857. and which appears to have been
thrown out at the same time with the regular call
of the State Convention, with the same object in
view with which the msckerel fishermen on our
coast throw overheard ground menhaden, viz !:
10 toll the fish and keep them within hooking dis
tance Of the boats. We presume that none but
the 6shiest of the ishy Republicans can be caught
with this bait We think we see the Republican
party Of Massachusetts,, after the dose it had last
year, preparing to march again under the banner
of :. sMER1cANIsM AND FREEDOM"
There is one thing, however, in the document
that pleases us exceedingly, and that is the re.
quest of Moses G. Cobb and his associates, that
all persons standing upon the Springfield plat
form are requested to take no part in the Repub-
lican Convention. Trusting that that advice may
be reliaiously respected, we submit the precious
document 10 our readers, without farther com.
ment at this time -

The DEATH UPON THE RAILROAD The jury
of inquest, held by Coroner Day, over the remains
of Hollis Haywood, who was run over by the Sun
day night mail train of the 3Ist ult,, the
Millbury crossing, on the Boston and Worcester
Railroad concluded their investigations and re-
ported yesterday forenoon.
The only additional particulars concerning the
manner of his death, are those furnished by Frank
Farrell, who lives in Grafton, three-quarters of
mile from the station of the Millbury branch
He testified that at eight o'clock of that evening
he saw man lying between the rails on the track
of the Boston road this side of the ledge, between
the ledge and cottage. Farrell spoke to him, but
he did not answer. Farrell went away few
rods, and turned back to see what he would do
The man got up, put on his hat and went away.
That was the last the witness saw of him. He
thought him drunk.
The place where the deceased was picked mp
was in the lower ledge, about half mile West of
the station house of Millbury branch, The train
went about thirty forty rods after passing over
him. The engineer and fireman noticed by the
motion of the engine that something was the mat
ter and put back. The body was found lying be-
tween the rails, with one foot severed from the
leg, and the whole body and head awfully man
gled.
The deceased had been for a great while in the
employ of the road as track repairer, but dis
charged sometime SINCE on account of his intem-
perate habits. He was unmarried, and had led
vagrant and dissolute life for considerable peri
cd, having slept over night in the station house
of the Millbury branch for three or four weeks,
The jury gave a verdict that the deceased came
to his death, as before related without careless
ness or neglect on the part of the conductor or
engineer of the road.

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT OF THE BosToN
AND WORCESTER MISUNDERSTANDING other
acts passed by the Legislature at its late SEES
sion, was one authorizing change of location
: of the line of the Boston and Worcester
RAILROAD, between the towns of Brighton and
Newton, by which straight track will re-
place the present singularly crooked route
between these two places The new line
will probably, after leaving the Arsenal
bridge, cross the marsh at the side of Charles
River, there being plenty of gravel at both
ends of the proposed alteration to grade the
new piece of road. The sharp curves of the
present line of road must be destructive to
machinery, and there is always danger of col
lissions, which have only been avoided here
tolore by the use of extreme care on the part
of those employed upon the road The new
route will probably be somewhat shorter, and
will allow Of increased apeed, with less dan
ger of accident. There is one sother place
where the road should be stsD.sfghtened, and
thar is between West Newton and Needham,
an improvement which would shorten the
route in the neighborhood of mile.-BoSton
Traveller.

THE NATIVE POTATO IN TExAs.-A letter to
the National Agricultural Bureau at Wash
ington, from Capt Larkin Smith, at Fort
Davis, Texas accompanies specimens of what
are supposed to be native potatoes, found
near there, which may prove of great useful
ness in reinvigorating that important crop.
The letter says:-
"They We're certainly growing in a wild
state, and are found in several places on the
Limpia and elsewhere, in the narrow valleys
of the Sierra Diabolo. These grow ina grav-
ely soil, with a mixture of rich loan, the
gravel greatly prevailing, as if washed upon
the loamy soil. There are great number of
mole and rat holes in the locality. Perhaps
the gravel protected the potato from them

again. And it has positive information that
aSoutherner is now holding his slave at Still

decision he de6es the authorities to interfere.
He intends to remain in the territory, and
thus to render slavery permanent institu-
ton.

GOVERNOR WALKER AND SENATOR WILL
SON IN KANzAs.-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writing from Quin-
daro on the oath ult., says =
"The stiffness of the Sabbath evening was
broken by the firing of a cannon on the river.
The cause suggested itself Immediately, and
by the time the boat arrived at the landing,
large crowd had collected. A band of music
was on the steamer, and every one of them
piped as loud as possible to drown the din of
the machinery and hustle OF the crowd,
Gov. Robinson was conducted to the upper
deck, and there introduced to Gov. Walker.
A few other citizens of Quindaro were also
introduced The crowd on shore gave three
cheers, and called for some remarks from the
new official He excused himself from speak
ing, merely remarking that he was glad that
peace prevailed in our borders, that he would
soon lay before the people of kanzas an adj
dress exhibiting his policy, and that he hoped
that hanzas would soon become State, with
such institutions as the majority of her resi-
dent citizens would choose to adopt. He then
retired to the cabin.
Mr.. Walker informed me that he had pre-
pared lengthy address, much longer than
Stanton sswas; that he has discussed at length
all the affairs of Kanzas, including the slavery
question, and that he has spoken frankly upon
SuoJSOly 50 that IneTG Sinai uS 1lu SlOutiu
for charging him with non. committalism,
whatever may be thought in regard to his
opinions. He expects to go to Lecompton
Immediately. He said that Stanton was anx-
ious to see him.
There can be little doubt of Stanton's de-
sire to be delivered from the Governorship as
soon as possible, for the position he assumed
has rendered the duties of that office to him
not little difficult. The free State men are
desirous to have peace but they vince under
everything like arrogant dictation.
Senator Wilson came up on the same boat
with Mr.. Walker. He landed at Quindaro,
and will go back into the Territory. No COM
munity could be more highly gratiied than
our citizens here seem to be by Mr.. Wilson's
arrival. Every citizen here is free State man,
and every free State man admires the Senator
regards him as a defender of the rights of
the hbertyloving citizens of Kauzas.
