must, however, do Scott the justice to add,
that he never would have called such men COM

them the epithet, ferce' Not but that the
most grave and reverend seignors do make some
noise, upon occasions; but then, as Peter Ounce
says, SIT is nothing but roaring y and they take
good care not to do that too terribly" but, as
Nick Bottom says, they will aggravate their
voice, und roar you an 'twere any nightingale -
And we shall have the tallest specimens of roar
ing, when the straight Republicans u both
branches join in chorus in the
REP PUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
to be held on Wednesday eoeaing, @ the 22d
Instant. Progressive party isn't it? Going
back to the exploded and odous system Of legis-
latiye State caucuses or conventions. The Com
yention is to be composed of /" Republican mem
bers of the Legislature, and of delegates from cit
les and towns not represented by Republicans in
| the Legislature" Now, if the managers of the
| party wanted State Convention, representing
the people, why did they not call one composed of
| delegates fresh from the people, and elected as
delegates, and nothing else Because they did
not dare to appeal to the people! The people are
| ahead Of the leaders, and they knowit and the
| tslow.coaches," who control the machinery, did
| not dare to trust themselves with a convention
elected Immediately after the bred Scott decis-
| ion. Such convention might upset some Of the
nice arrangements for the distribution of offices,
| hereafter.
AS a Republican from the start to the bats end
/ object, FIRST,
| TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVENTION.
Apart from the obvious objection to going back to
the rotten system of acknowledgements and
from an objection growing out of that, to repre-
sentatiyes and senators, on account of their hav-
ing been elected upon other issues, local, perso.
nal senatorial &C., the great objection is, that
nearly all the Republican senators and represent
| 3atives were selected, with view to being sac.
ceptable to the Americans" and, are necessari-
/ y 'hshy, and, therefore, do not fairly represent
| the Republicans Of Massachusetts, at this time.
| object next, to making the matter of Estate
Finance" prominent at this time; however, 1
| don't want to see the great Republican party of
Massachusetts, tagging in the rear of the "Plun-
kett Clubs;" because, believe that, compare
tiUely, the people care very little about this
money matter-they believe, that, if we put the
State government in the hands of earnest honest
Anti-slavery men, they will take care of the
finances; and, because the Republican members
of the Legislature, comprising an undoubted ma
jority of each branch, have lost the golden oppor-
te1aity, to bring their influence, as a party. to
bear upon this question of retrenchment The
next moment after SUMNER was elected, most
searching investigation, into the proaigate ex-
irayagance of Gardner's three years, should have
been ordered and carried through. Instead of
that, when question which opened the matter
most fayOrably, the Haskell matter, with
GARDENERS message, relating thereto, the Repub-
leans scattered, their acknowledged leader cat
that time,) rated, and Gardner whipped the
House into silence. have no faith that these
same gentlemen will be any brayer, in their capa.
cityof delegates, than they have been as senators
and representatives. object. again, to this CON
