Letter from Hon. Charles Summer, en-
dOrsfmg MFR. Banks.

dOrsfns Mr. Baukss
We publish, with great pleasure, this
morning, the following extract from letter
received by resident Of Cambridge, on
Thursday last, from Senator Summer, which
WILDE read with the greatest interest by the
friends both of Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. Banks.
As viii be seen, Mr.. Summer heartily en-
dorses Mr.. Banks for the post of Governor.
Indeed, how could he consistently have done
otherwise, in considering the overshadowing
issues as stake in the contest 1t is well
known that these two distinguished gentle.
men have long been warm personal as we'll
as political friends. Let the people of Massa-
chusetts peruse the following words of their
distinguished and honored Senator, who is
watching with anxiety and earnestness the
struggle now pending, in this State, between
the friends of freedom, united in solid pha-
lanx at the polls, under the lead of Nathaniel
P. Banks, and the hunkers of all shades and
stripes under Gardner and Beach. Mr.. Sum
ner says to u.s.
You are now in the midst of a State cam
yass that involves matters of deepest moment
to ] er citizens, and the result of which viii
be felt far beyond the limits Of our own Com
monwealth. The struggle is but another re-
neloat Of the posoer of slavery against the claims
aud the hopes of FREEDOM, struggle which
SO far as old Massachusetts is concerned, can
result only, l trust, in another triumph upon
her part.
Mr.. Banks has nobly done his share in the
great work Of reformation, in which, at heart,
A.. 4 Al
trying positions in which circumstances have
hitherto placed him, he has come out of the
ordeal nnscathed, ever the constant and truth
full friend Of Freedom for the American con-
dnent.'
He has my earnest wishes, and 1 only re-
greet that shall not be able, fear, to return
TO America in season to give him my vote,
which l should most cordially do, l assure
you, could | be at home on the day of cleo
tion. Success Is within your reach, however,
] do not doubt, and no man in your midst is
more deserving the position now claimed for
Mr. Banks, than the post of Chief Executive
of time-honored old Massachusetts,.
l shall rsturn to the United States during the
month Of November"
Let Il DO remembered that the ueto Of Cor.
Gardner, last Winter, upon the bill relating
10 To Hoosac T,sanel, did not saoe The State
Tysasary one dollar! The biz did not pro-
pose any neU loan of The credit Of the State,
bit on he contrary Il did propose 10 reduce,
By he sum Of $4,000, the amount Of each
payment which The State is zolo bound 10 make,
rhsn he terms of the charter are conplied Nth.

is no other real reason.
