pose. however that the popular impression which
prevails in some quarters that the town of Concord
i entitled by the Constitution or statute 10 have
candidate every year on some one of the State
tickets, did something to turn the attention of the
Convention toward Mr. Fay. A better man could
not be found in that paradise of philosophers and
Ofice-hodes, for the place. MIR. Pierce is a
busiDess man on South Market street. and s perhaps
more than any other man in the State, responsible
for the Straight" movement. DR.. Swan have
already told YOU about. He declined the nomna-
tiCn but his remOnstrances were smOthered in per-
sopal appeals, and he will make no further
opposition. The other business of the Convention
consisted of the adoption of an address and resolu
tons aud the election Ofa State Committee, ofwhich
Mr.. Pierce is Chairman. The address sets
out with the declaration that the Conyen-
ton is held for the purpose of reestablishing a
party which has been betrayed by its pretended
friends. II goes on to say that the Know Nothing
movement is responsible for the defeat Of Fremont,
and that the blame must be equally divided between
the Fillmore and Fremont Americans, the latter
having repeied many persons Of foreign birth in the
West and North West. 1t further maintains that

ambitious local politicians who favored the move
ment, and that similar experiment must fail again,
and always. Cox Fremont, it is said, gave no
countenance to it, and his position is contrasted with
that of Mr.. Banks. Passing from this point, the
Addres, takes up the conduct of the Republican
supporters of Mr.. Banks, and contends that they
have broken the pledge which they gave at their
State Convention, BY entering into bargain with
Americans, and adopting Messrs. Trask and Tenny,
as well as by supporting Mr.. Banks himself, who, it
is declared is not Republican, but holds policy
contrary to that which was represented in the Ere
mont movement last year. His policy, it is be-
leved, cannot and ought not to succeed. No good
can come of it in National affairs, and upon State
matters, inyOly ng the Anti-Slavery question, such
as Judge Lorng's removal and the Personal Liberty
law, it is said that Mr. Banks is uncOmmitted. In
conclusion, the Address says that the Straight Re-
publican movement is in harmony with the Republl-
can movement of all the States in which the cause
is hOurishing while in those States in which it is
feeble the policy Of temporlzing with Know-Nothing-
ism is pursued.
Speeches were made by Charles G. Davis of Ply
mouth, +. w. Bird of Walpole, and others. let
ter was received from Herman kreissman, leading
German Republican of Chicago, approving of the
movement.
The meeting called at Faneuil Hall on Thursday
evening to hear Mr.. Banks discuss the financial
topics of the day, was very large and successful
one. The hall was crowded to the utmost, and Mr..
Banks and his speech were received with great ap-
pause. l suppose you have received sketch of
the speech by telegraph.
is regarded as a failure. The preparations do not
seem to have been well made. Mr. Hilard was the
only speaker Of any consequence. He made some
very good hits the most effective part of his speech
beng that in which be examined Mr. Banks post
ton upon the HoOsick Tunnel Mr. Hilard always
says something pretty at the beginning and close OF
his speeches. In this case, he wound up with the
following Does it become our State to sit apart,
Z" suky and pOuting, while her sisters are dane
ing about the flagstaff of the Union, simply
" because she does not like the tune which
L" the fiddler is playing shall she not
rather come forward with a smile on her face,
"aBd taking her sisters by the hand, lend to that
fair ciIcet the grace of her form and the ghtness
"of her step" 1t does not to me that this is
"step to the music of the Union" They both,
however mean the same thing, i. e., Hunkerlsm
and eternal Slavery. The wonder is that if Mr..
Hillard desires Massachusetts to join the fair cif-
cet of Border. Rufan States he does not advise his
friends to vote for f.. ID. Beach, who represents
that party in its purity Gardner still pretends, and
his organ, The Trareier, every day pretends for
him. that he is an Anti i-Slavery man. The coy re-
luctant, amorous delay of such men as Mr. Hilard,
in protracting the time for the final union which
they must make with the Black Democracy, Is not
creditable to them.
Mr.. Winthrop sent letter to the meeting, in
which he said that be had not yet voted for Gardner
but should do so this year. He gave as his reasons
for refusing to support Mr.. Banks that he was the
candidate of /" a sectional party" aud that he had
denounced the Supreme Court He also alluded to
the Kansas Resolves and some other matters. His
letter was the meet Hunkerish production that he
has ever yet written The fail of WebsterisIn has
finally threshed out Of him every semblance OF
sympathy with the North 10 its great struggle.
A. H. Bullock OF Worcester also sent letter ex-
pressing his satisfaction with Gardner's public acts.
He did not specify particularly the acts which met
his appreciation; but presume the appointment OF
A. H. Bullock to the Office of judge of Insolvency
was one of them. GILBERT.
