WORCESTER Sept T. 1853
The Republican State Convention, which met
here to-day, was a large and enthusiastic gather
ing. Two hundred and twenty-six towns were
represented, being all in the State except about
half dozen. The number of delegates chosen
was l,236, and nearly the whole number appeared
| TO be present. The beautiful hall built by the me-
chancs of Worcester, which is the largest, with
one or two exceptions in the State, was well filled,
the galleries being reserved for spectators. John
A. Andrew, esq., of Boston, presided, and the array
of Weep residents and Secretaries was more than
ordinarily imposing. Mr.. Andrew presided with
dignity and success, though the business is new to
him. / think this gentleman possesses now more
of the confidence and good will of the distinctive
Anti-Slayery men of the Republican party than any
other man except Senators Sumner and Wilson.
And he is personally very popular, and puts him
self upon instant good terms with all men whom
he meets
Gov. Banks was nominated By reclamation early
in the day, upon motion of the Hon. John Il. Good
rich of Berkshire County. Mr.. Goodrich was him
self competitor for the nomination last year, and
for a considerable time after the nomination
made he withheld from II his support giving his
reasons for hesitatlng in letter eight or ten
columns in length, which he afterward trium-
phantly cOnfited and answered in letter not one
fourth part as lOng-a fact which shows the i'm
mense superiority truth always has error.
There was no opposition 10 Mr.. Banks's nomna-
ton, and think 1t probable If ballot had been
permitted there would not have been more than a
score of dssenters. There was the like unanlmity
in the nomination of the other gentlemen who are
az present associated with Gov. Banks in the State
Government, so the Republican ticket for lc5S is
made up as follows:
For GcrerEcr..-... .............N p. BANKS

None Of these gentlemen have served more than
one yesr except Mr.. Tenney, who was Treasurer
for two years during Gov. Gardner's reign.
