The Anti-Slavery meetings At the han AZ q.
Mercantile Library Association, in Winter g..
were crowded for two days and nights, and va,
more interesting than usual. Theodore p,A.'
commenced the exercises by long discourse on ~.
antrepublican character Of Slavery. Mr.. Pus..
began, as is usual with him, with the origin of n
things, and talked too long about the races; bat N.
auditors were patient, aud finally got well paid d,

criticised in friendly way by the other speaker
but think his remarks left deeper impression ..i

speaker during the sessions Of the Conyenip
Many good speeches We're made. The euloges prl
nOuncsd by Mr.. Garrison and Mr. Phillips upon Ia
late Ellis Gay Loring were especially worthy q

Rapidly approaching unanimity upon certain pOht.

Seine removals have been made recertly by tho
Governor, one of which has aroused stirring coo.
troyersy in the western part of the State. refer

perntendent of the State Aims House at Monson.
The Doctor has been in hot water ever suce last
Winter During the session OF the Legislature 30

and not long ago gave ofense TO member Of the
Executive Council, not knowing who and what ha

though he was supporter of Mr.. Banks last Fall.
learn that Gov. Gardner, during one oi his e1cur-
10 see the Doctor, and finding him disposed 10 90
for Banks, told him it would pot help him any, that
his place was already promised TO DIR. Brewster
the man who has got it--snd that he had better
keep quiet. But the Doctor persisted, probably
not relying implicitly upon GARDENERS powers Of
prophecy. The Governor was always man Of
some shrewdness of observation and perhaps be
was right as to the promise to Brewster If 90
the reasons given for BroOkss removal may be oaly
pretexts Among the minor appointments is that
of William Aspinwall of BroOkne to be Police JUS
tice. Mr.. Aspinwall and Mr. Frederick .. Prince
of Winchester were the Chairman and Secretary Of
the Wig State Committee for several years-for
two or three years, l think, after the Wing party
went out of existence. If anybody inquired for the
Wing party, he was directed to Mr.. Aspinwal's or
Mr.. Princes office, and if he could catch them both
t,gether he saw all there was of il. Mr.. Prince
went 10 the Democrats last Fall. At any rate, /
saw him in the Democratic Convention which nsm'
mated Mr.. Osborn of Danyers to run against Mr..
Gooch, who now represents the With District 70
Congress. 1t may be inferred that Mr.. AspinwaH
has Joined the Republicans, but do not know how
this IT, Possibly he still Processes to be WINS,
and that the Governor, by giving him office, hs
taken one of his steps toward consolidating politics.
1t is seldom that whole party can be concihated
| by giving an Office to one man. One OF the Gov
ernor's new Justices in Worcester County is tha
Buchanan Postmaster of the town he lives in.
Mr.. Walcott's case does not excite much obser.
walton. His knavery is entirely ecl:psed by Law

therefore, fair to suppose that the conclusion which
he Congressional Committee came to ia the correct
one and that he bagged most of the money ntruslel
to him. | presume that he considered the funds
safer in his hands than anywhere else. Many men
have been ruined by too sudden accessions to their
exchequer, and WalcOtt probably thought himself
better able to endure the temptation than the needy
adyenturers who swarm at Washington. If hend
paid six men $4,000 apiece, and four of them ha
been ruined thereby he would have been in so0a
degree responsible SO he followed the prudnl
and philanthropc course. The risk be run Of run
ing himself is generally thought to have been ~;
worth taking into tie account.

The expression no doubt clung to Mr. Websters
