HON, ELI THAIER at HOME.

To re Editor Of The n. \. Tribune
SIR: Your Boston correspondent, in his letter pub
lshed in your paper of the 9th inst, alludng to El
Thayer says:
"Mr Thayer. Popular soversn'y speeches have GOT him

Believing that the above is calculated to give an er-
roneous impression of Mr.. Thsyers position, I beg
leave to call attention to the referred to, and
also the subsequent action Of the District Convention

purpose of choosing delegates to the District Conven-
tion whnh convicted the Thursday following also, to
listen to address from Eli Thayer to lis constituents
in Worcester Afer transacting the frs-named busi-
ness, p. Emory Aldrich introduced and moved the
adoption of series of resolves taken in part from the
Philadelphia Republican platform and the platforms of
the Republican party in New-iork and Massachu-
setts The principal point IN the resolves was dec
araton Of the duty of Congress to prohibit Slavery in
all the Territories and pedgng ourselves, kepub-
cans, to the prohbitory policy The resolves were
laid upon the table until after the address Of Mr..
Thayer.
Amid unbounded enthusiasm our Representative
was introduced 10 his audience before whom he delly-
cred an able and eloquent address.
1t is only necessary for me- in this connection, to
say that Mr.. Thaye- expressed his determination to
remain and act with the Republican party. lie could

organizations Heasserted the powers of Congress to
prohibit Slavery in The Territories, bat the friends of
Freedom could not expect TO the exercise of
tlat power until the lapse Of years. Meanwhile Ter
riories and continually presenting themselves
for organization and government.
The Republican Members Of Congress, while unable
to secure Intervention Tor Freedom compelled to
accept the alternative OF intervention for Slavery,
no Intervention whatever. They have not hcsitated
To choose the latter, which essentially done in
The Crittenden Montgomery bill, which received
al .he Republican votes and enough from the anti
Lecompton Democrats end Americans 10 pass the
House. No Republican constituency has rebuked its
Representative for his actien in that instance.
Moreover, circumstance may arise in which Con.
gress, hsgng exercised It's powers Of prohibition the
NOfh under the control Of delsive feeling Of secu-
rity, nay allow Territory 70 become occupied by
sucn proportion OF Pro Slavery settlers, that when
admitted State, IL shall exercise ts constitutional
right to legolize the "Peculias Institution" Thus,
relying nday upon the powers of prohibition, may
peril the ealse Of Freedom by Indifference and ne
glect
He dwell at leneth upon the absolute inability Of the
South to compete with the North in emigration, when
the latter s stimulated TO activity BIZ a sense Of its
resp possibility Ie decared-enf maintained by argu
ment-that il was utterly Impossible to form another
Slave State without the PrOSayery Intervention Of
the Federal Government; hence, to Fecure genuine /

National Territory. Moreover If the Republican \
party adopted the non.intervention policy, II would
triumph in Congress aud early secure all
the Offices Of the Federal Government Therefore, To
secure an early and complete triumph OF Freedom
the great purpose Of the Republican pary-hc ree0m-
nended tue adoption Of the nor-inervention policy.
II such ere the ''most obnoxious doctrines of the
sham Democracy the citizens Ot Worcester have not
heretofore understood them. We had supposed that
the Democratic party denied Congress the power 10
prohibit Slavery in the Territories; aud, while 1t
preached n0H-ineryeEton, practced the most infa-
nous Pro- slavery interyentions.
After the conclusion of Mr.. Thayers address,
enghy discussion ensued on the resolves, which, with
great unanimity were finally laid on the table and
he meeting adjourned TO Wednesday evening follow

At the Wednesday evening meeting the following
esolYes were presented, discussed, aud, without
nuch opposition, adopted.
