To The Editor of the SIM .

To the Editor Of the Spy:
SiT-l desire, through the medium of your pa
per, to say to my fellow citizens of the County of
Worcester, that l do not feel inclined to compete
with J. J. Piper ior the office of Register of Pro.
bate and Insolvency, at the coming election.
He claims the Office as the reward for services
rendered in aid of N. P. Banks, and suppose
the managers of the Republican party have pro.
missed he should have it.
AS do not belong to that party, l must be
laid upon the shelf 1.-The party" says the
Transcript, :" is now 10 its infancy" l predict
that it will not die Of old age
But believe that this part OF the party pro-
gramme will not be carried out; that the people
have too deep an interest in the matter to con-
sent to any such arrangement, whatever their
party caucuses and conventions may do.
They want man in the Office who is qualified
to do its duties and such an one they will find
in him. who has been my assistant the last six
teen years.
need not speak Of his qualifications to those
who have done business in the Probate Office
during that time. His name is before the peo.
pie, and l take pleasure in recommending him
as man we'll qualified for the office, familiar
with the business Of both coyrts, and quick to do
it. feel it my duty, in justice to him and to
the public, to say thus much.

New YoRK.-Considerabl doubt hangs over
the result in this State next month, on account
ofthe want of harmony among the anti-Lecomp.
ton forces. 1t is we'll known that this want of
harmony arises from the factious opposition of
the "Albany Regency" In 1856, New York
gave Republican majority of eighty thousand.
Had the union State ticket been formed at SYRIA
cuse, and the movement followed up by union
in the several congressional districts, it would
have swept the State by one hundred thousand
majority, carrying from twenty seven to thirty
Of the members Of Congress, and making the next
House opposition beyond paradventure New
York surely ought not to be behind Pennsylva
MIA in the grand revolution now in progress.
Owing to unfortunate and needless divisions
where there should have been union, there is
danger that not only the State ticket may be de-
feated, but so many congressman thrown away
that the next House will be doubtful Unless an
honorable compromise is brought about, four
members in New York city and one at Albany
will be lost.
Since the above written, we are happy to
learn, BY the New York Tribune, that the Amer
lean County Convention, on Tuesday evening,
consented to an arrangement with the Republi-
cans, by which the same ticket will be voted for
By both wings of the opposition to the National
Administration, in New York County, for county
oficers-the Republicans to have the Sheriff, the
Americans the Clerk and District Attorney, and
the Republicans the Judge of the Superior Court
and Supervisors.
The Tribune says ''these are all excellent nom
nations, and will be heartily endorsed by the
Republicans" and be triumphantly elected.
But the best result of the arrangement will be
the carrying out Of the same policy in the nine
Congressional Districts of the city and county,
in which anti Administration Congressman may
be returned in place of the present doughface,
Lecompton members. The Tribune says:
ave have now only our Congressional troubles
20 compose-and this week should make an end
K OF them-and the anti Lecompton electors of the
SRiRe Congress Districts below the Highlands will
form united party and stand shoulder, to shout
der at the polls This will insure gain of not
less than five members. Courage, friends, in and
out Of our State We have every prospect of a
grand, sweeping benefcent triumph !"
We trust it may be so, and that in all the 9TH
er doubtful Congressional Districts of that State,
where like unions have not already been iormed,a
similar policy will be adopted. Then will the
Empire State present as united front against
the slave power as she did in the Bath Congress-
which case the Ssth Congress will have large
working majority against the National Admins.

Now that tine elections for October have
resulted gloriously for the we'll being of the
country, the public must expect to hear the
usual buster from the southern, and non
sense from the northern doughface politicians
about disunion. The Washington Union and
all its echoes will grow lachrymose. The
wise old men who deal in cotton in New
York and Boston will go about the streets
mourning. Sundry clergymen like Rev. N.
Adams. will whine over the decay of religion,
and the Puritan Recorder win publish testi.

We hope and believe, that those who are not
invited to the political meeting, to be held at
the City Hall, this evening, will prove, by their
conduct, that they duly appreciate the rights, as
well as the duties, of American citizens, and that
they will, by no act of theirs, either by manifes
tations of appreciation or dsapprobation of any
of the proceedings, give occasion for the charge
of desire to interrupt or disturb the meeting

WOMEN NATURAL ORAToRs.-This passage
occurs in work recently published abroad
on the cart Of Public Speaking -
"Women naturally speak better than men.
They express themselves more easily, more
wildly; with more arch simplicity, because
they feel more rapidly, more delicately.
Hence the loquacity with which they are re-,
preached, and which is an effect of their con-
stitution and temperament. Hence there are
so many women who write in an admirable
and remarkable manner, although they have
studied neither rhetoric nor logic, and even
without knowing grammar or photography.
They write just as they speak they speak
pretty much as the birds sing; and all
their language has the same charm. Add
to this the sweetness of their organ, the ilexi.
bility of their voice, and the variety of their
intonations, according to the feeling which
animates them the nobility of their physiog-
Monty, which greatly increases the effect os
words the plcturesqueness of their gestures.
and, in short, the g7acefulness of then whole
exterior thus, although not destined for or.
ators by their sect or social position, they have
all the power Of the orator, and all his sue
cess in their sphere, aud in the circle of their
activity. For none better know how to touch.

the end and perfection of eloqueuce.

FATAL RAILROAD AooIDENT.-Another fearful
warning to those who attempt to get upon rail
road train after it has attained headway occurred
at Newton Corner, upon the Boston and Worces.
ter Railroad, on Tuesday evening. The O'Clock
inward Newton special train had reached Newton
Corner at 20 P. NJ, when a man named Austin
DalrJmple must have delayed getting on board
until the train had attained headway, for in max
ing the attempt, as is supposed, to get upon the
car next to the last, he failed, fell upon the plat
form, and rolled beneath the cars. Several
wheels passed over the centre Of his body killing
him almost instantaneously. He was a man Of
about thirty years Of age, and a resident of New.

deed, no slight matter, this of fighting ones
way up to the unpaid seats of the English

told me that his unsuccessful contest for the
comparatively small borough of Oxford cost
him over $1,000 sterling, one item of which
(tor the hire Of "cabs and fies'') amounted
to El75, or nearly 5000. The county con-
tests, are of course more costly. One friend
OF mine who stood twice in succession for a
county representation, losing the first and
winning the second contest, spent upon the
two more than $4,000, or $50, OO0.-Loa-

private letter of the latter gives a general and
brief statement, in anticpationof the full and
interesting account of Lieut.. ellis:
"Ihe horizon was entirely obscured by
clouds in the morning, and we feared our
journey had been in vain. BY degrees, how
ever, that spot at which the sun came over
the mountains was cleared, and though we
could not see the beginning of the eclipse,
yet long before its totalty the sky was clear,
and IN that part alone. Mr.. Gillis had a very
successful observation, and determined some
new features of the phenomena. AS totally
approached the darkness became almost com
plete. The birds ceased singing, the laborers
stopped working, and all nature assumed a
CHASTITY look. As was obliged to keep record
of the barometers, l had not much opportunity
to observe closely the appearance of the sun.

light burst out from around the moon, and
l saw quite distinctly the protuberances of
solar clouds shining brilliantly at four points
of the moons circumference. 1t was so dark
during total observation that was obliged to
hold the cIonometers close to the light of a
lantern in order to note time"
