Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1858-07-26


We publish, this morning, the call for the State
Convention, of the opponents of the national ad'
ministrstion and the aggressions of slavery, and
who favor the general policy Of the present State
administrator, to be held in this city, September
9, The terms of the call are such as should COM
mend it TO all the good people of this Common
wealth who are DESTROYS Of checking the ruinous
downward course Of our national affairs, and Of
restoring the government to its primitive simplic-
ity, purity, and economy; of all who would es-
tablish freedom on secure and permanent basis,
both in the States and territories and of all who
would carry out the grand reform in our State at.
fairs, so auspiciously commenced the last year.
Ifresponded to, in the spirit in which it appears
to have been issued it will bring together noble
representations the wisdom and the patriotism
of the State, and the Convention SO constituted
will form Organization that will unite in har.
monious cooperation all those whe agree on the
great fundamental principles involved in the pres
ent contest, regardless Of the minor differencesof
opinion which may have separated them hereto
fore. They also present State ticket to the peo
pie which will deserve and command their conf
dence, and secure such vote as will be terror
to the upholders of prOAigacy and niquity in eth
et.the national or State administration.
We regret that there should have been any diff.
fculty or difference of opinion as to the initatory
steps in the annual organization of the party. We
supposed that all occasion for anything of the
kind had been done away, by the organization of
last year. and by the united and cordial action Of
the party as unit, in the Legislature last Win
ter resulting in policy which has claimed and
received the united plaudits Of the whole people.
In relation to these differences we chose to defer
comment, till some action should be had by the
State Committee. That action we now have and
it is in its main features satisfactory we see no
sufficient cause for any extended remark on the
initiatory movements at this time.
We may, however, be allowed to remark, that
we hope to be spared the appearance, even,
Of a double headed party, or of a party, having
within itself an organized faction attempting to
control the party for other purposes than those
for which the party is organized and trust that
no attempt will be made, either in proposed
name Of the party, Or otherwise. to make mem
befs Of 1t appear to endorse doctrines to which
they cannot accede. Any such attempt will be
mischievous, only, and will divide and distract
where all should be concerned to harmonize and
unite.
According to the terms Of the call--one dele
gate for ZACH town, and one additional for each
Two hundred legal voters by the last State census
taken last year,-Worcester will be entitled to
twenty-one delegates in the Convention, Milford
can send nine and Fitchburg seven. Auburn,
BOylston, New Braintree, Paxton, Philhpstop,
having each less than two hundred voters, will be

The following table indicates the number OF
delegates to which each town in this county will
be entitled
