should not this record be dedicated to the Admin

the men for whom the gallant Beach has withstood
tie peltsgs and buetipgs of the Pitess sea of de-
traction and denuncistion And will not every

black enough to print these memorabilia
Mr.. Beach SAYS in his letter that he is pro
"foundy grateful" for the distinction of a nomins-
ton. He employs the iuest adverb and adjective
in bis dictionary to express bis thankfuness, beng
perfectly sure that he shall never have better &C.
cason for using them. For our own part, we do
not think that he should feel the load Of obgaton
to be particularly ponderous; we think it is the
party which has been obliged, and not Mr.. Beach.
1t is not always an easy matter to find Demo-
cratic car didate in Massachusetts,, and the time
may yet C, me when the closest search from Berk-
shire to Barnstabe will fail to discover any man
who will not run from being run; when it will be
necessary to pay any gentleman who may under
take the job an immense salary; when IN truth'
there may be nothing for it but to impose upon
the public come ina ginary persona Mrs Harris of
acandidate Who is there left now to drag the
trailing banner of Democracy, and to lead Its
skeleton regiments to defeat? There are, We
answer. two Bepjsmn Franklins-the enc sur
named Hallett and the other Butler--either OF
them with frst-rste talents for running his sup
porters. But to propose either of these gem
temen for Governor of Massachusetts would
be to cause the hills of Berkshire to
resound with laughter. Between the hero OF
many hard fought muster-felds and the hero OF the
Treason trials, there would be little to choose;
but the merry men of the Boston Custom-liouse
understand best which of these worthless would
receive the most beautifully small vote, and will
act accordingly We do not know to what degree
Of minuteuess it may be deemed necessary to
white down the Democratic vote of Massachu-
sets; but whatever nay be the diminution re.
quired, we will back Mr.. Hsett for most ienomn-

that can be trotted out. Our advice to the De-
mocrscy Of Massachusetts, s, that if they are still
emulous of catastrophe and still in the old fashion,
shrink from success, they should nominate Mr.
Hallett and if he cannot ruin them, then nobody
can Judciou,ly improved, his nomination would
hardly leave men enough in the party to fill the
Federal Offices, and, o glorious prospect! pu-
rality Of place might be introduced, and each OF
the fortunate and faithfulfew might discharge hsla
dozer functions, and rapturously draw half adozen
salaries. When the State Convention meets let
not these things be forgotten Let Mr. IIallett's
beautiful laundering and highly-availabe unpopu
larity be remembered Perhaps if Gen Butler
were better Known, he mi ght get the fewest votes;
but he has nothing Ike the valuable notoriety of
receive feaTfully decent support.
But We must not do injustice to other gentlemen
who can claim avery respectable unpopularity, and
have their clsim allowed. There is Edward Rid
dell, esq, an eminent borsemonger Of Boston, over
whose conversion-he was the only convert of the
year in which Mr.. Beach first put on the white
robes of candidate-the Democracy simulated a
positively respectable howl of rapture. He would
certainly get very small vote Then there is the
Honorable Robert C.. Winthrop, who lost his old
politics long ago, and has never found any new
ones-if he could only be prevailed upon TO run as
the Administration candidate what splendid mi,
nority might be anticipated Nor must
We forget Gen. Caleb Cusbing--the Con.
fucius of Amefica-Whose fine unavailabity has
already been tested, and who, receiving the small
est vote ever given to Democratic nominee in
ssachusetts, triuDphantly wears the laurels Of
unexampled defeat. But we need not further indi-
vduate. As there is no party in the United States
so fortunately doomed TO profitable insignifcance
as the Democratic party of Massachusetts,, so there
is no party containing such number of champions
with special talents for keeping it flat and feeble
The deck Of that particular ship swarms with Jo-
nabs, ard, what is curious, nobody wants them
tumbled into tie whales belly. The triumph Of
the Massachusetts, Democrats would be frightful to
the old gentleman at the White House, and would
feoriuly damage the party in its selected strong
holds But there is no danger. Should there be
the worst prospects of vi fortunate victory, some
body can be cent to Boston to catch a fugitive
