A CASE OF FALSE PRETENsEs.

False pretenses have been used to persuade
Republicans to nominate Hon. Edward Bates
for the presidency. He has not used them
but they have been used by some of those
who have written and talked in his favor.
The two most noticeable of these false pre-
lenses are as follows first, that he acts with
the emancipation party in Missouri; and Sec
ond, that the emancipation party are putting
him forward and urging the Republicans to
nominate him These representations are
both untrue.
Mr. Bates is recommended for the Presiden-
cy by the St. Louis Democrat and some of
the Missouri emaacipationists. But the ma
jority of the party in Missouri prefer Fremont
or Seward. Fremont is the first choice of all
the German emancipationists, and of many
others connected with the party. We now
have it from the st. Louis Democrat, and from
Mr.. Bates himself on the authority of that
Journal that instead of belonging to the eman-
cipation party, he is entirely opposed to its
policy. He does not like slavery, but he has
an all controlling "horror of slavery agitation"
and, therefore, discourages any attempt to
maintain a cantest with the institution of sla
very. The St. Louis democrat putting his
position in the most favorable light possible,
states it as follows:
"He has all that horror of slavery agitation
and all that devotion to the Union which dis
tinguish old Wings who have not turned Ma
tional Democrats. This, in conjunction with
his dislike of slavery, will explain why he is
willing to leave the redemption of Missouri to
natural causes exclusively, although he has
given freedom to his own slaves, elevating or
reducing Observation-Disclosures you may choose
to call ito the rank of n-slaveholder.
We dissent from him in relation to the ques-
ton of slavery in Missouri. Like the physi-
clans, we think it is wise to aid nature in her
efforts to cast off disease. However potential
may be the causes which are abstracting
slaves from the border slave States and con-
centrating them in the cotton, rice, and sugar
region, we do not doubt for moment that
emancipation with compensation would accel-
crate that salutary movement and rebound not
only to the glory, but to the material profit of
the whole confederacy."
Mr. Bates agrees with the Republicans in
regard to the evils of slavery extension. His
opinion is that slavery should not be extended.
He would have the institution become less
boisterous and remain quiet in the regions
where it is now tolerated. But it does not ap-
pesr that he would undertake stern and per-
sistent opposition to slavery propagandism
The "horror of slavery agitation" which sets
him against the policy of the emancipation
party in his own state, would be likely to hold
him back from a contest with those who seek
to have slavery recognized and protected as a
national interest. This "horror of slavery
agitation" which seems to trouble him like a
nightmare, is the weakness which would be
likely to paralyze all the good there is in his
opinions in regard to slavery. Is it to nomin-
ate such man as this that the Republican
party has been organized

MARCH MEETINGs.-The annual election of
town officers takes place in most of the towns
of Massachusetts, on Monday next. The
general principle in our elections is rotation
for no man has claim upon any Office, and
none are disqualified for any by birth or social
position. 1t gives many persons better opin-
ion of their institutions, and deeper interest
in the public welfare, to have something to do
with their management and control. Many

rotation principle, with suitable checks, is, for
this reason, one of the best to be followed in
all town elections. We are not certain that it
would not operate well to have selectmen, as
SCISSORS, overseers of the poor, and school COM

never have any reflections. When one per-

CONCERT BY THE OXFORD BAND.-The Ok
ford Cornet Band gave a concert and levee
Friday evening, in the North Church, under
the direction of their efficient instructor, A. A.
Goodspeed, Esq. The exercises were varied
by number of songs from the Quartette Club,
under the direction of Mr.. E. w. Bardwell,
and the whole affair passed off in a happy and
successful manner. The tables were furnished
and presided over by the young ladies of the
place, and music and beauty WED to make the
festival brilliant and entertaining. The pro-
ceeds were very satisfactory, and will be ap-
piled for the instruction and improvement of
the Band. This is their first appearance, as
they have been under instruction only about
eight months, and their proficiency does credit
alike to their own industry and the talent of
their instructor.
