massachusetts Delegates to Chicago.
(erom tie Springfield Republican,

From tie Springfield Republican,
There seems to be no occasion for any contest
in the election of delegates from Massachusetts
to the Republican National Convention, cxccpt
such as arises from the strife Of men aud sec
tions for appointments. Doubtless there are
some Republicans who would oppose Mr. Sew
ards selection under any circumstances: who
would not have him prcsidentif ther could, So
there are some who would not hare ANYBODY
else; who prefer defent with him, to success
with another: The zeal Of these last passcth
their understanding, and certainly passes the
wishes Of Mr.: Seward himself. lie desires no
such friends in the Chicago Convention. But
the great body Of the Massachusetts, Rcpubti-
cans desire 31E. Seward nomination, If there is
a reasonable assurance Of success with his
name. If his friends decide to present his name
and ask his npminatiqn at Chicago, Massachu-
setts stands ready to give him her votes then
aud in November, without any mental or numer-
icAl reservation.
But if, upon comparison Of the opinions Of
all the delegations at Chicago, and review Of
the opposition at that time, It be found that Mr..
Stewards non.aa,ion would not probably lead
to victory, while another would. none will be
quicker to discover and act upon this state Of
things than himself and his friends Aud then
Massachusetts, wants delegation Of iirmncss,
prudence, sagacity and intiuence-as well os
generous and braye-to make her voice felt IN
the selection Of that other name; 4 delegation
that uan Gp'reuluse tle statesman OF other
States and Of their own; vii ing to make apy
sacrifice but Of principle, to giye union aud sue
cess and power to the cause they represent;
and able to command respect and confidence, as
well By thei: personal character and political
position, as BY their comprehension Of the mag.
nitude Of the canvass, and their readiness 10

where Republican victories are not such assured
facts Us in Massachusetts,,
It ought ust to be difficult to elect such men.
and we are gad to recognize them among The
names prominent for presentation to the Wor-
cester Conytntiop on Wednesday. but care

cago, may Gcct others in the state or District
Conventions Chicago will be no place for
mean or small men. They will feel doubly con-
ten1pt;bte there, and had better stay away, or be
kept away. Big-hearted and big.headed men
will alone find congenlal associations and labor
there.
