Town Caucuses.


A correspondent of the Detroit Id
uertiser suggests that it would save
Republican electors some time and
trouble if the County Conventions
throughout the State, to select delegates
to the State Convention, be called suffi-
GENTLY early to enable the several town.
ship nominations for the April election,
at the same time they choose delegates
to such County Conventions. Our
County Convention being called for the
10th of March, which will bring the
two caucuses within week or ten days
of each other, and as the nominations
for township officers are generally made
at time when the condition of the
roads is such as to render travelling not
the most agreeable, We think the sug-
gestion worthy the attention of our
Township Committees, as it would OBJ
viate the necessity for more than one
caucus, when it otherwise would re-
quire two.

after these facts were established.
True, he was aliberal man; he owned

have a Democratic press there without

He spent his money freely, and he could
afford to do so, for he made it himself;

1t is these abuses, extending from
the highest to the lowest officer under

sentence of stephens and Hazlett.

The convicted insurgents, Stevens
and Hazlett, were sentenced to death
at Charlestown on Tuesday. The day
of execution, for both the unfortunate
men, is fixed for Friday, March 16.
Stevens made brief speech, denying
a statement sworn to by one of the
witnesses, for the prosecution, to the
effect that he had proposed to fire the
city of Charlestown, and averring that
his conscience did not reprove him for
his actions. Hazlett followed with a
strong asseveration of his own inno-
cence, denying that he had ever COM
mitted murder, and charging the wit
nesses for the prosecution with perjury.
Both prisoners expressed their graft
tude for kind treatment received from
the officials who have had them in
charge, and both wore the air of men,
in no way terrified or repentant.

the election of men who want the office

strike, among the shoemakers.

By the preconcerted arrangement
among the shoemakers of Lynn, Mar
blehead, Match, and other leather
towns in Massachusetts,, on the 22d
inst, they struck for more pay. For
some months they have tried to effect
an amicable arrangement with the
manufacturers for an advonce, but the
falling off of great southern trade
prevented ready response to the wish
es of the journeymen, and strike has
been the consequence.
AT an early hour on the 22d, the shoe
makers, to the number of 500, formed
in procession with music and banners.
and marched through the principal
streets of Lynn. After which a meet
ing was organized in the open air, and
several speeches were made. The
speakers urged upon the journeymen
the necessity of being firmly united in
the movement, and warned them of the
folly of committing any breach of the
peace. During the day there were sew
eral trifiing outbreaks of revengeful
character against those obnoxious to
the strikes, but nothing of a serious ma
ture TRANSFERRED. 31a.l 9ae 81
The Marblehead strikers marched in
procession through the streets, and then
quietly dispersed. There were similar
demonstrations at Natick and Dover,
N. H., but no acts of violence occurred
at either of those places. ~ lano'
Large manufacturing towns are La
bic at any moment to outbreaks of this
kind, but it is one of the peculiarities
of our country that in these movements
no arms arms are carried with which to
revenge fancied wrongs. And although
none are so poor but they can procure
all the weapons of war at any of the
shops, yet the demonstrations are usu.
ally made with banners, speeches, and
empty pockets. If strikes are an evil
which necessarily follow in the steps Of
manufacturing districts, the ca,aaiIc Of
the country use a judicious care in the
selection of weapons offensive and de-
fensive. They rely more on a proper
use of the English language than upor
the foolish use of Colts revolvers OF
somebody's Jenny. The combination
of itself, is bad enough, but the quie
maintenance of a principle is the re-
deeming feature of such course.

Speech of Winter Davis.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Press d Tribune speaking of the recent
speech of Hon. H. Winter Davis, in
defense of his vote for Gov. Penning-
ton for Speaker, against the resolution
of censure passedupon him by the Mary
land Legislature, says: cit was one of
the severest, most sarcastic, and defiant
pieces of composition / ever heard or
read. The secret of his unbounded
popularity in Baltimore is exposed af-
ter hearing him speak. Friend and foe
admitted that he made mince meat of
his assailants; he certainly riddled them
in way that is rarely the misfortune
of malevolent wretches to suffer- He
spoke to a most attentive house and
overlooking galleries. 1t was with the
utmost difficulty that the ''sovereigns, y
could be restrained from cheering and
applauding, as he poured in one broad
side after another into the worm-eaten
hull of the Maryland Democracy. He
began by saying that the Legislature
of his State had "decorated him with
its censure," and it was his purpose to
acknowledge the compliment. And he
did, with a vengeance. As a full synop
sis of his remarks were telegraphed to
the New York papers, l willrefrain from
making an extended sketch. His tones
looks and style cannot be reported OIL
telegraphed, but they added magic force
to his words.
He finished his hour with a manly
and fearless defense of the Republican
party against the Southern charge O.
''sectionalism" and aggression upon
Southern rights. He reminded the
House that for FIVE years the Republi
cans had introduced not one aggressive
or sectional measure-that all slavery
agitation had originated in every in
stance with the Democrats that the
threads of Disunion had come from The
same party, and that the great Repub
lican organization is conservative il
purpose and constitutionalin principle
Their Speaker was in favor of putting
an end to sectional strife and mischiev
Gus agitation; he was a symbol to tn
country of the peace that would prevail
if that party was in power. The ca
lamity of the times was that the PEG
pie Of the North and the South did no
understand each other, and that it i
the interest of Democratic politician
to perpetuate the misunderstanding.
No speech made since the opening 0
Congress has attracted more attention

This event came off at Washington
on the 22d, and gave universal dissatis-'
faction. Ten thousand dollars of
money were spent. Mr.. Bocock made
a speech. President Buchanan made
speech. The diplomatic corps, on a
point of etiquette, refused to march in
procession. 1t rained dismally. The
noble Seventh Regiment of New York
were present, but not honored with any
sort of provision for their comfort, and
have returned home in towering pas
sion. In hurry to unveil the statue
the attendants did not perform the duty
perfectly, and only part of the statue
was revealed. A cry from some one
of the crowd of "Tear the shirt off,
occasioned much laughter. A young
man, agile as monkey, swiftly climbed
up the pedestal, and, leaping on the
horses back removed the section of
canvas which had partially obscured
the view of the statue. Meanwhile, the
laundering of cannon, sounds of music,
Understanding cheers and expressions
of wild delight, greeted the exhibition.
Mr.. Mills, being called upon, made
few remarks, after which the company
both civic and military, dispersed.
The statue is pronounced by all hands
Indifferent.

49, The Young Prince of ORANGE


~ The young Prince of Orange,
who is expected to marry the English
Princess Alice, being determined to
shave his fiing'' before allowing himself
to be bound in the claims of matrimony,
lately had ''fast'' time of it in Paris,
when on his way to see his .faecee.
This come to the knowledge of his in
tended mother-in-law, and she prevail
ed upon his father, the King of Holland,
to relegate him to Bordeaux. To the
city of the Garonne he went, taking
with him three handsome young women
from the Grand Opera to temper exile
and make it endurable. These were
taken from him, and at the end of four
days he was again in Paris; whereupon
he was ordered to pack up his traps and
go to Cherbourg, where, though it is so
near to the sea, it is supposed he will be
safe from the songs of the sirens. The
Princess Alice will probably like him
none the less because of his ssprees.n
ladies being partial to gentlemen who
are ga little Wild" The throne of Hol-
land can't be perilled for such trifle.

The Charleston COnventIOn.-.WhO will
be Nominated!

W
There are as many aspirants for the
Presidential nomination at the Charles
ton Convention as there are leaders in
the Democratic party. There are JEFF
ferson Davis of Mississippi, Senator
Hunter and Gov. Wise of Virginia,
Vice. President Breckenridge and Mr..
Guthrie, of KY, Senator Fitzpatrick
of Alabama, Howell Cobb and Senator
Toombs of Georgia, Gen. Lane of Or
egon, Senator Douglas of ILL.,, Gov.
Seymour and Daniel s. Dickinson of n.
Y, General Houston Of Texas, and
some score or two others who are not
much talked of for the nomination by
anybody but themselves, to say nothing
of President Buchanan, who is sus-
pected of itching for a denomination.
Of all these mentioned above, one of
whom will no doubt be the nominee at
Charleston, Gen. Lane is the only
Northern man who stands the shadow
of chance of getting the nomination.
Douglas must serve the Slave Power
most industriously, and bow to it most
obsequiously between this time and the
23d of April, in order to render him.
self at all "available" in the estimation
of a single Southern Democrat. AL
though he is now doing all in his power
to conciliate the fire. eaters, we think
his friends might as well make up their
minds that he will be 'scounted out"
The nominee of the Charleston Con-
vention must be a man who believes
most implicitly that Slavery is the only
interest in the Union that deserves the
watchful care and protection Of the
National Government, and a Southern
man will in all probability be nomina-
ted-(John G. Breckenridge stands a
first-rate chance)-in which event we
shall as surely have Republican Pres
ident in 1860 as the November election
is sure to take place.

Was Gen. Quitman Correct +?

The Douglas papers have made free
use of that part of letter from Gen.
Quitman, Of Miss, is which he ex-
pressed a preference for Douglas for
the Presidency but they carefully sup
press the following portions of the let
ter, in which he gives the reason on
which such preference is based:
In a short conversation with Doug
las yesterday, he said to me that achat
he most feared acas that tinaid Southern
men soould fall back.
r. = < ~
"He demands not only the use and
enjoyment Of the common territory for
their property, bit INSISTS ON ITS
PROTECTION THERE.
"He is the truer representative of
this principle, and opposes the ABOM-
Unable PRINCIPLE OF SQUAT
TER SOVEREIGNTY"
We think no Douglas paper has yet
dared to publish these statements of a
man whose opinions they pretend to
respect. The question arises as to the
correctness of Gen. Quitman's state
ments. 1t is fact, that Mr.. Douglas
"most feared'' that the Democratic
party would be mainly injured by
" timid Southern men, falling back ?
Did he "insist" upon the "protectio'e''
of Slavery in the Territories of Fed
,eral power? Did he, in 1855, two
years after the passage of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, oppose the a6onainable
principle Of Squatter Socereignty?"
Was Gen. Quitman truthful reporter
of Mr.. Douglas views, or was he a
falsifier? Will some Of the Popular
Sovereignty Democrats tell us ? No
Dodging!
