Gun CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS, receives
very fattering notice from the republican
press of Boston. The Daily Advertises
speaks of him as follows -
"The republican convention in the ninth or
Worcester district, yesterday, nominated for
congress Hon. Goldsmith f. Bailey of Fitch
burg. This is strong nomination. We have
witnessed with pleasure Mr.. Bailey's course,
in active service in both houses of the legisla
ture quiet and uuobtrusive, he has made his
influence widely felt Indefatigable in the
committee room, with mind well stored with
the principles of law and of justice, in debate
quick TO apprehend the points of arguments
on both sides, impartial in forming his own
opinion, lucid in its expression, he is the sort
of man who makes the most useful legislator.
He is lawyer highly respected at the Worces-
ter county bar; in the house of representa-
tives in 1857, he was leading member of the
committee on the Judiciary, and the present
year he is chairman of that committee in the
senate. He is at this time member of the
large committee engaged in making the decen-
NAL valuation of the property of the common
wealth. He thus has a large legistive expe-
rience and, if electrd, will enter congress well
qualified to discharge the responsible duties
devolved upon him in that body"

self in communication with its worst enemies.
Earnest republicans who are invited to follow
him, will very seriously ask themselves wheth-
er thev can willingly sacrifice the party to any
mans vagaries. The "sober second thought
will yet operate with wholesome effect among
those who have until now been led to favor
his eccentricites.
