WORCESTER, Nov. 3, 1860,
Dear Str:-In answer to your inquiry,
have no hesitation in stating the charges
brought in my presence, about year ago, by
Mr.. Eli Thayer, against Gov. Robinson of
Kansas. 1t is tile only conversation held by
me with Mr. Thayer Tor some two or three
years, ard as it involved an extraordinary at
tack on personal character | took great pains
to Xix 1t acCurately i'll my memory.
The subject under discussion was the utter
failure Of Mr. Thayer's large predictions as to
the financial profitabeness OF the Emigrant
Aid Society. To my great surprise, he de.
clared that the whole failure was pro,
duced by systematic swindling ON the part
OF the society's agents in Kansas. He
spoke especially of "Robnson and Pom
roy and clique, "-including, | then sup
posed, such men as Mr.. Simpson, who had
been connected with Gov. Robinson in some
business operations. And he finally said, in
words which | have never forgotten, and to
whose essential accuracy | should be willing
to make oath ~ haze eUidence Which uouid
conCict ChdlieS Robinson, IN any court of justice
Of hacing gro,ca rich himself by systematically
dctrauding the Emgrant aid Society"
Mr. Thayer can hardly have forgotten this
conversation, which was sought by himself,
not by me, and occurred on Main street OPP
posite the City Hall. repeat the statement,
not because | believed it, but because he made
it. Whether it be true or false l am not called
upon to say. Either true or false it must be.
If true, it destroys the character of Charles
Robinson. If false it destroys the character
OF Eli Thayer. Yours truly,
T. w. HIGGINsoN.

The south want. Thaye,. reelected.


The following extract from letter received
by gentleman of Sturbridge, from pro slav-
cry acquaintance in kentucky, tells the rea-
son why =
81 am sorry to see that the republicans Of
your district have thrown Eli Thayer over
and nominated another man for congress in
his place l hope he will defeat the nominee
of the republican party and be returned to con-
gress, for he is the only republican member
that is willing to give the South their rights
as they claim them. The south takes his
votes on Oregon and the New Mexican Slave
Codes as guarantees that if he is kept in con-
gress that he will give his influence in favor
of their rights to protection in the territories of
the United States, and are glad TO see that the
sentiment of the Ninth Congress siona District
of Massachusetts is changing and coming back
from fanaticism TO true conservatism, and if
he can be KEEP: in the House, soon the whole
delegation will be changed from your State
And as from your State and from your Dis
trict started this tanatcal principle, that has
made the republican party all over the north,
SO will go from the same source that conSer-
vative influence that restores peace and har-
mony to the country"

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE Hon. JOSIAH
QUINcY, SEN.-As this respected and yrnela-
bic citizen was riding in his carriage, yester-
day morning at about IL o'clock, .lne of the
horses suddenly slipped and fell at the corner
Of Essex street and Harrison avenue-pluug-
ing and struggling violently just at
the same moment, a Roxbury horse car was
turning the same corner, on one side of the
carriage, and heavy laden truck, with four
hogsheads OF oil, on the other; but, by the
prudence of the three drivers, a most serious
collision was avoided. The venerable expires
ident of Harvard College alighted from his
carriage, while the fallen and spirited horse
was claimed and restored to his feet again.
The congratulations of the writer of this para
graph, (who was on the spot to the Hon. Jo-
siah Quincy, upon his escape from tue danger
naturally attending such an accident will be
joined in by every citizen.

CHURCH BELLs.-The excellent chime of
eight bells in Chrsts Church. Boston, were
presented to that church. "by number of gen.
erous persons" in l744. One OF them las the
motto, eve are the first ring OF bells cast for
the British empire in North America"
The bell in the drst Baptist Church in New
bury was cast in 1922.
The bell on the Bush street school house, in
New Bedford, bears the date of 1853.
The bell in the Rev. DIR. Halls church, tn
Dorchester, was imported from England in
1862, and has been in use since June 18th OF
that year.
There is bell in West Newbury, which
was presented 10 Queen Anne's chapel, in
that place, about the year 17l5. The church
was abandoned just before the revolution, and
in few years fell down. The bell, which
was unirjpred, was secured, and has since
been used for school house and an Ortho-
dox meeting house. 1t would be difficult for
any person or society to obtain possession of
this relic OF our colony times.

SHREWSBURY, Nov. 3, 1860.
To the Republicans Of the Fifteenth Representa-,
tire District - Having received due notice of
my nomination as IL candidate TOR the office Of
representative in General Court, for the Eff
teenth District, composed OF the towns of
Boylston, Northboro and Shrew bury, L beg
leave, after due deliberalion, most respectfully
to decline the honor thus done to me, after my
distinct request TO the convention that nomin-
aIed me, not TO use my name as candidate
for said office. In declining that honor, most
highly esteemed by me, ii is but just to the
convention and the district, as well as to my.
self, to express the reasons which have in
auenced my decision.
Though by the constitution of our Com
munwealth each district is authorized TO
choose its representative, at any and all elec.
tons Tor that office, from any town within its
limits, nevertheless it COMFORTS with good
neighboIhood, with common interests, and
with the true spirit of republican institutions,
that each town should share both the honors
bestowed ON, and the responsible duties en-.
trusted to, the representative Of them all.
This opinion, in harmony alike with our mu-
tual understanding and usage, | have been az.
customed 10 entertain, and l know OF 10
just occasion for departing, at the election
from a well considered understanding and
practice.
There may be extraordinary occasions, it is
true, when this generally discreet understand
ing and practice may be wisely departed
from. And for this reason, perhaps, among
others, the constitution has lett each district
unrestricted in its choice by locality and rota-
ton But whatever may be special propriely
on extraordinary occasions, the present, surely,
is not the time for disturbing custom which
all habitually regard as both discreet and prot
liable TO any district composed OF several
towns.
The impression which influenced me in
request the convention not to look to me to
their selection of a candidate to represent the
fifteenth district, remain on my mind in at
least all of their original force. The present is
especially time for harmony and concert in
the republican party. l am most unwilling to
be in any wise the object Of any dissension or
ill feeling. This year, according to practice,
NorthbOro is entitled to furnish a candidate
for the three towns composing the fifteenth
district. 1t will crafty me, as l also hope il
will my friends Ill Shrewsbury and elsewhere
should the mutual understanding which has
wisely guided us hitherto be preserved on the
present occasion that our union may be more
complete and efficient for the interests OF the
district, and for the general welfare. Trusting
that union Of sentiment and effort will be the
watchword, and that personal interests may be
lost sight of, | subscribe myself, with hg
personal regard, very truly yours,
THOMAS RICE.

ment Mr.. Grow asked to have them
I taken into consideration, discussed, mod
/ fled and amended. until they should be made
satisfactory but Mr. Thayer and his demo-
cratic helpers used all their efforts to prevent
this Mr.. Grow himself moved to amend
every one of the bills so as to allow the peo-
pie to choose their own officers, wherever the
population should number 10000 Did Mr.
Thayer propose to amend or improve them in
any way? No, indeed. Mr.. Robinsons ac
count of the anti-slavery proviso is not just
That proviso declared freedom to be the law
OF the territories, and said expressly that
slavery had "no legal existence" there;
and the invitation 10 amend the bills,
was an invitation to make the declaration
stronger. No republican, save Mr. lbayer,
would have voted against more complete and
emphatic prohibition. On this question, the
charge against Mr.. Thayer is, that he worked
with the democrats to prevent amendments,
and destroy the bills withd& allowing them
fair play, and that he did this because he is
opposed to any sort of territorial organization.
Mr. Robinson would have done well if he
had abstaned from discussing the issue in this
district until he had contrived to understand
it. If he understood it better, he would see
that Mr.. Thayer is in his resent position with
regard to the republican party, not because he
has talkedi favor OF popular sovereignty, but
because he makes war on republican doctrine,
and on the republican party of this district,
and does Tin the most inharmonious and ofens-
i've manner possible. He has formed com.
bination with the democrats, who declare that
eli is all right" while they groan for Lincoln
and Hamlin. 1t is very true that the tone of
Mr.. Robinsons anti-slavery sentiment is not
now as high as it was some years ago, and he
may be willing to aid the democrats in their
purpose to use Eli Thayer "to stay the
plague of abolition republicanism" and injure
the republican party.

NEW York, Oct Is, 186O.-Ihr. Ingalls,
No, sir. The Chicago platform asserts that
congress may and should Interfere to protect
the liberty of inhabitants of the territories,
uhenever necessary. l believe, however, that it
was the prevalent wish OF the members of that
convention, that 1t should not be necessary to do
so. Speaking for myself only, will say that
| should very much prefer that each territory
should enact whatever laws may be necessary
to protect each human being in the enjoyment
of his natural rights but if any territory fails
to do this, l trust congress will supply the de.
fcency. Yours, HORACE GREELEY.

The Worcester Wide Awakes have arranged
to have grand torchlight procession of Wide
Awakes and republican citizens, in this city
to night. Several Wide Awake companies
from abroad will take part in the demonstra-
ton, and torches will be provided for all
republican voters who wish to join the process
SION Our citizens have very generally
manifested their desire to light up their stores
and residences in honor of the event ; and
we anticipate brilliant and general ilumina-
ton along the route Of procession-one that
shall prove entirely satisfactory to the friends
OF Lincoln, Andrew, and Bailey. The process
sion will move through the following streets -
ROUTE OF THE PROCESSION.
From the park down Main, up Highland
through Harvard and Bowdon through Chest.
nut to Elm, through Elm to West, through
West to Pleasant, down Pleasant to Chestnut,
through Chestnut to Pearl, down Pearl to

coin to Garden, down Garden to Prescott,
through Lexington to Grove, from Grove to
Main, up to the common, and dismiss.
The procession will form on the common.
Clubs from ether towns will be received by the
marshal, who will assign them places. Citi-
zens Of Worcester, who desire to join the pro-
cesson, are requested TO meet at Horticultural
Hall at half past six, where they will be pro-
vided with lanterns.
a. B. Il. Sprague, commander of the Wor-
cester Wide Awakes, will offlciate as chief
marshal, and will be assisted as follows -

Assistant Marshals S. V. Stone. Il. NJ
Gould, L. g. Watkins, j L, Benchley, L. Il.
Hudson, Putnam w. Taft.
The very brief time that has elapsed since
this torchlight display was resolved on will
prevent the attendance OF great many clubs
who desire to come here, but are prevented by
the occurrence OF previously arranged meet
ings in their own towns. And many citizens
will regret that they are to have but one day
in which to prepare their Examinations. But
if the skies are propitious this impromptu dis
play will be well worth the having

GOLDSMITH L. BAILEY is AN OLD NEIGHBoR
AND FRIEND OF MINE. If HE SHOULD BE
ELECTED TO REPRESENT YOU IN CONGRESS.
HE WILL DO HONOR To YOUR DISTRICT
Governor Robinson, in Mechanics Hall, Noy 3.
1860.
1t was painful to the Massachusetts, mem.
bers OF congress, to see your representative
from this district taking counsel, in regard to
the territorial bills, with such men as Houston
and Singleton and Barksdale. Sometimes MIR.
Houston would come over to the republican
side Of the house, and whisper to Mr.. Thayer,
and anon Mr.. Thayer would go over to the
other side and counsel with Mr.. Houston and
between them the territorial bills were cruel
fed.-HOn II. L. Da0eS, in Mechanics Hail.
Oct 81, 1860.
l thought of the ninth district--the district
that sent Charles Allen to Philadelphia, and
who would not consent TO be muzzed, but
turned his back on the convention, and left
this wing party in the zenith of its power
And the ninth district welcomed him with opt n
arms sending him to congress over Charles
hudson, because he spoke with a clearer and
louder voice against slavery.
1t was said, too that John Hickman agreed
with him. But the difference between them
was the same as between young convert and
a backslider. They may be passing the same
point, but their faces are turned different
ways.-Hon. II. L. DaUeS, Oct. 81, 1860.

WHO STONED THE CARS 2-Some of the
Thayer men have very freely charged that
the supporters of Mr.. Bailey threw the stones
which broke the car windows and injured
several persons, at their Fitchburg demonstra
ton, last week This story was told without
any warrant whatever, and investigation has
contradicted it in the most effective manner
Eight of the lawless gang of fellows who threw
the stones have been arrested, and writs were
out, Saturday night, for two more. The
deputy sheriff, in a letter to our city marshal
announcing the arrest, makes this observa-
ton :-"Nhey are all Irish but one, and all in
favor of Eli. 1t was not political fight. in
any way, but the work of an old grudge be-.
tween Worcester and Fitchburg Irish boys"
The cold grudge" referred to is in reality not
rey old 1t began with fight that took place
between the Irish boys of the two places, the
other night, when the Thayer men of Fitch.
burg came here in special train The fight
was renewed at Fitchburg and finally termi.
mated in that stoning of the cars.

"They had large ldence, and talked al.
ternate half hours till midnight, by which time
Thayer was badly used up in argument and
wit. Parker was very sharp and argumenta.
tive and methodical; and Thayer is probably
SICK OF JOINT debates with him. Thayer had
the impudence to claim the Springfield Re-
publican as supporting him, and read a gar
hled extract from one of its editorials to prove
his assertion; but when Parker read the
whole article to the audience, the trick and its
baseness were exposed, and Thay er put to
shame by the shouts of the people We see
no reason to change our opinion that Thayer
