Mr.. Stewards conservative principles aud ma
tional policy, and their well placed confidence
in the sound patriotism and the magnanimity of
the northern people, who, even when having
power, and unresisted in its exercise, would not
abuse it to the destruction of the glorious
Union and constitution, as had been charged
by the dsunionists' The loudest complaints
Of dissatisfaction with the presidents moderate
policy were heard from the underlings among
his early supporters-who could not under
stand why every advantage their party had
gained should not have been used immediate.
ly, and to the full extent, to forward the great
object of the abolition of slavery. The more
violent of his former opponents also, whether
immediate diSunionists walters $50 far i'll
vainl Tor an overt act of unconstitutional
usurpation, still distrusted Seward, and sus.
pected the worst for his future rule. They as
cribed his apparent moderation to profound
policy, and the delay OF the formerly expected
course of uhdisgused despotism to the design
to render the success certain by presenting, at
later time, irresistible strength to his enfee-
bed opposers. II these suspicious were well
founded, it must now become manifest. For
the power of the presidents party and section
is almost supreme in every department OF the
government. Mr. Seward has been re elected
by majority more than thrice as large as that
by which he was first elected, and when Doug
las was his unsuccessful competitor. He is
now safe in his increased power for another
term, and we shall soon see what will be his
policy for the future"

SMALL FORTUNE FOR THE STOCKwELLs.-
Sometime previous to our revolution, James
StOckwell, a young man seventeen or eighteen
years old, from one of the towns near Boston,
entered the British naval service as sub-Offi-
Ger. While his ship was in harbor, he became
acquainted with young lady livingin Boston,
and an attachment followed-not bailitf's, but
cupid's. The opposition of the 'oid folks"
troubled the stream of their true love, which
was likely to be swallowed up in the sands of
tie gloomy desert of disappointment. But the
night before the ship was to sail for 4 long
cruise, the young lady eloped, was rOwed to
the ship, and there Immediately united in we'd
lock to her lover. Next day the ship was
on her way to India, where, in after years.
young Stockwell grew up to be an officer of
rank, and where at length he died. He left
his widow and a handsome fortune, but no
children. His estate, except the widows
share went, for want Of heirs, into the British
excheqner, where it has been ever since. Its
amount is not known here yet, but it has been
rendered certain that it is not less than S25, 000
There are living in this commonw cath, per-
sons who are nephews OF James Stockwel
enc OF whom is MIR. John Stockwell of Athol
IA gentleman not rich, neither pour, we be-
leve. We learn also that there are heirs in or
near Worcester. These heirs have been for
some time investigating the matter, until they
have become confident that the property can
be obtained by them on presenting evidence of
heirships, which, we learn, is conclusive. The
persons in interest propose TO make Rev. Geo.
SIockwe of Bernardston, administrator of
the estate, TO proceed to England and receive
the property, though he is not him elf in the
line OF Inheritance, being descended from
cousin OF James St0ckwel. How many heirs
will be entitled to share it, we do not know,

There are rumors abroad that Mr.. Edward
f. Porter, state liquor agent, has failed to
comply with the requirements of the statutes,
and that change in the Office is expected.
The origin of the rumor is not apparent, and
the precise cause of dissatisfaction is not
stated.
The republicans of Virginia held conven-
ton in Prince William county last week, and
shose delegates to the state convention at
Wheeling. Resolutions, sharp and well-de.
fined in the expression of republican doctrine,
were adopted without dissent
Mr. Summers comparison of Mr.. Mason to
the classical Internal judge is said by some
persons to be unfair. 1t was rather hard upon
the classical judge, and we hope Mr.. Sumner
will hereafter regard the feelings of that
judges whining friends. They are thinking
OF Satan, but the senator was thinking of
RhdddmdnthuS.-IT dveAer.
The judicial election in Wisconsin is still in
the wind The official result in forty-nine
counties gives Dixon 262 majority. Six coun-
ties remain to be heard from. If they vote as
last fall, Sloan will have 125 majority. If they
vote as unofficially stated, his majority will
be four.
The republicans of Maryland hold a state
convention at Baltimore on the 9th inst, for
the purpose of electing delegates to Chicago
1t is expected that full delegation will be
chosen, so that every district in the state will
be represented in that convention.
The republicans of Marshall county, Yir-
ginia, met at Dallas on the 9th instant, and
passed resolutions opposing the extension of
slavery and favoring the homestead bill after
which delegates were appointed to the Vince
ling convention,
1t may be interesting as a Renaissance, to
know that James Buchanan was nominated by
the Cincinnati convention on the seventeenth
ballot. Douglas in that convention, on the
first ballot, had 80, and on the sixteenth, 122
votes. His name was then withdrawn, and
Buchanan received the nomination.
The Charleston Is. c. Mercury publishes
in full the speech of Owen Lovejoy, which
produced such profound sensation among the

statute against incendiary publications is sup
posed to have been suspended for that occasion
only.

ANTI-SLAvERY MEETING-The annual meeting of
the Worcester County South Division) Anti-Save-
ry Society was held Sunday, at Washburn Hall
The attendance was very respectable, and the meet
ings spirited and earnest The vice president, Josiah
Henshaw of West Brookfeld, took the chair, and
spoke of the great loss which the society had
tanned in the death of its late president Mr. Efng
ham L. Capron. Passages of Scripture read
by Rev. Samuel May, Jr. who also presented
ries of resolutions covering the beaten ground of
discussion. Mr. S. p Brown offered resolution for
"the formation of brotherhood for the purpose of
securing TO all persons in the state the inalienable
rights fpersona liberty, against all decisions of all
courts, state federal by such means each deems
best.n The following list of officers reported
and adopted for the ensuing ear:-President-Jo-
siah Henshaw of West Brookfeld; Vice Presidents
Adm Ballou Of Milford, Moses Sawin of South
boro', Adeline IL. Rowland of Worcester, Clark Al
drich of Upton, Moses Buffum of Oxford, Adams
Foster of Holden, and James A. Whipple of Wor-
cester; Treasurer-Sarah E. Wall of Worcester; Au-
ditor-Alfred Wyman of Worcester; Secretary-Jo.

Milford; Samuel May, Jr., OF Leicester; Maria T.
Fairbanks of MillbuIy; Nancy B Hill ofBlackstOne,
Sylvester C. Fay of Southboro', VIM. Doane of
Charlton.
The principal speakers were Rev. Mr.. May, Parker
Pisbury, Abby Kelly Foster, Stephen S. Foster,
Rev. Mr. Higginson. and Charles L. Remond. Mr..
Brown stated in explanation of his resolution, that
he had formed no definite plan of action, but want
ed an organization to protect not only the fugitive
slave, but all who needed protection Mr.. Higgin-
son thought an organization of that kind needed
since the recent occurrences in the of Hyatt,
Sanborn &c. He wanted meeting called to
slider and act upon the subject. Mr., May entertain
ed the opinion that there were too many organiza-
tions. We were apt to rely too much on Organiza'
tiOns. He was in favor of preaching the truth, and
then the minute men would always be ready. Mr..
Remond agreed with Mr.. May in his estimate of or
CARNATIONS. Mr.. Pisbury gratiied with the
tame and temper of the meetings and branched out
into some intense criticisms of Mr.. Seward and the
republican party

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION.

The democratic national convention assem-.
bles in Charleston to-day, The interest felt in
it is general, aud we have made arrangements
to secure full Geographic reports of its pro.
ceediugs. But little more will be done at
Charleston, to-day, besides completing the or
ganization, appointing committees, and set
Ting controversies between contesting delegA'
tons. There are two complete delegations
present from New York, and two from Hi
nois. A ballot for candidates may take place
tomorrow, if the business proceeds expedi
tiously The convention held in Cincinnati
was in session five days,
When the Charleston convention is ready
for business, the first thing to take in hand
will be Mr. Douglas. Nothing else is likely
to make itself heard of distinctly, until it is
clearly asce rtained whether he is to have de-
feat or a triumph At present, his prospects
are not over bright Those who are at work
against him are accustomed TO carry their
points and compel the party to be submissive
to their dictation They are not likely to fail
on this OCCASION But we shall soon know
what they mean, and what they have the pow
er to do. Our atestintelgence from Charles
ton indicates that they have both the will and
the power to prevent the nomination of Mr..
Douglas.
The notion seems to be generally entertain.
ed that Mr.. Douglas is the strongest man the
democrats can nominate, and that if he is nom.
mated, he will be hard man to beat. This,
we think, is mistake. We do not believe he
could get as many electoral votes as Andrew
johnson of Tennessee, or even Mr.. Guthrie of
Kentucky Douglasism has not Jared well at
any of the local elections in the west. It@@as
the foremost issue in the Ohio state election,
where all the candidates were Douglas men,
where Mr.. Pugh wished to be. reelected
senator and where Douglas himself took
the stump; but it was completely put to
rout. The republicans defeated it by an
increased majority. The repeater of the
Missouri compromise, and the proposer of
sedition law for free speech at the north, can
not be made strong candidate with the peo-
pie of the free states. And, on the other hand,
with him for candidate, the democrats would
hardly carry Tennessee, North Carolina, or
Maryland, against the southern opposition
while South Carolina certainly and Alabama
and Mississippi probably, would not vote for
him. His strength as a candidate is taken for
granted. without sufficient reason.
