THE Concord u. HI Democratic Standard
says that ''events for the last few weeks point
unmistakably to the Hon. Daniel S. Dickin,
son. of New York. as the man on whom the
democratic convention to re-assemble at Balti-

mise and unite" What will Seymour say (?
By the by, we heard an apt description of Ho
ratio Seymour, the other day. 1t likened him
to a North River sloop, which moves on with
spread sail, when the wind is fair, but lays to
when the wind changes.

deep interest in whatever concerns our agri.

infected districts, and prepare report on the
following points -
"First-Ascertain the history of the intro.
duction OF the pleuro pneumonia, or "cattle-
plague" into New England Ascertain fully
the diagnosis of the disease, by personal in

venient.
Third-Ascertain what effect, if any. and
what kind of medical treatment has been ad.

measures have been adopted, and with what
success; also what measures have been deter.
mined upon to arrest the progress of the dis.

AN UNFoRTUNATE COMPARISON. = The
Taunton Gazette mentions, as something note
worthy, that "the manner in which the con-
duct of Garibaldi is looked upon in Europe, is
vastly different from that in which the similar
exploits of Lopez and Walker were re-
garded in this country" The Gazette
mistakes, almost unpardonably, in assuming
that either Lopez or Walker ever performed,
or ever undertook to perform, similar ex.
ploits" here. They were used as agents Of
our slave power. Garibaldi, with unwearying
enthusiasm and romantic bravery, works fol
the freedom, unity and independence of Italy
Comparing Walker with Garibaldi is like com
pairing brutal rowdy with the chevalier Bay
ard. There is no more resemblance betweel
them than there is between piratical rascalit.
and manly honor.

the plague. A sick calf, belonging to Mr.. E.
b. Rice, of the Burncoat plain district, has

without any good reason 1t will be killed

Mr.. Lyman Rice of Holden, which were pas
tured with the two cows killed in that town
on account of the disease, and with another
COW there that now has it, were driven into
Worcester on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of week before last, with wood. They are
known to have passed, in Worcester, two cows
and pair of oxen; but these Holden oxen
have not yet shown the slightest indication of
disease, and they seem to be entirely free from
it. Nothing is known of any other case in
which the exposure of any animal belonging
in Worcester has been possible. 1t is hoped
that the disease has not yet come here, and
that faithful attention to precautionary meas.

Esq, by whose agency and under whose di-

telegraphed to have a hall secured here, and
accordingly our noble Mechanics was ready

and verge enough; it was the very next best

they were cordially welcomed by Alderman
