Political Notes.

We learn that Mr. Thayer, or somebody
else TOR him, is reporting through the district
that he will have majority of the votes in
this city. Sometimes the report becomes so
unconsciously outrageous as to represent that
his majority will be "six or seven hundred"
1t is astonishing that men who prize their self
respect can pursue this system of wild exag-
gerations and false pretences. Mr.. Tbayer is
no more likely to get majority of the votes
in this city than he is to ride to the moon on a
sreala of lightning. Such reports should not
be made because they are entirely unwarrant-
cd 1t is of piece with the deliberately false
re port that such men as Salmon P. Chase OPP
pose the policy OF congressional action against
slavery in the territories.
Charles r. Train was renominated for CON
gress in the eighth district by reclamation.
Both the contending delegations from Lowell
were admitted Mr.. Boutwell, made hand
some speech Withdrawing his name from the
field, and, in the midst Of considerable enthusi-
assn and apparent good feeling, the nomination
of Mr. Train was conceded without opposition.
All's well that ends well.
The democrats Of the seventh congressional
district, represented by Mr.. Gooch, have NOM
mated Charles A. WEIGH of Waltham, for con-
gress and B. f. Watson of Lawrence, for
presidential elector. These are the Douglas
nominations. The Breckenridge men have
nominated George B. Johnson of Bradford for
congress, and Richard rockingham, Jr., OF
Charlestown, presidential elector.
The colored citizens of Boston and Chelsea
have organized club named the "Attucks
Wide Awakes," after the first victim of the
Boston massacre in State street. They had
brilliant parade in Chelsea, Wednesday eve
ming, in connection with other Wide Awake
organizations, presentnga very credable ap-
pearance and winning much applause.
The Mozarters, or Douglas men, in New
York city, have nominated James Kerrigan
in the first congressional district, and John
Duffy in the fifth. The latter is also Brock
inridge nominee. The Tan many men of the
third district have repudiated Wood, the NOM
inee Of the Mozarts, and endorsed Mather, the
Breckenridge nominee.
Claiborne F. jackson, governor elect of
Missouri, having made his position equivocal
by speech at the Breckenridge convention,
has been questioned by the Douglasi:es. In
reply, he told them he regarded Douglas as the
regular nominee of the party, and therefore
should vote for him in November. But he
stands on the Breckenridge platform.
The republicans of the fifth Essex senatori-
al district have nominated John j. Babson of
Gloucester for senator The Breckenridge
democracy of the first Middlesex senatorial
district have nominated T. 7. Sawyer of
Charlestown for the senate
1t is stated that Mr.. Yancey has accepted
the invitation of the jackson club, Boston, to
address the democracy in Faneuil Hall under
the auspices of the state central committee,
and that the meeting will be held on the 18th
or the 10Th of September.
Among the noisiest, most blatant and most
abusive of the tugers of the Little Giant
in Ohio, is L. d. Campbell. He figured con
spicuously at Douglas powwow in Hamil
ton, few days since, taking occasion, few
usual, to apply string Of coarse epithets t
the press Always a demagogue and Drag
CART, he now verges on the confines of loafer
dom. Spewed out of the mouth of the peopt
in his district, he finds his appropriate level il
the ranks of the slaye-catching democracy.
