.oainst the Republican candidate Goldsmith r..
RsiIey He relies for 2, GOO or 3OOo votes upon the
Doupiasites and Belleverets, the od-hme enemies OF
the majority of the people of Worcester County,
and ,hs malignant haters of all forms of Anti Sav-
cry His connection wi h these classes must newt
ably lead TO his defeat, however much the people
NAV desire to tolerate him and his doctrines. lie
could only hope for success by bringing over con-
siderable number of the Republicans to his views,
and il does NOT appear that he has been able to do
this He carried only two towns, and in Worcester
City, which is his residence, he was bea en- more
than two to one In a Republican caucus of more
than thousand voters.
Though Mr.. George I. Curtis has issued pro-
nuncamieno against fusions and coalitions, for the
purpose Of saving himself from ridicule and die
grace after the election, / have reason II believe
that there will be an attempt made to combine the
Bel and Douglas men upon one GubernatOrla and
Electoral ticket. Mi Beach, it is said, has had
beatings enough, and is willing to withdraw, ana
Mr.. Lawrence with his accustomed good nature
will probably do any thing his friends ask him TO-
presume il would not be impossible to convince hum
that the election of Breckenridge and Lane would
be an Ant-Slavery triumph. The thing most de-
voutly to be prayed for, in relation 10 Mr. Law
renee is that he NAV be converted or perverted 10
the Pro-Slayery theories for as he invariably acts
so bunglingy as to give aid and comfort 10 tle
party to which he is prOessedly opposed, Inc Anu
experiment the IIishman tried upon his pig, driving
him toward Cork when he wanted him to g. 70
Killarney. should by all means be attempted upon
Mr. Lawrence. The old Wings are still cold toward
him. At the meeting held in the Music Hall, last
evening, for the purpose of ratfying his nouira-
tiOn his name was not once mentioned either inthe
speeches or the resolutions. You may look through
the report of proceedings, FIVE and half columns
long in The Boston Courier withQpI finding any in

was ratified. 1t would have oeen different had Mr.
Clifford been nominated. II would seem as if, in
expectation OF abandoning Mr. Lawrence the lead
ers had determned if possible, toleave no evidence
that be had ever been their indldate.
HE meeting / refer to was deplOrabe failure,
giving fresh evidence of what stated last week,
Tat the Belleyerett movement has gone up
The large Music Hall was scarcely half filled while
the smaller hall, which had been engaged and light
ed. was not needed at all The meeting was strange
contrast to the overlooking Republican demonstra-
ton held two OF three weeks ago in the same place.
Tie principal speakers were George L. Curtis aud
Robert c. Winthrop Mr., Winthrop undertook to
be iOcOse because somebody or other who evident
a. knows but little of the power great dlsapp)int
ment exercises over narrow man, had expressed
the hope or fear that he bad changed bis p,ltics,
and would vote for Lincoln. He says he has re-
turned from Europe with the sell same opinions and
principles with which he embarked. We know very
well what those were. Mr.. Winthrop is bunker
Of the Hmkers. lie Is, perhaps. the most cons lIc-
uOus instance we now have OF the fatal effects upon
q rising young politician of what are known as cX-
pedIency doctrines GOyernedby these doctrines, he
voted for what he bnew to be lie, in the Mexican
War BILL excusing himself atterward on the ground
that it was question of geography and not of
morals. Not long afterward, when Mr.. Root of
Ohio presented the WilmOt PrOyisO in the House,
Mr. Winthrop lodged the vote deliberately, as he
aiteN ard confessed in public speech, and thus IN
attempting to avoid diff lty, placed himself IN the
very position which Mr.. boot probably designed to
place HIM in. That gentleman was reported as
having said that he " would have either Mr.. Win
/" throps vote or his scalp He did not get his
vote but his scalp has been hanging in the Free
SOIL WilWam of Massachusetts, so long that it has
ceased 10 be a curiosity. Mr.. Winthrop cup of dis
appointment was not full however, until Mr.. Sumner
turned him out Of the Senate and Mr.. Boutwell, pre-
vented him from beiD elected Governor. Sioce then
he has gone rapidly down hill, and probably there
not, at this time, twenty men IN Massachusetts
who care to inquire what his opinions are on any
political subject. Mr.. George I. Curtis is a horse
of another color Mr. Winthrop had in MS youth,
some popular qualities; Mr.. Curtis never would
venture to submit himself TO the ordeal Of any
larger body than a Ward or County Committee,
or a selt-cOnstituted committee of the Bar. Mr..
Winthrop has fallen from Anti-Slayery grace, and,
practically, Ietracted AntiSlavery opinions. Mr.,
Curtis never had any such grace to fall from, nor
any such opinions to retract. Mr.. Winthrop was
originally an available, and yiyaciOus and lively
man, and Is even now an excellent speaker. Mr..
Curtis adds TO his other oenses the atrOciOus crime
being insuficrably dull
/ find the Breckenridge men here in very com
pacent and even Jolly frame Of mind. The small
Of their numbers does not in the least disturb
them. Their ideal Of party has always been one
that is " conveniently suall." They are encOut-
aged by the movements toward fusion by the Doug
lasltes and Beeyerets Of the Middle States, know
ing very well that if Lincoln should by any chance
fail 10 get a majority Of the votes they, and they
alone can profit by that event The secret Of the
baqeling by the Breckinridgcrs of New-YOrk and
PENNSYLVANIA over three four names, more or
less on the Electoral tickets consists in the eX-
peCtatiOn that the whole Southern vote viii be-
given 10 their car didae and in that event they rely
upon electiDg some in the North, by fusion, and
buying up others, and thus electing Breckenridge by
the people. This is no doubt, a wild calculation.
but It is not nearly 30 absurd as that by which the
Bell men have deuded poor Mr. Everett and his
friends. The Courier informed the world not long
ago, that Mr.. Everett would certainly be chosen
Nice-president They say Mr.. T.. believes it, aud
it is reported that he is deep IN Parliamentary law,
diplomacy finance, and everything else, IN view Of
the alternative duty which may devolye upon him
Of being either Nicc-President or President He is
evidently much the same man he was iorty.iye
years AGO. The other day / came across an auto
graph letter by the late William Tudor which tells
us what Mr. Everett was them 10 is written to o
gentleman IN birmingham. Eng. "There are also
in their suite" (says Mr.. Tudor two young
d" men who have real merit-Eyerett who has just
Il" been installed Professor Of Greek Literature at
" Cambridge ard who gocI at the expense Of the
" University 10 visit Europe for two years. He i
just u; great learning much wit, extraordinary
application and uabovrdd ambuion.' The
other young man was Mr.. George TichDOr, Of
whom some gathering things are also said.
