THE STATE TICKET,

The letter of Gov Andrew accepting the
nomination rendered by the republican slate
convention, and those of Hon Edward Dick
inson and Judge Abbott declining the places
to which they were invited, will be read with
interest The spirit OF their letters is high
toned am patriotic, aud will command the re-
spect OF the people of the commonwealth
Gov. Andrew expresses the feeling OF nearly
all loyal cilizens-and all the citizens OF Mas
sachusetts are loyal-when he says that IN
view OF the tremendous phenomena OF our
present experiences he will not pause to con
si,l,r or even nccdlessly 10 remember the con
troyersies of the past He accepts the
nomination in the spirit with when 1t
was oifered-with the earnest purpose
10 continue til good work he has SO
nobly and worthiy begun. The sent-
ments of Messrs Dickinson and AObott
will be responded TO by the whole people very
many of whom will regret the decision to
which they have arrived The convention oil
the LIST inst undoubtedly desired, IN placing
| their names npon the ticket, to secure cor
| dial union Of the people OF the commonwealth,
| aud bv sacrificing some thing OF political pref
erence and personal choice, to command more
| harmonious action upon the question OF the
| war in which all are agreed. But the
republicans were not met with generosity,
| either by the democrats, who had already
chosen the course they intended 10 pursue,
| or by the influential members OF what has
been known as the constitutional union par
| ty, who appear to have been waiting lor an OPP
| portunty to overthrow not the republican par
| tv of Massachusetts-whchY would be compar-
| atively IA trivial matter-but the prevailing
aud controlling public sentiment which has
made that party 4 necessity, and which has,
through its organization, exercised so salut&ry
| an influence upon the welfare and good name
of the state. The evidence of such purpose
is clear and abundant; aud one OF the Boston
papers whose malevoence toward the republl.
can party and its principles never seems to
tire, hastenS to disclose the design in half
official announcement OF another state conven'
ton, 10 be held for the benefit OF those who
,oU have Il party warfare though the country
be destroyed, The state central committee, To
whom the duty OF filling the vacancies is en-
trusted, will we cannot doubt, supply the places
of Messrs Dickinson and Abbott with discre
ton, and in such a manner as to show that the
republicans OF Massachusetts,, while they are
disposed TO show the largest liberaliIy to other
parties, still have Lively concern for their own
self respect.

Permit me to add that | take this course
from no want of interest in, or feeling for, the
great, good cause, that OF the government, the
constitution and the laws. In this war now
being waged against the nation, know OF but
one great absorbing question Of political duty
and thai is, how shall the government and tile
laws be sustained, established, and maintained
throug bout the length and breadth OF the land.
Al other considerations in reference 20 our pc
litical action tall into insignilicance in its pres
ence To solve it fully am willing to
do and to suffer to the end, l yield 10
no one in my devotion TO the extent OF
my means and abilities to the consti-
tuition, aud its establishment in all its
integrity. II is a contest, now going on to
impose no burden on the south, not equally
borne by the north We are obliged to submit
to and obey the laws. They must be com
PEELED to like submission and obedience.
Until that time comes he is aiding the public
enemy, who ggesls compromise with armed
rebels. The constitution, pure and simple,
should be the watchwords Of all true and
loyal men, until armed resistance to lawful
authority is once Tor all rllectually ended.
let the government strike, quickly, surely
and Overwhelmingly, and 1t viii command all
the lives and the means OF true and loyal men.

The late secretary OF war has become the
subject of very uukind treatment ut Rich

reflections upon his courage as "calunn-

that the characters Of our correspondents hare
