THE STATE CONVENTION.

The attendance at the state convention
yesterday, was very good, and the desire tc
nominate a state ticket representing all thc
political parties was realized. Gov Andrew
was renominated by reclamation. Hon. Ed
ward Dickinson of Amherst was nominated
Sor Lieut. Governor without much objection
He represents the Bell and Everett party, with
which lie has been associated He has served
in congress, and is now treasurer OF Amherst
Colleee. Hon Josiah G. Abbott Of Lowell, a
democrat was nominated for Attorney General
Judge Abbott stands high as Il lawyer ana
has an excellent business. lie has once de-
cIincd an sppointment to the bench of The su.
preme court. Both these gentlemen are es
teemed for personal worth, AMI both are III ia
vor OF prosecuting the war against the rebels
with the utmost vigor. For Secretary of
State, TlcasG rer, and Auditor, the present IN
cunbents were re nominated There was an
attempt to nominate Richard rockingham,
Esq, Of the Boston Post, for Secretary of
State, but il was not successful, and this fail
ure led to the nomination OF Judge Abbott for
Attorney General.
Tlsis is The ticket which the people of Massa'
chusets are asked to support at the polls We
hope it will be sustained earnestly and in good
faith by all the parties represented on it. The
many friends of Hon. Dwight Foster, in this
county and throughout the state, will regret
the absence of his name from the ticket. The
great ability and success with which Mr..
Foster las discharged the duties of attorney
general are everywhere recognized, and the
committee appointed to report nominations,
desired to retain him, although he had taken
measures to have his name withdrawn. 1t
was known that frequently i'll conversation
with delegates to the convention he had OK
pressed desire that his name might not
be used 10 embarrass the attempt to secure a
suitable Union ticket that if any of the present
incumtents should not be ienominated it
might be himself rather than either Of his
associates in the state government, and that
l,e had written a letter substantially to this
effect which was in the hands of one of the
committee After the rejection Of Mr.. Froth-
ingham, it became necessary TO nominate
Judge Abbott ar give up tie endeavor to con
struct Union ticket, and no man in the hall
was more willing to have that gentleman nom
mated than Mr.. Foster himself, and none vii
support the nomination more cordially.
Those in the convention who did not thin
it wise TO nominate ticket representing al
the parties, will undoubtedly sustain the nom
nations, without further criticism or objection
1t would be difficult to construct Union tick
ct more respectable or more worthy of support
Let us sustain it faithfully, and with a full de
termination to give the policy adopted fai
trial, for the war against rebellion must b
made as effective as possible.

Rev f. l.. Capen, native of Worcester county,
and delegate from Boston to the late republican
conventions adyertises to make an exposition of his
meteorological discoveries embracing the principles
and laws of the weather, and simple methods of
predicting its changes for any length of time to
come to the scientific connosseurs, literary circles
and intelligent public of Worcester. He asks and
expects no credence TO his statements and claims
till proved by clear and unquestionable evidence,
which he is ready to offer. He has letters of intro
duction from literary and scientific gentleman at

mony to his prediction of the great Camanche gale,
and other tornadoes in various parts of the cOun-
try and he states that his method of calculation is

and supporters for the unexpected re-
suit. lie said he was sure his friend from
Boston (Mr. KimbalI would allow him to
interrupt him. He had come casually into
the hall moment betore-lust in time to
catch the last words of his friend from this
city, Col. Bullock and to learn that he had a
personal interest in the subject under dis.
cussion. He desired only to say that the
selection by the convention of gentleman
of different political views and associations
from himself would afford him much greater
personal satisfaction than any re nomination
or reelection, if it could be made in the least
degree instrumental in securing a more perfect
unauimity among the people of this common
wealth, in the support OF the national govern.
ment and vigorous prosecution of the war.
Especially, said he, do | so feel when the
candidate is gentleman of such worth and
distinction as Judge Abbott, and l trust my
friend from Boston, and all my other friends,
will unite in the desire I express that his nom.
ination may be made unanimous. The con.
vention expressed their appreciation of the
spirit OF Mr.. Fosters remarks by long contin-
ued applause.
The completion of the state ticket prolong-
ed the session till nearly dusk, and many
members had already left for their homes.
The unfinished business was passed over, and
the convention soon afterwards adjourned.

DEAR DEMOCRAT: beautifully

'ris a beautiful morning, and our camp
is almost silent. The city church bells
arc ringing, and. as their sof, echoes die
away upon the air, we find ourselves in.

reflections l will not disclose, lest my
feelings carry me away.

The County Convention and Ticket.

The Union County Conv onton, which
met at Burton on Saturday last, was IN tn
usually large one, every township being
represented by full delegation and its
action, taken after tho most ample consult
alton and discussion among the delegates,
was such as we are confident the people will
Iatify at the polls.
Some dissatisfaction was occasioned be-
cause the Convention did not mako an equal
division of the nominations between the Re.
publican and Democratic parties, or, rather,
because the nominee for neither of tho two
most important Offices was Democrat.
That the nominee for Treasurer was not
Democrat, was owing, as We boliove. not to
nny disposition on the part of tho Republicans
10 monopolize tho most important Of
fees, but to want of concert of notion
among the Democrats themselves, and the
personal popularity of the successful candi
date, who was the undoubted choice of the
Convention. 1t seemed to DO generally
conceded before the balloting was com
menced, that tho nominee other for Rep.
resentative or Treasurer, would be Demo.
crat, and, had there boon but ono Democratic
candidate for tho latter office, no would
probably have been nominated. But, bo
shis as il may, it was not as Republicans
and Democrats, seeking q division of tho
spois of Office, but as Unionists, seeking,
irrespective of party, the nomination of good
and available men, that the delegates came
together; and we have too much faith in the
patriotism and sense of tho people of the
County,-Democrat as we'll as Republicans,
to believe thoy will suffer themselves to
be distracted now, by any dsatfection on
account of tho apportionment of the offices
Beuj. B. Woodbury., tho nominee fo'
Representative, is u thorough, practical man
of largo experience and excellent busines
habits. He will mako good legislator
having, in all bis acts. tho interests of hi
constituents in view.
Ozro r. Newcomb, the nominee 70
Treasurer, who resides in Middofeld, Is ,
young man of sterling integrity. and il
every respect woll qualified for that Office
Being no partisan, and comparatively un
known to the people of the County, hii
nomination is an honor of which be may
well be proud.
Delos W. Garfield, tho nominee for Pros.
ecuting Attorney, will discharge tho duties
of that office ably, efficiently, and to the
acceptance of tho people.
Lewis @. Reed, Of Auburn, tho nominee
for Commissioner, and Delos Williams, o.
Burton, for Director Of Inhrmary, boti
Union Democrats, arc good men for thos,
Offices. and wero nominated by acc,amation
Since the above was written, Mr.. Viii
liams authorizes us to state that he decline
to accept the nomination for Director @
Infrmary. Another nomination will
made Cor that Office before tho election.

John Quincy Adams upon the War
Power,

The opinion Of John Quincy Adams on
tho power of Congress, or tho President, or

since the pI osent rebellion broke out, but
