Politics in Massachusetts,.

The no party movement in Massachusetts, has
blossomed In d convention, and put in nominal
ton Gen Charles Devins, of Worcester, as u
candidate for Governor. The resolutions are as
generalsand vague as they well can be, and yet
mean anything. They have no word of en-
conrasenens Tor the Presidents Emancipation
policy, bat say u great deal about supporting
The coI.sJitut ona head of the nation, in the law
ful exercise OF his constitutional powers. But
AS they allude to the proclamation for the
purpose OF commencing the sentence in which
Mr.. LlDcoln states the objects for which the war
is to be prosecuted, and expressly withheld
their approval of the methods proposed in the
same p:ocanaton 1T is evident that the real Issue
which they make is with the Emancipation pol
icy 0! The Government. The convention had
not, however, the manlinesS to utter their real
opinions. in this bearing silent yet power
ful evidence of the strength of the Presidents
policy il Massachusetts.
As to the talk of no. party, abandonment of
party, &;., which was abundant in the conyen-
ton, the following paragraph in Senator Sum
ner's speech in Fanueil Hall, the day before the
convention, is fitting commcn tary and answer
Surely this is no time for the strife of partv.
Its jealoasles and antipa,hies are now more than
ever irrational. Its cIamors of opposition are
now more than ever uupatriouc. Unhapply
there are some to whom it's bitter, unforeiy-
ing temper has become 50 controlling. that
even 1T mis- moment they would rather enlist to
put down political enemy than to put down
the rebel enemy OF their country they would
rather hang Henry wilson or John A. Andrew
than hang jefferson DAVIS or Robert Toombs.
Such persons, with all their sweltered venom
IRE IL be found here in Massachusetts,. As,
suming the badge of " no party" they are
ready Tor any porty, new or old, by which their
prejudires may be grat;tied, thus verifying the
pungert words of Col. Benton Wherever
you VIII show me man with the words no
party IN his mouth, will show you a man
that figures at the head, or bangles at the tail
of the most inveterate palry that ever existed
Of course, such persons cannot be expected to

More of Judge Smallsy on Habeas Corpus

ANVIL VA suA6V SAAnAA~J VA @AHSS~S wa 20
Of Judge Smalley's charge to the Grand Jury
at the present session of the United States Dis
trict Court at Rutland, the Herald says
" He informed the jury that comp aints
would be presented to them against citizens OF
this State for discouraging enlistment, and for
dIsloyal practices. lie alluded to the course ia
ken by Marshal Baldwin, and said that for the
first time in the judicial history of Vermont, a
Grand Jury would be called upon to present a
citizen OF Vermont for attempting to obsruct
the due administration of justice. and that the
intention was a matter of no consequence, the
only question of importance being whether the
process of the Court had been treated with con-
tempt.
The charge occupied some halt an hour in de-
livery"
So it seems the Judge is Inclined to follow
up his assault on the right of the government
to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus AS
matter of law the conclusion of this matter
will be interesting and may be well enough, but
as a matter of fact we presume the Government
will get along with an indictment quite easily.
Judge Smaley can try, and sentence Marshal
Baldwin to the extent of the most vigorous
penalties in the law for such cases made and
provided, and the next day the President can
pardon him, which will leave the prisoner about
as he was And if the Court should attempt
to commit MIR. Baldwin Tor contempt, it might
not BE- an easy matter carry its order into Ell
feet.
In the meantime the war had better be " hur-
ried up and the rebellion crushed by the
mower OF the nation, and we shall then have no
longer necessity for the exercise of doubtful
powers by the federal government.

THE 7TH REGMENr.-A correspondent from
this regiment writing to the Brandon Monitor
under date of Sept. 10Th says
Maj. Holbrook received an order from head
quarters last night, to send his coIors there tor
the purpose of having Baton Rouge inscribed
upon them. lie refused to send them and 80
the matter stands. This was IA sly way to heal
the old wound-a one sided and indirect way of
smoothing over and covering up a wrong ard
insult done US. Maj. Holbrook's manner is de-
cided, and we all unite and agree with him in
his good Judgment and sense in refusing to
have Baton Rauge inscribed on our colors, which
Butler says could bring U.S. no proud thought. :"

POLITICIANS HIr.-The following decidedly
good hit at politicians, we find in the recent
speech of Rev. Mr.. Carter of 4 .st Tennessee
at the Cooper Institute, New York City:
l may say that have never been and am not
politician, and sincerely hope that | never
shall be. For, with due respect to that large
class, do think that it is about the last bust
ness that Il man should wish to follow. And if
the Swedenborglan doctrine is true-that men
shall follow in the future the business they
have been engaged in during llie-these gentle
men have terrible eternity before them.

Mr.. EDITOR: This morning found eight of
our companies ready for picket duty, and at
the tap of the drum they al! marched for
their destination, except a sufficient number
left to take charge of our baggage, including
myself. The health of the Regiment for the
last few days seems to be improving, but
rather slowly. The principal conversation
among the privates is for the safety of Rich
mond, and their pay. In the first place we
wish that we could be with our brother SOL
dlers there to share their fate, as all are
equally interested in the glorious cause of In
dependence, but should the opportunity pre-
sent itself again, as at Newbern, you will

There is a great deal said about the drink
ing, dissolute habits Of our goung mel
Is frequent topic conversation. we pear
much lanentation over the state OF thlngs
that exists, and the peril there is in it tome
future. But, in the midst of all this lamen@E
tation, the in 3niry arises-What are fathers
doing to save their sonsP Are they setting
examples of total abstinence themselves? p
Do they ever kindly admonish, OF exercise
parental authority in efforts to arrest them IN
their downward course? Are not temperance
men themselves liable to the charge OF want
of faithfulness and kindness in warning the
young of their danger?
The truth is, many of our young men are
falling into bad habits more from a careless
thoughtlessness Of the real peril attendant
upon such a course, than from any vicious
purpose. There are many o fthem who might
be arrested in their downward career, IT a
kindly word of warning were whispered III
their ear. Very many need only to have
their attention seriously and personally di-
rected to their course to induce them to
abandon their habits.
Let US try it fathers. mothers, wives and
sisters. Christian minister, laymen and tenn
perance men, let lis all resolve to "speak tc
that young man." and by kindness and in
terest in his welfare, win him back to tine
paths of virtue and sobriety. 1t is too bat
the heart Yrows sick, as we witness oui
young men of education and intelligence, whc
have been reared by christian parents-reel-
ing in the streets under the influence of Ii
quor, and falling into the worst of habits
We may save them yet. Let US try.

Among the killed on the Yankee side in
the battle of the Chickahominy is the nNne
of Thomas Francis Meagher, the "much-
lauded and highly. a~pplauded' Irish patriot,
who did so much in New York to arouse the
spirit of his Irish brothers against us. He
led the Sixty ninth Erin regiment into the
fight at Manassas, and then ran away to
Washington, exclaiming that the Southern
ers haG son their independence" Recover
ing fin his fright, Colonel Meagher was
mace a brigadier, and raised a brigade of his
countrymen to slaughter Southerners, and
led them on to the Chickahominy to fall
there himself.

The WHEAT CRoPs I'VE feared, from the
doleful accounts some were giving of the
wheat crop, that flour fxins" would be
scase pretty soon. But our friend the Ed
tor of the Marion N. c. Enterprise dispels
our gloom in the following very summary and
satisfactory manner
1t is somewhat amuzing to see the conflict
ing statements of correspondents in our cx-
changes, in reference to the wheat crop in
the same locality. Some declare that il was
never more promising others, that there
will not be more than half a crop. Now. we
have discovered that those who depreciate
the present prospects of a good crop, ara the
men who have wheat to sell. The fact is. crons
IN Western n. c., are as promising as usual !;
and those persons who strive to make the
impression that the rust is 4 DESTROYING the pre-
sent crop, are seeking some pretext upon
which to base a reason for asking q higher
price for the wheat on hand. Poor, deprav-
ed, fallen humanity If the Almighty were
to visit some mems hypocrisy upon their
heads, their crops Of every kind would be q
perfect failure.
