WORCESTER, Oct. "a, 1862.
To c. B. Pratt and d. w. Lincoln, Esqs.
Gentlemen: Having this day been informed
by you officially of my nomination by the peo-
pies party as candidate for representative of
the ninth district in the present congress, [
beg leave to express to you and to my friends
in the district my thanks for the honor of your
confidence and kind regards thus manifested.
the present time, however, l am unable
to accept the position OF candidate for con-
gress, since recent events have made my du-
ties in another direction both immediate and
imperative
In fact, | have not had time to examine a
single plank in the platform of either of the
parties now dividing the state. Ny own
views, nevertheless, are definite, and my SYM
patty and aid to any and all who sustain them
shall be limited only by my power, not by
my will. The present crisis demands
First. That all true patriots should stand
by the president in his honest efforts to crush
the rebellion, and that they should cheerfully,
patiently, and unitedly furnish whatever
means are requisite to this end.
Second. That we should preserve our
country ENTIRE, without the loss of single
star of her banner or foot from her soil
Rebels only can secede.
Third. That more must be done than to
overcome the rebel states with victorious
army. We must regenerate those states by
re-peopling them, and, by the infusion of new,
pure and free blood, create permanent 10y
atty and higher destiny. Less thus than will
give us neither peace nor union.
Fourth. That theorist and word-mongers
are not the men for these times. Only work.
ers are now needed
From 'corhs then let my words no longer
hinder either you or myself
Very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
ELI THAYER

HoN ELI THAYER was at home a short time
last week, returning to Washington Friday
night While here, he received and declined
the peoples" democratic party nomination
for congress, for the unexpired term OF Mr..
Bailey. His letter, which we publish con-
firms what his personal friends very well
knew before-that his views and sympathies
are in favor of the war policy of the president
without any qualification or mental reserva-
ton whatever. He expresses the sentiment
of the most pronounced advocates of emanci-
patton, in saying that the country must be re-
generated in order to be preserved.

BREAKING UP OF THE FIFTY FoURTH REGI-
MENT.-It is understood that orders have been
issued by the adjutant general for the removal
of Captains Stiles, Cogswel's, and Davis
companies, of the 54th regiment. to the camp
at Readville, where they are to join the 42d
regiment; and for Captains Prouty's and Bas-
com's companies to join the 5lst regiment;
while the Emmett Guards are to join one of
the new Irish regiments. The matter has
caused considerable feeling among the men
of the 9th. The men of the companies GO
ing to Readville received on Saturday three
days furlough, and on Thursday they pro-
coed to their new destination.

FERNANDO WooD ON THE CONSERVATIVE
TRACK.-HE WANTS AN ABLE AND BOLD TY-
RANT.-Fernando Wood had ratification
meeting in Brooklyn, Friday evening, at
which, after general denunciation of New
England and New England men, he said: If
elected to congress he should not go to Wash
ingtOn to support the administration. 1t had
not power or disposition to perform its pur-
poses. If Mr.. Lincoln would not respond to
the voice from Ohio, Pennsylvania and In
diana, as Washington had been the first presi-
dent so he would be the last.
''My word for it, (said Wood, if this gov
eminent is to be destroyed, a despotsm will
succeed, these great armies will eventually
find some bold, some popular commander,
who will see the wreck OF our civil polity,
which is going on around him, and he, follow

| And let me say that if am to live under a
tyrant, | want an able and bold tyrant, want
no petty despotism to suppress my free
speech. That is right our fathers gave us,
one that we have always stood by, and if it is
to be taken away from us, why we cease to
live under republic; a despotism has come
upon us, and If a despotism has come, and if
w arc " nave lyldnli IL we are 10 De no
longer treemen and republicans, why, want
a splendid, brilliant ruler, one that has nerve
and brain, and is equal to the emergency"
He did not believe that by military tri-
umphs it was possible to triumph, but that
the south would come back if we would give
her democratic administration. Mr.. Wood
did not say that he meant the democratic adj
ministration of Jefferson Davis; but he did
say that this was the only reason why he had
become candidate for congresn. Under our
theory of government the bullet could not be

instituted for us the ballot. After all the

negotiation and concession. After all the
fighting it had to be settled by men coming to.

The SPRINGFIELD MEETING.-The support
ers of the Faneul Hall nominations held a
mass meeting at Springfield Friday. Asa po-
litical demonstration it was not successful
The whole state was placed under requisition
Boston setting the example with several car
loads, and Gilmore's celebrated band Yet,
all accounts agree that the afternoon session
was not largely attended, actual count plac-
ing the number at seven hundred. The speak
ing was in the hands of the luminarieS of the
party. The meeting was chiefly noticeable
for having placed Charles Francis Adams in
nomination for United States senator. 1t was
entirely safe for them to do so, since Mr.. Ad-
ans is in London, whittier no electric current
can carry the news to him till many days after
the election is decided. They do not believe
Mr.. Adams would consent for 4 moment to be
party to the scheme which seeks the protec-
ton of his name. The political life OF Mr.
Adams has been devoted to principles with
which the managers of this movement have no
fellowship. They are not friends to him who
avail themselves of lis high reputation and
good name with the people of this state to
strengthen movement against the admins
tration. The whole scheme is delusion and
snare. Its authors can have no expectation
of success even under the shadow of his name
They would have taken any other that would
have served their purpose as well. They
would have conspired against him as ear
nestly as they now do against Gov. Andrew
and senator Sumner, if circumstances had
made him as conspicuously representative
OF Massachusetts repnblicanism as they are
1t is an old device which will not accomplish
its purpose. If Mr.. Adams were here he
would be one of the most earnest advocates of
Mr.. Summers reelection.
