the tried and approved loyalty Of the northern
heart for his support and justification.

The Boston Courier states positively that 1t
ran he proved that Gov. Andrew declared in
New York a few days ago, that the govern
mcnt should not have a man from Massachu-
sets until the change in the command of the
army was etlected-that is, Mcclellan super
cedcd. We do not believe this, but similar
stories come from so many sources that the
governor or some authorized friend should set
the scandal at rest if it has no foundation
Springfield Republican.
The only sources" from which ''this and
similar stories come. are the New York Her
aid and the Boston Courier. These unmarked
and habitual fllSifers would really do little
harm, If journals Of responsible character were
not in the habit OF giving circulation and cur
rency to their ISLANDERS. For example the
Heralds forged reports of the meeting of loyal
governors at Altoona last Thursday and Fri
day, were copied in Boston and elsewhere
as if they were true; but not one of the jour
mails which SO copied them gives line or al
fusion to the contradiction which the Herald
itself was compelled to make of its infamous
forgeries on Saturday. These men who put
their shameless wares into market have pur-
pose to gain in the elections, now very near,
which nothing but calumny will serve. If
they get encouragement from people, who,
like the acting editor of the Republican, seem
willing to have the popular prestige of the
the state executive broken, and who, in the
face Of the transparentinteg Of his official
career, imply distrust of his just merit, it is
a temporary gain for the slanderers, to be
sure; but no permanent loss to Gov. Andrew,
or any honest man, who like him has been
wantonly accused. The Boston Transcript of
last evening has the following comments on
the statement of the Courier: ''The above
paragraph is utterly false. We pronounce it
so, upon the highest authority, and call upon
the Courier for its proofs of the statement in
the last sentence. Let the lie be branded up
on these slanderers Of the governor of Massa-
chusetts.'
Coon Work IN New BEDFoRD.-The re-
publicans of New Bedford, at a well attended
caucus, Saturday evening, unanimously adopt
ed resolutions endorsing the presidents pro-
clamation of emancipation, pledging them
selves to the election of senator and repre-
sentatives who will vote for the reelection of
Mr.. Sumner to the senate and warmly and
cordially recommending the denomination Of
Hon. Thomas D. Eliot to the house Of repre-
sentatives. The delegates chosen for the
congressional convention were friends of Mr..
Eliot.

SoUTHBoRo.-On Sunday last, G. Wesley
Nichols, aged twenty years-son of Mr.. Oren
Nichols-a private in the sixteenth regiment
Massachusetts volunteers, having died of fe-
yer in the hospital at Newark, New Jersey,
was buried with military honors at Southboro.
The Home Guards, commanded by Capt, Cur
It's Newton, repaired to the house of the father
Of the deceased, accompanied by the Ashland
brass band, and escorted the procession to the
centre of the town. Before they entered the
Orthodox meeting house, at which place the
services were to be held, they were Joined by
the Rockland division OF sons of temperance,
Of which the deceased was a member. A ser
mon was preached by Rev. Mr., Breed, pastor
Of the Orthodox society The clergymen Of
the other societies in town omitted their usual
afternoon services and were present, by invi-
tation, to take part in the services. The
large meeting house was quite insufficient to
hold the audience. The devotional ex-
ercises were quite lengthy. At the close
OF these services the procession was again
formed. The home guards-preceded by the
aged past officers, Col. Dexter Fay, Col. Ar
temas Fay Capt. Isaac Smith, and Capt. VIM.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with the Sons of Tenn
perance, acted as escort. In the rear of the
mourners We're a large number Of citizens.
The procession, numbering some twelve or
fifteen hundred, marched to the grave in the
new cemetery. After the coffin had been de-
posted in the grave, three yoIleys were fired
over it. The burial service of the Sons of
Temperance, accompanied by some excellent
and appropriate remarks, was read by Rev.
d. S. Whitney, chaplain of the Rocllawn
division. As its members passed the grave,
each one threw sprig of evergreen on to the
coffin, accompanying the act with Farewell
brother" Thus do the people of Southboro
manifest their respect and affection toward
her brave and patriotic soldiers DIN.

Gen. Lee is a precious specimen Of a rebel
He asks time to bury his dead; it is granted; ;
he employs the occasion to run of, gets on the
other side Of the river, and sends home dis
patch claiming a victory!
Lord Wentworth, the grandson of Lord By
ron, lately died in England, twenty-seyen
years old. He was an ardent lover of liberty
and equal human rights, and in honest labor
sought his own independence.
Should the rebellion continue in its present
shape until the first OF january next, the
number Of slaves which will on that day be
nominally emancipated, under the proclama-
ton of the president, will be about three mil
lion five hundred thousand.
The constitutional union committee of New
York state have issued q circular recommends
ing the members Of that party to support the
democratic ticket for state officers, headed by
Mr. Seymour for governor, at the election in
November next.

GEN. WADswoRTH, who is to be governor
of New York, made a noble speech in Wash
ington, Saturday evening, which should cause
the hearts of all good citizens to warm toward
him and the cause he represents. 1t is COM
pensation for a great many sacrifices, that
such sentiments could be spoken in the capt.
tai, and that an awakened and aroused people
should instinctiyely pronounce them just.
Having stated that previous to the outbreak
of the rebellion, he had on all proper occa-
sions advocated and supported what were
known as the compromises and concessions
in behalf of slavery, he added; =
But secession and war, bloody and relent-
less war, have changed our relations to that
which is the cause and the source Of the war.
We have the right, we are bound moreoverby
the most solemn obligations of duty, to use
this agency, so far as we can, to put an end
to this struggle, and to save the lives of white
men who are perishing by thousands in this
country. How long are we to bear the inso-
lence of this southern aristocracy? Have we
not borne it long enough? Has it not long
enough disturbed and distracted our counsels,
and paralyzed our energies? Has it not
long enough paralyzed the energies of the
country Nay luOIes Has IL not long enough,
in the eyes of the other civilized ma
tons of the world, covered us with
infamy? But, be that as it may, the
issue is made up, and we must conquer it or
be conquered by it. We are in the pangs of
dissolution, or we are in the pangs Of eXor-
cism. If we would save ourselves, we must
cast out the devil which has tormented and dis
graced us from the hour of our national birth.
We want peace, but more than we want peace.
we want a country. We want peace but we
want an honorable peace, permanent peace,
solid peace. When we have achieved that
we shall commence on career Of prosperity
such as we have never known We shall
spring up at one bound to be the freest and
the happest people on the face of the earth.
These were the closing words of a speech
full, as the Evening Post styles it, sof the
most ardent patriotism. The sentences, ring
ing like the crack of rifle, are those of a
sincere and intelligent lover of liberty; Of
man who appreciates the full meaning Of the
great struggle in which we are engaged
against a wicked band Of aristocrats who hum
ger for the liberties of the American people,
and who would bring upon their country every
evil and every disgrace, rather than submit to
laws which they helped to make, and which
were but too liberal toward them" That such
a man is to be placed at the head Of that inn
peral state, gives encouragement that its great
influence will be consistently earnestly, radi-
caliy on the right side Of the questions rising
during the next year Of the rebellion-if it
should not be earlier subjugated

WORCES TER:
TUES DAY. SEPT. 80, 1869.

THE old party of the southern secessiohlSts
ought to be dead beyond the possibility OF res
direction. 1t bred reasonable conspiracy
to destroy the republic and brought upon the
country this bloody and ruinous civil war. 1t
should disappear forever, to be remembered
only as bad things are remembered in history.
And yet all through the loyal states there are
men far more in earnest to restore the party
that bred traitors and gave lis president Blu
chanan, with that infamous nest of treason
called his cabinet than to crush the rebellion.
Those engaged in this business do not mean
to crush the rebellion. They aim to form an
alliance with it, by means of negotiations Of
peace" as the Boston Courier phrases it.
1t is this that has moved such papers as
the Boston Courier, Boston Post, and New
York Herald, to contrive and circulate false
hoods inregard to the meeting of governors at
Altoona. More deliberate, INSCRIPTIONS "
ing was never heard of It began as soon as
the possibility of such meeting was suggest
cd and it still continues, although facts and
circumstances have so fully exposed it that

mouths and crawled out of sight several days
since. The purpose OF these shameless ca
lumnies was to foment disputes and dissen-
sions in the loyal states, so as to prepare
party here to engage in negotiations ofpeace"
and political union with the rebel leaders,
when the time shall be ripe for such business.
This is why such things are done.
1t is an insult to truth to call such men
honest and earnest patriots. They are malig-
nant partizans in search Of any political alli-
ance that will give them power, uphold slave
ry, and destroy republicans. Every secession
traitor in the north belongs to their party and
howls with them at the conference of the loyal
governors. Every half traitorous apologist
for slavery is in their ranks. Ex-senator
Bright, Fernando Wood and Vallandigham of
Ohio, are among their foremost leaders, and
the Boston Courier is their jackal. They have
with them the knights of the Golden Circle,
which is part Of the organized treason of the
slavery extremists. Every element of sympa-
thy with the secession conspirators is drawn
to this party by the force of elective affinity;
they meanwhile doing precisely what any min
ions Of JEFF Davis would do in similar circum-
stances
The purpose of the governors in holding a
conference was in the highest degree patriotic.
They met to devise methods for supporting
the federal government with more vigor and
success, to arrange concerted action for the
benefit Of our soldiers in the field and the
hospitals and to do or prepare to do what
ever might be possible, at the present time,
to secure the eompletest harmony and eff
cheney Of action among the loyal states, in
sustaining the president. There never was a
palmer case OF duty than that which brought
them together; and there never was Il palmer
case of teaeherous trihing with the welfare
of the republic than that Of their calumnia-
tors.
