We knew very well that Hon. Charles
Francis Adams would not allow his name
to be used in opposition to the reelection
of senator Sumner. The following letter
from his son settles the question:
To the editors ofthe Boston Daily Adreyfiser:
Gentlemen-My attention has been called
to series of resolutions, reported to have
been adopted at a meeting of the peoples
party, which assembled at Springfield on Fri
day last, TO ratity the action of the convention
recently held in Eaneuil Hell. The last of
these resolutions recommends Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams to the support OF the party,
as proper candidate tor election to the
senate Of the United States tor the six years
next following the expiration of the term of
the Hon. Charles Sumner.
As there seems to be no pretence that this
meeting at Springfield was duly authorized
nominating convention, its acts are in strict
ness only the expression of opinion of the in
dlylduals assembled Yet the call by virtue
OF which 1t met, its organization. composition
and proceedings seem to identify it so fully
| in all material points with the convention at
Faneuil Hall, that l venture to assume that
these resolutions embody the sense of the
party and define its course and policy. This
policy seems to be to present the name of Mr..
Adams to the people at tine impending cleo
| tions for the legislature of this commonwealth,
as Il candidate for the senate of the United
States in opposition to Mr.. Sumner. and
thereby to distract and divide in some degree
the republican party, and to influence in favor
OF the candidates Of the peoples party the re-
suits of the elections in the various represen-
tative and senatorial districts.

lance which Mr. 4 11nlz attaches m u,,it all

THE LEGISLATURE AND Mr.. SUMNER
The editor of the Taunton Gazette, A. NJ.
Ide, Jr., a supporter of the Breckenridge
ticket in the last presidential election speaks
as follows of Senator Sumner, and of the
propriety of making his reelection a test in
the Legislative elections =
''The open hostility of his (Mr. Sumner's)
most malignant opposers is more honorable
than the nOn-committal dodge Of mis- equally
inveterate enemies. Both are distinctly in
contrast with the spirit and methods of Mr..
Sumner, in this, as well as in other contests.
His argument Is not mixed with any malice
He is scrupulously frank and sincere towards
all, and meets friend or foe alike, with trans
parent creed, which he will neither conceal or
compromise He stands before the people of
the commonwealth as mantully as Mr.. Doug
las went before the masses of Illinois to
achieve his last memorable political triumph.
To assume that men will vote bindly in such
a contest is to charge them with Il culpa-
bic Indifference. To refer the decision OF the
question to a legislative jury-dratted at
hap-hazard, like the Boston quotas to trihe
with the ballot box and abuse the legislative
office. The settlement of the contest belongs
to the people. With all its bitterness, it is
scarcely doubtful. The efforts to separate
Mr.. Sumner from the administration, in the
issue made up against him-the eXpedient of
unfolding the president and denouncing a
statesman who stands so near him in all His
public relations-is entitled to fail. Mr.. S.
is leader, supporter, and exponent of the add
minstration, no less than the true representa-
tive of Massachusetts opinion. To destroy
this two-fold representative character, the OPP
position will have to revolutionize Massachu-
sets sentiment and reverse the action Of the
government.
1.-The return of Mr.. Sumner to the senate,
more than any other event, will hold them
clearly in harmony, and give confidence tothe
loyal prayer of the nation that in the final
reckoning with this rebellion treason may not
be rewarded, and the Union cursed by new
concessions and guarantees to an institution
which is forfeit by its own enormous crime
against government; but that liberty may
arise from the red baptism of the battlefield
to assert her sole supremacy upon the soil of
every state which has ever set its star upon
the standard which floats forever in her sacred
name"

The SENATORIAL ELECTION The Boston
Traveller devotes an able and elaborate arti-
Gle to the senatorial election, and closes with
the following paragraphs
The personal hostility that some men feel
against Mr.. Sumner dates from afar. 1t goes
back to lS47, when the conscience" move
ment began in the old wing party of Massa-
chusettS, and was directed against what was
known as the cotton" branch of that power
full organization. Out of that movement came
the free soil party, the union of which with
the democracy caused the overthrow of the
wings, and led to the election of Mr.. Sumner
to the senate. He became the most conspic-
uous member of the coalition, though he had
but little to do with those ARRANGEMENTS by
which the coalition was efiected-less than
any other man OF note i'll both parties to it.
But as he is the sole official survivor of the
coalition, and his presence iii the senate has
kept alive the hatred of which he became the
especial object fifteen years ago, and which
| began to show itself before the coalition had
been thought Of
The people of Massachusetts are now asked
to lend their assistance to the qualification of
the personal dislike of certain persons who
have proved that they are good haters."
With this request they will not comply. for
they can have nothing to do. They can not
sympathise with Mr.. Summers foes. He rep.
resents the sentiments of Massachusetts bet
ter than any other man who can be named,
and he will be reelected to the senate be-
cause he is the best type of the principles best
loved by the people Of this state. The repub-
hcans will triumph in Massachusetts because

ANOTHER WITNEss.-Hon. Chester l. Reed
of Taunton, having received the peoples"
nomination for district attorney, follows the
example Of host of other victims of that ra-
pacious party, and declines. In his letter of
declination, he says IL am neither men,
Der Of that party nor a well wisher of it. In
my judgment, the only end which in this juno
ture is to be striyen for by any political party,
is the prompt, vigorous and successful prose-
cution of this war, and by that means a resto-
ration of the national government over the
whole of our national domain As l under
stand it, this is what the republican party is
striving for and whatsoever is not with them
is against them'-whosoever opposes them as
party, is working against the ends which as

The southern Unionists held meeting at
Cooper's Institute, New York, Saturday eve
ming, at which the speakers were Mr.. Hamil-
ton of Texas, Rev. w. B. Carter of Tennes-
see, 7. j. Boynton, Esq, of Florida, and
Rev. Mr.. Hoye of Mississippi At this meet
ing Rev. Mr.. Carter said:-
ale did sometimes like to hit the copper
heads. (Cheers.) He hated the serpent
whenever he found it, north and south. Gap
plause.) While he hated treason south, he
hated treason north; for while there might be
some apology for it south, there was not the
least shadow of apology for it north. He
wished to remind the editors of New York,
and he did 1t for practical purpose, that of all
the helps which secession received in the
south two years ago, none was greater than
that from certain class Of the northern press.
('Herald" Herald! Expressly Mr.. Carter
continued You know them better than do,
gentlemen. In these papers we found the
very arguments which southern rebels use
against us. What was the character of those
arguments? Eternally prating about south
ern rights and northern aggreSsions. And
that Is what our papers are doing now. | beg
these editors, for the sake Of our common
country, for the sake Of the weeping and per-
ishing thousands OF loyal men in the south,
to cease traducing their own government and
to sustain that government"
Mr.. Boynton said =
"a good rule for voting is for the man the
rebels hate the worst. The difference be-
tween a rebel and an anti coercionist or Il
| conventionist is not measurable. Things
which are equal to the same thing are equal to
each other (Applause.) 1t is hardly too
much to say OF the man who opposed or OPP
poses vigorous coercion: the spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak. 30 him who in the
love Of treason holds communion with her Wis
ible form she speaks various language
Sometimes we find her in open arms against
authority-her least dishonOrabe shape
sometimes in the pulpit; too often under the
cloak ofthe man who smiles and smiles and is
a villain, and talks Of compromises and con-
Uventions. CA yoice-'John Van Buren.)"
Rev. Mr. Hoye gave an account of his ex-
periences of the rebellion, and said in clos
ing =
"The causes of the rebellion have been set
forth; | need not say anything in regard to
that. The only other question | have been
asked is this: VIII there be harmony of feel
ing between the southern and northern states
hereafter? l say there will not so long as
this institution Of slavery exists Cloud APP
plause.) But let that institution be eradicat-
ed, and there is no obstacle to harmony.
There is no feeling of resentment between
the Maineites and the MiSsissippians which
may not pass away, and as for the loyal Mis-
sissippians, they demand the protection of the
star-Spangled banner, and have reason to de-
test the protection of the stars and bars, as

TlHx SPRINGFIELD RFaSBAcAN has c9are
TO the conclusion that tlse peoples ssove-
ggent in this state Is = failure, Tic tide is
against it. The people of Massachusetts can
not be induced te sustain tsevement that
means active hostility TO the estional admins
tra,ios, After describing the Faneuil Hall
couveaticI, without notice of the fact that the
pditer Of the Boston Pest nominated the cam
didate fer governor, The Republican says =
well, they atade their nominations and
Adjourned; and the next day the democrats at
Worcester Hacked their dish over. Their
adoption ct the peoples ticket, after having
passed q set Of offensive party resolutions,
and making the usual preparations for the
pcrpetuation Of the party organization and
machinery, was most decided damage to the
ticket, and a killing stab at the whole move
ment. The Worcester democratic conven-
ton said to the people of Massachusetts, by
their action, simply this: we are party men,
still. Our sympathies are with the slavehold-
ers still, and we have no idea of giving up our
party at all. We happen TO be weak, and
can do nothing in the state without help We
hate Charles Sumner and Gov. Andrew, and
we will go in with any organization to accom-
plish their overthrow. OF course, we should
not lit, if we did not see that in the end it
would conduce to our party interests
''Now we dislike to say all this; but it is
true. We dislike to say this, because this
idea of relinquishing party, and coming to-
| gether as people, has been a dream of ours
that everything good within us has declared
ought to come true. Yet it is not coming
true. Nobody could have attended the meet
Jugs on Friday and Saturday evenings without
| noticing the difference between them. The
| peoples gathering was large, but with all its
warmth it was full of questionerS-full of men
who, agreeing with all that was said, were
afraid they were to be taken in. The Sumner
meeting of Saturday was an assemblage of
men fixed in purpose, enthusiastic in their
feelings, and conscious of their strength"
The Republican adds =
eve take it that the peoples movement
has made all the converts it will in this cam
paign. Republicans are afraid of it, however
much they may sympathize with its objects.
They are afraid of giving aid and comfort to
that party in whose hands the government
went to pieces, and in whose success the reb-
els, for some reason which seems good to
them, take the liveliest interest and satisfac-
| ton. There is no question, we suppose, that,
if Gen. Devens should be elected governor,
MS electOn would ne Claimed by the Boston
Post as at least an event which the democratic
party everywhere should rejoice in. We have
seen in the Post no condemnation of the ac-
ton Of its party at Worcester, and no endorse
ment Of Mr.. Adams as the candidate for the
senate in place of Mr.. Sumner"
The peoples" democratic party is now
caving in sadly, even in and around Boston,
the chief seat of its influence Massachusetts
will not allow herself to be arraycd in hostili-
ty to the president and his war policy. She
will not aid and comfort traitors.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, ]

OCls 20, 1OOZ.
My Dear Sir: l am much surprised by the
statement you say has been made by one who
ought to know, that the government intends
to refuse payment of the five per cent and
four per cent. temporary deposits in anything
but ilve-twenties. l certainly have never en-
tertained thought of paying them in any
thlng except the currency in which they were
received-that is to say, United States notes
unless, indeed, they are paid in
gold. The idea that they are to be paid in
anything but money, however, is only about
as absurd and groundless as the statement
that the national debt amounts to two thou
sand million dollars and yet this statement
was gravely put forth in the leading resolu-
ton of the conservative convention which met
the other day in Faneuil Hall. On the day
that resolution was adopted, the national debt
amounted to less than six hundred and forty
million Of dollars | wish | had Thought
Of it, and | would have obtained the pre-
else figures at the department before | came
down, am writing atmy houSe) and would
have given them to you. Six hundred and
forty millions, compared with what we have
to show for the expenditure of our part of if.
seventy odd millions, you know, was the
legacy Of the Buchanan Administrations
bad enough. | certainly do not contemnlote
1t with complacency. With still less compa.
cency DO l contemplate its increase actual
since the resolution was adopted and pros
pectlye for the year. at the rate nf
million and Il quarter day. But still six
hundred and forty millions is not two thou
sand millions, nor do think it wise or patri-
otc to say two thousand when six hundred
ana forty represents the truth. 1t was said
doubtless by mistake. You may show this
letter to whom you please, and if you choose.
though 1t is written with running pen, as you
see, print the substance of it.
Yours faithfully,

Washington, d. c.:
Ny Dear SOL have had $500, 900 on de-
post with our assistant treasurer for some
time at per cent, and have Just placed an
other Sl50,000 with him, and l have advised
others to do so. One of my friends, who has
deposited half a million in this way, was eau
toned to day, by one who ought to know, and
processes that he does know, that the govern
ment intend to refuse payments of these de-
posts, and compel the holders to fund them
in five twenties. | ridiculed the idea, mas
much as | have stated that the loan was pecul-
larll elastic and safe, from the fact that the
law requires you TO keep back fifty millions
OF demand notes, to respond to this very de-.
mand loan My object in writing is to be au-
thorized by you to contradict the story, for
otherwise the banks would be compelled to
draw at once their amounts. And if contra
dlcted, as | doubt not it will be, we shall 90
on and deposit more. One president told me
to-day he was going to do so, but should wait
for your reply to my inquiry. | trust you
have entirely recovered, or may soon do SO.

Griffin, who was sent back to his command by
Gen. Fitz John Porter before his evidence

that charges would be preferred against him
