all to God. We make, therefore. no captious
criticisms of his acts and declarations; We
burden him with no hasty or partisan policy /;
we offer no conditions to our patriotism. We
resolve that Massachusetts,, with all her heart
and soul, and mind and strength will sup
port the President of the United States in
the prosecution of this rebellion.
The last two resolutions are as follows:
Resolred, That we offer the thanks of this
convention to the loyal States Of the border
for their devotion to the Union, the Consti-
tuition, and the flag. We know what they
have suffered. We know against whom they
contend. We know the strength OF their
natriotism. 1t is firm and true when hostile
armies encamp upon their soil and devastate
their homes and we brand as false and wick
ed the imputation of fanatics and partisaps
that their loyalty is doubtful, aud therefore
their counsel should be spurned. God bless
MARYLAND for the last proof of her fidelity
God bless the brave State of Kentucky cursed
to-day by the tread of the rebel army! Her
people are our people, her cause is our cause,
and it is our proud confidence that she will
pass through her present trial with her fair
fame uutarnished, and while she routs those
who have invaded her, will confound those
who have slandsred her.
Resolved, That Massachusetts, responds
with full heart to the acclaim with which the
army of Virginia greeted the appointment to
its command of Major General George B.
Mcclellan. Let all irregular, irresponsible
intermeddling with his command of the ar
my, whether in high places or in low, by let

next day at Worcester, but, on . motion to
adopt tho Peoples ticket nominated at Fan
Gull Hall, the convention adjourned amid
great confusion, without clearly leaving any
record Of It's astion.

Ea-The London Times says the rebel

Re- The London Times says the rebel
army has sustained a disastrous defeat in
Maryland, but that it retired in good order
and fully maintained its reputation for cour-
aye and determination. The rebel army
measured its strength with the army under
General Mcclellan, and tho former did not
succeed in defeating the latter. The army
of Mcclellan, demoralized by successive fail
ures and long retreats, has suddenly proved
itself equal, probably superior, to the rebel
army elated as it was with triumph and bent
upon continued conquest. This sudden turn
of fortune is without doubt traceable to the
liberation Of General Mcclellan from the re-
straints heretofore imposed upon him. lie
has now shown that he has real qualifications
for a commander.
