MASSACHufSETTS.

The phase of Massachusetts, politics as
the convention for the nomination of re-
publican candidate for governor approaches
is somewhat peculiar, and not flattering to
the prospects of Governor Talbot for the
nomination. 1t does not proceed from the
want of personal virtues or the lack of the
performance of noble deeds by the present
acting governor, nor that they are unappre-
ciated bv his party, but rather from the
efforts of his friends to force an issue
which the republican party of Massa-
chusetts have heretofore expressly declined
to make. The convention Of last year
deemed that it was not their province to
force upon minority of the party ques.
ton not sustained by the public sentiment,
in enacting and enforcing sumptuary
statutes relating to the prohibtory law.
The delegates, in large numbers, thus
far, are reported as opposed to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Talbot. Other influential
candidates retired from the canvass with
the view of giving him clear field. Many
large towns outside of the cities have
elected delegates opposed TO him, showing
his intrinsic weakness as the leader Of the
republicans of the old commonwealth. 1t
is said that if the name of Influential and
leading republican had been presented the
race would have been easy to him. This
strong public sentiment shows the unmis
taxable unwillingnUss of the mass of the
republicans of that state TO adopt as the
tenets of the party--thc enactment
of sumptuary laws. 1t is feared
Even should Governor Talbot receive the
nomination he may be defeated before the
people. upon that issue alone, even in the
strong republican commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts. We trust that wise counsels
will prevail in the convention, and that
such nominations will be made and such
action taken as to prevent democratic
triumph, which surely the republican party
cannot afford at the present time, espec-
tally in its weakness as demonstrated in
many sections, growing out of The transac-
tons of some of its leaders. The republi.
can party has glorious record, and Its in
tegrity should be maintained If possible,
with the hope of purging it of the abuses
that e clinging TO it, and eading good
and true men to turn away from its sup

These words of the Great Leader indi-
cate his Intentions to make his system of
faith and practice to be known, co-exten-
sively with the whole earth. And from
the time they fell from his lips, to the
present hour, OF for more than eighteen
hundred years, the missionary spirit of
christianity has prominently marked its
history. Indeed, without taking into the
account this salient feature in its character
christianity would hardly have history at
all.

obscure, and, so far as human wisdom
would judge. under the most unpromising
conditions. No princely palace gave birth

have been given to proceed immedi-

musket, model 1874 (system Gras).
Those weapons will only be construct

Then only will the new arm be placed

The chassepots will be Withdrawn, and
