Bostow, Oct. 21, 1854, The Action of the Know Nothinp—Mr Gardner—Mr. Brown— Democratic Oongrestional Nominations—Mr. Howland—Mr, Avery—Mr. Spinney—Mr. Parmenter. The Kaow Notbing State Convention met here on the 18th—enI wrote you it would a month ago, and was flatly ecntradicted here for my pairs—and consis‘ed of a thou- sand members and upwards, being the largest and most spirited political body thet has assembled in Massacha- setts this year. There can be no doubt whatever of the truth of the statement of the nominations for Governor anc Li utenant-Governor having been conferred on Hen- 1y J Gerdner, of Boston, and Simon Brown, of Concord— ‘8 division of the spoils between the whigs and the demo- crats in a vot unfsir propoition to their importance ia this community Mr. Gardner, I think I have reason for saying, cwea his nominativa to the Wilson influence, which was finally thrown for him. There were four ba lotings, during which votes were cast for Messrs. Weight, Wilder, Bryant, Brown, Wilson ani Thayer, and My. Wilder beiog found ineligible, was dropped on the fourth balloting Mr. Gardner bad not a vote on the first and seoond ballotings, and on the third 396. At the fourtn his vote was 623, out of 988. Mr. Brown was nominated without op :osition Every one likes t> know something about » semarkabls man, even if he be a Know Nething. To gratify this ra- teva! curiosity, I will state that Hoary J. Gardner is a membsr of the firm of Denny, Kice & Gardner, dry goods merchants, of Boston. Ho was born ia Dorchester, on ‘the 14th of sune, 1819, and is therefore but little past thirty-five years, and is the youngest man ever run for Gcvernor here, except Mr Boutwell, who wa: but thirty. oxe when hewas first put up Henry Vane, who was Goversor sore than two hundred years ago, was only about two anc twenty; but then be +as Governor, and Mr. Gerdner, as yet, is but a candidate for thet exalted station. Mr. Gardner was graduated at Bowdoin Colles, a Me.,) when about rineteen yearsold. His t appesrance in pub‘ic lie was in 1850, when he eu- tered the City Council of Boston, wiere ie served four angcenalve years, being President of that body in 1852 an4 1868. Jv 1862 and 1863 ho was one of the Represeats- tives of Borton im the tars, and in ha mes oleated & delegate to the Conatitations] Contention.

New York, Oct. 25, 1854, TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Differing as you end 1 do upon almost every politioal subject, it is ® source of personal congratulation to kno that theze is, however, one point upon which we exactly agree, and that is, in our opposition to William H Seward, ond his treasonable doctrines. Without descending to servile adulation, I cannot withhold the expression of my admiration of the bold, fearless and consistent opposition of the Hesatp to Mr. Seward and his dengerons aud fanatical desige s. 1am led to make these few remarks from ths perusal of an article which appvared in your journal a doy or two since, in which the ‘mpor‘anes of the ensutog Legisli- ture, and @ judicious selection of Assemblymen, was the subject of somment. 1ill I read that articls, I had not cemprenended toe magnitude of the issue involved, beenuae, like many others, 1 had quite overlooked the Aesembdly nominatiras, amid the maltiplict:y of candi. Gat the higher offices. ‘ihe article to which I r-fer the key to the extraordinary efforts of rad owhigs, to secure for the Asiem- bly persons identifed with his principles, and thereby procure his return to the Unitsi ‘States Penate. Inceed, it haa since coms to my knowedge thst Sewsrd’s instrustions have been to concede and barter away every thing, if vec ssary, co that mem ers of the assemoly favoceble to his in exeaty be gpoured. Now, tic, asa Unioz whig, I feel iniebtea to for the important suggestion contained in tue a: which Bieter, and it may be gr.tifying to you to kuow that a@novement is now on foot by the antiSevard whigs in overy Assembly district, by which the peati- mente of each candidate will te fully ascertained, ani [ venture to predict that not a man will be elected who ia even remotely suzpeoted of fraternigavion with William df Seward. )our cbedient sorvsat, A UNIUN ¥HIG, Fi‘tsenth ward, THE PRACTICAL DEMOCRATS.
