H. Hope's Jasper . Coupe—The Etkington Pavilion, Gt. Gee It is now some time since 1 reoalled the attention of your readers to the Paris Exhibition. The days of its earthly pilgrimage are waxing few. The summer has passed away; it is in the sear and yellow leaf of autumn; old winter howls in ihe distance, and the grand Universal Exhibition, the gubject of so much fertile speculation, of so many abortive enterprises, of so much eager rivalry, of such world-wide interest, of such heralding and proclamation, of such pageantry and royal and im- perial magnificence, must die and fade away like the baseless fabric of a vision. Still it would not be jnst to see it depart without a word of regret and ecognition of its extraordinary merits. That it has ‘much to answer before the high tribunal of public opinion cannot be denied. By its loud cries and trumpet blowing, it almost put the world out of joint to make way for it. Fortwo years and more every grand speculation in commerce, which wore any aspect of novelty , was either ushered in or wound up with some reference to the great Universal Mxhi- bition, and when the long expected babe made its appearance, lo, it had all the abortive characteristics of a child born ont of time. For three months after it saw the light it was handed from one nurse to another, physicked, rocked, patched up and purged, and it is only when all the world had grown disgusted with its convulsive contortions, its hideous grimaces and its uncleanly state, that suddenly it sprung up, threw aside every appearance of disease, and glanced around with such bewitching smiles that it became an object of interest and affection to everybody. As it stands now, notwithstanding many, solecisms in its classifi- cation, it must still be allowed to be the most aston- ishing monument of the 1%th century. That it has not attracted the same intense curiosity as its prede- cessor in England, in 1861, is an admitted fact, although immensely its superior. ‘The London ex- hibition had the charm of novelty; it had the ad- vantage of a unanimous press keeping up unbroken peeans of praise; the world filled its inauguration with ail sorts of mysterious results that were to flow from it. None of the imitations, however, have suc- ceeded; and though from tho high position taken in 1851 by France, from the well known ingenuity of the country, from its somewhat selflaudatory tone, much was expected, ils nutter want of punctuality gave it a shock at ihe commencement which no sub- sequent success could recover. As a commercial speculation, the exhibition has been ruinous to itself and to every one who has mixed himself’ up with it, and it may, I think, be safely predicted that another Universal Exhibition will never be attempted in the present century. Let us linger, while we may, overa few of its beauties. Much has been said of the bronzes of Paris, bat justice has scarcely been done to their great merit. This trade employs a hundred thousand of the population ot tne city, and calls forth in the designing, casting and chiseling a degree of skilled labor which renders many of the subordinate work- men ona par with the most respectable pupils of the pencil. The works produced are repetitions of the sublime originals handed down to us from the palmy days of Greece, or the middle ages, and a rc through the corridors of that portion of the position eet apart forthe display of this manu- facture is a miniature peep atthe beauties of Ver- ailles or the treasures of the Louvre. In the redne- tioa of the models not line or the millionth part of a curve has been lost, and the expression and gene ral pose are as true tothe original as the dial to the sun. Among the more modern illustrations is one by M. Delasalle, which has been purchased by the Emperor. It is a pendule, perhaps three fect high. The ies. vi saan in golden letters on the tal, which isa block of black marble. The Italie” is surrounded by sn immortel of green bronze. Atthe four corners of the pedestal stand two drummers and two trumpeters, dressed in the style of the old republican army. The drummer wears the cocked hat, the long loose coat, the high black leggings coiling far above the knee, which ny the drum he is inthe act of artisticali pe a The look of resolute _siernness with whic! he sete about his work, lis ficree moustache and flowing pigtail, gives to him asirange air of enthu- dasa perfectly in keeping with the times in which he gloriously “beat t charge,” and which contrast curiously with the appearance of the modern French soldier. The tram- peter is no less remarkable. On his head is a cap, which hangsdown to his shoulders; his hair drops to his waist in plaits; his coat reaches his heels; and as he raises the trampet to his lips, he seems to challenge the whole wortd to come on and eross swords with the youthful commander of the Army of Italy. Above the pedestal, scated on a war horse, who has a strong tonch of the Meming about him, is Honaparte, then not 26 years of age, with the laurels of six pitched battles on his brow, and the conqueror of Italy. The groat charm of this work is the spiritaality which entirely pervades it. The war horze does not stand on his hind lega, while the rider seems as unconcerned as if in his librar; chair. He is quietly ambling over the groand, while the wind lifts up his mane, and bis long tail flaps about his heels. Napoleon bestrides him with exactly that seat which all his cotemporaries have ascribed to him; his legs hang loosely, his shoulders are bent and slonchy; his cocked hat, huge and winged, like those of that epoch, is buried low on his thin face; his coat ecems# world too wide for his meagre chest; and as the young hero leans his right hand on his thigh, and negligently Brae the reins with his left, it is evident that his mind is travelling far away: yond the present scene, and that he little cares what Sort of martial presence he exhibits to any who may” observe him. Bonaparte is evidently hore not sitting for his portrait, and you like him all the better for it. ft is high time the Franconie style of statue should give place to something more spiritual, and the Em- peror has done good service in the patronage he has shown on this occasion. Asa specimen of what Lyons can produce in the way of palatial magnificence, the Compagnie Lyon- has lately fitted up, on the site of where for- merly stood a model of the imperial printing press, that has been releguted to the Annexe, a case, itself elaborately carved and handsomely—decorated, con- taining a manteau de cour which has attracted in- tense admiration, and from none more than from tlie fair visiters coming from your side of the Atlantic. It is of the finest possible crimson velvet. It is bor- dered with a superb fringe of bullion of a depth of wx inches at extremity, where it sweeps the around, if sach desecration is ever to be admitted, and smaller and beautifully less, as the robe ing the waist of the wearer. Tho bullion is loqped over and festooned in a very graceful manner.

The Grand Jury Presentment. INDICTMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL AND POLICE MAGISTRATES. [From the Sunday Leader, Sopt. 23.] ‘The Grand Jury ef this city and county have recently —so we are informed—indicted some three or four Alder- men, and we believe a few Councilmen. What the al- crime or crimes are we are not exactly informed. But the Mayor appeared before that august body, and referred certain charges against Alderman Herrick, Al- rman Moser, Alderman Drake, and some others of our city fathers, and they have been indicted. [From the Sunday Times.] ‘The Grand Jury of the Court of Sessions, previous to their diszoixsal yesterday, brought in billa of indictment it six members of present Common Council for official corruption, or malfeasance in public office. Two of these bills, we are told, were st Alderman Her- rick and one against Alderman The names upon the other bills wewere unable to learn. There is a strong impression afloat that somo of the gentlemen honored with the title of city fathers are not much en- titled to the popular confidence. Those indictments will certainly go far towards Raa those unfavorable impressions into melancholy convictions. From the Sunday brags ariog We were informed last evening that the Grand Inquest for the city and county of New York had returned to the Court of Sessions true bills against several Aldermen and Councilmen, charged with bribery and perjury, but we could not, at the time we went fo press, obtain a bill of particulars. Pohce Justice rt has been indicted for a violation of the statute law in liberating on bail, without giving the District Attorney proliminary notice of the applica tion, a prisoner who been committed by another Judge. Judge Bogart was recently removed from the Police Court at the Tombs to the one at Yorkvilic for causes that we presume are too well known to need repe. tition, {From the Sunday Atlas.) Mayor Wood has been # constant attendant upon the sittings of the Grand Jury for the last two weeks, coa- cocting some raseaily scheme of vindictiveness towards certain members of the Common Council for whom he entertains a malignant hostility. ‘The Alderman of the Nineteenth ward is more partioularly the object of his vengeance. It was rumored yesterday aftornoon that “His Honor’? had succeeded in obtaining bills of indict- mont against four Aldermen and three Councilman, for ‘qnalfeasance in office.’” Immediately on hearing this, about 4 o'clock, we visited the office of the Distciet At. torney, with a’ view of arcertaiuing if the rumor was true, ‘and also to hear the nature of the “malfeasance”? charged; but that officer had left for home, and we could rocure’ no information on the subject. ‘We then weat jo the house of Mr. Hall, in Madigon avenue, where we were iniormes that he had left town, and would not be at home till 12 or La’clock, midnight. We made diligent inguiries in other quarters, but we could find no one who could give us a particle ‘of information. If we bave been indicted, as we are told we are, we but stand upon the same platform with the Mayor knd Recorder, and we are persuaded that wo shall be able to exonerate our reputation quite ax fully as they have theirs. Not being informed of the nature of the charge against us, we can- not, of course, more fully explain our position, but we respectfully ask our friends to suspend judgment ia our case until we can be heard in defence. It is probable that our cotemporaries are better informed in relation to this movement than we aro, but we used every exertion to obtain the particulars, and regret that we met with no bettor success. Onr readers will, therefore, be com- pelled to wait till next week; but our friends need be under no apprehensions that we are involved in ang dif- ficulties from which we cannot extriente ourselves with onor. Session of the United States Graml Lodge 1.0. O. F. in Baltimore. A correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser gives the following report of the proceedings on Thursday, of the Grand Lodge I, O. 0.

A “number of resolutions were adopted; the only ono of any interest being anorder to furnish tho three boand volumes of Frogvedings in lots of five copies, to Grand Lodger or in- iy ene ‘at a dixcount of twenty-five per cent on the re- lee. This morning, after the usual preliminary proceedings, reports of stonding committees were taken up in the order in which they stand on the journal. The report in favor of granting « charter to Phenix Fodge, No.8, to be loeated in Montreal, Canada, wae adopted. The report on the appeal of certain members of the Grand Todge of Southern New York, to which allusion was made yesterday, was adopted by a unanimous vote.

The consideration of reports of standing commitices wag resumed. A report, reversing certain action of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, was adopted. ‘The principle established is, “that a brother who is suffering with a chronic com- plaint, but is yet able to go to his place of business, au- perintend rt, and participate in it to a dogree, 1s prima Sevia wot entitled to benofits as a sick brother, although this presumption may be rebutted by positive ovidenae.’?

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HBBALD. ‘The House and the Magnetic lines between New York and Washington have recently got up © now tariff of rates, whereby all mossages abcve @ cer- tain number of words are charged at an exorbitant advance upon former prices, and evidently fur the purpose of gouging the press, which has for so many years been thelr most profitable customer. This arrangement has been announced to the public in a specious circular, with the heading “rates reduced, and mossages in- sured.” In order that the public may fully understand the joke, we propose (o analyse this new arrangement, and point out its bearings. Im order to do thie, we present the subjolned table, showing the tolls paid on messages of a certain number of words under the old tariff, and the amount paid for the same messages undor the new arrangement, together with the increased pay- ment in each case:— Old rates on ree New rates on Increase. 10,000 words. . 8180 % 10,000 words. $420 00 5,000 * 97 00 6,008“ 203 00 2000 47 } “ 73 00 1,000“ 8000 1,000 380 00 Oo « 18 00 600 12 00 200" ., 6 00 loo 100 fo « ., 250 50 60 m4 4. 60 lo « 110 —or a general advance of one hundred to upwards of three hundred per sent. After perusing the above table, the reader may ask: How could tariff, increasing the prices in such an ex orbitant ratio, be designated by its originators ‘“re- duced one!” The answer is easily made. * Heretofore, the minimum charge for business mestages from New York to Washington was fifty cents for ten words or less, and four cents foreach added word— making ninety cents fora message containing twenty words, By the new tariff, the minimam charge for a despatch is eighty cents, but the number of allowed words has been increased to twenty, Here is, in reality, a reduction often cents on A message containing twenty words; and, s0 far, the pretence of reduced ratos seoms plausible, though st « ridiculously mall figure. But, whon it is considered that eighty cents is the smallest sum charged for a message now, whereas it was but fifty cents before, while nine-tonths of the business despatches sent over the wires could just as well be expressed in ten words as twenty, it will be seen that this charge is, an fact, an advance of sixty per cent over former prices. And yet, upon the strength of this single departure from the whole drift of their tariff, the Telegraph Com- panics expect to blind the press by the specious cry of “reduced rates,’’ and thus to shield themselves from that just indignation which their extortionate practice to wards their beat customers so justly merits, But the above table, it should also be borne in mind, givos only the rates charged for the mossaze in the con- dition it is in whon first received over the wires—whoth- or it be correct or not. But the public and the press, we are told by the circular, need not pay for lying or mangled snd unintelligible ‘despatches for their corres- pondents unless they choose; for if they will only be pa- fient, aad are willing to wait long enough, they can have their incorrect despatches rectified, through, a second transmission from the point of departure, at very “mod. erate” rates. Tho following is the rule on this point, as adopted by both companies :— “Jn ordor to provide against mistakes in the trans- roisaion of mossages, (by the Magnetic Telegraph Com- pany and the New York and Washington Printing Tele- graph Compans), every message of conseuence ought (o be repeated, by boing sent back from the office at which it is to be received, to the office at which it was origi- pally sent. Double the usual price of transmission will be cl 1d when the messare is 60 repeated.’ The wags | table gives the figures under the old and now tariffs, with the insured rates of the latter added :— New or Insured Rates. Old Rates. _Incr’se, On reports of 10,000 words.$1,200 60° $180 00 $1,020 00 Bo. 5,000 words. 600 00 97 00 508 00 Do. 2,000 words 24000 47.00 193 00 De. 11000 words. 12000 3000 90 00 To. 500 words. 60 00 18 00 42 00 Do. 100 words. 12 00 5 00 7 00 Do. 50 words. 6 0 2 50 3 50 No. words, 850 50 270 —or from three hundred to six hundred per cent ad- vance on former prices. ‘These are very pretty rates of insurance, truly; bet there is such an amount of coolness in'a telegraph company aking its customers to insure it agninst ouses by its own delinquencies, that wonder at the exorbitance of the rates of premium demanded is lost in admiration of the excessive modesty displayed by tty manogers. On reading it, wo were rather forcibly re- minded of the case of a certain London oxpressman, now in Botany Bay, Who used to charge and pocket toll’on a package at both ends of his route, taking the first pay- ment as & matter of course, but demanding the second as the condition of ine delivery of his charge. Tiis business did not last long. These telegraph companies, it seems, undertake at one end of their line to deliver, fora consideration, a certain message at the other; but on'a clore inspection of their new rules, the custo: mer will find that they do not agreo to deliver that mes- sago—that is, the message as it is written—uoless they are paid a double price for it. And yet everybody knows that the wholo value of a telegraphic despatch, condensed as it must necessarily bo, frequently depends upon the strict accuracy in which every word is tranemitted to the receiver. But this is astde from our purpose of showing that the 'atwarrangement is designed solely as a mcannro of extor- ° tion against the press, the glaring points of which the merely nominal reduction on the minimum despatches was intended to conceal. At times when there citing news stirring abroad, or important dise going on in Congress, the daily telographic reports of the press frequently ran up to ten or fifteen thourand words, he rule by this new arrangement ie, on both the Washington lines, to charge for those long reports the same rates that’ are demanded for short messages. Yor instance, tho new tariff on a message from New York to Washington, dropping a copy at Philadelphia and another at Baltimore, is $1 60° for twenty words or loss. Now, it would require 076 of these short messages to yield to the lines the same amount of rovenne that the press would pay on one meesage of ton thousand words. Three hundred and seventy-five mes- sages of twenty words cach would manifestly, by adding the addresses and signatures, require a full half moro of the time of the employés of the lines than would be re- quired to transmit and deliver ten thousand words to the ess. In addition to this extra amount of labor required for the simple transmission over the wires of these short messages, the lines would have to pry cn.an average for their delivery, including the cost of printing, envelopes, &e., full four cents for euch message, or reckoning for throe hundred aud seventy-five messages per day, noarly five thousand dollars per annum; whereas the taxof de- livoring to tho pross a message each day of ten thousand words would scarcely amount to as many cents. It will be seen from the foregoing exporé, that the new tariff, with its reduction of prices, ‘etitch has been put forth with such @ flourish of trumpets, offors no reduction whatever in money rates to the public, while it fucreases toan exorbitant extent the pecuniary burdens of the press. The originato of this plan of extortion thought, of course, they know what they were about. They kuew that the use of the telegraph, as a medium for the trans mission of intelligence, had become so necessary as to make it am indispensable adjunct to overy enterprising journal—that it had, in fact, become in this country one of the permanent ‘institutions’? of the press; and koe} ing this knowledge in mind, they thought they could solely apply the serows for the purpose of wringing from their generous s patrons any sddi(ional amount oF pay- ment they should see fit to demand But there ise remedy for all this—a remedy not thought of,—or, at least, not provided for, in the plans of these schemors. The original claim of Professor Morse, cover- ing, a4 it did, the whole domain of electricity, as applied to the telegraph, has recently boon set aside by the deci- sion of the Seprecso Court, at Washington, and the fres use of that enbtie eloment thrown open to tho enterprise of ingonious men everywhere. The rosult of this decision, thus far, has been the Protection of three distinet tele- graphic inventions, each of which 4s said to be as far in ad- vance ofeither the Morse, House or Bain system, as these systema are in advance of the old fasbioned etage-coach method ofmaking headway. Of these inventions, for which Jtents aro ctout being secured in this country ant in Rurope, we are not at Hberty to 9; now In detail. Suffice it to say, that they are destined to work wonderful, but “hush-needed ‘revolution ia athe tele- graphic business of this country, as they aro capable of transmitting beer from ten to twonty times as rapidly as any one of the systema now in use, and ot course at a vory materia! reduction of cost fromthe low- est rates now charged; and what is of more importance, messages by these now systema can be transmit absolutely correct, and without the posatbility of a blun- der, and of course without subjecting the recelver to any extraordinary charger in the shape of insurance, or of extra tolls for repetitions of incorrect despatches. All these three systems are so far advanced that we are as- snared that within the next twelveraonth we shall witnesg one or more lines erected under thelr patents, ¢on- necting all the chief cities of the Union.

Boston, Sept. 22, 1855. ‘The Fusion Convention—An Exciting Time—Nomination of Mr, Rockwell—Defeat of Gow. Gardner—The Votes— With the Whigs Nominate Mr. Rockwell ?—~Polstics of the Other Candidatee—Know Nothing Opposition—Democratic No- ‘mination. ‘The great fusion conventions met on the 20th—Thurs- day last—and appear to have attracted as singular and as able a collection of men to Worcester as ever met there, famous as that place is for conventions of all kinds, complexions and objects. The Delegate Convention was, comparatively, a much greater affuir than the Mass Con- vention, which was got up, I suppose, for the purpose of keeping the people quict. Perbaps it answered the pur- posefor whieh it assembled, but it had no effect on the other body, which was noisy and tumultuous enough to have satisfied gentlemen even who are in the habit of meeting in Tammany Hall. Had any one olse but Mr. Banks been President of the convention it would have gone all to picces long before it could have done its work, Even his powers, great as they are at such busi* ness, were tasked ag much as they were when he pre- sided over the fiery, quarrelsome democratic convention of 1801. Governor Gardner's friends went up to the convention with very well founded grounds for believing that they shou'd succeed. So far was their belief justified by oc- currences, that he would have been nominated on the very first ballot had there beon a change of only 24 votes in hia favor, out of a total of almost 500, The whole number of votes cast was 044; necessary to a cholce, 478, Gov. Gardner received 449, and 495 were cast against him; the highest number being thrown for Mr. Rockwell, who bad 306, or 144 less than Governor Gardner received; whilo Mr. Foster received only 122. Under ordinary circumstances, 60 strong an expression in favor of Mr. Gardner would have secured bis nomina- tion without material opposition on the second ballot; but there were gentlemen in the convention who wero determined, happen whst would, that he should not be nominated, or, lt nominated, not'be elected, They went to Worcester recolate ‘to bolt’ if the Governor thould be placed a second time before the people for their suf- frages. Had the motion to acclare him nominated been carried because of the large vote ho had received at first, there would have been a general break up, and anotber candidate have been put forward by the Wis- affected. A second ballot showed the following result:— Whole number of votes, Necessary to a choice, Julins Rockwell had was i065 jess than that’ previously thrown, Governor Gardner's yoto foll off 54, and Mr. Foster 109, while Mr, Rockwell's was increased 121, or only 12 more than Mr, Foster lost. This shows where Mr. Rockwell's increase mainly came from. The Foster men must baye all gono over to his support, with some few exceptions. I think itis sof to say that 100 of Mr. Foster's frienda voted on the second ballot for Br. Rockwell, though it was expected that Mr. Foster would finally throw his influence in behalf of his old assoctate, Goy. Gardner, seeing that there was no chance for him: self, and that be bad formally withdrawu from the field. Why he did not justify those oxpecta- tions no one can say; but I” think that, by his singular conduct, he has destroyed whatever chances he may have had of being elected to Congrest from the Tenth district, unless, indeed, the whigs there should support him, in reward for what he has done toward ef- fecting restoration of the ld whig party to, power. But from what party could he look for s nomination? It is worthy of note that Mr. Rockwell was nominated by a vote not so large by twonty-three as Governor Gard- ner received on the firet ballot, Tho Governor's first vote was 449; that finally cast for Mr. Rockwell, 426. ad the Governor's friends stuck to their posts, he would have come out of the second trial in triumph, It is said that quite a number of them would not vote on the rccond ballot, becanse they feared that the act would ind them to the support of the successful candi late, and they did not belleve that their man would bo that candidate. They wero wrong; and by their ill-timod delicacy probably defeated themselves, and ruined thelr chief. They ought not to have gonointo the convention if they felt to very scrupulous, ‘The averston of the victors was leas to Governor Gard- ner, 1 suspect, than to his party. They do not lke Know-Notbingiam.. It ta “lov,” they think ; and. thoy hate anything that’s “low” as strongly as did Squire mpkins’ friend. With them, “the genteel thing is the genteel thing any time.” They look upon the Bate as wing beon for the wholo of this year tn “low” hands. It was bad enough whon the free soilers brought in the democrats ; but nothing to this. They aro all very de- alrous of putting down the “slave power,” but they must do it in thelr own way. They wish to vote in kid or silk gloves. There is an odor of respectability about the whigs, and always has been, which renders an alliance with them highly desirable in the es- timation of such gentlemen as Mr. Dana, Mr. Adame, ond the rest of that set of public characters whe have an idea that men should go through thoir politscal «feps Pave or the mn aigeat S¢ Me Cour.” The “men of emt- nent gravity” are ing together again. We shall see what they will do. They could do much, if telent alone wore all that is necessary to carry forward a great coal tion, ‘There is, however, a remark made respecting coa- litions by the historian Alison that xeoms to me to be very jurt, and which will, not improbably, bo found ap- cable, sooner or later, to the one that has been formed ere. “he weakness 'of a coulitfon,” he says, “4s in tho direct ratio of the talent and vigor of its members; its strongth of their weakness, provided thero are one or two brilliant exceptions. What makes them in gone- ral, after a brief poriod, fall to pieces, is not that thoy want talents to do great things, but ‘that those things are different. Weak men of different opinions can hold together, because they all yield to the ascendant of eu- perior genius; but strong men cannot do so for any length of time, bosause no one will yield to another.” Ido not subscribe to many of Sir Archibald’s opinions, but J think that all history proves the corroetness of what is here said. ‘There can be no doubt that Governor Gardner had a handsome majority of tho delegates when the convention met; but his strength was all wasted by the excoediugly bad manner in which things were managed by some of bis friends, who meant walk but who. did not Luow how to make uso of their matorlals. Goneral Wilson might have done rorething for the Goveraor, but as the Gover- nor would do nothing for him when he was striving for the Senstorship, the General, though called for, was not to be had. Othor gentlemen who might have doue some- thing for tho Governor were alse absont—ebsent in mind, if not in body. There is very little love for one another among political leaders, who are very like deer, that butt to death any one of their number that chances to get hart. A hurt politician is always ina bad way. There ig no one ready to help him. He may have as man; frienda as the hare, and he will got just about ae muc help from them as poor puss got from the horve, the calf andthe rest of the company, which she ontreated to save her from the hounds, AL eyes are now bent upon the whigs, Thoy have the wer fn their hands to bind and to loose. Their conven jon isto mect on the 21 of October, and {f it chould nominate the republican ticket, success must follow to it from such action. Thero are not lees than 40,000 whig voters in tho State, of whom 25,000 may be expected to vote at the next election. Of this last number, 25,000 at least would vote fur Mr. Rockwell, if ho should teceivo the nomi nation of the Whig Convention, which force, add- ed to what the republfeans can bring into the fel Would make vietory as certain as any future thing we can be. But tho whigs, though roady enough to nomi- nate Mr. Rockwell, can make nothing out of that unless they shail take all his colleagues. they do so? Will they take Lieut. Gov. Brown, an old abdolit democrat and Know Nothing? Will they take Mr. Troasurcr Marsh, an old coalition democrat and Know Nothing? Wit they take Mz. Auditor Gifford, who deserted them, s year ago, and joined the Know Nothings? Will ‘they support Mr. Williams, a free soiler, for Secretary of State? Will thoy : Mr. Clifford, and snpport Jadgo Hour for Attorney Gene- ral? Wil they give up ing else for the Governor. abip? ‘ These bo quostions” which tho wh | cng practically to answer on the first Tuesday in ber. On their mode of answering them depends the result of the contest. ‘The Know Nothings a ‘well disposed to act against the republican nomination. Thero have been several mectings of thelr party in Boston and eleewhers, since the naraination wag made, at which much #pirit was manifested. The inp * that they rill nominate Gov.
