Tiik Cont est.—'The lines in tins election says
the Franklin Democrat , tire distinctl y drawn. The
w 'ni g party is committed against all reforms. "Mas-
sachusetts as she is," was the watchword given al
il, <; w hi g state conveniion ? ''Will }ou let thing s
stand us they are ? I know you will do this thing 1"
wn the language of the President of that conven-
tion , and it has been repeated by all the whi g pres-
s-c.i th roug h the slate. There must bo no reforms :
yon mu st "let things stand as they are ,'' say ihe whjgs.
The present unequal system of representation which
disfran chises the voters of the small towns and oper-
ates to transfe r all polit ical influence from thecoun-
' i v to the cities, must not be changed. The consti-
tution must not be amended ; the secret ballot must
!' .>( be introduced : the ten hour system must not be
adopted : Harvard college must not be popularized :
-Massach usetts as she is, says whi ggery. On the oth-
er hand the democrats are for reformin g our system
of representation , so as to restoie and secure to the
*m:|il country towns their share of influence in the
leg islation of the state : they are for introducin g the
K'vret ballot , to secure the independence of every
voter : they are tor reforming Harvard college 1 in
fayor of a mechanics ' lien law , and the ten hour sys-
(6i n _ . They woul d introduce inore economy into the
administration of the state governm ent ; they wou ld
Siave less special leg islation and conse quentl y short-
er sessions of the legislat ure . They have put in
nominati on as candidates men of abilit y and integri-
ty , who are pled ged to these measures of reform :—
ihe whi g candidai es are all virtuall y pled ged to "let
things stand as they are ,
1
' to keep Massac husetts as
kila iij." It is for the peop le to choose between them.
Organization*
.—We cli p the following excel-
lent advice from the Albany Argus , which is as ap-
n'icable to the democracy of Massachusett s as to the
democracy of New York :—•
"A thoroug h organizatio n, now ag at all times , is
indispensable to success. No brilliant political tri-
ump h was ever achieved without it. JS'o such tri-
n-n pli can be obtained now , unless democrats will go
In work in earnest , to-mature a systematic organisa-
tion—such a one will enable them to bring out their
pniir e strength at the polls ,and whilst it assures them
of their power , will animate and invi gorate their ef-
forts , when those essential requisites will be mosl
needed. Such an organization can be perfected
lon g before the election comes—if democrats will at
once proceed to that all important duty. Let it be
minute and comp lete—a full muster roll of the op-
posing forces in each localit y.—showing where each
elector stands and the general aspect of the battle-
ground—and how much can and must be done tow-
ards the success of the democrats . Will) such prep-
arations for the conflict , democrats have nptliin " to
fear, but everything to expect."' ° '
Mklancholy Accident.—On Saturday evening,
12th inst., a little boy about six years old ,el"iild of RlT-.
Henry Swain , was missed by his parents and could
not he found. During tlie nig ht, the town was
alarmed by the ring ing of bells , our firemen turn ed
out with their torches , and a thorou g h search made ,
and earl y on Sunday mornin g the little fellow was
found floating in Ihe dock , lifeless. Al five o'clock
on Saturday he was seen on "board a vessel lying at
one of the wharves ,and in descending it is supposed
he fell between her and the wiiaif .and being stunned
by the. fall , was unable to give the alarm to those
who were at work on board.— [Nantuck pt Mir ror.
Fearful Sport..— A correspondent wrifes us,"
that a memUer of Mr. White 's School ,Amherst ,Mass.,
a lad of 17, on Saturday the 12lh insf., havin g a ri-
fle in his hand loaded with a ball , in sport placed
the muzzle under his chin ,and said to another youth
present , "see how easy a man could kill himself"; at
the same time p lacing his foot against the hammer ,
pushed it back until it had nearly cocked , when his
foot sli pp ing, the hammer f'pll upon the cap, and the
rifl e discharged. The chin was entirel y blown away
and the ball passed out throug h the bac k of his head.
The unfortunate youth never knew what hurt him.
His name was Frederick Qoodale.—[Boston Trav-
eller.
Fugitive Slayk Law.— Attorney General CriJ-
fenden 's op inion of the con stitutionalit y of the fugi-
tive slave law was published in Washin gton on
Wednesday last . He says there is nothi ng in any
part of the act that suspends the privilege of writ of
habeas corpus, that the whol e act is not onl y consti-
tutional , but is necessary for the proper enforcement
of that provisi on of the constitution which declares
that all/fugitiv e slaves shall be delivered up on claim
being made fpr them.
A Custom.hquse Clerk in Philadel phia , -\ hp was

Tne Nuwburyport Herald states that Mr, John
II. Page hits gathered this season , from a Mountain
A«h tree , in front of his residence , in that town , a
peck of remarkabl y large and good looking pears,
from scions that were set three years ago. It is a
wintry variety, and was gathered prematurel y to
remove a si rang temptation from the boys.
Th e Fr uit Crop at Malaga.— By accounts
from Malaga to the 17th nlt..we learn there had been
some rain there durin g the time that about one third
ofthe raisin crop was on (he ground , which had
caused a rise in prices , as the rain had injured the
fruit to some extent , particularl y that portion inten-
ded forcaskuig.—[New York Herald.
The Atlas hangs tint the signal of distress. The
old whi g hulk is hit between wind and water . She
is in a sinking state. The blunderi ng pilots are lus-
til y calling all hands to quarters. But there 's not
enoug h to keep the rushing waters out , and so the
free- soilers are called upon most imp lorin gly to lend
a hand at the pumps. Still the old thing keeps set-
tling. The waters keep risin g in her. Lft her go
down. She's not wort h swing.—[Boston Post.
_ JlMJNY LlND AT PHILAD ELPHI A.—The Night-
mgale on her way from Boston to Philadel phia was
the object of eonstant attention from the peop le
alqng the route , and in several places there was
much excitement to get a view of her. The first
ticket in Phil adel phia broug ht KS625—th e Boston
price—and was'secured by Mr. lloot, the eminent
daguerrolyp ist.
Now is the lime to make calculations as to repre-
sentatives. We hope there will not be an available
opposition town left without represcnlati\ es. Strain
every nerve for united action here. Much may
hang on one vote of one representative. Select
f irm, reli able , true men, whom the whi"s cannot flat-
ter , or frighten , or bribe into iheir ranks. Remem-
ber the close limes of 1843 in the leg islature. Se-
eet firm men.— [Bosten Post

Notice.—To the Democratic Committees
tii eougiioct tub State.i—At an adjourned meeting
of the Democratic State Central Committee , held this
day. a vote was passed requesting the Chairman of the
seve ral Democratic District , County and Town Com-
mittees , to transmit forthwith to the Secretary the or-
ganizations of their respective Committees , and the
names of the members thereof. Also, ordered that no-
tice of said vote bo published.
THOMAS GILL,
Secretary Democratic State Central Com.
Boston , Oct. 16, 1850.
So much , of a public nature , was crowded into
the goings-on in our nei ghborhood , last week, that
we are at a loss how to abbreviate our sentences so a
to find room to notice them , all and severall y.
THE AGRICULTURAL PAIR , &c.
Of that , we publish so full official reports , that we
hardl y need comment , further than to say, that it
was much more largel y attended , than any former
one here. The exhibition of animals was more ex-
tensive and satisfactory—except that the competi-
tion and improvement in raisin g milch cows does
not seem to come up to what it oug ht to be amongst
us. The show of vegetables was something short of
the expectation ; and of fancy work there was a de-
cided deficiency—lending to convey the impression
that the ladies are losing their interest in this an-
nual exhibition ; or that the premiums offered them
are not large enoug h to stimulate them to competi-
tion.
'Tis said that the address or "lecture" of M r.
Small , was a great affair. We did not hear it , but
do hear it hi ghl y spoken of. As it is to be publish-
ed, the agricultural public will have opportunity to
jud ge for themselves.
THE COUNTY CONVENTIONS.
Of these there were three— Democratic , Whi g
and Free Soil. The two last named were held at
Hyannis on Tuesday. Hon. Zeno Scudder presid-
ed over that of the Whi gs, and on taking the chair ,
made a speech , which is a thoroug h specimen of
Zeno himself. If it could have been published be-
fore the assembling of the District Convention , we
should have feared that that body would never have
ratified Mr. Collector Bacon 's preliminar y arrange-
ments for the nomination of Zeno for Congress !
It was demagoug ical , to the last degree—and any
gentleman who has ever presided over the Massa-
chusetts Senate , or who asp ires to a seat in Con-
gress, oug ht to be ashamed of it. Besides, it is so ri-
diculous in its diction , that did it not bear unmistak-
able evidence of being f ixed up by Zeno himself , for
the press,we should conclude the Register had done
him injustice in reporting it. Wh y, schoolmasters
Blake and Tri pp, have each half a dozen boys who
can teach Zeno his ABC's in log ic, rhetoric , syntax
and even Eng lish grammar!
Tins Convention nominated for Senators ,
Hon. Stkphkn Htlliard, of Provineetown , and
Hon . Zen AS D. Basskt, of Barnslable.
Pretty fair men—both of 'em—We have nothing to
say against them ; onl y wo mean to prevent thoir
election , if we can, by choosing the Democratic
nominees , whom we think better men for the place.
The same meeting nominated our brother editor
Swift of the Register for County Treasurer. Of
course we shall not quarrel wilh that. And if we
learned correctl y the reasons given by his nei ghbors,
for the nominati on , we should be tempted to give
him our vote ; were it not that the Democrats have
put in nomination for that office , a good and true
man , vastl y more entitled to our support.
For Register of Deeds , the Whi gs nominated the
present incumbent. The Yarmouth Reg ister's
apology for that nomin ation is so ridicul ous , that we
should think it would sicken the, members of the
Convention themselves. It says ,
"It was understood at the Convention , that Mr.
Davis had ceased to follow the lead of the schemers
of Barnstahle Locofocoism , and I hat his present po-
litical position was unobjectionable. "
les, he "ceased" last spring, because "Barnstable
Locofocoism" then ceased to elect him Selectman !—
He was hi ghly offended with it , and doubtless , by
this time his present political position is "unobjec-
tionabl e " to the Whi gs, of the Reg ister stamp ! But
the Register , adds, "He is a faithful and accommo-
dating officer. " That is just what we have been say-
ing of him in the Patriot for the last twenty years-
while the Whi gs, throug h all their successive jour-
nals in the count y, have been callin g him all sorts of
hard names , and accusing him of all sorts of ciime
pretty much. For those qualifi cations , the Demo-
crats have also again nominat ed him , with out re-
gard to his "present political position. " The WIhts
can have him ,politically, in welcome , if thev want
him , and have such zealous love for political rene-
gades , six months old !
The Free Soilers nominated for Senators ,
Ob ed Brooks, Jr. of Harwich , and
Isaac Kkitii , of Sandwich.
Both good men also. We did not hear of their mak-
ing further selections of candidate s.
The Democratic Count y Conventi on made its
nominations—ami its proceedin gs are to be found
officially in our columns. We call on the Demo-
crats of the County to rall y and give them that unit-
ed and entire support , to which the candidates per-
sonall y are so well entitled , aside from the dut v thev
owe to themselves and th eir party and their coun-
try, as Democrats. Messrs. Baxter and Lombard
are entitled to a good vote in the County ; and we
doubt not they will get it . Brewster is, to say the
least , as well deserving of location of the County
Treasurer , as Yarmouth , and no better man can
»ny where be found for that office , than David Mayo,
Elect him then ! Try to , at any rate.
DISTRICT CONVENTIONS.
There were thre e of those also. The Free Soil-
ers had no difficulty, we believe , in nomin atin g
Simpson Hart, E«q., of Nmv Bedford ,
"
for Congress.
Last Week's Doings.
The Democrats , having a full and harmonious
representation from the different parts, of the Dis-
trict , with entire unanimity put in nomination for
Congress,
Charles B. II. Fessenden, Esq., of Sandwich .
Mr. Fessenden , being present as a delegate , ac-
cepted the nomination , in an extremel y neat and
pertinent speech , which did him great credit , and
was received with much approbation , a nd which we
regret we cannot give our readers. As the official
report of this Convention is in our columns , we need
not extend our comments thereon , at this time.
The Whig District Convention!—That was "all
sorts " of a Conveniion. To be sure there was no
great for it to do; because , as we had told them for
two weeks be(bre ,their bushiess was all ''cut and drU
ed," and all there was left for them (as a Convention)
was just to ratify what they couldn 't alter —sw allow
the (lose , however unpa latable. The Nantuekelers
choked a little , and the Vineyarders had to hold
their noses ; nevertheless , it was swallowed as we
told them it must be—and the Hon. Zeno Scud-
dek was nominated for Congress ! There were two
ballotimj s ; the first time Zeno couldn 't fetch it ; but
the next heat , some of the delegates did not vote ;
the friends of Messrs. Jenkins and Crowell went
over to Zeno, and he had a majority of ten votes.
But \he
jun of the thing, was in the fuss they had
in gettin g organized. There were two sets of dele-
gates present from New Bedford ; one of which
seemed to be headed by the breezy, bombastic Col.
Hatch , of such ridiculous notoriet y as an expiess
man. That was called the "Hunker delegation. "—•
The other was headed by—well , by nobod y, in par-
ticular; but it was called the "Howland delegation ,"
and each seemed to understand himself and his op-
ponents , pretty well , and needed no leader. The
first named was composed of the class of men who
are always boasting of "all the money ," all t he. "pie-
ty " and all the "princi ple;" and are generall y the
last that should be trusted vrith out close watching ;—
they are the nurses of old lad y Grinnell , the pres-
ent member of Congress—and the whole party cast
in New Bedford 1G8 votes against Mr. Rowland for
Mayor—while the other , the "Howlij ud party,''
throw some 1200 ! The first of these sets of dele-
gates—the Hunkers—of course was the party to be
reecived ; for our Whi g managers on the Cape , un-
derstood well enoug h , that if the Rowland party
were admitted , their dish was up side down—Zeno
couldn 't be nominated—so it wouldn 't do to compro-
mise the matter a whit [we knew all this , a week
before.] But such a ridiculous mess as they made
of the matter , beat all the parly jumbles we ever
heard of.
Mr. Delegate Kenrick , of Orleans , was in the
chair; and havin g been in the Legislature a year or
two, and got his head stuffed full of "parliamentary "
nonsense , his attempts to make app lication of it to
the hurl y-burl y materials of that Convention greatl y
increased the confusion and lndicrousness of the
scene. At last , however , as near as we could un-
derstand it (for at least half the meeting didn 't un-
derstand it themselves , and the Chairman was deep-
est in the fog of any of them) the Hunkers were ad-
mitted to full communi on ,and the Howlandites were
vouchsafed the liberal boon of sitting in the Conven-
tion , and looking on !
We have notes of many interestin g say ings and
doings dining the two hours of turmoil preceding the
final organization of the meeting, which may make
material for future comment. At present , we will
avail ourselves of porlions of a report we find in the
New Bedford Stnndard ;—and that we must largel y
curtail ,for the subject is running to too great length.
[Extracts from the Standard.]
A voice—I propose this plan : let the committee
on credentials retire and report eight delegates from
each list ,so that New Bedford should be.represented
by fiftekn delegates !
['Order !
' 'Order !
' from all parts of the house.]
Mr. Wm. Hall got the floor , and said—We are
the onl y true whi g delegates from New Bedford ;
therefore could not and would not , submit to a half
delegation or a half representation in the convention.
We have or we have not a ri ght to a seat in this
convention. We do not wish to trespass upon the
ri ghts of others , neither are we willin g to have our
ri ghts tramp led under foot of man. We ask no
privileges tor ourselves which we are unwilling to
grant unto others . [Here the speaker was inter-
rupted by Mr . Ward M. Parker , of the Hunker del-
egation , who cried with a loud voice , "the gentle-
man is out of order ;" whereupon
The chair sustained Mr. Hall , and decided that
Mr. Parker was out of order.
Col. Hatch , who was doubtless at the convention
with honest intentions , was at once upon his trotters ,
and exclaimed with impassioned eloquence— Weave
the Whi g paity ; we have done all the. work ; we
have all the merchants ; we have spent all the
MONEY , having paid all the lecturers. I have long
belonged to this organization and know that to be
the onl y organization of the true blue whi ps. [At
this moment , a voice— "What ! the ' 168 vote ' pa r-
ly V"] The Col. took his seat amid cries of "order "
"oud ek !"
Mr. Warren Ladd said that he was one of the del-
egates from JNew Bedford , and stated that , in the
year 1348, the Whi g party split .and that the "Whi g
Organization " east 915 votes ; the Rowland ticket ,
471 , leaving to the "Whi g Organization " two thirds
of Ihe Whi g votes. They, the Rowland party,came
here two years ago , and did they abide by the nom-
ination ? No, sir; but returned to New Bedford
and made an independent nomination.
Mr. Ladd , concluded his speech in the classical
language of the immortal Colonel :—"We up hold
the Whi g party ; we emp loy the lecturers and pay
all THE MONEY. "—which assertion immediatel y
broug ht Mr. Geo. 13. Richmond int o the discussion ,
who occup ied considerable time in refutin g the char-
ges of the opposition. The remarks of his colleague ,
said Mr. R , met the approbation of the delegation ;
that they had all come there from a sense of duty,
which they owed to themselves , political l y, and to
the Whi g party of New Bedford ; all they asked of
the convention was justice. He regretted that the
question of which was the rightful
town. ' Prov<

Resolved, That we rejoice i n this Opportunity, of
newing our pled ges and of reassertin g our firm atta T
merit to tho immuialile princi ples of the Dem'
ocr (•"
party ; believing it the party of unwavering procre
whose measures and policy tend to the liberty ,J

whose undoviating course has ever been onward in ,(;'
cause of Freedom and the unlimite d increase of Ren, u

liciin Institions. » ™s"
Resolved, Th at as the Representatives of the Demo
racy of the County of Barnstable , we are met unde
circumstances, such as Democrats we may be prond of
for although in the minority in ou r National Council,
nevertheless we can congratulate ourselves , and ft '
Democracy of this County, and of our whole coimin
upon the consummation of one ofthe great measures of
our policy, that our opponents were driven at last to
take the stand upon our platform , and adopt the re-
commendation of Our Geeat Western Statesman
"
being a fu rther proof of that we have so long maintain-
ed the utter ina bility of Whi gs and the utter inadequj!
cy of Whi g policy, to conduct our national affairs—
'
they being obli ged to adopt the Democratic policy 7t
tho end of nearl y a year's determined opposition there-
to, in the Legislative Halls ofthe Nation ; and thev are
not only obliged to adopt ourmeasiircs when in power
but it is only by tho availability of a man made by our
measures that they can obtain it.
Resolved, That we hail wi th the utmost cordiality
and pleasure, our new consort on our Pacific shore-1
and view with pride in her admission to this Union of
Repu blics , tho triump h of that fundamental principle of
Democratic policy—the right of the people to establish
for themselves such forms of government, civil and io-
cial , as to them in their wisdom may seem wise and
proper. We eminentl y regard that state as an offspring
of New England , and well may the people of Massa-
chusetts, the sons of Cape Cod, and of the Islands of
the Ocean , hail her with frate rnal affection , and as they
behold the "living tide roll on ," and our star spangled
banner unfurled by the energy and en terprise of their
sons and brothers—wi th the poet exclaim ,
"It streams beyond the splintered ridgo
That parts the Northern showers ,
From Kastern rock to sunset wave
The Continent is ours !
"
Resolved, That in the will of the people alone, we re-
cognise the sole legitimate sovereign authority—thai
therefore we hold the first duty of every Democrat,to
consist in laboring with untiring energy and zeal, to
maintain in its entire integrity, that greatest and most
valued of princi ples, the right of self government—ami
that possessing that most sacred of ri ghts—the right of
co-operating in the perfection of the laws by partici-
pating in the choice of those who make them , we are
constrained to say that he who abstains from the exer -
cise of his franchise , but betray s the hol y cause of right
and of humanity, is unworth y the great ancestors of
our great and glorious Republic , deceives himself, and
is a traitor to his famil y and friends , because he basel y
sacrifices not onl y his own right, but one, the exercise
of which is duo to his brethren , and renounces for liim- .
self and for them , the quality of a man ilnr] of a citizen
of the greatest, freest , and most enlightened Republic
of all history.
Resolved, That this Convention cordiall y responds
to the resolutions adopted at the late Democratic State
Convention at Worcester , and wo pledge our united
and hearty support of
BOUT WELL and CUSHMAN
as candidates for Governor and Lieut. Governor of this
Commonwealth , at the approaching election.
Resolved, That in ALEXANDER, BAXTER of
Yarmouth , and CALEB LOMBARD of Wellfleet , the
nominees of this Convention , we have gentlemen upon
whom we can rel y, and can with the utmost confidence
recommend them to the support of the electors of this
County, as being eminentl y qualified by their talents,
unbending integrity , undeviating rectitude of principle
and action , and a faithful and conscientious discharge
of every duty—to represent them in the Senate of Mas-
sachusetts , and we here each and every one of us pledge
our united and undivided support , and that we will use
every effort to perfect , in every town and school dis -
trict, the organization of the Democratic party through-
out the County—knowing that if every Democrat but
does his duty , their election is sure , and our triumph
complete.
