Worcester Daily Spy

Ware Meeting.—For the first time in this campaign, the Whigs contrived to make a respectable rally on Saturday evening. With the help of an extra train of cars, run for the especial purpose of bringing the Whigs from all the towns between Fitchburg and Worcester, and through the attendance of a large number of Free Soilers and Democrats, who were attracted thither for the purpose of hearing a speech from Judge Thomas, the hall was pretty well filled. But when we have said that, we have said all.

In common with many other Free Soilers who were present, we expected to hear from the Judge some plausible arguments in defence of the present position of the Whig party, or at least some attempt to excuse its apostasy from all its past professions, but we were disappointed. The address was mainly devoted to the same old topics, which the hunker newspapers have worn thread-bare, and which have become stale and flat by frequent repetition.

In the first place, after indulging his fancy by an ascent into Dream-land, the speaker descanted upon the unconstitutionality of the call for a Convention of the people to revise the Constitution, and argued that there was no such power given to the Legislature in that instrument, even in the teeth of an opinion from the great "Constitutional Expounder" to the contrary, for which opinion, the reader is referred to another column of this day's paper. Then he proceeded to argue the sinfulness of the coalition, and attempted to prove that the Free Soilers were not consistent with their avowed principles. The Secret Ballot Law seemed to him, as to most of the leaders of the party, peculiarly objectionable, and he complained, rather bitterly of some of its provisions.

Taken as a whole, however, the speech was unusually free from vituperation, and contained a larger amount of molasses, and less vinegar than any Whig speech we have yet heard. From which we infer, that our Whig friends have commenced the work of disciplining their minds to bear with becoming meekness and resignation, the defeat which awaits them, and to preserve, at least, a little of the leaven of good temper, from the wreck of the party, which they now see is inevitable.

At the close of the address, it was announced that Col. Schouler would address the Winthrop Club on Monday evening.
