rising generation learn the monstrous truth)
the President of this Union has not blushed,
virtually to declare, that his ears are open
only to the solicitations of a party, and that
he is ready to grant, at their request, those
claims which sacred justice has so long en-
forced in vain In message to the National
Legislature &C the virtue and wisdom of a
whole people collected into focus" are cal
led upon to recognise a principle so odious,
and thus permit the ''unhallowed spirit of
party'' to prevail, where equity and right
have had no influence. And thus is the
pledge to be redeemed! Thus is the golden
harvest to be gathered in to the garner of the
State
But President Monroe does not stop
here. He has not thought it beneath the
dignity of the first Magistrate of a powerful
Republic, to ape the spirit and the tenor of
that notable "specimen of the sublime and
virulent' which our worthy Governor exhib-
tied to US last spring. Like him, he has rak-
ed up the contentious of other days-like him,
he has chimed in with the vulgar jargon of his
party, and, while gratuitously pouring forth
the political rancor of his heart, he has wan
tonly assailed the motives, and the memories
OF men, whose point of excellence, however
exalted may be his station,he can never reach.
But this is not all. Mr.. Monroe has inten-
tionally made the grossest mis-statements.
We say Intentionally, because he could not
but have known that they were such. Where
is his authority for asserting, that the difficult
ty with our Executive during the late war,
did not" extend' to the people of this State
Does he find it in the numerous town and
county meetings, which, all that time, sponta-
neously expressed their unqualified approba,
ton of the measures of that Executive? Does
he find it in the proceedings of our House of
Representatives at that eventful period
Does he find it in the vote by which, in 1914,
Caleb Strong, the idol of the people, was re-
elected Governor-the largest vote ever given
to any man, for that office, in this State ? No!
all these things are in the very teeth Of his
assertion, and he we'll knew they were SO.
He knew, full well, that a vast majority ofthe
the people of Massachusetts,, entirely approved
the measures Of the Executive, and yet he
states. in the very face and eyes of demon
stration, his 6 thorough conviction" that such
was not the case. The Fedcralists Of Massa-
cbueatts ,,,;l1 rot .l,,,I- Mr. Noproa for +b,-
classifying their principles and conduct we
fancy that they will not swallow the sicken-
ing adulation he has attempted to stuff down
| their threats, but that wherever this message
shall be read bya Federalist of 1912, it will
meet with the Indignation and contempt, it is
| calculated to excite.
| We shall use but few words in relation to
the direct and obvious attempt Of Mr.. Monroe
to influence our election. He has disgra ced
himselfmore than he will injure the Federal
cause, by his gross and palpable interference.
! He has chosen to electioneer for Gov. Eustis
! & his party, and he commands our pity for his
weakness. He has chosen to sully his repu-
tation, as an upright, hgh-minded man, and
the ignominy rests upon his own shoulders.
There let at rest. Y.
NEws-PAPERs.-We have seen several NUM-
bers OF the Courer,a new daily paper, publish
ed in Boston, by ]. T. Buckingham, Editor of
the Galaxy. 1t is handsomely executed, and
the known talents and industry of the Editor,
will doubtless secure for it handsome pat
ronage.
| We have also received two numbers of a
new paper, called the Sc Friend of Freedom
published at Chillicothe, Ohio, by C. Atwater,
Esq. who is well known as one of the most
persevcring Antquarians in the country.
1t gives promise of being useful publication.
The Salem Gazette has recently been en-
larged to the size of the Spy. This paper
has long been distinguished for its ability, and
we wish it an increase of patronage common
surate with its deserts.

heretofore supported Crawford for the Presi-

sorting for their reasons, that his friends have
ruined his cause, and that they have become
convinced, that he is a more unsuitable per-
son for that Office, than his Competitors.

comes but once year, which, we trust, is a
sufficient apology, for devoting so much of
