 AmalgalnatioR.-Undert this head the last Times has
 lamentaton over the fallen condition of many of the states in the Union, and the danger which threatens the fair temple of freedom in old Connecticut. Mas sachusetts is however cited a most melancholy evi dence of fa!en greatness "What candid and consis- tent republican," says the editor, can look at the present state of politics in Massachusetts, where a. ,nalgamaton has done its work, and not feel an emo ton of pity and regret when he contemplates the con- dton of things there." How is the ''crade ofthe Rev oution' fallen! the brightest of her driven into dshonorable retirement, and the vest of the people exalted to rule over them. Men like Daniel Webster, Edward H. Everett, Isaac c. Bates, and dozen like spirits, appointed to the most responsible oti- in the state, while patriots like Peter Nathaniel Green and George Wells, are forced to write news paper essays for livelihood! What republican offeel ing is there among us who will not sympathse with the editor of the Times in his expressions "pity and regret at the existence ofsuch state of thngs and more espcciay,wh we see similar spirit manifest: ing itself among ourselves. Yes; already has the work o! political deso|aton began among already has David Dagget been placed in one of our most
 
 "the party,' who must still longer plead al the bar, write for the press, sarve If this be not cause for " sorrow and aarn," tell what can be-! For years, certain of us have been publishing patriot sm and our Hove for the dear people," and have never yet received loaf or fsh,' while ;Sae mies," like Webster and Daggeu are placed in~the most responsible and lucrative stations. If things go on from |" bad to verse; in this manner, shall never be sent to Congress, and our present abors of love for the people, will prove entirely abortve What shall be done to put check to this evil What shall be done to from the disgrace which now at- taches Massachusets for sending such men as Web ster and Everett to the National Legislature! Will not the people rise in their strength and shake of the political incubus which begins enwine itself around them! Will they not nscrbe "Tory," and ''Harttord Convention" upon the door post of every who will not cry Hurrah for Jackson, and take the Hartford Times Something must be done speedily, or we shall be forced to bid eternal farewell this ungratefu state, and with Wm. B. Giles, George Troup, and John Randolph, lay the foundation of pure public the shores ofthe Pacific This is trining concern, reader; you peruse all that is said upon this subject by youy best friends" those pure FepuOnC2n patriots Whose all depends upon the eXIs tence of high state of party excitement, you would either be stirred up to "mutny and rage," or filled with disgust and contempt. What, shall "the party" lose the benefit of the glorious victory t obtanedover the eiederalists fifteen years ago, by false spirit of political candor Did contend valiant ly for the political coat and shall share it with ouf former enemies True, in ethics are required to forgive: but politics and ethics, in day, tirely different concerns True aso great majority of the freemen have personal interest in keeping up this warfare, but we, the leaders have, off and ifthe people will not take thealarm when we cry dGnger, shall be like Massachusetts and most of the other states of the union,pa will longer be the seppngsope office, but that puritanc, and 10 us destructive principle, of honesty and ability, will be substituted in its stead
 But to be serious upon this subject, when Mir Wells says that party distinctions becoming obsolete in this sate although he deprecates the principle, and mourns over it as tremendous evil, feel encour- aged to persevere in our old course. We have here totore often said the thng---we have said that the honest, straight forward, mat,erofact freemen, who neither expect nor seek office, willing to judge of candidates by their worth, and by their party claims. They cause-for contention about names they know of no good reason why such men as Daniel Webster and David Daggett may not be ap- pointed to responsible stations although they cal
