FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY,

l1tE . TATE ELECTION.
MR. EDlroR-l beg leave to say one word in
regard to the effect OF the approaching election
upon the National Republican interest through
out the country.
1t is well known that powerful and deter.
mined effor, is to be made, at the next session
of Congress, TO break down the Tariff, The
determination is a strong as the btterest hos
Utility can make it, and as fixed as political des.
peration itself. Nothing but the firm, the unit
ed the unwavering action of the friends Of the
Tariff can ward off the blow
This Commonwealth under its present ad
lninlstration, is the strong hold of the Tariff
1t IS tower OF strength to tie cause. pointed
at from every quarter Of the country, TO inspire
confidence and to rouse TO action. As vet. il
has been assalled in vain. An attack is now to
be made upon it from which much is to be feared
No matter what the opinions of the Anti. Ma.
sons are upon national politics if they succeed
IN defeating the reelection of the present ad-
ministraton of this State or even cause il TO
come in by a feeble majority, the fact will be
hailed in every part Of the country as a defeat
OF the National Republican cause 1t is in vain
to say, it will not in truth DE defeat The op-
posers OF the tariff know too well how to make
ii appear 50. And make it appear SO they will
Our friends at distance will DO deceived dis
couraged disheartened, and will exclaim, I" Old
Massachusetts deserted the cause then all is
lost" Every National Republican, then, even
though he be an Anti Mason, since there is no
hope of etecting an Anti Masonic candidate, if
lie has spark of patriotism remaining, ought
to support Governor Lincoln. But, at all
events, let others do their duty Ifthey do not :;
II from any feeling of false security, if from any
want of excrtion, they permit the present adj.
mlnlstration of this State to pass out of their
own hands, and eventually into the hands of
their enemies; and if hereafter the tariff shall
be repealed and their hopes blasted, their prop.
erty sacrificed and themselves beggarcd. let
them shut their mouths and hold their peace
for it will be their o,cn ,o0rk.

CAUTION. Great efforts are making bs
the opponents of the National Republican
Ticket tor Senators in this county, to sow
dissention in the ranks of their former sup
porters by propugating unfoundcd impnta-
tons respecting them For example-the
sueJect OF an amendment to the third arti-
cle of the Bill of Rights is one in which
large portion of the voters of all parties
take deep interest-a desire for an al
| teraton of this part of the constitution of
the State has been manifested by some of
the most strenuous supporters of the pres
ent State administration, and the Jackson
mon, taking advantage of this circum-
stance, are making loud demonstrations of
their especial regard for the advocates of
the amendment. Not only tlis--plragrapb
after paragraph has appeared accusing a
majority Of the able and highly respected
representatives of this County in tho Sen
ate Of the last Legislature as unfriendly to
the proposed change, hoping thereby to
render the present ticket, which is COMICS
ed OF the same gentlemen, unacceptable
even to their friends. Now we protest
against such an unfair and tlishonorable
mode oil procedure. II is well known to
all who watched the course of the last
Legislature, that the subject of that amend
ment came before the Senate at entirely
too late period to be acted upon in that
body f; several members had obtained leave
OF absence, and all must agree that thus
situated, it would have been highly i'm |
proper TOR those remaining to have passed |
upon subject of so much Importance, |
without reasonable allowance Of time for
deliberation. We repeat 1.-THE cote by
iotich this proposed amendment was referred
to The merit Legislature, cannot be considered
as indicating the sentimente ofthe Senutori-
al delegation on The merits Of the question
itself
Amy division of the National Republican
ranks must evidently prove fatal to the |
success of their ticket; and we therefore
urge the necessity of caution and vigilance
against the artful and false representa-
tons made by their opponents, with no 9TH !
er object than 10 prevent The election of men
whose whole influence has ever been on |
the side Of PUBLIC UTILITY and the
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
u A great mass Of political matter
will be found in our paper to-day, which we
recommend, to the attention of our readers. |
The proceedings of the meeting at SPRING
FIELD will be read with interest, and must |
fix n seal upon the pretensions of Mr.. Lath-
rop, for which his party have to thank only |
the unprincipied management of their lead
ers. Dr. Phelps never prepared nostrum |
more distasteful than the Lathrop bolus.

GOV. LINCOLN AND THE ANTI
MASONS

GOV. LINCOLN AND THE ANTI
MASONS
Mr.. Edtor-I recently observed in one of
the public Journals, letter purporting TO be
from an Anti masonic Committee in Boston 10
the Governor OF this State, requiring answers to
certain interrogatories therein named | con-
Tess that was very much surprised at the recui
sltions OF that committee; more especially so.
when observed the names Of some distinguish.
ed and highly respectable men attached to 1t !;
mon from whom we ought to expect better
things. 1t appears to me that the Anti-mason
lc party do not stop to consider the consequen.
ces ofthe measures they are taking, but :" 90
the whole hog" without inquiring the why or
tho wherefore.
They do not seem to consider what must ap-
pear plain to every observer, that the means
they are using to gain their cause, are the very
means by which the Jackson party will gain
theirs What objection has the Anti-masonic
party to Gov. Lincoln presume none al all.
only that he refuses to pledge himself 10 sup.
port their cause. and in thus doing he has man
iested an independence that entities him to the
suttrages of the whole people and not ola party
When Gov. Lincoln was originally nominal.
ed it was by one of the then existing political
parties, but he refused his consent he was af-
forwards nominated by the other party Here
was an opportunity presented to unite the two
parties: having this object in view as he pro-
fessed, he consented to become candidate, or
rather the candidate, and was elected without
opposition. But before one year had elapsed
some of those who were loudest in their pro-
testations of friendship to him, were racking
their brains TO discover some wrong stem in
his administration for an excuse to turn their
coats, and from that time to this have they
sought for cause TO remove him, but have
thus far been defeated, and their Vaccinations
have avalled them nothing Although he has
been abused and basely misrepresented BY
them, and although they have attributed to
him all the misfortunes that have occurred t.
the State since the landing of the Pilgrims
still he needs not their ranting, but pursues hir
course with fearless Independence, and thu
nrdor of a true patriot.
Such man is well worthy the ofico o
Governor Of Massachusetts, and | sncerel,
hopo that the electors will all be at their post,
at the ensuing election and give him their unit
ed suffrages. j.

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS is ESSENTIAL TO
THE SECURITY OF FREEDOM"
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1831-1858, 1831-11-09


SAMUEL LATHRoP. 1t is peculiarly IN
fortunate for a man whose public character
has been long held in respectable light, to
forfeit all claims to confidence us the term
of life and usefulness is drawing to close.
Some allowance ought indeed to be made
for the last acts of one, far advanced in
years, with mind enfeehled by the natural
effect of second childhood. and reduced
to state in which moral distinctions, as
we'll as all others, begin to fade. Subtle
and crafty politicians, who well know how
TO practice upon the minds of others, are
ever eager and ready to seize upon such
subjects for the furtherance of their ambi-
tious designs. This we take TO be fail
explanation of the inconsistency and want
of principle shown in the conduct Of Mr.
Lathrop, in respect to his nomination by the
Anti Masons. II is humiliatng, we confess
to acknowledge such a fall from upright.
ness and an honorable department towards
the public but it is impossible to witness
the irresoute. unmanly, and shutting course
pursued by that gentleman, us exhibited If
the proceedings of the meeting at Spring
field, without being ashamed OF the sorry
figure man lately SO favorahly known, is
made to assume in the game for office. And
we are glad 10 be able to find in the imbe
ciity of declining years, and the cunning o
political managers practising thereupon, al
explanation less derogatory than otherwise
could be found. The conduct Of Mr.. La
throp, under this view of it, should I've re
gariod rather IN pity than IN anger, ant
while it removes ail motive for supporting
him for an Office requiring the full exercise
of mental vigor and activity. ought to b'
permitted to pass into quiet and undisturb
ed oblivion.
