MASSACHUSETTS.

1t is all right in the Bay State, and no
mistake. The "cobblers and thinkers" can
not stick to the last for Mr.. Van Buren, and
his ruinous projec;s-the mechanics, manu-
facturers, laboring men, and hard cider and
log cabin boys, rally with enthusiasm, around
the "poor mans candidate" Massachusetts
will give 10000 majority for Gen. Harrison.
One of the most remarkable signs Of the times
that have fallen under our observation, is the COM
plee rout OF the Loco focos in the town of Lynn,
Mass distinguished for is shoe manufactures and
till of late for its Loco-focoism The regular Loco
foco majority there ior several years mas varied from
two to five hundred. The Boston Atlas gives the
following table of the state of parties there since
1924

Mr.. BUCHANAN ASSAlLED BY THE
LOCO FOCOS

The editor Of the "Oid Dominion" in a letter
written from this city and published in his last paper
uses the following language:
1.-THE late position assumed by Mr.. buchanan and
Mr. Grundy, upon the subject Of paper money, has
afforded the leaders Of the opposition another opporu-
nifty Of preaching about Inconsistency between our pro-
fesson and practice. MIR. Clay chuckled with great
apparent satisfaction over the circumstance that the
leaders of the administration party had taken back their
opinions, re-csnted their principles. Mr.. Calhoun
promptly met the charge by declaring that he had taken
back nothing that he should stand by his principles in
regard TO the banks, if every upon the floor OF the
Senate should leave him to do battle alone M
Brown, Of North Carolina, told Mr.. Buchanan some
plain trsths in The course of the debate gave HIM
hint that he had no more than the garb OF democ-
raey This ,oH be apparent 10 The '0hole country IN
less Than Gpc years"

GEN HARRrsoN made an interesting reply
to the speech made to him the other day on
the occasion of the presentation of the Eagle
which was present at the Great Columbus
Convention. In the course of it he happily
remarked that " if ever the happy time shall
arrive, when the benefits Of a government esta-
blished by common efforts and common sacri-
fees, shall be aitainable by all, without regard
to political opinions, the Eagle shall be releas-
ed"
On the same occasion, Mr.. Hughes of Gin
cinnati, presented the General through a
friend, barrel of "hard cider" Of his own
manufacture.

oBsTRUcTING THE BUSINESS OF THE
HOUSE

The notice OF Saturdays proceedings, (under our
Congressional head) will show how the time Of the
House is wasted and what party Is responsible for
getting up idle discussion, and preventing the de-
spatch OF business. Mr.. RvEs Of Va, was permit
by "his political friends" to whom, after new
parliamentary fashion, he addressed his appeal Tor
indulgence instead Of 10 the House, TO occupy the
whole day, AFTER the morning hour, with what he
called personal explanation, but which was IN
reality, mere political party speech
We hope that the independent members, VIII put a
stop to this abuse OF indulgence, by which partisan
dispositions smuggisd into the House, under the
name OF personal explanations" Two minutes
would have been abundanlly sufficient for the call
Mr.. RIvEs n. ade on Mr. JESFsR and for the an
swer thereto. And in this case, to say moth
ing OF the bad taste of mixing up a parcel
Of political topics, and miscellaneous matter, with
point which the gentleman from Virginia,
after so many rhetorical aourshes, had declared
affected his honor the abuse OF the Houses indul-
gence, was a grievous wrong TO many claimants
upon the justice of government The bills for whose
benefit were most gratuitously and unjusty post
poned, to allow this scene, we were going to say
farce, TO be enacted
The explanation" 1t will be perceived, amount
cd exactly nothing at all II Twas 'point nopoint
as Mr.. Wise well said. But Mr.. Ripes got in his
speech and them it being too late TO attend to the bu
siness OF the ill-nsed claimants the House ad-
journed.

" We live in blessings, till we are utterly

sources from whence they flow. We speak
OF our civilization, our arts, our freedom.

Christianity out of the pages of mans his
