Dear Sir: Two years ago the coming spring. when
the Abolition fever ragged 10 very great extent IN tins
city, and when il supposed that it would be mpos
sibe to blend it with either of the two great polca
parties, vote was passed at town meeting, that tbe
Aboonists should not have permission to assemble IN
the Town Hall for the purpose Of discussing their IN
cendary doctrines That vote has stood recorded upon
the town journals until the present time. To-day we
have had annual town election and the Federal'sts
being in majority Of nearly 300 votes it was thought
proper time TO conciaie the favor of the Aboonists
by resembling the vote against them The Abolition
lists clamorous in their denuncations against the
Administration party, and declared that they would sup
port Harrison only condition of repeal OF the vote
prominent Wing and vrulent Aboltionist John
Breed, the Mayor of the city, made motion 10 resclno
the vote, and it carried by overwhelming malo
ritz, all the Administration voting against The re-
peal, and the Wings almost to voting in the al
hrmatiye.
Why was this vote taken at this particular tme just
upon the eve of the Presidential election: The ques
ton is easily answered. Harrison nominated as
the Abolition candidate and Of every barrier tnat
had existed between the Federasts and AboltionIsts
must be broken down. that they might 60 into the
coming contest with the utmost union and harmony
This has now been done here and indeed throughout
New England Here, an Abotonist who is no'o De-
mocrat is as rare animal white black bird, while
every Aboltionist is notorious Federnlst and de-
cded supporter Of Harrison.
