Persons must not speak of the Yankees, till
after sometime sojoun among them. The
salient points of their character become then
more rounded, aud more agreeable to the feel
ings.
For my own part have found so much among
them worthy Of observation SO much originality,
such indomilable energy of character and, with
al so many mirth-provoking traits, that intend
printing the notes have taken, and publishing
them TO the admiring world in book Of octave,
entitled "The Yankees Revisited"
Some days since, tripped it to Dedham,
hourshing village in the near vicinity of this
place. not so remarkable in historical annals a.
some others, but no less agreeable a residence
The occasion of my visit, and which induced
many thousands 10 assemble, was a promised
address from that awful oddly, the Hon. john
Quincy Adams 10 his constituents. The Pres
byteran church-rather au inappror ate place
by the way for the purpose and the sentiment,
of the distinguished orstor-was admiralty
crowded. Let me dismiss the audience by
spying, that larger portion consisted e
the speakers female constituents, who
were well dressed and wei b. haved, and
some very pretty. Pruy girls are plen-
y here-but you rarely see a beautiful wo-
man. The masculine gender was less prcdomi-
nant ON the occasion, and less attractive, and
more unno cessary, as the theme OF the discourse
is one most agltared in this section by the
temindiities. 1t was slavery, in the beginning,
middle, and ED.
The orator was bittt,r-otherwise he would
not have been natural. The acidity of his tenn
per qualities his words. He denounced he
Constitution, for the compromise Of jarring IN
terests which. it promises TO observe. Drpre-
Gated the ''untow ard acct ssion of John Tyler,
as means of maintaining that compromise BY
the maintenance of that Constitution. Abjur, d
the annexation Of Texas, from fear it might
give preponderance TO the South 50 great a, TO
prevent the Legislative abolition Of slavery
promised strenuous opposition TO The measure,
and renewed Efforts in promotion Of the design,
of the dsorganizIng agitators, political ab9l-
tioni l..
"IIe had no time 10 speak of banks" No
time TIL ater the next Presidential election.
The Bank question must not be mooted this
campo On. The points reserved as issues among
Northern Whiggies, are, 'Judicious Tdif,'
protective or not-high or low, exclusive or
amabls-siiIl judicious There is much viz
tue in that same judicious opposition to
the admission of Texas a masked battery
against the federation OF slavery. This question
will serve as kind Of halfway house for the
Wings and Abotionists TO meet at-bolh merge
the naked question of "Savery or no-Slavery'
into this subtle and disguised idea. You wal
find Eastern and Northern Whigs 10 a man,
10 embatted array against the discussion Of the
Texas question, the approaching Congress- and
these political Abolltonists, with th, venerable
man at their head, iedng the annual slavery
di cussion at the Capitol, and breaking ground
in It's stead upon ibis compromised question.
Such is he grand principle of the Holy Ali
ance"-a point ddppur for these men TO place
the lever which is to raise them once more INFO
power and dominion. The friends Of Union
for in this conspiracy the Union itself is Sc
condary consideration-must be alive al a Crisis
so perilous to its duration, and must rally under
a Cheflain vho from local feeling, from old po-
litical assoc aions, from pride Of opinion, aud
honest conviction, will be found ever true and
determined.
These two questions will serve the Eastern
Wings well as political capital the coming
campaign; they will be the leading topics Tor
( agitation among the Yankees. Towards the
South, the Janus Of Whiggery will turn another
face. Whggery changes its forms with Pro
team facility, and its names as often.
