From tie Globe t>- THE YOUNG HARTFORD coSFES HUN i4'

Fnoland, and especially Boston, ever silice ,ho Massachusetts leaeralists discovered that they could not govern the nation, has just doyelo,,ed itself anew in the anti-anneXatlon convention held in Faneuil Hall the 99ih and 3Oth of January.
 It will be profitable inquiry fer the whole country. and especially for the democrats ih the two sections sought to be severed, te look mnutely into the origin, designs, and combinations of this gathering. ltorlglnaied with whgs, who are the nearest of Kin 10 abolitionists; and the call for the convention was signed almost alternately by wings pro- ner. whig voting aboitionists, and abolition voting abolitionists l. was the first step to q New England and free State convention Tor political power or disunion.
 It was hoped and expected to draw III some of the Massachusetts democrats and members of the legislature, and thus aid the real oaject and the design of this assemblage, 10 gel hP northern party out of the Texas question, which should combine with the wings, as the leaders of this new party, all abo1tionists, all democrats with abolition tendencies, and all democrats who could he excited 10 jealousy against tie South, on the sectional question oi division of power. and the alleged prepon- derance of slageholding nfuence-the only element with which the old leayen of fede- ralism now hopes to leaven the whole lump of northern opposition to the next admins tralion.
 In this last design there was an entire iall- ure. Nota demoefatof the 54,090 who voted for the gifted Bancroft, took any part m thls new Hartford convention and the whole de- mocraey of the Union will honor and respect them for their patriotic and manly stand. The ingredients of the convention were the old federalists of the ITarlford-eonyention school; the whigs proper, who 90 all lengths with the abolitiorists, except supporting their ean- didates, and who hate the South for having sustained Jefferson, Madison, Van Bafen, and Polk, against the federal combinations oi the North, from John Adams to Daniel Webster and Henry Clay-the ultra abolitionists of the Garrison school, who oppose political organization but always vote for wings, and went in a mass for Mr. Clay, and the pofiti- cal abolitionsts-the liberty party, as they are called-who have heretofore kept Up u party organization, but now indicate d CO., operation, if not fusion, with the whigs.
 Outside of these classes of politicians ill New England are the business men of the whig party-the merchants, manufacturers, and their dependants of the laboring classes, who are compelled to vote for their employ CTS or lose their occupations. These make up the inert body of the whig party h Mas sachusetls, and are the most substantial and honest portions of 1t; but they have hlle or no influence in tie political organizations, which arc left ill the hands of the mere par tlsans.
 It Is remarkable that, in this anti-Texas convention, not one of the Sabslaatiat hef- chants or maa4faeiHefs ef Bosion fook aay part. The reason, We presume, Is, that this class arc in reality desirous to see Texas an- nexed, but ale forced by party discipline to leave the whig organization to make all they can out of anti-Texas and anti-southern pre- judces.
 The democrats of Massachusetts keep alool from and above these lIartford-consention influences; and hence the great difficulty they have of maintaining the national position they stand on i'll bold opposition to sectional pre- judlces The main body stand firm; and when these sectional asperities become mod flied, they will regain the aseendeney ill the State. But whether in majority or mino-
  democracy. The only error they have fallen into has been in sometimes running a race with the whigs in the legislature, 10 prevent the abolition feeling drawing off democrats into the whig ranks. This led to the silent concurrence of democratic members of the legislature in lS42 and ISIS in the cunningly- devised anti-Fexas resolves of Mr. Charles F. Adams, (son of the ex-President, and a leading whig aboltionist, and his new edition of the Hartford-convention resolve against the slave representation compromise of the con. stitatlon. The democratic party ol Massa. chusetts have never sanctioned or approved those resolves, and they were passed almos surreptltously through the legislature And al all events, the democrats of the legislature of 1913, who fell into the snare set bv Mr Charles r. Adams, are as consistent in now going for union with Texas upon a fal Knowledge of question winch was then littlC understood and artlnly presented iu but a single aspect-the extension of slavery) as the wings are who brought forward and car red those anti-Texas resolves in 1912 and lo43, and in lS4l supported Henry Clay who declared that he should be glad to see Texas annexed, and that the question of sla. very had nothing to do with it
 The combinations of the recent convention held at Boston, and its relation te it's paren stock, the Hartford convention, will best bt seen by the political atiinities of the prncipa affinities of the principal peflomess in thi. first act of the federal drama of s.lhe Union dissolved
 The president of the convention was Hon John .M Hffiiams, late chief justice of the common pleas, who resigned his office be- cause the democrats reduced his salary m )S43.
