region of the earth.
And in that equal and steady advancement of
the agricultural condition of the State, which, as
the basis on which all other interests rest, must
sink, as it has done, with their adversely or rise
and flourish, as it has done, with their prosperity
The answer is also found in the full and sue
cessful development of the great Wing doctrines
Protection to Domestic Industry and the liberal
extension of Internal Improvement
These two great pillars of the prosperity OF the
Commonwealth have hitherto rested, and must
forever rest on the judcious application of the
Wing doctrine of corporate powers to the sue
cessful prosecution of great and hazardous enter
prise, in country like our own, of equal rights
and unequal fortunes. The magic power of this
great leveler of the wealth and power of the age,
is admirably portrayed in this Commonwealth.
Without the judicious application of corporate
power-giving equal security to the public
safety to individual interests-who but the Bar
lngs and Rothschilds of the old-the Astors and
Girards of the new world, could have engaged in
those enterprises, which steam and machinery
have already accomplished, and are about to
complish, in our own Commonwealth
Aided by this the mechanical and manufacture
ing establishments of the State-combining the
aggregated wealth, the energies and the intelli-
gence of the many-are enabled to hold proud
and successful competition with the individual
sagacity concentrated action, and wealth of the
few.
Aided by this, steam, the great motive power
of the world, has consolidated our Union, by its
facilities for transportation and travel, in the in
dissoluble bonds OF a great common interest :
superadded to those of common orgin-common
language-and common government.
These two great powers, thus aided, the I'M
doubted and legitimate offspring of Wing princi-
piles and policy-domestic protection and internal
improvement, counting their profits to themselves
by millions, and to the country by hundreds of
millions, have already turned our hamlets into
villages and our villages into Cities and our ven
cradle Commonwealth ranking low among her
sisters in space and soil, into State second to
none in wealth, in intelligence, in moral culture,
and in all the elements of civilized life and social
enjoyment.
Such, then, fellow citizens, have been, and
such this moment are, the fruits and the results
of Wing principles and Wing policy, under the
administration of the Wings of this Common
wealth.
You are asked to change, not only the Wing
principles Of administration, which have produc-
ed all this, but you asked to change the found
alton from which has sprung, and on which has
rested, all these results-the Constitution of the
Commonwealth.
You asked to change all this, and for what
Are those who advocate change and reform,
agreed in what that change and reform shall con-
sist Are those who agreed in opposition to
the Wings, agreed in any thing else Is it not
true, and lamentable as true, that while one
great Party is ready to launch the thunderboIts
of War, for Conquest and Slavery, another holds
the extinction of Slavery, and the immediate
emancipation OF the Slave, the only basis of po-
litical action While third, disregarding all
this, and unmindful of the Hamltons of the past
and the Gallatns of the present. find their only
bond OF union and principle Of action, in the as
sumption that the patriot can only be known in
the place of his birth.
Massachusetts, therefore, is divided, not only
as of DID, into two great parties, but in addition to
these, the more modern divisions of Anti Slavery
and Native Americans have assumed and per-
fected separate organization.
The origin, principles, and policy of the Wings,
and the results of those principles and policy,
der Wing administration, have already been con-
sidered.
This Conservative Party, under whatever name
it has acted, from Washington, its patron and
founder, to the present day, has been met by the
virulent opposition of the party now claiming the
name Of Democracy, but whose origin was in
opposition to the adoption of the Federal COnsti-
tuition and to the first Administration organized
under it, with the venerated Father of his Coun-
try at its head.
What are now the leading and avowed objects
of this party, as they may affect the interest and
character of our State
The enlargement of our already overgrown ter
ritory, by the admission of the foreign State of
Texas-and the reduction of the Tariff OF 1912
to the revenue standard These are their avowed
and ostensible objects.
Have the people OF Massachusetts any great
interests to be promoted by the accomplishment
of either of these measures?
The annexation of Texas as a subject not I'M
familiar to the ears or the understandings of the
Wings of Massachusetts.
They have marked its rise, like baleful me-
teor in the southern sky-seen its approach, bear
ing in its train the blackening pail of the Union
and felt its whitening influence on the Consti-
tuition of the country and the peace of the world.
But, whatever may be the event, Texas is not
yet admitted-and our constitutional relations to
that country have, as yet, undergone no change
whatever.
On this subject Massachusetts, has had but one
opinion. This opinion has been maintained with
singular unanimty and in every form in which
it has been promulgated, until recently, almost
without the shadow OF a shade of difference
among the various and conflicting political parties
of the Commonwealth.
This opinion has been solemnly and repeatedly
declared in her Legislative Halls, and in the Con.
ventions of her people, and maintained with dis.
tinguished ability by her representatives ia both
houses Of the Congress of the United States.
