Boston, March Goth 1913.
Mr. EDIToR.-Boson is great place beyond all
question, and her magistrates rulers or whatever you
may call EN- are great "crtters' surcy at least they
think themselves So and probably this is satsacto-
ry at present to them if they really were SO. But
great as these little magnates are they small e.
nough to disgrace the city, disgrace themselves, ana
make all good men ashamed. The recent drunken
SPREE at the "Revere House" with the congressional
committee, is proof sufficient.
After the last funeral ceremony over the remains Of
J. @. Adams had been completed, the committee on
their return were entertained at the Tremont House,
by the committee of the Legislature, and furnished
with plenty Of gr9g! This was not enough how
ever. Another entertainment was given at the "Rey-
ere House," by the city authority in conjunction with
the legislative committee, as ] understand, Some
were opposed to furnishing the liquor, but few Of the
"bir bugs" (of whom Hon. (N Abbot Lawrence was
one, as is said offered to pay for the liquor and the
offer was accepted. The vote of the common coun-
Gil and alderman was 4G in favor and against groq
The expense of it is stated to be only $4,000 Two
thousand two hundred dollars for liquor at one enter

tools or fools enough without them whose conscien-

our fellow beings, in Christian America, groanad un-
der bondage, the worst that ever existed on the
earth. During this time, doubtless, hundreds have
beea torn from the fond embraces of husband, wife
father mother brother or sister, and sold to the trader
in human bengs-in the souls and bodies of men
hurried off to some far distant State there to groan
under the lash Of the cruel oycrscer, till death shall
relieve them of all the miseries of this world. Hun
dreds, perhaps thousands during this brief space OF
time, have been suspended in the most disglacelul
manner, between the heavens and the earth, and
scourged with the yrants heavy LASH and beaten with
the merciess paddle, till the body was left as descrb

The State Of Parties.

The editor of the National Era whose diacernment
and candor, and even charity, are acknowledged by
al parties in recent number Of his paper gives the
result of his careful and deliberate observation of the
Of the state ami tendencies Of the whig and democratic
parties through heirraprosonmtves in Congress, rca-
tive to the slavery question connected with the APP
proachine Presidential election. After promising
that the "prcsent Congress is an olectionary one'-
that "ew questions are discussed unless with special
reference to the selection of candidates for the next
Presidcncy,"-ho editor goes on to give the substance
of a recent debate in Congress upon the merits Of
Gen Taylor for the Presidency, in theco ofwlich
it is more than limited by Mr. Ducr, of N. York, and
other leading "anti-sayory whigs rs they are called
that Gen. Taylors opposition 10 The Hjinot Pr0uiso,
will be no bar to u nomination at the hands Of the
Wings, provided he give evidence Of being a Wing
upon the subjects of the tariff currency internal i'm
proyemeus, &C., and that the fact Of his accepting
a nomination at the hands of Wing National Con-
vention, would be sufficient evidence of his attach
ment to such principles. Very conclusive evidence
this would be- when it is notorious that he has already
accepted nomination at the hands Of whig, democrat
ic and Native American Conventions!
After reviewing the position of both parties upon
this subject the editor Of the Era gives the following
as his deliberate concuson-a conclusion which all
intelligent ana unprejudcod observers of the signs Of
the present times must admit to be fully correct
ave regard the non-alayeholding people of the
country, North and South betrayed by the leaders
of the Wing and Democratic parties acting under the
dictaton of Slave Power There can be no doubt Of
this For the sake of eloctng Northern Democratic

had consecrated it to freedom.

"0lher Great Interest" ~""Gen TAYLOR

One of the most plausible and effective arguments
brought by tie wings against the Liberty party during
the last presidential election was that our candidate
had but tone idea, that of opposition to slavery So
far said they we approve of him; his views meet ours
exactly but then there other great interests that
we are unwilling to sacrifice for the anti slavery
cause Give Us a candidate thoroughly antisayery
as you please-the more the botter,-but pledged IN
favor Of protective tariff, distribution, internal i'm
proyements, &c, and we viii give lin cordial
support. And then they would utter great swelling
words about the absolute necessity of having Presi-
dental candidate thoroughly committed upon these
great leading measures Of government. But the Lib
erty party tenacousy persisted in putting Man first,
and tariffs afterwards and the wings took their chosen
course of ranking tariffs above the rights of mainland
lost BOTH
But now what striking commentary do we behold
upon this whg doctrine Of 1874! The signs Of the
times pretty clearly indicate that Gen. Taylor will be
the candidate of the wings for the next presidency
that he will receive their support generally, and proba-
hiy be elected. Well what are his views upon these
"other great interests" so ndebly inscribed in the
creed of the wings? Listen and learn-Are you in
favor Of protective tariff: 81 shall be governed by
the constitution Of my country" Are you in favor OF
internal improvements? O" shall walk in the footsteps
Of Washington and Jefferson" ARE YOU WIG:
81 have never voted in my lilelo not belong to any
party shall make pledges to none and be the canaid
ate Of none! !" And last let as put question, which
the wings have faledto ask, if asked has not beer
answered, even as explicitly those above Are yor

PROCLAMATION FOR FAsr.--We learn, from the
Tcymoat Chronicle, and few of the favored papers
of the State, TINT the Governor has issued his pro-
camation for our annual Fast Surprising it to be
genuine and not finding therein any prohibition Of
the observance of this scriptural and timehonored
custom to such fanatics as are in the habit of peru
sing our sheet, have transferred it to our columns
Were we allowed to suggest an amendment to this
proclamation, should move to add specification Of
one two Remembering sins of which this nation is
now guilty, and which impcatlvely demand immediate
and sincere humiliation, fasting and prayer-sins, too
which even the Governor himself viii admit to be The
great scourges Of this nation at the present moment.
Perhaps, however, the Governor feels as does Rev.
editor within our knowledge, who is DESTROYS of pub
fishing series Of articles upon the cUiS Of ,oa but
deems it oXpedient to wait until the present war is
over.

and done their duty he believed the jury had intend

testimony am condemned shall wait patiently til
that time comes; choosing my lot rather than that
