TaE FOURTH DISTRICT.

=. or Tho heather maxim, that ''whom the
.,.onld destroy they first make nad' was never
go, illustrated than in the opposition OF the Iay'C

~, The only reasons that they give, OF have
pretended to give for il, are, first, that he voted
AGAINST Robert C. Winthrop, as Speaker oil The House.
and secondly, tha, he opposed the election oil zen lay
lar Granted But, so did Amos Tuck OF New hamp>
sbre vote against Winthrop and oppose Gen. Taylor;
ve, every Taylor paper in this State and New h"mp>
.he from he very respectable Advertiser and Courier
all The way down the Atlas, earnestly advocated Inc
..c,;on Of Tuck Why should they make this dis'Inc>
ionq Why this blowing hot and cold with the Same
,b Is i, because Tuck is the superior OF faIirey
No one will pretend ii Neither is il because Palirey
No, every way well qualified for the office, Tor he IS one
f The ablest and most accomplished men on the floor Of
Lo House The true reason may be found in the fact,
that IN Tuck's district, his democratic opponent was a
u;not proriso man. and would re elected on the see
ond rial under the plurality law if the Taylor men run
separate candidate, that, in either CASE an oppo
neu Of The administration, the slave question: would
he elected; but in Pareys district, il ne can De oe>
fea,ed and the seat left vacant, there will be one less
opponen Of slavery the House. than there VIII be ne
is chosen.
This The whole reason OF the difference in the Two
eases Ia the one they could not prevent the choice OF
Wilmo, proviso man, and went for the one most
Key 10 harmouize with them other points; but, IN
the other case they can dee al Psey it is sabs'an>

IL. in IdVOT
leaders Of Massachusetts have placed the party Last
fall in order dupe the masses, ihey mace gfea' pro,
fessions Of free soil principles Now 'hey are 'ouno
openly contendng for the success OF the save eA'eS
We'll, lei them go on, We have, some tunes oeen a
most ready 10 hope that they might succeed IN prevent
ing choice that the righteous indignation OF he peoN
Die might the sooner be aroused Tor her utter osei

Wrong as they do il is no excuse for our not cong
right lsdeed, ii makes the more lmPefaliVely our
duv 10 do all we can 10 counterfeit their Vaccinations
Let the Of the district then, rally and put orh
all their force and they viii assuTedly triumph.
The mass Of those who still adhere to the quonddm
Wing organization have sympathy with their leaders
in The objects which they aiming to accomplish =
Why, then should they longer suffer themselves thus TO
be led in opposition TO their principles We trust
thai, not few Of them will break through the party
shakes and give their votes for true representative OF
those principles in the person Of John g. Palirey They
- &, 10 themselves to ihe State. and 10 the cause OF
Freedom.
or those, too who have heretofore ranked with the
old Democratic party we have the most encouraging
hopes. Where can they find truer representative OF
nure democratic principles they were held IN the days
Of Jefferson and Madison, than John g. Palrey. HE
marty has been led wild goose chase By the southern
;on;s ftuis, till has fallen into tie ditch Its only
yyav OF, again is by recurrence to original principles
and an abandonment of those issues which must destroy
every party in the free States. The democracy Of Con
nec,icut Wisconsin, and Vermont, have noby led the
way in the work of regeneration Let those of Massa"
chusetts NOT lose good opportunity OF prohtng by
theI example.
The platform on which John G. Parey stands is broad
eaoagh for both wings and democrats to come together
in fralernal unon il they but honest men, seeking
only the good of their country, and the aseendancy Of
the fundamental principles which the government was
established II is one 10 which such men must come.
before the government can be restored 10 lis original
purify or those principles again regain their ascendancy
II is one 10 which such men fast Fastening, and, in
the day Of its triumph, which is at hand, The high.
est honor will be accorded 10 those who are earliest up
on it.
