FREE-soL AND DIsuNIoN ARE THE SAME.
Where, we ask, would we come out at Could
we carry a school district in the State? And yet,
we ask candid men, if the above are not the issues
which the writers in the Daily Advertiser, Cou-
rier and Journal, (Et tu, Brute p now advocate,
and call them Wing administration measures.
We deny that they eper cere Wing measures; zoe de-
ny that they are administration measures, and noe
deny, in particular, that they erer be forced upon
the Wing party Of the North as their measures.
Inconclusion, we shall be pardoned if we say one
word in regard to ourselves. The papers in this city
which oppose would give their readers to believe
that we are opposing the administration, and are
going over to the Free-soil party. They may rest
easy on that score. We have ever been Wing
we shall die Wing. We have devoted the best
years of our life to the support of the Wing party
and Wing principles. We have never voted any
other ticket, we have always voted the rhole
ticket We have advocated Wing principles in
the papers we have edited and upon the stump. 1t
has been our delight to be working Wing. We
have never asked any Wing administration,
either State or National, for All Office, either for
ourselves or any one of kin to US, and we think
we never shall. Our labors, such as they are,
have been with free hand and free heart to the
sration any thing, and if it is rejecediwe cannot
help it. We shall do our duty to the party and
to the country, and especially to the intelligent
and patriotic men who constitute the Wing party
of Massachusetts,. They are men who have, by
their wisdom and prudence, made Massachusetts
what she is Her rough soil is the field upon
which they have laborcd, and "their works
praise them" We believe that in what we have
said, we have reflected their sentiments, and have
been true to.ther history.
Curious Coincidence
We find in an exchange TIC following transla-
ton Of speech dciiN cred in the Island OF Mconi
in Greece, by the government candidate for the
Chamber Of Deputies, on the 18th October,
1850.
1t sounds wonderfully like some harangues
heard in this city Il few weeks prcviou, to that
time-aud proves That the language of power in
Greece and Washington is much the same:
Countrymen, the day has come when every
person is to give proofs whether he is favorable
or not to the government of the king The
stake is the defence of the country and to main
tain the privileges of our Island. Take heed
not to prove your own enemies by voting in
favor of those who brought the English to
Greece, and who will again bring them if the
power falls into their hands. Take care! If any
Of you dares 10 r0te against me shall co qSider
him as AREVOI.UTlONIST, and in my eapac-
ity OF Mayor will have him put in prison. As to
you, peasants, hear what am going to tell you,
will take the skin off your bodies if you vote
against me.
