Wings of Massachusetts,

Those of you that have honestly supported the prin.
cpes of freedom, heretofore protested by the party,
must now see, if you are willing to what is paIpa-
BILE the days SUM- that you have been betrayed
and sold, and that attempt is made to transfer
you to the slave drivers and women whppers
of the South viii you ratify the contract, and con-
sent to the transfer? If So it is easily done. vote
for George n. Briggs decides the whole question, and
gives the proof of your ealty. But, if you wish to
throw off the yoke which unprincpled leaders would
impose upon you, and stand up in the conscious dignity
Of your manhood, and spurn the chains that are pre-
pared for you, you will vote for the free soil ticket
The choice is before you-Brggs and Slavery, Phil
Hips and Liberty. Which will you choose.

The Wings of the Eighth District have, at length
hauled down the flag of FREEDOM and run up the pi.
rate flag of SLAVERY in its stead. Horace Mann
for his uncompromsng adherence principle, is
enormously thrown overheard, and nominated in
his stead who will have scruples in following Web.
stcr Clay, Berren, Fillmore, s. Co., whenever they
may lead Daniel Webster has again triunphed, his
mission to Massachusetts far the first and eighth
districts concerned has been successful and he may
return to Washington and renew his assurances to the
slave power that the Wing Party of Old Massachusetts
is at its feet Aye the whg party of good old Massa-
chusetts-that party which formerly passed such no.
Die resolutions in favor of Liberty-that party which
made such professions to conscience and to principle
has, in the hands of political gamblers and placement
been made to eat its Words to undo its dongs
and to give the lie to all its former professions to bow
its neck to the yoke of the taskmaser and apparently
TO be content with its degradation.
"Facile deceisus Arani''
Easy is the descent Hell. 1t is toilsome uphill
COURSE The first step taken, and conscience and prn.
cpe removed of the way, the rest follows natur
ally as can be. &c. when the surrender was made at
Philadelphia in 1913, all that has followed clearly
foresladowed. The transfer of good part of New
Mexico to he slave laws of Texas the repeal of the
Mexican laws which excluded slavery from the terrific,
res, the rejection of the Wimot proviso, the organic
ing of the territories with the provision that they may
be admitted as SLAVE STATES, and the enactment
Of that sum total of iniqutes, the fugitive slave law, all
followed as natural consequences of that act And, il
any other degradation, humiating than these,
shall be required by the slave power, it will readily be
conceded by the party. Every step forward but weak

Aye, let it be remembered, that every vote given for
George N. Briggs is vote for
~ The Fugitive Slave Law;
70 For the repeal of the Mexican Law which pro-
hiblted slavery in New Mexico and Utah;
70 For the strangfug of the Wimot Proviso
GYY- For the provision that Mexico and Utah max

territory of New Mexico to the slave laws of Texas;
70 And for the unrghtcous swindle, by which TEN
MILLIONS of dollars also given to Texas with.

Those who approve of these measures, should, Of
course, vote for George n Briggs. Those who do not
and wish to give efficiency to their disapprovaI, will
vote for the FREE SOIL TICKET.

Doughface Logic

It is said that the new law suspends the operation
The writ OF 1abeas Corpus. Legal authority of the high
est kind declares this be untrue and we all know
without being Jurists, that law supercede the
constitution"
We call the especial attention of readers to the
above quotation which originally appeared in leter
recently written by the Honorable Sam. A. Eliot. The
letter intended by its author justification of the
Fugitive Slave Law, andis altogether composed of It's
of such meretrcous logic and ncoheren synax as
the above unique extract.
1t is not often thatany man, pretending to the posses
SIGN of head, presents the world such an undgested
abortion of ideas is this letter. 1t is often that
even the most servi!e parasite admits unequivocay
his utter desttution of independence and his perfect
norance or snobbishness as does Honorable Sam. A..
Eliot in this document Such letters moral curiosities
Future meaphysicans and moralsts will regard them
with WONDER arguments against the universally ad-
mtted fact that there conscience resident in every
human soul.
Honorable Sam. A. Eliot voted for the "fugve
slave law.'' This Cr9ssus who has subscribed money
to assist fugitive slaves in their fight who has written
euogistc biography of that noble fugitive, Father
Henson, of Dawn Mills, lent all his personal and &C.
quIIeu power DIS OIL DOStOn, pace
fugitive slave law the statute book; and now he con-
esses that he either ignorant Of Indifferent to the
character of that bill when he voted for it. This con-
ession which would have been so humiliating to any
well meaning man, we find in Eliot's declaration that
the slightest legal authority has said the slave-cetch
ing law is not unconstitutional When MI Eliot refer.
to the highest legal authority he means Attorney Gener
al Crittenden.
Now how can the opinion of this slaveholdng dsc
pile of Coke upon Litleon or Machavel, avail Mr.. Eli
OF apology for voting for that infamous law-ever
supposng that the VIGOROUSLY untenabe opinion of Crit
tenden were sound MIR. Eliot had made the tyranca
clauses Of that bill law, far he could do So be-
fore the doubling Fillmore had applied for the advice
the Southern Periclesbeore the oracle Crtenden had
spoken.
Crttenden's opinion ''was in the deep bosom of that
Scion buried when Mr. Eliot voted to make christian
y treason and il is cowardy and mean of him to seek
shelter behind that opinion Covering beneath
the storm of indignation which his foul betrayal Of lib
erty has produced he tries find shelter from its forces
by crawling beneath the wing of this ave-hoding de-
fender.

The contrary course, and many opposing those meas

responsibility.
There are thousands of free soil Wings, who have
hitherto remained in the party from an honest belief
that it would be true to its ant-slaverv profess
sons. They must see the true and inevitable no.
ston of the party. The bunker cotton Wings have
acquired the rule, and are binding it faster and
faster in the bonds of the slave power every day.
There is no escape from it, Why, then, should these
men longer remain in fellowship with such party ;
There is no longer any excuse Tor them. Let them
come out and enroll themselves in the ranks of hose
who go for Freedom first for Freedom last, and Free
dom orever Then may they render their country and
that sacred cause a most acceptable service. Then
may they prepare the way for that great contest now
before us, which is to determine in 1882 which is to
rule this country, FREEDOM or SLAVERY.

Since the receipt of this letter, The ven
cradle DIR. Dick has been brought to the
very gates of the grave by sickness. For
days he seemed to be on the very confines
of another world, and all hope of his re-
covery was relnquished by his friends
But he was marvellously raised up again,
to encounter new experience Of mlsfor-
tune and priyation. The copyrights of
his books are all sold, and their revenue
consumed. Not farthing comes back TO
him from the millions, of volumes Of his
works in circulation on both sides of the
Atlantic. He is now on the verge of
eighty, and he can write no more for the
world. But to crown the climax Of this
unfortunate condition, the little annual in
come which he had saved out of all his
wears Of arduous labor, to sustain himself
and family, when he could earn nothing
more with his pen for their sustenance-
that too has failed at this hour of trial and
affection; and from intelligence received
by the last steamer, the good man is re-
duced to a state Of almost entire destitu
ton. All his resources are cut oil, except
the respect and sympathy of. those who
have profited by his works. And now, at
this hour, we would appeal to ali his
friends in America to testify their sense of
his worth, and of their obligations TO his
labors in a way which shall administer
that aid and comfort TO these last years of
his life. which words cannot give. If the
American publishers, who have realized
fortunes out of the free plumber of his
talents and genius, would send him cent
a rolun,e on all the editions of his works
which they have sold, it would place him
in opulence. But they will not do this !;
it would be establishing a dangerous pre-
cedent for their trade, to admit the slight
est moral obligation TO foreign authors for
works which the laws Of the land permit
them to appropriate to their own profit,
without a farthing's compensation for the
wears of intellectual labor which produced
them. No, it is TO the readers of DR..
Dicks writings that we would address
this appeal for some proof of their esti-
nation. of his merits, which shall assuage
the solicitudes of this hour of his afflic.
ton. 4 small contribution from each--a
sum they would never miss-would place
him beyond the experience and fear Of
poverty during the rest of his days. And
what they do, should be done quickly.
