present system, to support rowdes aud blacklegs
in order 10 obtain their aid and assisiance-hrst,
for procuring their ENTHUSIASTICALLY, in ad'
vancing their election-and, lastly, to continue the
same rotten and corrupt system, and support in
idleness the worthless characters who make a
livelihood by it. Let such system be adopted,
and both parties would in short time be purged
of all rowdies and rowdyism, and decent, honora-

MAssAcHus IT'S ELECTION multiplication TRI-
UMPH OVER WEBSTER AND THE CoNsTrruTIoN.-
The returns from the Massachusetts, election are
most dsgrscefully blackened and begrimed with
abolition, free-soil, and notification. The gam
bling tricks of the free. soers with the democracy,
surpass the singular shutting in our own State, OF
the Silver Greys with the Greeley Guards at
Utica. The democratic and free.soil combina.
ton in Massachusetts, have neutralized, if they
have not carried, the Legislature, which has
TO elect United States Senator to fill Mr.. Web
ster's place, at present devolvng, by appoint
ment, upon Mr.. Winthrop. This is an awkward
piece of business. From our returns the wings
have only eighteen out of the forty senators OF the
Assembly; and, as each house votes separately in
choosing U. S. Senator, the chances for wing
in Mr. Webster's place are mighty slim. The
combination intended 10 effect such rebuke
upon Mr. Webster as the return OF aH opposition
member in his place; and hence the unholy al
lance to compass that object
The failure of Palfrey and Allen, (aboltonists,)
amounts to nothing satisfactOry-there being three
candidates for Congress in each of these districts.
But the severesi blow to Mr.. Webster-a blow
which comes like Paixhan shot between wind
and water-is the result in Horace Mann's dis
trict Here distinct issue was made. The paper
war on the slavery question between him and Mr..
Webster, growing out of the great patriotic speech
of the latter in the Senate, was carried into the
State canvass. The Wing nominating conven-
ton, with the noble object of sustaining Webster,
threw Mann overheard, and nominated a Mr..
VALLEY in his place, as the wing candidate. What
is the result? Mr.. Mann runs upon his own hook,
between'a regular candidate of each party, and
here is the summing up:-
For Samuel ii. VALLEY webster, wing, and
regular whig Dominee). .................... 4,385
For whitaker, (democrat) ................ 1920
oOatseiipB. 10
Total G,s5i
For Horace Mann (outsider) ................ 6,so5
Mann's abolition anti Webster msjor;ty... l5t
Here we see, on an issue of Webster and anti
Webster-an outside candidate, rejected by his
own party, beating the wings and democrats COM
bined; and upon no other ground in the world than
for his ultra poisonous and fanatcal abolition
course at The last session.
This is notification run mad. Garrison and his
DEVILS imps could ask for nothing more in such a
contest. IL will cripple the spirit of compromise
in Congress-it will strengthen the secession feeling
in the Southt will Strengthen the traitorous multi
fers, and make hem more brawling than ever In
such crisis il becomes The Union men Of all par
parties to give an encouraging hand TO Mr.. Web
ster, and his manly vindcation of the Union, the
Constitution and The laws Let prompt
Council be their shield.
We must be brief when traitors take the field. ~
