Caleb Gushing, delivered address at Newbnryport
Mass, the 4th Of July last in which he told some
home truths, as the following extract shows:
SHOW, then, is the Union so dear every patriotic
heart, and such inestmabe value to all of u.s. to be
preserved! reply to this question by stating how
think it may be destroyed; or at least how you, the
people of Massachusetts,, If you labor diligently and
zealously in that view, may do much to promote and
finally consummate the dissolution of the Union.
Desiring and intending to dissolve the Union you
will the first place, as you have already done know
ingiy and of malice aforethought, infringe as State
upon express provisions of the Constitutions for the
avowed purpose of injury to the citizens of other
States. You will, in the second place, as you have
already done, maintain such unconstitutional legisa
ton on the ground of your conscience not permitting
you to execute the injunction of the
demonstrating to the other States of the Union, that
no compact of association with you is of any avail
since you in effect claim the privilege of dsregarding
the law Of the land at pleasure. and Of being dpens
ed, not by any papal authority, but by your own
pricious conscience, from keeping your implied en-
gagemens, even your solemn, express oath of fea
ty to the Union.
By these and doctrines, steadily persevered in,
you the State of Massachusetts, may hope to succeed
in dissolving the Union, far that consists of
written constitutional compact. Of the individual
citizens of Massachusetts, each and all may do much
to the same end, by exerting themselves to kill the
spirit Of the Constitution.
In this aim you will let pass unimproved no occa-
sion for violent, habitua systematic msrepresenta-
tons and denunciaon of the character and principles
of your fellow citizens of other States. In order to
do this more thoroughly, you will establish newspa-
pers, form societies, and hold anniversary and other
meetings, for the sole chief object of exaggeratng
their faults and maligning their motives and actions
If accustomed to writing public speaking, you will
publish books pamphlets, perambulate the coun
try, delivering lectures in the same sense. And if
you hold any station comforting on you authority as
ciety, you will not fail to make your Office the special
means, as much as possible, of disseminating such
obliquy and detracton. Thus you will eventually
succeed in completely alternating from you the regard
of the citizens OF other States and preparing them to
accept the disunon you tender to them, and change
readily from the condition of your countrymen that
of your foreign enemies"
Hon. DAVID S. REID. This gallant Democratic
republican, Governor elect of this State arrived in
this place on Wednesday last. His health, which
had been much impaired by the abors of the campaign
and which was prostrated in the Mountains by Sc
vefe attack of Illness is in great measure restored
While his demeanoris as modest as ever, he wears
with grace and dignity the laurels of the glorious
victory which encirce his brow enjoying his tr-
umph with as much GOODNESS as he bore his former
defeat. Thosgh grateful for such unprecedented
support from intelligent people, his personal ee-
walton seems not to have excited in him any other feel
ing than heart felt qualification at the triumph of those
much ability, ardor, and discretion. He expresses
his views national and state policy without reserve;
and, in conversation with him we learned enough
to enable to say, that should majority of the
bers of the Legislature agree with him in opinion,
[of which have doubt,) measures will be adop-
ted calculated to promote the best interests of Stare
and to restore confidence among the people in the
rity and patriotism of those who necessarily cho
to make laws and execute them.
