eY That staunch frce-soil print the Hart
ford Republican, thus ryoices over the Massa-
chusetts coalition, and its consequences:
Mr.. BoUTwELL.--It il now settled, that this
gentleman is to be elected Governor of Massa-
chusetts. He is honest and capable, and he is
Free-soil Democrat who by word and deed
has opposed the Cass platform. This is what
the record shows. He was taken up as such
by the Democratic party of Massachusetts,, after
it suffered the blight Of Caleb Cusling's nomi-
nation. His letters, and his votes in the Massa-
chusetts legislature show where be stands.
Mr.. Palfrey sent circular TO the Free-so
members of the Massachusetts Legislature, advis-
ing them to adhere to Phillips for Governor,
and thereby hope to get both Governor and
Senator. The Hartford Courant, speaking Of
this circular, represents Mr.. PaIfrey as saying,
that Mr.. Boutwell, sis known moi to be opposed
to the Fugitive slave law" But is this not true.
known that Mr.. B. is not a "hunker."
In reply to the representation that Mr. Bout
well is an "adherent of Mr.. Cass," the Boston
Standard, Democratic paper, says 1.-THE sup
porting Of Gen. Crss by electing Dir. Boutwell,
is the merest chmera in the world. Gen. Cnss
is politically dead and buried and so is the
Democratic party with any candidate upon the
Cass platform" Again,-'That Mr.. Boutwell,
is not, and is not likely to be- supporter of the
Cass non-intervention doctrine, or Of the Fugi-
tive slave law, VIC have heretofore conclusiveIy
shown"
1t is very certain that Mr.. Boutwell, stands
quite as well on the slavery question as Gov.
Briggs,---and quite as certain that he is much
more independent Of Boston untos At any
rate, he will probably be Governor, and Charles
Sumner United States Senator for the long
term. result with which we shall be satisfied.
We say Charles Sumner will be Senator, be-
cause we infer that he is to be the Frce-soil
candidate. lie is hiring man, with talent and
requirements of the highest order.
SHADING THE EYEs.--Some people cover their
eyes with green or other shades when anything
is the matter with them. This is wrong IL is

injure the sight instead of strengthening it. from
their creating heat and Inflammation in the parts
| effected If the eye be injured, and light insup-
portable, the best way is to tie cool linen hand
kerchief over il. We heard it stated as curious
facts that, when the English army returned from

ophthamia who had worn no fronts to Their
hats--Phila. Sat Express.

AK ''ORFUL DRAUeHT."--An old acquaint-
nnce Of ours in the country, INDUCES in very
exaggerated style of description and illustration
in his ordinary conversation. For instance,
when describing the effect Of an alteration Of his
kitchen chimney which he had ordered his ma
son to make, he said that "before the chimney
was altered, it drew the wrong way so power
fnl that every flock of wild geese that few over
the town for ten years, was sucked down into
his fireplace; but since the alteration has been
made, the draught was so strong that if he
should hook one end ofan OK chain in the mid
die Of the kitchen floor, the other end would
stand quivering up the chimney.
