MASSACHUSETTS NULLIF1cATIoN-MEss AGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT. The subverson and overthrow OF the
fugitive slave lawhe daring front has as
sumed IN open day, in the city OF Boston, as witness
ed in the recent outrageous assault upon the United
States officers there's and the rescue of an alleged fu-
gtive in their rghtful custody, have created an In
intense feeling in Washington, as we are assured on
the faith of private telegaphic dispatches received
last night. Northern men blush tor Shame that
New England should ever set up SO alarming pre-
cedent; while their Southern coadIutors-trlends oil
the Union, if Union there is to be-express the deep
est modification and regret that nuhcatlon-oPen
and declared NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. have been permit
ted to triumph, as it did, by the white men OF the
metropolis of New England. The question is asked,
has Massachusetts law only for blacks! Has Boston
no law for white men Is the negro mob to be cheer
ed on in the scandaous and criminal desecra-
tion of a solemn of Congress, made by the rep
resentatives of the people OF the United States
With such scenes before their eyes, men begin to
doubt the saving efficacy of the Compromise agreed
upon at the last session of Congress-of the efficacy
falling to pieces Why do you ask us to make
compromises with you here in Washington, is the
question the South propounds to the Morrill, - when
your people at home-your constltuents-are laugh
ing in derison their part OF the bargain Nay,
not only arning and instgating the most degraded
of their rabbe rise up and trampe the constitution
under their feet, but bargaining in their Legislature to
send to the United States Senate for six years
who stands confessed the sworn foe not only of our
institution, but of every law that shields it God
| knows, we have enough of that stamp here
alreadY-incendiares ready and willing to light up
the torch of dsunon and civil war, whenever the
friends Of the Republic show disposition to taeI
or retreat.'
r This is the language. we assured, which the
of the mob and the at Boston drew forth
at the seat of government yesterday. 1t was Ian
guage, too, that found echo in the exciting debate
which sprung up in the Senate upon the question OF
referring snndry petitions that offered for the
repeal of the slave law. Why any petitions should
be presented all for the repeal of this ordinance,
e cannot divine. 1t is the work of supererogation

HuMBUGGERY. In 1870 the election for Presiden
- was carried by Humbuggery. 1t was the deusiv
$ cry of Log-Cabins, Hard Cider, Coon-Skins, OiC
Guards, &C., that placed General Harrison in tn
Presidential Chair, and no test of principle.
+ In 1874, James X. Polk, beat Henry Clay on prin
e ciple. The friends of Mr.. Clay were not able Il
e start any other Humbug than that of his being TIT

Soldier, was no Statesman and therefore unfit b,

a no-party man., who had - friends reward ant
enemies TO punish" General Taylor taking
the Presidential Chair proved be ultra in his Fed

people with, and to make them lose sight Of prin
T. cpe, and the merits of the opposing Candidates,

By this time, the people ought be getting tired

e it, get in Office without principle capacity.

is Tremendous party, composing large majority of
e the people of the United States
IT And upon fair issue of principle and the relative
II merits OF the two men, they will always elect their
o President by an overwhelming majority.
