Movements In Boston. !.
The proceedings of the legislature of Massachusetts, arr
exciting great attention We have already published thu
organization of the two houses, from which it would
appear that freesoier elected speaker of the

mere phantom.
How much more noble has been the course OF a Ger.

parties, who have united in earnestly writing 10 the
members of the legislature of Ohio in their several dis
