The Boston Atlas, of Monday, in leading article of
rather ncoherent and harmless character generally
INDUCES in a few special vagares which, think, do
add much its reputation for wisdom, and certain
ly do not accord with the prestige which it has
qured for dignity The position of the Atlas at this
tme is, to mind, a melancholy illustration of the
sedave effects of treacherous ncnations and bad COM
pany. Attached to Whiggsm, from sensual rather
than moral principles, it has, with ptable mbecity,
beheld the seduction of the party to Webstersm,
and then has allowed itself be dragged down by the
grossness of the latters nature, to the position and
procedure of such papers as the "Bee" But to the
article of Monday. 1t is what may be distinguished as
a combination article. In it, general admissions in no
wise honorable the character of Boston, are mixed
up with false logic, ubiant selfassurance and direct
alsehoods in order that the partizans of Mr. Webster
may be encouraged every exertOn compass the
election of X. c.. Winthrop to the Goyernorshp.--
We admit the statement of the Atlas that there is no
better missionary ground in the State than the city of
Boston," and we believe that that city would not lose
anything if there should be exchange of some Of its
wealth for little of the spirit of humanity; but the
language of trade and traffic in which the atlas speaks
Of cauvassing that political strong hold of its party,
does not lead to hope much of good from the mis-
sion proposes. 1t deprecates attempts at individual
conversion because it has "known many wherein
vast labor expended effect the conversion Of one
political sinner, and it urges, instead of this, that
whole SHOALS of sleeping politicians be ished up on
election day, and carried the ballot box in order to
vote for R. c. Winthrop. We almost appreciate
the difficulty which the Atlas anticipates in cases o
individual conversion, seeing how little moral induce
ment they offer the neanest of politicians
to become Wings; and in view, also, Of the labor anc
expense that required in the conversion Of MIR
Webster to Hunkerism; but strong in the belle
that the honest men of Massachusetts can and wi
defeat Mr.. Winthrop, despite Of all supernumerary aid:
we do not expect that the Of that gentIema
will be advanced much by the wholesale plan proposed
As an incentive to the Wings to organize, the Alta
says:
The two branches of the Coalition have but one pril
cipe in common and that is, the division of the spoil
The side talks against the other, and vet the hoI
of common share of the public pIunder forces them
combine and act
We wonder who this "spoil and punder'' was
ruhessly stolen from. 1t is the public Offices Of Il
State that the Atlas means, and these, we apprehen
belong to the people, If SO, they in the g of II
people; and it seems certainly accordant with Il
spirit of repubcansm that the representatives Of Il
majority should hold those Offices, than that the repr
sentatives of minority should. IT. on the other ham
those Offices per ''spo and plunder,' then it
be thievish and base for the wings also to aspire
them. In the case, it is most impudent Of
whig cormorants TO open their mouths and cackle
they do about ''spoil and punder In the other cas-
they exhibit wonderful moral plancy, fol well do
know that they are straining every to attain
those very offices. But of course, Mr. Winthrop ar
the rest of them would not be "pundeers or spoilers
fthey in the places of Governor Boutwell, &c. f
you see, the wings know there is mighty diiferent
between 'tweedledum and tweedledee" What 81
prises in this article of the Atlas is the advc
which is rendered in il to the whgs to profit by Ii
example Of the FreesoiIers. That the Atlas should az
NIT that the wings profit by the example of me
whom it sigmatzcs ''spoers and pundcrers,' do,
not argue much in favor Of whig morality. Deep, in
estimation, must the infamy Of lis own party be, whe
it can tender such advice. But we tell the Atlas th
Freesoil enthusiasm and energy only be acquire
by one means, and that is by the honest adoption
free soil principles. The love of liberty is an inspr
tion to every honest man, which all the pumping
whig rhetoricans, and all the gold of whig stockbr
kers produce.
The Atlas calls upon the wings to organize in ord
to bring upon Massachusetts the calamity Of pro-fug
tive-save law Governor, and minority stand-stilI Il
gislature. We call upon all true to organize to d.
feat and crush this conspiracy against the honor of ii
Old Bay State, and the republican institutions which
yet to be adopted by the confederation Of the world
grieves to the Atlas conserving tobete itself
the eyes Of sedate men, by running in the same teal
with the rabid Courier, and the little Bee, but seein
that il has gone down amongst those BedOuns Of pol
tics, must express qualification its success
exertons to destroy its influence, by the pepetrs
tion Of such illogical article as that Of Monday.
