e regrets the recent disgraceful scenes in Bos
ton, as an evidence Of the profound and
, powerful tanatlclsm which pevades the
: people OF one OF the sovereign States OF this
; Union, yet in one point Of view it is well
T: that 1t has occurred. One fact is worth a
, thousand theories and while statesmen and
philosophers have been theorzing in regard
to the efficacy and power of the compro-
mise to settle finally and forever the whole
question of slavery, an event of moment
mas overthrown their speculations and es-
tablished the fact that there is at least one
State which sternly aud unyieldingly denies
TO the South her constitutional rights. Ii
Is well that the South should know this
fact thus early 1t is well that that "eter.
nal vigilance which is the price of liberty"
should be thus assisted, and that the freemen
OF the South should well and truly know
whom to regard as foes whom as friends.
| They will henceforward know Massachu-
setts as foul and damniDg blot in the con-
tederacy, andGwill recognize in all of those
clothed with authority who were unpre-
pared for the crisis, or failed to meet it when
it came, as unworthy of the trust confded
In them, and as having forfeited all claim to
I their confidence aud respect. They will
learn to regard all those who seek to pal
late the outrage, or to excuse or Justify the
failure, negligence or apathy of those charg-
ed with the duty of seeing the law faithfully
executed, as open enemies and false or
spiritless friends They will learn from it
that there is mighty power in that fanati-
clsm which is waging unceasing war upon
our constitutional rights which is able to
weld IN the battle 1t is fighting, both the
legislative authority and the universal sen.
timent OF one of their sovereign confederates
OF the Union, power which can paralyze
the arm of the federal Executive and drive
HIM to weak and vaciJlating policy--a
power which can raise up, even in the South
1t thus deeply and bitterly wrongs, men who
will defend the conduct Of that Executive
with palliations, excuses and even iusti6ca-
tioHs. For these considerations it is well
that this evidence of the popular sentiment
oil Massachusetts has been given.
For the fugitive slave aw--for the simple
enforcement of a clearly constitutional pro-
vision-the South gave up the Mexican ac-
QUESTIONS. This was the sop that beguied
us--the kiss that betrayed u.s. 1t was one
of the patent remedies prepared for the "fve
bleeding wounds, which were to heal them
at once and forever. Yet this little boon
Massachusetts denies us. This law she nnl.
lifes and tramples in the dust marshas fail
to execute 1t, the President retains them in
their Office, and Southern men seek to iusti-
fly his conduct, and ca | upon us to rally
around him and sustain him! And we who
cannot see in the compromise that Justice,
equality and healing virtue claimed for it by
its friends, are denounced as disorganzers
and disunlonists. We who proclaimed that
this law would never be executed in com.
munities where popular sentiment condemn
ed it, were falsely charged with tredSopsable
0paassO'aS! We who refused to join the band
who make themselves hoarse with the in.

with trusting confidence rely, are styled fire.
eaters and ianatical uItras Time has, at
last. and far sooner than we expected, de-
monstrated the truth of our opinions in at
least one essential point. The toasted fu.
gitiue stare Laoo IS a deal letter IN MaSsa-
cI,uSettS.
If, then, for the sake of that law, we bow
in abject submission to the wrongs which
the compromise inflicts, if we submit to its
utter violation and notification by the egis-
lative power and general sentiment of the
people Of sovereign State, and if we pro-
claim the President who retains in Office men
charged with its execution and wholly fail
ing in their sworn duty, patriot, states
man, a man worthy of llfe trust and admira-
ton of the South then there is but one thing
more to complete our degradation. While
we defy and dedicate to immortality the
men who have betrayed us, let us ostracise
in disgrace those of the sons of the South
who have barred their bosoms to this storm
of fanaticlsm--who, attacked both from the
North and from the South, with caiumny
and detraction, galIantly resisted the free
soil spirit at every step of its progress. and
Z to whom the South is indebted for every.
thing in the compromise favorable to her
people. Let us consign to infamy the able
and unyIelding Berrien. Let us Danish from
our halls the faithful Turney. Let Soue
with his eagle eye, his flashing genius and
his deep and enthusiastic devotion to the
South and the Constitution, be consigned
to his political grave; and let the gallant
Davis with his clarion voice-his stirring
eloquence--his indomitable spirit and battle
scared form, meet with the doom Of po-
litical traitor. Let their epitaph be, ''these
linen were sacrificed by line South 10 the
genius Of Northern fanaticism. They loved
the South and the Constitution not wisely,
but too well"
