MASSACHUSETTS EENA'fOk.


in Massachusetts may succeed III eleatne Wf. Sum
the Senate OF the United States 1t il understood
that Governor Boutwell, is deeply implicated in the
conspiracy that he lends all the inflnenne Of his office
to its consummaion. He holds back portion of the
spols we learn, until certain arrangements and un-
dersandngs shall be carried out" This hint il il feared
will take effect among some OF the Boilers, and the
suit OF changing two or three votes would be to elect
MIR. Sumner. Then there the contingencies among
so many individuals, OF sickness, urgent business
Academia! absence, to cut down the Whig vote. So,
III view OF all these considerations together in
cined to fear that the league of the Democrats with
the Aboliioniss in Massachusetts will accomplish its
perfect work. We copy paragraph from the Bos-
ton AdDertser which indicates some oil the dangers
in the
"THE EGIsTATURE.-We trust that every Wing
member OF the House of Representatives will be present
to-day at the renewed baotfor United States Senator
The of yesterday, which dismissed one wing voter
and DISTINGUISHED one town on mere party grounds,
without shadow of principle for the rejection of the
member. may assist the work to be attempted to-day.
II all iends are true to their duty there is dam
ger that an advocate OF agitation will be sent to repre-
sent this State in the United States Senate. II they
do not take they can be easily outwtted Yester-
days VOTE DECIDED upon party issues the fact
that several Wings were absent. We hope that the
same hing may not occur again to day..
The precise position Of the Democrats, Free soler
Consprators and Boilers the Legislature is thus de-
fined by the Boston tDemocratic) Post:
"The result of the whole is that sixy-ive men, out
of one hundred and twelve members elected Demo-
Gratis, have undertaken to make over the whole De-
mocracy to the Free-soiers and the whole ground of
their plant and that of the Free-soers is, that
no nest unpedeed minority will not consent become
parties to such caucus combination against the rights
and honor OF the thiry-sx thousand Democratic
in this Commonwealth, who, at every step OF their po
litical progress, have protested against tn disunon
doctrines and measures fthe Abolitonists"
Wehave already referred to the history OF the coa
ton furnished by Mr. Wilson, the Free-so President of
the Senate, complaining bitterly OF the fraud that had
been practised upon the Abolitonists by the boiling
thprct inf haop
ed from the pen OF the Honorable Frederick Robinson
Democrat member OF the State Senate. This is the
more curious exposition OF the two, and makes the
| marvellous developments. Consider specimen of
them, from his communication in the Lynn Bay State.
Under the conviction of this only alternative, the
| Democratic members, after long, anxious and most
conscientious consideration of the responsibilities
| resting upon us, appointed large committee to
| meet like committee of the Free soil caucus OF
his Joint conference committee appointed chair
man. This committee had many meetings, and all
| our powers OF argument and persuasion exhaus.
ted to induce the Free soil party to concede this
point the United States Senator,l at least SO far
as to name a member ofther party who had formerly
acted with u.s. They aidshey were willing to yield ev
erytlng else, hut upon this point found them immo-
vable. They pledged themselves, ho,Deuer that Mr..
Sumner oould be 1cith us in ali the great ,aeasues
Of Democracy from Je6ersons Time doiUnoard that he
would be true to the Constitution ofthe United States
and the Union, and aoontd eire the Democratic party
trouble, unless hs unyelding opposition TO slarerl
rould be so: pledgng to us at the time further
CO. operation and support, so as to continue the Gov
eminent hereafter in the hards OF the Democracy that
the only point of difference between US at the last
Presidential election the Wilmot provso which has
now become IAN obsolete idea pas,nucb as all the ter
ritory which could apply has been Iegisated upon
they noiD desired TO fall back into the ranks of the
Democracy, from which the most Of them originally
sprung"
We would call the especial attention of our Demo-
cratic friends to the fact, stated by Mr. Robinson tina
most Of the Free-soers or Aboionsts Of Massachu
sets originally sprang fronh ranks Of the Democracy
1t .,ll
CINE that many Massachusetts Wings would be fouue
rallyng under the banner Of Mr. Yam Buren, even on
Buffao'patform. The readiness with which these Adolf
tonss bound themselves and Mr. Sumner to all Demo
cratic doctrines in lump. and promised to continue
the government of the State in the hands of the De-
mocraeY, demonstrates more poinedly than anything
uttei basenes and decentralization of the Free-so and
Abolition party in Massachusetts.
