We concur with Dir. HALE In his explanation
OF the policy Of these printing jobs; and thus
far extremes meet But we dissent from the
support Of this policy--And there we differ
Mr.. HALE, however, is wise in his generation
He aud his party have an interest in keeping
the two great national parties alive, rs they are
both used by the Abolitionsts when territory is
TO be plundsred from the South. when anti-slave
trade laws are 10 b. passed for this District
when senators are to be elected in Massachu-
setts, Ohio, New York, and elsewhere when
Presidents are TO be elected, when offices and
spois are to be taken and distributed.
On such occasions, the Abolitionists cry for
plumber and philanthropy; tho party organs
lutte IN the scheme to secure Free-soil votes
and then drown the language Of remonstrance
from the victims with the cry Of Union, Union,
intermingled with denunciations Of the indig-
nant sufferers az agitators, factionists, ultras,
and trnitors
~ The Albany Atlas thus glories ia the
good faith of the Democracy of Massachusetts
towards their Free-soil brethren:
MASSACHUSETTS SEsAroR-There is too
much reason to fear that the coalition in Massa-
chuaetts may succeed in electing Mr. Sumner to
the Senate Of the United States. 1t is under
stood that Governor Boutwell, is 20 deeply i'm
plicated In the conspiracy that he lends all the
influence of his Office to its consummation. lie

We are glad to publish this declaration of the
Republic, coupled though it be, with an accusa-
| ton The vague imputation in regard to the
| spOils may pass for what it is worth but the
admission that Gov. boutwell, stands by the
nominee Of the Democratic caucus and will sus-
tain him with all his influence, as does nearly
every Democrat of the legislature, and every
Democratic press of the State, is important, as
rcfuting that charge of punic faith which the
| Wing press everywhere made against the Dem
ocrats of Massachusetts. Treachery has taken
its refuge among a mere fag-end Of faction
but the great mass of Democrats are not in
fected with it,and there will still remain party
of Democrats and Free-soers in Massachusetts
large enough to redeem and to keep redeemed

| New HAMrsHIRE.--The Democratic State
committee Of New Hampshire have issued call
| for State convention to be held at Concord
on the 10th inst, to rescind the nomination OF
| Hon. John Atwood for Governor, and make q
nomination more worthy of the Democracy OF
New Hampshire" The reasons for the move
ments, as avowed by the committee, in their pre-.
amble and resolutions, are that Mr.. Atwood
has chosen the open and bitter enemies of the
Democratic party for his advisers, correspondents
and confidential friends, and by his vaccillatne
course has rendered himself obnoxious to the
Democracy of the State, and unworthy of theil
support"
Observe the careful non-committal of the
language used. Persons, not principles, are made
the pretext for dropping this janus-faced gentle
man, who was with the ultras on both sides, with
dexterity almost equal to that of the New Yorl
Wing politicians.

gives the following item.
| FuGIrIvE SLAVE CAsE.-We learn by thu
telegraph last evening, that the first fugiLiv.
slave cnse at Cincinnati was tried on the It'll
inst. The person arrested was female, who
as the case was proceeding, consented to 60 bach
to her master, and thus the case ended.
The Syracuse Standard thus pithily sums up
the Wing creed in New York:

1t is strange to me that Virginia can remain &C

the general government, would have blown the

The present apathy has been created by ouI

take any decided course, lest they might be found
in the minority. Old Mr.. Ritciiie hls produced
no little harm in this thing. After they got bin
