ludcrous. If Mr.. WINTHROP had been elected
to this distinguished position, there would have
been not word Of rebuke or lamentations
Yet in what, SO far as the South or the Consti-
tuition is concerned, will Mr.. SUMNER differ, in
his services as Senator, from Mr.. WINTHROP !
Mr.. WINTHROP voted against the Fugitive slave
bill After the Compromise Gas they call it,) had
passed at the last session, with all its personal
prctensions to invioabity, Mr.. WINTHROP.
with some Abolition Senators, voted to
abolish slavery in the District of Columbia
He claims to be the real author Of the Wirnot
Proyisc, in having first moved it as an amend
merit to the Oregon Territorial bill. We can
see no reason for any inference that Mr. SUMNER
will support one single measure, or win give q
single vote ia the Senate of the United States,
with respect to the institution Of slavery, differ
ent from MI. WINTHROP. Nor have we seen a
particle Of proof, that these gentlemen, on the
Tariff, Internal Improvements. or any other mat
ter for Congressional legislation, do not agree
in their policy. 1t is not, therefore, from any
regard for the integrity of the Constitution
it is not from any real respect for the interests or
institutions of the South-that the Union has
raised its long agonized howl over the coalition
It is, because this coalition endangers the har-
mony of the Democratic party, and thus threat
ems ACKNOWLEDGMENT and defeat in the grand
game of President-making, with its party spoils
and honors, to which it is devoted. The Union
has been endeavoring to show that the Demo-
cratic party of the North is alLsufhcient for the
salvation Of the South Although it united
with the Wings at the last session of Congress,
in excluding the South from all our territory
although CAss and SEWARD, WINTHROP and
HAMLIy, stood together in perpetrating this
gigantic fraud on the South - although, al
this moment, it is not Of the slightest conse-
quence from what party in Massachusetts the
Senator shall be selected, since all agree as to
the policy to be pursued towards the South--yet
this Jealous counsellor and champion OF South
ern interests and honor, fills the air with his
cries about the coalition. His fear is, that Gcor-
gia and Mississippi, and Alabama, cannot or
may not 60 to Baltimore one year hence, and
sit down with Massachusetts and Vermont and

Her face so perfect, and go shons o

brought sheet nfpaper, and pen and ink.
The minister, happening to look down in
to his pew. could hardly maintain his
