1t is proposed that the PEOPLE of the United
States should, on the 22d of February next, in the
celebration of that day. take care to give uterance
to their sentiments in favor Of the preservation Of
the CONSTITUTION and the UNION of the States
We cordially approve Of the suggestion, and trust
that the anniversary of WAsHINaToN's birthday
may be the occasion for Union meeting in every
city, town, village, and county, from one extremity
of our country to the other. The day will be emf
nently appropriate for such an object. What
WASHINGTON labored to accomplish and what he
SO strongly enforced and recommended, should be
remembered upon the Anniversary which is dedi-
Gated to his name and fame. We shall then have
the people Of the United States in Convention and
their united voices will go up to Heaven, praying
for the perpetuation of the institutions which he
was mainly instrumental in organizing, and which
he hoped would be continued for ages. Every
patriot in the land will, on that day. breathe the
spirit of WAsHIseToN, and in reverencing his
memory, learn to cherish his principles.

frankness, we cannot withhold an expression OF
contempt for the miserable political traders who, by
making use of such disgraceful means to obtain the
spoils of office, have brought disgrace upon our

that The party which has taken the most prominent
part in the disgraceful affair is the party which,,

MASSACHUSETTS.

The most decided portion of the Message of
Governor boutwell, is that upon Slavery and the
Fugitive Law; and while here he expresses views
to which the great body Of the Whig and Locofoco
parties will give hearty assent, he goes plump
against the professions and expressed wishes Of the
Free-Soilers, who made him Governor! This is
stab at these gentlemen under the fifth rib, and
one, coming, as it does, in connexon with the de-
feat of their favore candidate for Senator, which
will not be likely to add to the good humor Of their
feelings, give any unanimity to the coalition.
After three days earnest but unsuccessful effort
to elect Mr.. SUMNER Senator, the coalition have
been obliged to postpone further ballotings for a
week. All parties must now, we think, come to
the conclusion that Mr.. SUMNER cannot be chosen.
