The Transcript Of Saturday, contains article sign
ed "Some Freesoiles, censurng severely the course
OF Mayor Bacon in presiding military suppe, where
wine furnished to the guests. We inclined TO
doubt the sincerity of the Free Soil principles of men
who make the Transcript their organ and of the
perance principles Of men, who bring charge of this
nature against Of the eminent and consistent
temperance in the community, without taking the
pains to inform themselves of the facts.
Mr.. Bacon subscribed to the SUPPER and accepted an
invitation to preside, without the slightest knowledge OF
suspicion of the character of the entertainments and it
much to his surprise and regret, as that of any
man. that he the introduction Of wine, qftr the sup
per oUer. There arc few men in our community who
have done more, either by money, labor, example, to
advance the temperance cause. 1t is pity that any
temperance man. much more any protested Freesoer,
should have far gratifed the political luminosity Of
the Transcript to bring in its columns accusation
to which the Mayors whole life gives the lie.

We have known Mr. Thomas for twelve years. Our
acquaintance commenced with that great equnoctial
storm which blew down our grandfather's barn. AT
that time he young man in the prime of life, and
we think, raised the best marro~fat peas
He was good mathematician, kind to the poor, and
troubled with fits. In all the relations of husband,
father, uncle and trustee of common lands he has fol-
owed the direct standard of duty. Mr. Thomas is at
this time 43 years Of age, slightly marked with the
small pox, estmable citizen, church member, and
a man Of known integrity for ten years. And as to
sheep sealing that he would have done it if he could
get opportunity is without foundation in point o
fact. MIR. Thomas could have stolen our lead pencil

u" The Transcript expresses the opinion that
Mayor Bacon disgraced himself by presiding at the
Military supper, given by some Of the most influential
citizens of the place, conjunction with the military
companies of this city, the Warren Artillery, during
its recent visit to Worcester. We think that the mill
tary of this city, and their guests well as those gen.
temen who Instrumental in getting up the enter
tainmen must feel highly faered by such 'hrst rate
notice. from the Transcript. We understood, at the
time, that the entertainment conducted with good
order and decorum and hardly credit the statement
in the Transcript that the citizen soldiers of Worcester
and their friends should have outraged decency much
as to have disgraced the Mayor who presided In the
midst of its Affections it may draw consolation,
from the fact, that if the Mayor encouraged wine-hib-
bng'' by his presence, it says he did, he did not
take any HIMSELF and thereby furnished all present,
striking illustration of what Mark Tapey would call
''coming out strong under the circumstances"

THE RIGHTS OF THE NoTRH.-The editor of tho

Must the STAKEHOLDER enjoy the right to kidnap our

the Constitution when he pleases. He and does
imprson colored seamen, and when send agents
to protect them, he drives them from the State. He
say what he chooses at the North but we can do
at the South only at the risk of life. He can have
the aid OF the Union to help him to his slaves
and has the same aid 10 prevent recaimng free
men, sold their auction stands pay the fees of an

tools When his interests are at stake they create

compromises, in which slavery gets the lions share.
