The chief subject of conversation here in the political
world is the address issued Wednesday last by the
Democratic State Central Committee, and which Is
looked upon, by every capable Of reasoning, as
the first nail in the CONN Of the coalition. It was
written by General Cushing and is q most decided
attack every position assumed BY all classes the
opponents Of the Fugitive Slave law and pledges
such document do So the democracy Of Massa-
chusetts the maintenance Of that law essential
portion the compromise Of 1850 That NO effort will be
made to sustain the coalition, do not say; but how It
be sustained in the face Of such document, when
the free golfers have found fault with democrats for
voting against abolition resolves in the Legislature
more than can now be ascertaned 1t is looked upon,
as happen to know by some Of the most Intelligent
free sellers in the State throwing down Of the hum
ker gage Of battle to their party and they not the
kind Of men to shrink from taking it up. Among the
sgners of the address the several gentlemen
who have received appointments at the hands Of Cover
nor Boutwell, Two Of his aids are among tho number,
and 30 tho Sheriff OF Essex county and the Inspector
Of FISH, Mr.. Robinson Sheriff Of Essex. must have felt
as cheerful as toad under harrow when he signed it,
ture in bringing about the election Mr. Sumner who
goes to Congress with any but friendly intentions
wards the Fugitive Slave law. There Is some
thing positively ludicrous in such conduct-putting
your name to most imposing document, declar-
Ing "war to the knife" against all men who do
not consider q law constitutional and necessary,
after having aided in electing a man to the United
States Senate whose great end the repeal that law
Can the history Of caricature and farce produce any
thing equal to such . proceeding? You may depend
upon it that only win the address tell but the in.
eide nts connected with 1t will also tell That will most
some Of the most prominent Of the cositioniss The
adoption Of the address and the favor with which has,
thus far been received b the de%oo.. have had the
what the sellers cali the hunksrs but Who in reality
constitute the majority Of the Massachusetts, democracy
No man occupies higher place In political world
than General Cushing, and he deserves it.
Naturalists say that when you a multitudnous
crop of that beautiful member Of the vegetable family
known among the gross minded toad stools you may
be sure that the ground the stump OF great
tree that once was The stump Of the Massachusetts,
ns; Already havs not less than five whs candidates
for the executive chair Of
to the world First among these L. Mr.. Calhoun, Of
branch of our Legislature, member Of Congress- and
Secretary ofStste cay he has the FIRST place because
he is emnenty endowed with that modern substute for
genius and talent availability He would make Q
great man. The next is Mr.. Valley member Of the
House from Roxbury and who has been Speaker Of that
body lie 10 shrewd business man, Of fair talent and
had the hsnor Of being ckedn by Horace Mann at the
last regular Congressional election In availability
he stands next to Mr.. Calhoun but far behind him,
nevertheless Then Mr.. Clifford Attorney General
who got DIR. Webster hanged, and who Ia therefore
thought to have peculiar claims and peculiar quail
fcaions for an executive ONCE He has talent but is
aristocrat, and behind Mr. Valley in popularity
Then Mr.. Il. @. winthrop also . gentleman Of
srstocratic ideas and who would like TO be Governor
He Is cold naughty, tupercilious, egotistical and
rather mean about some things. His chief recon-
mendation Is that he Is the great great grand
winthrop, who was Governor more than two hundred
years ago, and who the conservative candidate de-
eaed Sir Harry vane at period Of great colonial
cold blooded ruthless minded and hard headed fell
lows the Puritans had neither Indians to kill nor

fashion Now, Governor Boutwell, like Sir Harry vane
Ia young man, and IL may be good thing TO bring the
superstitous and ominous .dodeers to work against
him. There are plenty Of men In the whig party who
would be influenced by such things judging by their
conduct in ordinary Lastly and castly and to
taper OF with nothing possible In Frauklin
Dexter who has as much talent and schol srship a.
either Of the gentlemen previously named but whose
political influence about equal to that Of city hay
scales, OF Of the old South clock II would be lucky for
Governor Boutwell, he encounter no more for
midable opponent than Mr. Dexter, who once wrote a
series OF the .7 to prove that Mr. Webster
did not understand the constitution Of the U nited
