has grown upout of The necessities of the time, and
whose organization is based upon the great idea that
free Institutions are worth preserving, and that the
national government should be the CONSERVATION Of
free principles, rather than pioneer in extending
the power, and enarglng the corrupt and demoraIiz-
ing influences Of slavery? The Democratic party of
Massachusetts, five may believe It's leading organs,
has pledged ITSELF in full conventions to the measures
ofthe last Congress. The Wing party, at Spring
held, on Wednesday, will reiterate that pledge in
more emphatic language still, and endorse the infa
nous acts of Mr.. Fillmore and his Secretary of
State, for the wirepullers and bell-weathers of the
party are already determined upon their course of
action, and the rank and file must submit.
We say submit-but we know that there are ma
ny IN their ranks, who will yield their principles
to party dctation who years past have voted the
antl-savery resolves of the wing party, in good faith
believing they were sincere. Such men will not sub
NIT. Though they may be silent in convention, be-
fore the magnates OF the party, their voices will be
heard at the polls. What voter who has stood in
the wing ranks, when shoulder to shoulder they re-
sisted the aggressons of slavery, will yield himself
to support cause which he once condemned, or
hesitate In meeting the true issues which the present
campaign will present to him. We trust that there
are many who will not that the anti-saverv voice
of Massachusetts will gather new strength and vol
ume from the numbers who will flock to the standard
of the party of freedom, in the present campaign, so
that when the great national conventions are held,
and politicians come together TO weigh the chances
OF their subserviency to the South, they may hear
the emphatic NO. of the people of Massachusetts, in
tones so clear, and so decided as shall make
them pause, ere they consummate the infamous de-
signs the have planned
Such vote, and such voice from Massachusetts,
in November next, will do much to encourage the
friends of freedom in other States twill invgorate
the hearts, and strengthen the hands of the good and
true of all parties throughout the land 1t will check
the nsolent arrogance of the South. and remind our
public servants in the national councils that thew
must give heed to the popular voice, from home; =
that Ii they expect the support of the people, they
must be true to their interests, and cut themselves
aloot from unholy coalitions and conspiraces with
the slave power for the overthrow of our republican
Institutions
Massachusetts owes it to herself-to her own high
position and influence in national affairs to take the
lead in this great struggle We are confident that
she will not disappoint the hopes and expectations of
those, who in other States, looking to her for an
exemplfcaton of her fidelity to the principles Of the
olden time. But there is work to be DONE She must
surpass all the hopes, and all the expectations that
have been formed for her; and in order to do this in
order to contend successfully with the vast array of
power, influence, and money, which will be brought
to bear against her freedom-oving sons, they must
organise That is The first order for the campaign,
ORGANIzE-ORGA CAME and without delay
Let us bury all prejudices of the past, and agreeing
to unite efforts for the rescue of our institutions
from the control of the slave power work diligently
to the end.
