MASSACHUSETTS,.
We now turn again New England, and look particu
larry to Massachusetts, We find that the democrats of
that State despite the action Of the legislature fully
the following resolve:
intended 10 embrace the whole question OF slavery aga
lion in Congress, and therefore for faithful
settled by the last Congress.
On the 10Th of September the wings OF Massachusetts
held State convention at which they nominated Hon
r. c. Winthrop their candidate for governor Of that
State and passeda resolution commencing and thoroughly
sustaining his in Congress By this act the wings
OF Massachusetts, sustained all those votes given
sstenty in the House of Representatives, in accordance
with the views OF Joshua r. Giddngs, of Ohio, and in
Congress for the reception OF abolition petonsfor the
petition presented by Mr. Adams TO dissolve the Union
for the abolition Of slavery in the District of Columbia
for the abolition of the slave trade between the States
for the Wimot povisoand sustained him for his votes
in the Senate TO DEFEAT THE COMPROMISE
The action OF these States. herein set FORTH proves
two things concusvely-
ls That the democratic party approves and sustans
the Compromise, the Union, and the Constitution and,
3D. That the wing party opposes, in every single in
stance cited the measures Of compromise, and especially
that feature of them which is vital to the Southhe fugi
tive slave law and thus indirectly attempts to nuy the
guarantees of the constitution and the compact OF confed
Grafton.

The whig party OF the South will meet the Sew

We indebted TO the defeat Of the policy Of these men for the
existence Of the government this day. We shall trust them
no more.
/ We have now filled all the space at our command
Had we more time and more space, we could multiply the
evidences in favor OF assertion. But the history OF
ten wears cannot be written day STILL trust that
we have done enough to-day for single sheet. Cir.
cunsances have forced omit many of the States
We have therefore omitted States in the North ant
Northwest where the democracy is sound TO the core
But why should we defend the democracy of Illinois
Why defend the democracy of Indiana Why deient
the democracy OF Mane' Why defend the democracy
of Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut. Iowa, Wis
consni Those States need no defence. for the enemy
has never assaled them They have not been made bat

where there can be no attack If time and space served
