Com.
Honor to the ancient commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts the earliest, and latest the most
constant and devoted champion of freedom in
the widely expanding circle of the Union In
early times, when the courtly royalists of Vir-
ginia were rejoicing in the bounty of their SOW
eregn, and amply satisfied with the crumbs that
fell from the table of royalty, she had already
begun "to beard the lion in his don," and to
SOW the seeds of freedom and indcp endence,
(and it may be, water them with her toars,) de-
spite the froWn of power and authority and in
later times, when Patrick Henry would stir up
the boosted chvalry to revolutionary action, he
could tell them that their brethren were already
in the field, and Joined to tie noble example of
Massachusetts already in arms. Jealous and
active above all others, in those troubled times
for the common good, she yet passed by her own
eminent citizens, and helped to confer the chief
command on southern general for the sake of
union and harmony. Increasing years have not
quenched her zeal, nor dmmed her eye to the
beauty of freedom ; and if ever the Fugitive
Law, that darkest disgrace of the Union, is wi
ped off, hers will be the chief glory, for hers,
far above all others, has been the noblcst resist
ance.
Honor to the old commonwealth for her ma
ny services to the cause of humanity and free
dom and last, but not least, the election of
Charles Sumner. Political intrigue and COM
mercial avarice combined their myrmidons to en-
slave her but in long, fierce battle she has
triumphod, and honored herself anew by elect
ing as her senator "the modest Roman of them
all" N.
