OCEAN HousE, Newport July 2s, 1881.
Tbs Is as good place TO watch the progress OF po
zeal events as Saratoga and when Congress IS not IN
session. is quite as amusing as Washington. We have
bad mixture OF all public characters here. and had
pretty good chance TO watch them Mr. Webster is ex-
peced here night, but MIR Fillmore is given up dehn-
lively
First we were told that General Scott would honor us
with bis presence; but the hero of many battles did not
trust himself so far away from home-Goyernor Seward
being much occupied in the Empire State TO either
as his amanuensis OF his promPle and he did not wish
make dumb show of himself. The truth is General
Scott has as yet made impression whatever In New
and his presence here would not help him much
with his friends This little State (Rhode island is go
ing for the democratic nominee, whoever he may be- IL
was the wing banner State in ls4s, and is now Just as
much opposed 10 hero. worship at that time II was
given 10 that species OF doatry.
So Mr. Crenden has spe al his time here for nothing,
beng only witness to the decline and approaching fall
OF lree-so whiggery in New England. Mr. Winthrop.
who was Inc confidential friend and companion OF Mr.
Cril,enden at The Bellevue House, has had march
stolen on him By the great Daniel But days ago he
felt certain Of being the wing candidate for governor
of Massachusetts that he would have given sxpence
to insure his nominations but certain sire in the rear
has convinced him since that he is only looked upon
as an unavailable candidate but about be permanently
sheved From all appearances the wings of Massachu-
sets will have to submit TO a democratic administration
for al least more term. Maybe that by that time
they will become used to democratic rule.
| Mr. Charles Sumner the freesoil senator from Massa-
chuses, who also here, and is expected to return
soon, depecates all idea of being aboltionis and
doubt whether his ambition will permit him 10 take
commission from Gov. Seward. What am most afraid
of is. that certain class of New England lherat not
having the laws and constitution of America in their
eyes, and being nstgated by European sophlss who art
fully appeal to their vanity treat the whole subject OF
slavery OF aesthetics, looking upon the aglta
ton of the subject OF showing their European
taste to an admiring world. Dr. Charming, the fashion,
able Unitarian divine, who at G9ttingen in Germany,
picked up grain of gold with which he afterwards
ceeded in gliding whole pulpit in Boston, commenced
the war upon the South, and the mutual admiration soci
ETY. of the town has continued it ever since. Nay
further you that there are Europeans-sen-
temen OF fashion and tiHes-now employed in Boston
and else where preach abolition in polite society Some
OF these gentlemen have the preension OF being
ca refugees but the truth is, they simply the ennis
saes OF monarchsts, and the enemies of liberal in
stituons dare say you have some of the same sort
in The South where they are, doubt, equally Jealous
in unfolding and preaching secession as means OF ma
king the southern States fulfil their glorious destiny
France had al time her agents in Canada but al this
period England, France, Austria Russia and Prussia
have their spies and agents propocateus in this country
