the whole vote was l2o437-showng an increase Of

The wing party, which has been constantly stmula-
ting the anti-savery sentiments, and forming alliances
with it whenever such alliances practicable, has
made most extraordinary efforts 10 bring odium upon the
democracy because Of recent events in Massachusetts.
In order accomplish that end, it has charged that the
democratic party in Massachusetts has openly afilia-
led with lhe an,isavery organization in that S,ate and
that the democracy beyond the limits OF Massachusetts
has looked with approving countenance the
ucous connection true statement OF facts will pu, TO
rest caumny which has nothing to sustain it bat false
reasoning. based on unounded assertions and cunning
prversions.
In despite OF the efforts, up to the election OF
General Taylor, OF Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Choaie, and
Mr. Winthrop, to give practical activity and power
TO the anislavery feeling. there has always been
sound democratic organization in Massachusetts
which insisted that The compromises OF the constitution
should be observed and the rights OF the southern States
respected That organization because OF the overshad
owing power OF federalism in former times, was placed
in minority; and in recent times i, has been kept
IN minority on account OF the eager zeal with which
the gentlemen whose we have mentioned have
arrayed the anii-slavery sentiment against ii.
The effort TO crush the democracy had the effect in
Massachusetts, in other northern States OF giving an
an'i-slavsry tain, to the whg party This fac, was so
hrmly established in is4s 10 give tse to the question
as TO whether the wing or free soil organization was
best entitled TO the Buffalo platform. Mr. Webster was
the leading attorney Of the wing party that OCCASION
and he Sustained The wing claim by most mastery logic
and array of most convincing facts So is apparent
that in ls4s there difference in sentiment between
the whg and soil parties Of Observation-Disclosures only
difference being (leavng out local matters) one Of
mere organization. This state OF things continued until
Mr. Webster delivered his speech of March. ls5o-if il
does not continue 10 the present momeat.
A year ago, not the democratic party of Massachu-
sets, but certain democratic members OF the Legislature
OF that State. entered into coalition which is familiar
TO every mans memory. The party with which those
members coalesced was, according to Mr. Web.
.,.s speeches Of is4s. not well entitled to the avas
and products of anti slavery excitement, as the whp
party which those members wished 10 defeat But still
the democratic PARTY denounced that coalition and this
paper denounced II in the strongest terms which good
taste would allow Ms to use We had them and we have
now the utmost adherence Of all political bargaining
and we wished to zee the democratic party in Massa
ohuses submit defeat rather than purchase partial OF
total success by trade with any organization, although
the organization might be less dangerous than the wing
party.
We look more especially to the late canvass which
was terminated on Monday last. What do we see
So far a the gubernaoria election is concerned
by the figures hare presented above that there was
coalition between the democrats and free soers Mr.
Palirey received the full vote OF the free soil oxanza-
ton. Governor Boutwell, had been nominated by con-
venon which passed resolutions in favor OF sustaining
the Compromise The free soers denied that those reso-
laons expressed the democratic sentiment OF the State
and in this denial they received the aid and comfort Of
the vhis press Fortunately however, Gov. Boutwell,,
