Free SOtIeas and DE mOcrats Read this.
We copy the following statement of facts,
showing to what depth Of depravity the Wing
party of Massachusetts has reached, from the
Boston Commonwealth, oflast evening. To this
complexion has ii come at last.---1'he souless
corporations of Massachusetts, through their
agents, who are leaders in the Wing party, now
dare todictae TO her free born holc they shall
vote, and threaten to deprive them of their bread
unless they yield up their consciences to their
keeping. The mask is now thrown entirely off,
and the Wings of Massachusetts compel us to
meet this issue at the polls, viz; whether the Peo-
pie shall rule in the State, or, whether the corpo-
Iatons, lnstered by their care. shall insult and
trample upon them, even the despos of Aus
tra and Rus sa, trample npon their slaves and
subjects 1t will be well for the Wings of Mas
sachusetts to have care for the future, to bear
in mind that they have to deal with the descen-
dents Of the stern old pilgrims of the May-fower,
and the sons and grandsons of those VINO dehed
the legons ola mghtier power, for less cause
than this, in the days that past; and swept
them as the dust from the lhreshing floor. If a
new "Reign of Terror is to be set up here in
Massachusetts by the masnates. Of the Wing par
ty, we can assure them that it will be a short
one Let them take heed in time.
SHAMEFUL PRosCRIPTIoN IN LOWELL
On Thursday evening Committee of the Free
Sellers and Democrats of Lowell called on Hon.
Linus Child, Agent of the Boot Cotton Mills Of

of That Corporation into voting the Wing ticket,
by threatening TO turn them away fthey did not
To Messrs. a. r. Brown and J. G. Peabody ),
gentlemen of the Committee Mr.. Childs said
" If any man in the employment ofthis Corpora
ton votes the Coalition ticket, he shall be in
stantly turned away. "
To this MIR. Brown replied "blr. Child, you
know that am elected 10 the House Of Repre-
senaiives | warn You that if this corporation,
or ay Cooperation in Lowell turns away work
man for voting as his conscience dictates, my first
act in the House shall be to introduce bill to de-

So help me God, will, - said Mr.. Brown
Free Sellers and Democrats Of Massachusetts,
here Is the issue distinctly made up. Are you to
vote ac ordng TO your own opinions and your
own pleasure, or you 10 vote at the dictation
of moneyed corporations. Shall these mills,
chartered 10 spin cotton, be permitted to control
our elections We do not think So We call
upon our friends in Lowell to stand firm, and to
vote as they please. We are not authorized to
speak for the Democrats But in the name of the
Free Sod party Of Massachusetts, we arm these
Lowell corporations TO beware We warn them
that if they dare to coerce their humblest work
man into voting contrary to his conscience, they
will aise storm which will not subside until
their charters are taken away from them.
If they prepared for this, let them go on.
The Free Sellers will not shrink from contest
with them on such grounds. Nor do we believe
that the Democrats Svill yield passive submis.
sion to this monstrous usmpation. If the corpo-
ratlons desire to make war on the Coalition,
they had better calculate the cost before they
