The Election

The dctators at Washington have issued their or
ders TO their creatures in the several States to impede
by every means in their power, The full and free ex
preston of the peoples voice, wherever voice is
likely to be heard, pleading for "reedom aud Justice,
and The integrity of the Constitution"
They are watching the issue of the election for
Representative in this district, with intense interest
and they are quietly playing the gam of corruption,
to defeat the frionds of liberty But we trust that
Monday will teach the lords Of the lash and their
northern slaves, hat the heart Of Old Massachusetts
is incompatible. and that her integrity is nvunerabe
We hope that the triumphant election of Judge Al.
len will read them one more lesson corroborative Of
the truth that the yeonen hills and valleys and
the workmen in our shops have no political leader
save Liberty; no political law save the Constitution
IN the spirit Of its founders.

To Day.

The eyes of all Hunkerdom are upon Massachu-
sets at this time. Her voice has always been po-
tent one in the halls of the National Legislature, and
the will Of her people expressed at the balobox,
has always commanded the respect of her sister
States, To day, she is to speak for or against the
iniquitous acts Of the government which have made
her partaker in the guilt of slavery, and compelled
her free citizens to act the part Of blood hounds to our
southern masters. Every vote cast for the men who
candidates Of the parties that openly sustain the
treachery of Webster, and the subserviency of Fill
more, is vote against the whole spirit of our repub-
can Institutions, and the letter Of the constitution
1t virtually to trampe upon that instrument,
so sacred, to send such men to legisate under it..
Every vote given to them is vote for the encour-
agement of future aggessions upon the rights of the
north. Every vote given for them is an endorsement
of the mscreant acts ofhose of public servants
who have betrayed liberty, and cast her disgraced
and bleeding upon the altar of slavery. Every vote
given for them, gives keenness to the save-drivers
lash, and strength to his arm. Every vote given to
them, affords encouragement to future traitors who
may contemplate the barter of the sacred principles
of Freedom for the self aggrandizement of an hour
Every vote given for them, is to show that the sons
ofthe Pilgrim fathers are unworthy of their sres-
that the blood of the men OF rs runs sluggshly in
the veins of their descendants.
The barometer will not show more clearly and de-
cdedy the state of the atmosphere, than will this
election to-day the state of the popular heart The
butchers offreedom at Washington, arc listening with
open ears for the echoes which shall come to them to-
morrow from these free hills and valleys The pc

suit of this day doings in the old Bay State. Let
act mindful of this, and mindful too of the verdict
which posterity will render upon our deeds Let us
vote to-day, SO that our influence will be felt upon
the side of Freedom; SO that those who are defending
her against fearful odds, may feel strengthened in
their efforts, by the cordial support which is accorded

worth paying great a sum for his release.
