Tie Boston Courier is anxious that sound
man should be chosen TO the Senate from Mas

Wing Party. Ii says:
"Tbe Wings Of Massachusetts, have a character TO

the Wings must select candidate for Senator who Is
sound TO the core upon national questions, or the party
will drop TO pieces ike an unhooped bucket in the

We recollect when the great leader OF the

out sound to the core on national questions
Then the party preserved its character by re-
bellion, and the consequence was the election
of Democratic Governor and Free Soil
Senator. 1t seems however that the stupid
