WASHINGTON, Saturday, Oct. 90, 1853
"Dedr SIR prcceivo that in several Counties in
Massachusetts, Coalition Senatorial tickets have
been formed of associated Democrats and Free
Sliers. My judgment is that the Democrats who
mye participated in this, have done worse than to
commit fatal error. They have abonded prin-
eipal which is fundamental. TO support or vote
for the Free-Soiers Of Massachusetts, to give coun-
tenance and power to persons engaged ayOwedy in
the persistant agitation Of the Slavery question,
and therefore hostile in the highest degree to the
determined policy Of the Administration. The
President entertains immoyable convictions on this
point MS have had occasion to express 10 you here
otore, and all of whom he has called to the pub
lie service here most heartily and zcalously sustain
his views the subject MS being the only ones con-
ssteDt with personal honor the success fthe Demo
cratic party the general welfare of the country the
Integrity OF the Constitution, or the permanencyo Of
this Union. If there he any purpose more fixed
than another in the mind ol the President and those
with whom he is accustomed to consult it is that
the dangerous element of Abolitionsm, under what
ever guise or form it may present itself, shall be
crushed out 50 far us his administration Is concerned.
This the President declared in his Inaugural--ths
e has declared since, at all times and in all
places when he had occasions to speak on the sub
icct.
"While he does not assume to Judge Of the hearts
Of men who publicly ayow sound principles he only
needs overt acts tO show where they ARE, in order
that his settled policy in the conduct Of the affairs
Of the Government shall be unequivocaly manifest
I. Those who have apnrehended hnlting or hestatine
tha st of Dro in
which truth and patriotism open to hin, will find
themselvs greatly mistaken lie is up to this occa
sion. His policy not hastily settled. While
he occupies his present position it will never be de
parted from The Constitutional rights of all the
States ofthe Union dear 10 him as the rights
Of New II ,mpshirc.
II have perceived from the outset that this great
principle 0f the Constitutional rights Of the States
Is fastened in his thoughts as the corner stone OF
this Union. Depend upon it, no matter what con
se1unce may impend over him, he will never allow
II 70 be shlkea by AboIitionsts or lactionsts; bu
will set his face like flint as well against left hanC
cd backsldings rs against left-handed defection
which may prejudice embnrrass the onwar,
progress of the Republic.
Il remain very truly yours,
"Hon. r. FRoTHiSouAx, Jr, Boston,"
The same song is sung "by authority" in tn
Washington Union How like il sounds.
