WAsHrSGroS. Oct. 20. 1858.

Dear Sir: Iperceiye in several coun-
ties of Massachusetts. Coalition Senate
rial Tickets have been formed, Of associ-
atcd Democrats and Free Sellers. Ny
judgment is, that the Democrats who
have participated in this, have done
worse than to commit a fatal error;
they have abandoned principle which
is fundamental. To support or vote for
the Free SOilerS of Massachusetts, is TO
give counienance and power 10 persons
engaged avowedly in the persistent agita-
tisn of the slavery question, and there
fore hostile, in the EXTREMIST degree, 10
the determined policy Of the Admins
tfation. The President enter.ains :m
movable convictions on this point, as
have had occasion to express TO you
heretofore; and all Of us whom he has
called to the public service here, most
heartily and zealously sustain his views
on the subject, as being the only ones
consistent with personal honor, the sue
cess of the Democratic party, the general
welfare of the country, the integrity of
the Constitution, or the permanency Of
tDiS CHlOn. IL lIItIc Uc any purpose
more fixed than another in the mind OF
the President, and those with whom he
is accustomed to consult, it is. that the
dangerous element of Abolitionsm, un-
der whatever guise or form it may pre-
sent itself. shall be crushed out, so far a.
this Administration is concerned. This
the President declared in his Inaugural.
This he has declared ever since. at
all times, and in all places, when he had
occasion to speak on the subject. While
he does not assume to judge of the hearts
of men who publicly avow sound prin-
clples, 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 unequivocally man
lIested. Those who have apprehended
hating or hesitation OH the part OF the
President, in treading any path which
truth and patriotism open to him, will
find themselves greatly mistaken. He is
up to this occasion. His policy was not
hastily settled. While he occupies his
present position it will never be depart
ed from. The Constitutional rights of
all the States Of the Union are as dear to
him as the rights Of New Hampshire.

Ifsuch came. and otkers-ofa pleasant

as The little old crate never knew before.
Then she passed. gently passed before
