THE NEB.RASCAL BILL N MASSACHUSETTS


From Oar Own Correspondent
Boston, Tuesday, FsS. IL, 1854
Massachusetts feels mean OF this cril The world
has been listening to hear what she wo say, but has
heard orly silence What is the reasoh7 Massachu-
setts is rather NGst exhausted usedup in petidonug
protecting and resolving against the unappeasable vO
racty and unending aggressious OF the negrodrving
power No State has talked more or better, but now
when an occasion has arrived for her Oudes talk, she
il not within herself in the happest mood to talk
Just now particularly all talk this subject is dis
tasteful to US because biggest demigod got poison
ed to death in attempting to sop the Southern Cerberus
lie had protested, petitOned, resoyed-had led US in
pilnp PeliOn upon Ossa ofremonstrance till, when we
were looking for him to hurl down the accumulated
mountains with live thunderbots, upon Sayery's
neanest, felest brat-the Fugitive Slave Bill we saw
him turn somerset one March morning, and go TO
feeding the bloody .chspped dog in surprising and
marvellous manner. What could we dOl He was our
denigod We Gained down, followed him humbly-
canda GemissG-hoped to see him at the helm of the
Union which he taught us he had saved BY his
lofty tumble We doomed cart loads Of anti
Slavery resolutions to the eternal garrett of oblivion,
and really hoped by virtue of the dear compromise not
to hear ANYTHING of them while we enjoyed dgnifed
Offices and much honor under the Presidency OF the
demigod. Alas our demigOd died broken hearted :.
Not vote had he for the whole burnt sacrifice OF our
poor conquered New-Engand pre- udices !-aye-for
those prejudces which had bee4 our pride and our
glory-our granite home brth-right-all that we had
not squandered of the Inheritance from our Puritan
fathers and in fact about all of it that was worth
saving. All sold and gone for so much contempt We
felt sad detected, mean The only consolation for us
was that the eternal garrett of oblivion would keep safe
the carloads of anti Slavery resolutions and rem0n
strances committed to it in the name of the dear COM
promise Hereafter we could not fight Slavery nor
feed IT, Not feed it, for there the dead murdered
demiqod-no fight it, for yOnder were the ashes OF our
conquered preiudces, and the Observation-Disclosures
resolutions in the garrett But the dreadful wound has
been torn open There is place for peace or silence
The truth is, Massachusetts, is moved She must
speak OF die Her newspaperreading masses are thor
Oughly indgnantbOth sides OF the wrecked Coalition
and the whole Wing party, Hunker aud Progressive.

describe belongs only the old mouth pieces. They
were doggedly determined to hold their peace till
Everett had spoken. He has spOken-gently as a
sucking dove TO be sure but audibly and ntellgiby
against Le raseaity Now, there is nothing to resist
the rising storm The Free-Soers, whose vocation
and life is to agtae this very question: and whose
experience with the soft Democracy does not incline
them to mince matters, will have their State COnven-
ton day after tomorrow in Faneuil Hall They have
offered 10 give up the ground in favor OF general Con-
venton irrespective Of party but this did not suit the
Wings and Gushing has crushed the poor Democrats.
The WHY'S have decided on great meeting irrespec-

not ready to take their Oaths that, if the Compromise
of Is20 is repealed that of 1850 (at least far as
slave-huntng is concerned) shall follow it. They will
not only do this but 90 for distributing all unoccuPed
public territory to actual settlers so that Freedom
shall orestaIl Slavery not only north of the old Com
promise line, but south of IL Their indignation will
take the most practical shape. Boston will not sur
render another Sins.
The announcement last week that Theodore Parker
would preach Sermon of Nebraska" in the Music
Hail. on Sunday crowded that capaciOns edhce. The
free parson did preach what it would have done the
conspraOrs at Washington good TO hear. In his dry
WAY he reviewed the history OF Saverys aggressOns
and scorched the political parties with avery impartial
application of the actual cauterye The Wings he char
acterized as the party of mOneygOi, conservative re-

other gods any higher aw hence they both comprO

ruled the country, having nine times gained its un-

for the Presidency were making haste to bind the vie

written, was not preached, but what was preached
was sufficient to show it of Mr. Psrkers happiest
efforts. 1t viii appear in print and will make
mark as deep as that on Webster. To me its

Slavery was almost disheartening Ii the next hfty
