The reason Burns went back from Boston was
because the men of Boston were willing he should
go-there is no other reason; and we have nothin,
to do but to stand here day and night, and preacl
that lesson without intcrmission. The reason til,

There is M reasonable hope of the srcc7s of the
anti-slavery enterprise, until you make up your
minds that it is not somebody else but y6u who
return fugitive slaves. 1t is not Col. Sutlc ofVir-
ginia; it is not Franklin Pierce nor Caleb CUSHING
at Washington it is Massachusetts, that owns Mas
sachusctts; and if you that vote every year in No.
vembcr for laws and lawmakers, choose to make
this an anti-slavery State you can DO it, next
November, spite of all the Caleb Cushings or
Franklin Pierces that the Government can buy
up.

Abolitionists to do this summer-thc work which
will make Massachusetts what she boasts herself

Now, my friends, | will tell you what is left for

office Of Judge of Probate. loud cheers) If

the return of fugitive slave, shall be forever dis

shall direct the judges of the Commonwealth to is

Government has got the better of u.s. Slavery has
got fifty million dollars Of reEcnuc to spend every
year: .fjty millions of doHouH! We live in a.
country where, if you pat a dollar on the other
side Of hell, the Yankees will spring for IT, mt the
risk of tumblng in. daughter and checrs) We
live in a land of moncy-you know it; and do You
suppose that Government with fifty millions dol
lars to spend every year cannot buy up enough
men in year to carry any vote they wish to2 How
many men does it take in the city of Washington
to carry any vote? Not more than thirty. This
very year, on the Nebraska question: the votes of
white men, white democrats, were bought cheaper
in the city of Washington, than you could buy
black slaves. 1t is literal fact, that Democratic
votes were bought cheaper, in Washington, for the
Nebraska bil than an ablcbodiod slave thirty
years old. Now. do you believe that Government
with fifty millions of dollars to spend annually can
be checkmatcd? Never The only way to check
mate it is to checkmate it at home. Massachusetts,
is ours, if we choose to make it so. We can null
lify this Fugitive Slave Bill We can put on that
supreme bench judges who will laugh to defiance
the Congress of the United States, when they
undertake to carrya fugitive slave out of Massachu-

A Voice. How will they do t?'
Mr.. PHILLIPs-Givo me an ant-slavcry State,
and will leave it to antslavery Yankees to find
out Way. (Checrs) Do you suppose the men
who MAKE wooden nutmegs and cheat all the South
arc not sharp enough to outwt her in ANYTHING
DO you suppose the South outwits u.s. because her
people are shrewder than Yankees? No! 1t is |
because we love to be cheated on this question it
is because our politicians willing to eompro-
mise, dnd have been ever since 10 | will set a
Yankee to have his own way, and find the means
to have it, against the world. And yet you tell me
to believe in all ahti-savery New England that has
it, I believe that when New England wants
thing, and wants it with WILL, she will have it
{ Loud applausc.) The only reason why she has /
not had anti-sayery legislation is because she has
not wanted it, One man has been making brooms
on the banks of the Connecticut, and another man
cotton in Lowell and another curing
fish ON the sea-board, and another making shoes up
and down the county of Essex, and provided they
made money enough, they let the Government liaYe
its own way. And then we send Mr.. Sumner to
Washington, and we send gentlemen to deliver
Fourth OF July oratons to make it out that Massa-
chusctts is an ant-slavcTy State. She is not. But
the time has gone by when you can smuggc a slave
ont of the State. Thank God you have got to
smother down the anti-slavery sentiment of '54
with two thousand armed men in State street be-
fore you carry a slave from Court Square to T |
wharf. (Cheers.) That is growth. There is an
other evidence of growth The spear of anti-sla-
very robukc has pierced through even the hide of
George r. Curtis, and proved that there is living
spot of moral life even in his body. (Applausc5 I
