wHIGGERY AND ABoLITIONIsM IN MASSA CHU
SETTS.

SETS.
The wing State central committee of Massachusetts have
issued address which for fanatica violence will hold
doubtful competition with the Trades of Theodore Parker
Wendell Phillips The road from Massachusetts whig-
gerry Massachusetts, aboonism very short and the
committee have travelled it bya single stride. After in
dugng the choicest strain of anatca abuse of the Ne
braska BILL the committee acknowledge the identity of
whiggery and aboonism in the following emphatic Lam
guage;
Upon the reckessness the perfdy, and the infamy of
this deed it needless to enlarge because these char
actecs OF the act there is difference OF opinion among
wings of Massachusetts, of any of the free States And
there be among who does regard himself and his
party absolutely released from every contract
mise, understanding moral and conventional expressed
implied upon the subject of slavery the plain and direct
provisions Of the constitution always excepted only
say that his name has been unspoken in our ears"
This is not only whiggery aboltonized but aboonzed
and STEPPED in Even the Boston Courier is
strained admit the fact that spirit of dsunion is preva-
lent in Massachusetts, and undertakes to persuade its wing
brethren pause and reflect upon the fearful tendency Of
their course. The New York Commercial Advertiser as
eaouy attached whggery the Boston Courier and
in its opposition 10 the Nebraska BILL exposes and
rebukes the logic and the morality of the Massachusetts,
wings follows:
But protest against its being put forth whig doc
ne that because the subject of slavery has been
repealed by Congress- therefore absolutely released
from all obligation to obey those laws the subject
which have been repeaedor such take to be the
obvious meaning of this passage of the address The Mis-
souri, Compromise has been repealed therefore abb
soutey released from obedience the fngitveslave law
If such not the meaning Of the passage have quoted
then the whg State central committee of Massachusetts,
pardon our obtuseness of comprehension.
But iii is the meaning, then respectfully submit that
those gensmen have uttered in the of the whg party
of the free Staes sentiments that the wings of this State
win not cannot endorse sentiments which this journal
ieasand have been wings for half century
ssent wings TO this hourutery repudates and abhors
The repeal of the Missouri Compromise fragrant
to the free States undenaby but that does justify the
wing party in doing wrong likewise and to act though
absolutely released from all obligation to fulfil compacts
and obey laws would be great wrong Moreover the Mis-
souri, Compromise repealed in constitutional
the fugitive slave law has been repeaed-and wings,
and citizens cannot counsel disobedience to existing
laws Had the address urged the repeal of all laws the
subject Of saveryof all compromises compacts and obga-
ons binding the free States less TO its supportthe
would have been different But II Is wing doctrine
that breach Of faith the part the adherents OF slavery
absolutely releases the opponents OF slavery from keeping
faith with respect to the obligations that remain"
