MASSACHUSETTS POLITICS.
Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune

Correspondence Of The N. Y Tribune
BosToN, Friday Aug. II, 1854.
A brief sOiOurn in Boston and its vicinity has given
me idea OF Massachusetts, politics AS in all the
Northern States, the OF the Wings here are de-
cdedy Aht-Slavery in sentiment. But, unlike the
Wings of the Empire State they aew the Silver
GIays or Old FOges to rule the party. This is owing
partly to the detection in lo43 of such Wings as VIII
SON. Phillips Pafrey, and Adams. There are other
causes however, difficult Of removal than this.
One OF them is the continual emigration to the West OF
large proportion of the enterprsing young men OF
the state The effect of this is, to drain the Common
wealth OF its progressive forces and 10 leave behind the
conservatives and aristOcrats. With division OF the
few gO-a-head men who remain into Free Soers and
liberal Wings, the bunker Wings obtain full control
Of the party and secure an easy victory. Another
obstacle to success is the subseryency OF the Lowell
Springfield New Bedford, and the county newspapers
eenerslly TO Boston influence. Many of these papers
see the right but pursue it timidy and alteringy If
they would but resolve upon it they could easily re-
generate the Wing party or the party OF Freedom by
whatever name it may be called. You know my
opinion is that it is through the Wing party only that
Freedom can be renstated in the General Govern
ment. But if the majOrty Of the northern people
think best to have to the party opposed to
Slavery and sham Democracy, let no good Wing offer
any factiOus opposition. II the Wings of Massachu-
seits had followed the course pursued by the Wings
Of New-YOrk, there never would have been any need
Of Free Soil party, much less OF coalition This
is admitted very generally among the Free Soilers
here, and disposition prevails to let past differences
be forgotten among those who really desire triumph
of principles. If this feeling
should prevail as extensively among the leaders of the
two divisions it does among the all will be
well The Wing Convention meets on the 10th inst to
nominate State officers and if wise cOunsels prevail
ticket will be made that will be acceptable to the general
Convention Of Anti Nebraskaites which is to meet in
September. presume that any good Wing, like Sena.
tor Rockwell, Judge Hoar, or S. ii. Valley, would
secure the vote of the whole AntNebraska party for
Governor Matters of State policy may interfere to
prevent perfect union this fall but hope not In
sill the General Government is restored TO the old path
of freedom minor ubects must give way everywhere,
and if we would stop the hunting of slaves must
forbear while to hunt Catholics. The Maine Law
and Constitutional Reform in such positions now
that they need not seriously interfere with united
and vigorous battle for northern rights. Such the
results Of several weeks observations among the peo
pie of Massachusetts,. W.

SCRANTON, Monday Aug. Z, 1854.
This place was founded some 10 years ago by three
gentlemen from whom il derives It's name. They came
here when the Lackawann, Valley, comparatively
speaking was wilderness, and erected iron works on
a limited scale at irst but with skiful management
together with NewYork capital, have been constantly
progressing The operations in the manufacture of iron
are of very extended character with excellent smelling
furnaces, blowing eneng and rolling mill. Between
two and three years the Laekawannns and Western
Railroad was completed TO Great Bend and thus this
valley, which had previously been entirely secluded
from any thoroughfare Of travel trade thrown
open BY ts connection with the Erie Road since
which time large amount of coal has been sent away,
mostly To Central and Western New-York.
But the most important feature in connection with
the growth and future prospects Of Scranton is the
building OF double track railroads. continuation Of
the northern division, already fnished-drect to your
city. The entire railroad il called the Delaware.

south east direction 10 the Delaware Water Gap,
through which passes and connects with the Jersey
Central at New Hampton. 1t is certain the whole
line will be in running order in less than one year
