such condition, suppose the Worcester spy
had uttered such language as this "Unless
the south loves the institutions of education
and religion, as we have them in New England,
there cannot exist between the south and us
one element of that sentiment of fraternity and
union which we call patriotism !" How would
the comprehensive patriotism of that day have
received such declaration? Would It have
been regarded as on the side of the American
cause? Would it have met the views of a ma.
jority here in Massachusetts Would not the
remonstrance at this rank sectionalism have
been. What! demand that the Episcopalians
of the south shall love religious things as we
have them in New England2 What! demand
that the Quakers Of Pennsylvania shall love
the institutions that so wantonly scourged
them from their homes? What! demand that
the Carolinas shall embrace our republican
notions before we can accept their alliance
What demand that the prejudices Of century
shall be conquered into love in day? No,
no, Mr.. Spy, this is not only unreasonable, but
it is impossible.
"These American colonies are of different
race, and have grown up under different Cir
stances. Here, in New England, we love our
institutions of religion and of education; they
are our choice. Other colonies have their in
SIlIutlOHS Vi TcilSlou anu cuucdtion, anu the
people there love them as we love ours. The
right to still keep ours and to retain local self
government is what in Massachusetts is in
peril; and it is to preserve this right that we
now are in such danger. 1t is for this that we,
the citizens Of Massachusetts, acting according
to every form of law remaining to US in THIS
regular aoay of expressing our sovereign aoiU,
acting by the direction and control of the vast
majority expressed in our legislature, obeying
officers commissioned by this our constitu-
tional form; it is for this that we have fallen
back on the great natural right of revolution
and boldly resist King Georges authority.
Now, other colonies have the same rights that
we have, and if we in Massachusetts, fall, they
will be in the same danger. They love their
institutions and must desire to maintain them.
Now, let all unite together on the basis Of
retaining a perfect control by each over its
local laws, and, in the spirit of comprehensive
patriotism, call into being an American power,
an American nationality that shall in all future
time be our shield and protector

Nl by the act entitled San act relating 10 dogs"
approved 25th July, 1929, and the act amending
the same approved 9th April, 1888, il is provided
"that whenever il shall be made to appear 10 the
satisfaction of the Mayor that any animal of the
dog kind within this ci shall be deemed and con-
sidered mad, it shall the duty of the Mayor 10
issue his proclamation requiring that all animals
of the dog kind shall be kept confined for such
number ofdays as he shall deem expedient and
proper TO state in such proclamation, not ex-
ceeding ninety days; and il shall be the duty OF
the city consabes and lawful for any other person
to kill and bury all and every dog going at large
contrary TO the said proclamation &c.
Now, therefore, il having been made TO appear
TO my satisfaction that there are "animals of the
dog kind" mad within this city, do hereby give
notice TO all whom il may concern that I" all ami
mails the dog kind" in this city required to
be kept confined for and during the term of sixty
days from the date hereof; and the police officers

party, full Of active and enduring vitality, and

The Register unconsciously pays high COM
pliment to the democracy as q sound sconstitu-
tional organization, in its expressions of sur
prise that any Of the New York hards should
have voted against the Nebraska BILL Speak
ing of the vote Of some Of those gentlemen
against the Nebraska bill, the Register says !;
"The strange thing connected with it is, that
it should have been given by democratic re-
presentativesl"
Let the wings of the south ponder these
words. Let them bear in mind that prominent
wing paper of the north, that claims for itself
freedom from the faint Of abolitionism, draws
contrast between the wings and democrats in
regard to the great question Of congressional
noninteryention in the territories, and ex-
presses its surprise that, while all the northern
wings are, and from the first have been,
against that doctrine, that there should be any
democrats, any northern democrats, who should
join them in that opposition.
The LEICESTER evidently regards an unsound
democrat as an unintelligible, incomprehensi
BILE sort of creature, while it looks upon an UNI
sound whig as the most natural thing in the
world. 1t gives due credit to the democratic
representatives who voted against the Nebraska
bill; but it tells them plainly that they must
not rely upon wing support. 1t gives, too, the
best reason in the world. 1t says that there
are plenty of anti-Nebraska wings who will
want votes. 1t plainly tells the democratic
antiNebraska representatives that they de-
serve reward for their course, but they must
find lit in their own bosoms." Nor will they
be apt to find it anywhere else.
We would regard it as great political mis-
fortune for the northern wing party to be dis
solved. We hope that it will remain organized.
If it does, then the unsound portion Of the
northern democratic party and the southern
wing party will be forced by its impurities and
its heresies to cleanse and purify themselves.

TERRITORIAL APPOINTMENTS.


Some days ago we published an article
under the caption Of False Rumors," in re-
ference to the rumored appointments of Gov
ernor to the Territories Of Nebraska and Kan
sas. We regret to say that in the caption an
editorial, and not a typographical error was
committed, and that the important correction
should be made of substituting +" false" for
"true" This mistake into which we acct
dentally fell, was chiefly owing to the fact that
we thought what ought to be done would be
done.
Seriously, however, we look upon this whole
subject as passed We do not withdraw a
sentiment or word Of the article to which we
have referred, but it is now effected, and be-
yond our control, and we are willing to let ii
rest, and to hope sincerely that the appoint
ments may result beneGcially to all. 1t does
not admit of a doubt, that if a Southern Gov
ernor had been appointed to the Territory Of
Kansas, it would have been the means of In
ducing southern immigration there, and hence
of giving the question of slavery fair hearing
before the convention, which will frame the
constitution of this future state. We had
thought that the course which has been pur-
sued would have the effect of multiplying the
important principle of the bill, and that again
the south would be compelled to be content
with an abstraction, which acknowledged her
rights but denied their practical recognition.
If in this view of the subject, we have been
mistaken, we will rejoice; for we assure our
readers that it is in no spirit of animadversion
that we complain of what in our humble
Judgment, VIC have considered unjust. 1t is
only desire to secure to every section, and
every interest of the Union common title
to the acquisitions of our country.
Indeed we see much in these appointments
that we admire. A majority of the judicial ap.
pointments for Nebraska are from the north :
and a majority of the judicial appointments for
Kansas are from the south. The attorney for
Nebraska is from the north; the attorney for
Kansas is from the south. The justice of such
appointments we willingly and cheerfully &C.
knowledge, but we must'express our surprise
that the same principle, which the Executive
clearly recognized in these cases, did not
govern its action in the gubernatorial appoint
ments.
In what we have said, we do not mean
to reflect upon Mr.. Reeder, as the Governor
for Kansas From all that we have learned
he is sound constitutional democrat unbiased
by sectional prejudice, and possessing high
qualifications for the Office which he holds.
In conclusion, we repeat that we conceive II
to be plainly just and equitable that Southern
Governor should have been appointed to the
territory whose domestic interests and institu-
tons would be congenial with his own, and that a
Southern Governor should have been appointed
to the other territory. Our only object and
only wish is to claim for every section of the
Union, the rights and the benefits which the
Constitution promised to secure. Let us hope
for the best.
