sent. Our opinion of the liberty-loviug IN
stincts of some Of the ermine-wearers OF Massa-
ehusetts is not very favorable, but we don't think
40 poorly Of them as this. We believe they
would be inclined to the side Of justice and hui
manity, with hardly any exception, where there
was no Slave Power to appease, nor any Union
saving stupidity to uphold.
