The true Democrat., 1855-06-12

The bill passed both branches by heavy ma- iorities, and went in course to the governor. It IS utterly impossible for any, not stutitied by fanaticism to deny that it contains provisions of i law exactly similar to those which the supreme court of the United States has pronounced null and void; which are directly repugnant to the | constitution of the United States and laws made Tn pursuance of It; and which, if carried out, inevitably involve conflict with the State and federal authorities. 1nsuch plain case the go- vernon could not do otherwise than exercise the veto power To sign such bill would be to sign himself volator of his oath, and prove himself false to the constitution
 1 The veto of the governor states that he is unwilling to lead Massachusetts into position hostile to the harmony of the confederacy, and hostile to the permanent interests of the Con- monwealth Well does he say, that the stigma of an unconstitutional enactment can never be effaced We'll might he invoke the socmnities 1 of the oaths which the members had taken, in behalf of the rights, and the honor, and the in- tegrity of Massachusetts,.
 The appeal fell without effect on the fanati- cal body to which it was addressed. What cared the aboitionists that composed it" for oul common parent, the United States?" What cared they for the decisions of the supreme court? What cared they for the facts stated by the Governor, that both the attorney-gene- ral and all the supreme justices of this State united to pronounce their bill, in clear and un- mistakable language, at war with the constltu. tion of their country? They meant to De dis loyal to the laws and the constitution. They desired to array the state government against the general government: and the greater the array of opinion which the Governor could rake up in support of the view that the personal li- berty bill would do this, the stronger was the argument with them for holding on to it! They made haste, in both branches, to pass the bil! over the head of the veto.
 What else could be expected? Is not know nottingham here completely under the control o abolitonists? Did not freesoilers, at the start get control of the secret lodges? Did they no nfuse their element into every test action SC completely, as to abolitionize the order? CoulC there be more convincing proof of this than tht election of Henry Wilson for senator? Will he not push the treesoil programme, ever though 1t should dissolve this Union? By thi> time, after his recent abolition speeches, what have his southern national apoloyist done but to shut their mouths; for he abateS not jot o1 his aboltionism. In a word, every movement of the know nothing, here has pointed, step by step, to this result of nullitcation law.
 The passage of this bill lesalizing treason and rebellion, iS the crowning proof of the abo- litionism of the know nothing order. It is tho roughly steeped in this element. It will hcsi tate at nothing to accomplish its plans, Be- sides its religious prosecutions, besides it's pro- scription for birth, here at length know nothing ism has reached the zenith point of resistance to the laws of the land. It has wantonly trampled under foot the constitution of th, country.
