The American thunder gathers vol
umo at it rolls onward. Massachusetts,
is sound to the core on the American
question, and has rcpulscd every ism
that took the field against American
ism! The Boston Courier says of the
Massachusetts election:
Conc great good, too vast to be full
ly estimated, has been substantially
secured. The defeat Of the fusionists
is an end gained, to be contemplated
with unalloycd satisfaction. When it
is considered that tho Fusionists Of
Massachusetts were to form the advance
guard Of great Northern party upon
purely sectional grounds; that under
It's lead the North was to be united a.
gainst the South that without such
united action it is nothing; that any
thing short of complete success is utter
failure; and that by all possible efforts
and means, with the issue distinctly
presented, scctionalism in Massachu-
sets secures but 1888 votes against
09,522 on the contrary hand, the result
is too ridiculous to admit of comment
