II The following picture of Mr.. Wilson,
the new K. N. Senator from Massachusetts,, ID
drawn by the pencil Of the thinner of the Ma
tional Era:
"Mr. Wilson is an opponent of Slavery, an
enemy to the Compromises Of 1850, an agitatol
Of the Slavery Question. He has been sccus.
toned to denounce Shareholders and pro
slavery men in his speeches, and to stigmatizs
the pro-slavery sentiment Of the South q,
silver law fanaticism - From the Yea,
lS48 to the year 1854, he stood in the from
rank Of those who held that the hope of the
slave, the triumph Of the cause of Human
Rights, the preservation of the Union, and
the promotion Of the best interests of the
country, lay in the org mi. alton and consist
emit action Of Party of Freedom, pledged to
sgitate the Question Of Slavery, pledged to
resist the aggressions Of Slavery, pledged,
openly, unequiyocally, without compromise,
evasion, or postponemeHt, to root Slavery out
from the Federal Jurisdiction, and place the
Federal Government on the side Of Human
Liberty, 80 as to promote, without interference
with State sovereignty, the extinction of Sla.
very within the States
Mr.. Wilson has long been understood to
occupy prominent position among those de-
signsted distinctisely as Free Sellers He
bolted the nomination of General TAYLOR, be-
cause he was non-committal on the slavery
question; he voted for VI artin Van Buren,. be.
cause be accepted the Buffalo platform: he
presided over the convention at Pittsburg tina,

sequently as thorough, uncompromising ad.
