citizen Of the state, probably, concurs in the
wish, that they be either repealed or amend
ed.
Coming, as you do, fresh from the people,
vour deliberate conclusions will doubtless
be a fair criterion OF their wishes. Whatev-
er measures you may perfect to prevent in
temperance and check paupersm and crime,
and which are deemed constitutional by my
self and the officer whom the laws Of the
commonwealth have provided as my legal
adviser shall receive my unhesItatlng sane
ton.
In defiance Of the principles asserted by
the dominant national party in their last pre-
sideniial convention, in disregard too Of the
pledges Of the President IN his inaugural
address. sectional issues have been reopen
ed by the waplon violation Of plighted ma
tonal faith on the part Of Congress and the
executive, in the repeal Of the Missouri
compromise, which fixed a northern limit to
the extension of slavery. The first result of
this pernicious action was to shock the
moral sentiment Of the community, and to
excite fears that all consti ulional and legal
barriers against the diffusion of this &C
knowledged evil would, from time to time,
be swept away. II has moved mems minds
at the north TO an extent no other political
occurrence has done within the memory of
the present generation Its ultimate effect
will, and should be, to determine us. by the
consideration Of every sacred and holy duty,
to manfully demand the restoration of this
broken compact, and to jealousy guard
each and every right that belongs TO Massa-
chusc,ts.
While we acknowledge our fcalty to the
constitution and the laws, the oit-repeatcd
cry of disunion heralds no real danger to our
ears. While we honestly concede the com
mon duties evoked by the articles of conied-
Grafton VIC viii preserve inyioate the state
rights retained for each sovereign member of
tina, eoniederacy. With fraternal feelings
to sll her sister states, and filiai devotion to
their common parent, yet with acknow ledg-
ed rights and determination that they be
maintained, there stands Massachusetts.
OF those rights, the two cardinal ones are,
the habeas corpus and trial by Jury 1t Is
submitted to your deliberations, whether adj
ditional legislation is required to secure ell
Their Of these to our fellow citizens. Scru-
pulousy avoid such action as asserts or looks
to the maintenance Of any rights not clearly
and consttuiionaly ours, but weave every
safeguard you Justly may around those pr
nal birthrights, older than our national birth
day, and dear as its continued existence.

Bank Wound Up.

The old Essex Bank is finally wound up,
as will be seen by the follow ing notice. 4,
will also be seen that those bilholders who
have proved their claims, have realized near
ly their par value with interest. We have
published the several notices of the dlvi-
dends gratis-no provision being made to
pay for such information.
Essex BASK.-The final dividend of four
aud half per cent, on the claims allowed
by the Chancellor, against the Safety Fund,
in the matter of the Essex Bank, Guldhall,
VT, is payable at the Bank of Nowbury, at
Wells River, VT, on presentation of the
proper vouchers. This, with two former
dividends, makes up the total sam Of over
97i per cent. on the principal and interest
of claims allowed against said Bank, all of
which has been contributed by the Safety
Fund Banks
