DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS, s.-Thc
Old Cradle Of Liberty in Boston, the vencr-
atcd Faneuil Hall, that has oftentimcs cch-
oed to the stirring voices of patriots. has
been again enlivened by the spirit of'76. On
the evening Of the 25th Of September, a ye-
~ large meeting Of Democrats of Boston
assembled there to ratify the nominations
made by their recent State Convention.
The Hall was filled to overaowing, and
much enthusiasm was manifested. The
people OF Massachusetts are tired of Know
Nothing misrulc, and have declared in a
voica OF thunder THAT THE OLD COMMON
WEALsH SHALL BE REDEEMED +! If the deter.
mined spirit manifested in the State resoln-
tions, the high toned patriotism of their
Journals or the self devotion of their patri-
OF leaders augur anything, their pledge
will be fulfilled. As deeply stepped as that
State has been in the dingy waters of fam
atlclsm, as sweeping as was the tide of
know-nothingism which has recently passed
over her, we cannot believe that her people
have sunk to such profound depths of polit-
ical degradation as to be incapable Of re-
demption. The spirit ofthe Tcaparty is a.
reused anew in the bosoms of her demo
cratic sons. They are determined that
their statute books shall no longer bear the
blot of illibcral laws, nor their State lon.
ger remain by-word and a reproach.
Many eloquent speech was made, and the
were ratified with the utmost
harmony. In the course of the evening the
following resolutions were adopted.
Resolred, That we heartily approve ofthe
nomination of Hon. ERASMUS d. |
BEACH for Governor, Hon, MOSES
DAVENPORT for Lieutenant Governor,
md the other nominations of the liberal
Union State Convention, and will do our
best to elect them.
Resotred, That we hail with the highest
satisfaction the recent victory of the peo-
Die of Maine, by which they have put the
seal OF condemnation upon the author Of
he Maine law, upon his associates, and up
IN that inquistous enactment.
Resol ed. That we hereby pledge our
elvcs to the most active and perseverine
Efforts for the election of the liberal ticket /
n the State, for the purpose of securing the
'epealing of all illberal and unconstitu-
ional laws, and the substitution of q
wise and beneficial license law for the
present foolish, impracticable and injurious
liquor law.
Resotved That the cause in which we now
Engaged is Of more immediate and vital in
crest to the people of Massachusetts, than
my political questions Of "a national char
cter which can be effected by the coming
State election for it involves the rights of
he cities the safeguards of constitutional
'oyornment, and all Of civil liberty that dis
inguishes freemen from slaves.
Resolped That in the willy arts of those
vho have fastened the shackles of tyran-
ical legislation upon us, in diverting the
