SoUTHBRIDGE.-The Fremonters of Southbridge
held another great mass meeting on Thursday
evening last. John l.. Swift, Esq, of Boston,
spoke to the people from a platform erected in
front of the Town Hall for more than two hours,
in his usual effective manner. The square in front
of the hallwas densely packed with people, and
there were several hundred ladies inside Of the
hall. 1t was estimated that there were more than
fifteen hundred persons in attendance. In the
early part of the evening, delegations we're march
ing and countermarching in different parts of the
town, and the enthusiasm was fully equal to the
exciting scenes of 1910. Mr.. Swift was called
upon at his lodgings late in the evening by large
procession, headed by band of music, and was
called out and made second speech.

New YoRK TAxEs.-Bya report of Con-
troller Flagg, it appears that the taxes ofNew
York city have increased from SO, 379, 1877 in
1852, to S7075, 428 in 1856. This fact make
the New Workers open their eyes. The Com

of the popular heart, must be stilled, the as
pirations of tine masses must be smothered,
the righteous indignation of the people against
their oppressors must be stifed, the manly ut
terences of rebuke must be siIenced the nat
ural preferences of the popular will must be
thwarted, until the good win and pleasure of
a little clique of demagogues is first ascer-
tanned, who utter their insane threats to rule
or to ruin in all the highways and byways of
the Commonwealth. As far as the electoral
vote of the State is concerned, Massachu-
sets, thank God, is secure for Freedom. The
declared purpose of Gov. Johnston to retire
from the contest which could end only in his
disgrace and dishonor, has settled that ques-
ton beyond recall, but still we have faction
ola broken and divided party; divided not on
ly in the nation but in the State: with insoleut
air and defiant manner, commanding the peo-
pie to bow down before the idol of their wor-
ship, and sacrifice great and holy cause, to
the greediness of few men in office.
Already the fiat has gone forth from this
faction, that the peoples party mast be ruled by
a .frdgment of another party, that men shall
not in convention assembled declare the hon
est preferences of their hearts, and vote for
their rulers in accordance with the dictates of
their own judgments, and threats are freely
INDUCED in, that if its members act as become
men and citizens, looking to the best interests
of themselves, their State and their Country,
it will unite with border rufianlsm on the
other, to render the once potent voice of
Massachusetts powerless for Freedom in the
National councils, and fill her Legislature
with the plant tools of Border Ruffian De-
mocracy.
1t is tins for the people to speak out in this
matter. If we have people party, worthy of
the name, let it be heard in the convention of
the 10TH, uttering its calm but indignant, de-
hance of all such threats come from what
quarter they may. Let free and unre.
strained expression of its principles and its
purposes, be sounded through the common
wealth, as its only rallying cry, let its standard

present those principles, and will carry out
those purposes from men who have the con-
.fdeace of the people, and let it rebuke all
these insolent and impotent threats as they
deserve; and, in as much as the people are
more powerful than clique Of demagogues,
as the principles and platform of the peoples
party are of more value than the plans CT trad
ing politicians, as the triumph of great prin-
ciples is OF more consequence than thetriumph
OF one man, or one set of men, so much great

CAPTURE OF Mr.. MUTE AND HIS WIFE.-A
letter from Leavenworth dated tile 10Th. saws:
Mr. Mute was among the prisoners that

city, Mr.. n. v as expecting to leave with his

Just as he was stepping on the plank of the
steamer in order to follow Mrs. Hobb, he was
forcibly prevented by brutal pro-slavery
rutiian named Murphy, and did not get on the
steamer.
The strong probabilities are that unless Mr..
Mute escapes he will meet with violent end,
