The AMosKEAG VETERANs.-Thisc COMPANY

The AMosKEAG VErERANs.-This company
of citizen soldiery, who, it will be remember
ed, recently returned home from their tour to
the tomb of Washington, met to celebrate the
day of his birth and testify their admiration
for his virtues, on the I'D instant. At 2o'c clock
on that day, the Veterans assembled at their
Armory and marched to the Manchester House
when they received the invited guests and
others, and thence proceeded to the Lowell
Street Church. The Veterans, it is said, ap-
peared in full dress, but without arms, and
presented their usual magnificent appearance.
On arriving at the church, appropriate religi-
GUS and patriotic services were had after
which they adjourned to the Manchester
House, where they partoek Of q sumptuOus er.
tertainment. Several military gentlemen from
this city were invited, and letter was read
from Capt. Schwartzman, of the ''German
Yagers," which elected much applause.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

Gen. James on the recruitment question, and
an article from the Boston Post, showing
that the Kansas agitation now rampant in
massachusetts, the same constitutional here
~ which Mr. Webster exploded in 1880. In
an article on the American Platform, it quotes
letter written by Mr.. Fillmore in 1888 to
the Erie abolitionists, and concludes by say.
ing:
"The germs of black republicanism are
easily discernible in this letter; and unless
Mr.. Fillmore has recanted the opinions ex-
pressed, or unless he is entitled to the benefit
of the statute of limitations upon them, he
falls far below the standard of nationality
which the know nothings erected at Philadei-
phia in June, 1855. These are not the times
to trust men in the executive chair who are
at all equivocal en- the issues involved in the
next presidential confess"
The Union also shows up the pretended
Republican Association" Of this CITY, and
shows that they have an eye to the " main
