We hope he will not forget to deliver the mes
sage and that he may succeed in giving to the inso
lent ard overbearing blusterers so numerous among
the politicians of that State as distinct an lmpres-

ceiyed. Yes, Mr. Senator Mason, the spirit Of
Bunker Hill still remains at Bunker Hill. Nor is
it by any means confined to that locality. II is
pretty well difiused throughout the whole North.
And as the men of Bunker Hill Of the olden time
could not be sedueed by any terrific pictures Of the
horrors Of broken Union to allow their pockets
to be picked by Parliament, neither will the Bun

to the yoke of an aristoeracy of Virginia slave
breeders and Alabama cotton planters. Spread u
