Gan Hail! New England!''

This is the heading Of glorifcation
article in the Times Of yesterday, lauding
that section of the Union to the skies for
her support of the Black Republican can
didate. to which we respond:
Gan Hail! New England"
But not that New England that began its
career BY burning and hanging Baptists
and Quakers, and all who differed from
its puritanical notions of religion.
Not that New England which in its ty
ranny drove Roger Williams into exile, in
its hour of danger sought and won his pro-
lection, and in its gratitude repaid him
with the vlest baseness.
Not that New England that burned or
hung innocent men and women for WITCH
craft.
Not that New England which grew rich
by importing slaves from Africa; and which
is living now in luxury upon the blood and
bones of the human beings it thus traflick-
ed in.
Not that New England that attempted to
make this government of our hereditary
aristocracy."
Not that New England that endeavored
to fasten upon this country the Alien and
Sedition Laws, and heaped upon the author
Of the Declaration Of Independence the
vilest ISLANDERS.
Not that New England that met in con-
vention at Hartford, during the war of
1912, to plot treason against the United
States, and to give aid and comfort.to the
enemies of the nation.
Not that New England which refused to
man or arm single regiment of volunteers
to go to Mexico. and that offered indigni-
ties to those who did volunteer, when
parading through the streets of Boston.
Not that New England which arms her
"paupers to 20 to Kansas to incite civil
and servile war, and murder citizens of the
United States.
Not that New England that ever since
the Revolution, has been opposed to every
war, to every acquisition Of Territory. to
all the important measures of the Govern
ment that have added to the greatness and
glory of our country.
Not that New England whose religion is
its politics, and whose politics is its reli-
gion, and whose pulpi.s are filled with
traitors TO their country and their God.
Not that New England which shrieks
for Stree speech" when an abolitionist
desires to undermine the institutions Of
their country, and which denied Faneuil
Hall to her ablest son to speak in their
defense.
Not that New England which delights
in imposing upon her citizens the double
crime Of perjury and treason, and while
they swear to support the Constitution of
the United States, passes laws compelling
then, to violate its provisions, and to set at
defiance the fundamental law of the land.
Not that New England which matches
out all the vile isms of the times and sends
them forth through the land, like so many
serpents, to poison its peace and prosperity.
Not that New England, which has made
an idol Of the Mariposa speculator, wor.
shipped the woody horse, and given the
reins to fanaticism.
The New England of the revolution we
would hail! But that New England has
been over.run by the Cloths and Vandals of
Black Republicanism, the Hales, the
Parkers, the GarE;sons, the Banks, the
Burlingames. the Wilson's, the Philips
the representatives and successors Of the
men Of the "bag and Ratchet of the
revolution-not Of those who fought its
battles, but Of those who hung in the rear
Of its armies to murder the wounded and
rob the dead.
The New England we hail is that glo-
rious New England-Democratic New
England-which "still lives in the hearts
of that minority who have resolved to
"keep step to the music Of the Union,"
who have refused to bow the knee to its
traitors in war, or foes of the Constitution
in peace, to its Abolitionists, its Atheists,
or its Disunionists.
