A Southern Glance at Boston.
The N. O. Crescent thus pictures
the modern New England Gomarrah,
the ancient city of,Hancock and Of
Warren:
For years and years they have
quoted more from partisan platforms
than from the Bible. For years and
years they have ignored the doc
trines of Christ aHd devoted tiieir at
tention to the negro. For years
and years they have inculcated yio-
lence, dlsobedience to law, aud ali
uncharitableness. instead OF entore-
ing by walk and speech the precepts
and practices of the meek and lowly
Jesus. They have maintained that
stealing was right; violation Of the
laws OF the country proper; abuse OF
their fellow citizens Just; and have
contended for the supremacy OF a
"higher law which erected every
fanatic into a supreme judge to de-
eide upon the validity Of laws. the
the moral status of ether people, and
the righteousness of himself. Their
newspapers followed in the wake Of
this demora!izing crusade against ma
ture, the safety of society and the
rights Of community.
Their women unsexed themselves,
found fault with God for milking
them women, assembled the rostrum,
and made speeches declaring that
the ways OF the world had been
wrong since the foundation thereof
that they occupied an oppressed
and degraded position in the scale of
humanity-that they ought to have
the right to vote, hold office, make
laws and mingle in the rough and
tumble turmoil of an election, Just
rs men do, whenever their petiicoat
mlghtinesses saw proper. Aud the
masses Of the people followed the
preachers, the newspapers aud the
strong minded women, until they
are all about equally aemented and
lanatical.
Their toiling and ever working
millions having been Systematically
taught to disregard and break all
laws that protect the persons and
property of Southel ners, may turn
upon their teachers may apply
their own doctrines to themselves
and despoil them, for the time be.

David Wilmot, of the proyiso men,
cry, is now the black republican and
know nothing candidate for Goyenor
of Pennsylvania He dwells in his
letter of acceptance at great length up
on the slavery question; and then gave
out the following to his know nothing
supporters, showing that he is sound
on the goose:
"The position taken by the Convan-
ton in its resolve touching the duties
and Obligations imposed upon those
who seek adoption into our great
American family of freeman, must
meet the approval Of every patriotic
citizen. We have a right to expect
and require perfect and undivided
allegiance from all who are invested
with the high prsrogatives of citizen
ship. AS the adopted eitnn re-
ceives in full measure all the rights
and immunities of a native born, so
ought b. to render the like single and
unreserved devotion to the country of
his adoption. He should acknowl-
edge no earthly power superior to the
Constitution and the sovereignty Of the
American people, There is no dam
ger that we shall err in our Jealous
devotion to our country, and in the
cultivation of an intense American
nationality"
The know nothings of Tennessee
will see that brother Wilmot is with
them.
