THE VERY LAST WRINKLE-So it seems
that Massachusetts is positively bent on revo-
luton against this terrible General Government
of ours. Though she made the foundation Of
her present great wealth by the African slave
trade, her stomach so revolts at the continued
existence Of slavery in the United States as that
she will be content with nothing less than vic.
lent revolution.
We take from recent number Of the New
York Herald the following account of secret
military organization throughout that State
(Massachusetts) that tells the tale of the exist
ing condition of her popular mind on this sub
ject, when taken in connection with the action
OF her demented Legislature for the last two
years, much more forcibly than our pen can de-
scribe it
We do no; allude TO the Boston Vigilance

and trained to the Of arms. The true title of
this society We are not at liberty to divulge; but
as Its members have adopted for their flag one Of
the old symbols Of New England, we NAV call il
by the name in general use among its members
the Pine Tree League.
strictly speaking, this league is not Of an 20
ltlcal character; its one sole and exclusive aim is
the notification in Massac husetts of the Fugitive

sents the same principles, and meets the one
and the other with the same weapons. Such
man, at such time, is indispensable to the
security of the country from such intestine
divisions and dissensions as would surely result
IN disruption of the Union.
Is he now, and viii he be backed throughout
IN his glorious mission, by the Democratic par
ty? To doubt it would be to impeach the pa
triotism of the American people. 1t would Be
to deny the patent truth that surrounds us.
North and South, East and West, there are
hundreds of thousands who look upon the
Union almost as a sacred thing. The con-
servative sense of this nation is the great moral
power which Mr.. Buchanan represents, which
elected him to the Presidency, and which siIl
sustain him in the noble cause in which be ia
embarked.
The Administration will doubtless be attack
ed again and again, by its enemies in the North
and In the South. Abolitionism will wage war
upon 1t without intermission, to the end and
that Southern ultraism which has already as.
sailed 1t will omit no opportunity to use tia eff.
forts to embsrrass it. Bot the patriotic people
OF both sections, who only ask that the Con
stltution shall be observed, and the Union saw
ed, will stand by and defend it, with sn earnest
ness and zeal that no fanatic or factionist can

before Congress, ,hsn any expressi q of oppo-
Gtion'to the measure, especially any moral de-
nunciation of it, would come under the descrip-
ton of sectional agitation, a. understood by
Mr.. Buchanan, agsinst which be asks the infu-
ence of Professor Silliman and all other good
men.
Mr.. Buchanan does rot point out his method
of sllsying agitation, but he hes lately given q
striking personal exemplifcation of it. The
fre-eaters got up tremendous national sgita-
ton in the South against himself and his Gov
ernor of Kansas, On the supposition that they
intended to allow 20 the people of that Terrific
~ the right of su 5rage. Tbs attack, we can
not donbt-for ". believe ia the Presidents
human nsture-asoused An agitation in some
section of Mr.. Bu,hana himself But he ap-
piled his principles faithfully to his own case !;
he bent gracefully to the storm he modified
bis Kansas policy 10 suit the demands of the
hre-eaters-that Ia, be allsyed his own sectional
agitation, and the national agitation a. the
South went down at the same time; and now
al ID harmony and peace between the only two
parties having really any CONTROLLING influence
In the administration of the Government. With
the light of so illnstrious an example, Professor
Silliman cannot remain in doubt as to what the
President requires him to do. he is never TO
speak against Slavery, of course never TO call
1t BY what he believes to be its true name. he
Is never to object 20 its extension over the Ter
ritories, or to any demands made in its behalf
by the SHAREHOLDERS and Especially is he never
TO express, by his vote al the bsllot-box, any
preference for the institutions Of Freedom over
those of Slavery.
Bat, in sober ea|nest, is it. not pitiful, and
worse, that President who owes his election
wholly to a sectional agitstion in behalf of Ne
gro Slsvery-the whole creed and policy of
whose party is based on the single idea Of ma
king the traffic in pegroes permanent and prof
itabie-a party which has kept the country in
a constant fever of agitation for the past four
years by It's aggressive sectional policy-should
now whine and beseech, ssid utter his senseless
and shallow objurgatiors If sectonalism? All
the cant within the scope Of the most accom-
plished of politicians cannot b ind the people to
the fact that what Mr.. Buchanan decries as
sectionalism is identical with the doctrines of
the Declaration of Independence and the senti-
ments of the trainers of the Constitution-doc-
trines national and patriotic, then and now
and the only sectional agitation that threatens
the peace, the uniJn or prosperity of the coun-
try, is the agitatica for the extension of Sls-
very, and for the sabjection to it Of every real
and permanent interest of the whole country.
Mr.. Buchanan is in a position to check this ar
rogant and intolerable sectiopalism, and pro-
mote the welfare Of the whole Union, or to fos-
ter and stimulate il to the commission of still
more active aggressions Which of these he ia
now doing, is, alas too evident.

TIE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. c. SEPTEMBER a. 1857

The Presidents whole defence rests simply
upon the averment, which is untru4. that when
he entered Office, the people of Kansas were
compelled to obey these Hefarious enactments of
Border Rufisns, that they were compelled to
obey the officers who we're appointed to rule
over them. Therefore it became his duty to
continue the outrage.
He now uses the army of the United States
as the despots of Europe use the Swiss guards: :
not to make them obey laws Of their own en-
actment, but TO obey those dictated to them by
petty despots and usurpers from Missouri: 10
compel them TO respect as officers men ap-
pointed by shareholders of Missouri to rule over
them. If they refuse, they are to be shot and
bayoneted. Now, We candidly hope the Free
State men of Kansas viii hurl defiance at such
despotism. Indeed, they cannot submit to it
with honor.
At the same time, we trust that our editors
and statesmen will see that truth he laid before
the people that this answer of Mr.. Buchanan
to charges Of such unblushing tyranny be strip
ped of its sophistry, and be made to stand be-
fore the country unveiled, and reeking with
the crimes which he has already committed,
and which he threatens to commit, against our
Government and against mankind. Let the
record of Transporting events be made up truth
fully. Let Mr.. Buchanan and his party appear
on the page Of history, and pass down TO pos
terity, In their true character. And let Repub-
hcans see to it that they fster not, nor hesitate
to assume and maintain positions that will not
cause blush upon the cheeks of our descend
ants. @.

TIE NORTHERN CONSERVATIVE AND THE
SOUTHERN BLACK REPUBLICAN.

John B. Weller, from Ohio, Is the Conservs-
tive. aud Edward Stanly, from North Carolina,
the Black Republican candidate for Governor
Of California The former distinguished him
self in his native State as q champion Of the
Constitution against the designs of the Aboli'
tionists the latter made himself notorious by
his professions Of zeal for Southern rights, and
by his abuse of the Conservative Democracy of
the North. The one showed bis faith by his
acts, the other BY his words. 1t is no MISTER
Ct surprise tia. in the land Of their adoption
they occapy the same relation to each other
and to the Conservative party of the Union.
Weller Ia 10 California what he was IN Ohio, the
incorporating foe TO Black RepublicaDism,
and has been rejected TO lead the Conservative
forces 10 put It down. Stanly is in California
what be was in North Carolina, the bitter op
ponent and persecu.or of the ConserVsive
Democracy, and has been chosen as the leader
Of the B sck Republican forces, !" TO stop Its
encroachments on the rights of the North" as
one Of their resolutions expresses it. In one
particular, However, Stauly is not now what he
was il North Carolina. Then he professed to
be better Southern Rights man than any
Democrat, North or South. Nols be is an I'm.

criie described by the author Of The Course of

Some Of the Black Republicans anticipate
imp 5rtsut results from Mr.. S:anly's effective
power on the stump. They seem to think that
Weller will be consumed by the /" burning lava

match for Stanly on the stump, even if the lat.
ter bad an equally good cause TO advocate and

the present issues involved, the mere sugges
tion is ridiculous in the extreme. So far from
gaining popular honors and overwhelming his
