bi, absureity and botheraton By setting up sn ali
party upon bis own hook, or By going over, bodily
ard with all his Baggage to the unfortunate enemy
| OF ,uch min, Massachusetts, ia full. They start
up there in unexpected places; after little town
and county training; they are ready for any
thing; season in the Legislature cts them
for a dozen difficult seasons in Washington;
and tley are spoiled for all purposes Of utility
They can no logger keep shop; they can no longer
make shce,; they are ide s,ye for public work.
AID they are dumb save for public talk they be.
come fussy ard fretful, and whether they get to
Consreis or do not get there, they are the torment
Of society TwotLircs of tbe, fellow citizens care
notnirg either fer their failure success; but they
manage to have everybody by the ears before the
canvas is over. TIE whole thing becomes wear
ness and a scandal; aid It's very fortunate if no
Pro. Slavery member clips in, while the most or no
Cox characters are squAbbhng for the succession.
We advise Cur enemies, tie Administration men
to make the NEST Of this folly There Distri IT'S
which they may possibly carry, unless our friends
please to act Ike wise men. One might think that
Mr.. BuIlirgame's District was worth saving, it be-
ing perfectly certain that either the incumbent or a
bsrd-sheIed Hurker must 90 back.
TIE country hes an intere,t in this matter,
because the county needs the Massachusetts votes.
Otherwise The whole ,quabble, fussy and noisome
as it IS tculding as il does in the streets and gar
rulous as i il at the corners is simply ridiculous.
In TIE closely ctnteste Districts, the result nsy
be the return Of Democrats, and 10 Others Of those
who, Il not the worst, may not be the best men.
We with the Massachusetts, Republicans would
foreeo there trang controversies. We Wish that
the over ambitious there would try to act, think
ard speak like men. Heaven knows thst . seat in
Congress is lot particularly desirable, or that
man after getting it need not write MI ultra to his
ftndest hopes. The Anti-Slavery faith of Ma,sa-
chusetts is too large, too LIBERAL too valuable t,
man ard the world, to be made the small change Of
this petty personal huskstering. We have taken
the liberty of entering this protest aud We expect
to be told that the whole thing is none of our BUSH
neu. Possibly net. But as We do not aak the
voters 10 send US, 70 serd our personal friends
but only to send men who can be relied upon in
cases Of EN- ergsncy, We hope that We may be par
doned. Without beipg citizen Of Massachusetts,
il would pain us TO see q dougbfacs again repre-
sentiDg TINT State; without being citizen e MAG
sschusetts, We can admire her right thinking aud
feeling, and earnestly pray that neither may he
