ney .Get eral Of the United States, be has risen to
be tie Representative Of the Town OF Newour!
po:t, IN the Massachusetts, Legislature. Whst
further sud higher higtts may be IN reserve ioF
him, We cannot accurately compute; but ouI OK
trs.profsssional opinion is, that he will soar TO an
attitude quite beyond the range Of human eyes and
too lofty to be scanned by the largest Astronomical
tubes, or lenses, or renectou. Wherever he goes
be sssumes the god, affects TO nod and seems to
shske the spheres Thus, from his elevated place
in Ne Massachusetts, House, on Monday last, be
made speech which, according to The Boston
Transcript, had 8 paralytic, palsical and eplePtI-
cal effect upon al the members of the Republican
profession. 1t WAS whst you may call crusEer
snd settler. "No one" says our Oolong and
Bohea contemporary had the courage or ability
TO reply to Mr. Cushings address, Now this
we must declare, shows deporable lack of brans
speech and tongl.e, on the part of the R,publlcsn
| Representatives. Some one should at least have
whisted, to prove that be was struggling to keep
bia courage up. But Caleb had them. They were
magnetized. They were galvanized. They did
not recover the use Of their lDgusl members until
the time came for taking vote upon Mr. Cushing's
Preamble and Order;" and then, we must do
them the justice to say, they smashed Caleb and
bis Preamble and hir Order, in the most satisfactory
| and decided manner. They could at least vote, if
| they could not talk.
Our renders may wish, and naturally, to know
| the gst of this Preamble and Order and what
Mr. Cushing's speech.destroying speech was about
| Lend us your ears Know that few days before
I this momentous crisis the House had, in the eyer
else Of its sovereign jurisdiction, granted the use
| Of IL chamber to the Massachusetts, Anti-Slavery
| Society, the members Of that smable body de-
| string to hold meeting within the sacred legsla
| tive walls. Mr. Gushing was much incensed at the
| time, and made a small speech against the grant
| lie made great mistake in not bringing out the
| big guns employed by him in the subsequent
| bonbardment at present under review. Now,
we are not particular friends of the Massa-
| chusetts Amt. Slavery Society. Its members
are always rebuking u.s. although We do our
best to keep in the right way, and to help
| good cause. Eathless, We do not see any reason
| for refusing them the use of the Hall. 1t is not
| consecrated 6difce. 1t is merely large, ex-
treHeIy lncOnVtnenl, anu ucClucuiy uRiy ioVh, ih
which weshould not care to hold q meeting, albeit
We had our Iieto plead for. But the N. A. S. S.
vented it, and dc guStiJus, etc., being considered
and the fact being also considered that the members
had helped to pay for it, and the presumption,
moreover, being that, however fiery or thunderous
the speeches might be, they would not lead to con-
flagraton or ruin We do not see why the petition
ers should have been refused. The Hall is used
during the session for mutifarious and foF misce
laneOus purposes. The jockeys of horse hold
| forth there upon the points of that noble steed
| The cultvators of gigantic potatoes have there
enlarged upon the dimensions of their 'mirscu
Iovs esculents. Accomplished dumb people
have there Of an evening set the occupants by day
good example. From the august rostrum has the
cause of Temperance been advocated. Weare not
sure that Spirtualism has been there advocated,
but we are certain that Phrenology has, Why then
exclude the Anti-Slavery peoplel There was a
time when they were obliged to go there under far
different circumstances-tO go there to show cause,
before a Legislative Committee, why they should
not be sent to prison like common felons-a time
when Charles Follen (dear and boRored name y was
bullied and badgered by a sucking legislator who
was weaned so sOOn that he was hindered of his
growth, and has never been legislator since-when
William Ellsry Charming, true to the prOmptings of
one OF the sentlest hearts which ever beat in a
human bosom, came forward there to take the
despised and persecuted by the hand. Why not
give these people their little triumph, despite their
eccentricites and deficient catholcity!
But Caleb (who used to cotton to these same
foh in the days when they voted for their yotes)
was aroused to a fearful degree of Indignation. He
attended the meeting aforesaid ineognitO, like
IIaroun Alraschid, and lie heard things which
chilled him all over and reused his capillary
meIts to the porcupne erection. He heard the
traitors Boosting that they dictated the course of
the Massachusetts, Legislature. He heard loud
voiced men, and perhaps soft-yoiced women, call
ing for the removal of Judge Loring. This was too
much for him. The cup Of his indignation ran
over, we will say TO the quantity Of quart. He
went home and prepared his battery of eight
"wheresses" and one therefore" The substance
OF the first was that the House had been bullied in
its own domicile-that the Legislative lion had
been bearded in bis own den, and the Legislative
| Douglas in his own hall-that this was thing
which they ought not stand and would not stand,
| under any circumstances. Therefore, ordered"
that the Committee TO whom petitions for the re-
m0yal Of Judge Loring have been referred, be dis
charged from their consideration and that the petit
| tioners have leave TO withdraw. There's Jump
lor You. Or, rather, there is the longest there
fore A" that ever served for bridge between Pre-
| amble and Order.
