The Massachusetts Amendment.
Eys- The Massachusetts Natural

@ The Massachusetts Naluraiza
ton Amendment, though ratified by a
majority of the votes cast at the recen,
election, still received tie expressed con-
sent Of only very small proportion OF
the people of Massachusetts. Out of the
100000 voters of the State, but about
5000 voted in its favor, and there is no
doubt that all who were really in favor OF
the amendment went to the polls. 1t is
therefore apparent that an overwhelming
majority Of the people of that State were
opposed to this violation Of the princi-
pies of the Republican organization, and
that they are amenable only in failing to
attend the polls and voting the PROPOSE
ton down. The voting in its favor was
done principally in the large cities, where
the Know Nothing feeling is still pre-
dominant. In the four Western counties,
where the Republican vote and feeling is
the strongest, every town went against it.
There can be no doubt that the Repub.
lican feeling of Massachusetts, like that
of all other States, is ayerse to such
measures of discrimination.

The Civilian on Higher Law.

E- CHANGING over the Crilian of last
week, our eye fell upon some expressions
in an editorial article under the head OF
:" Higher Law" which, we must con-
fess, We have too favorable an opinion OF
Mr.. HEDGES head and heart, to believe
to be his studied and honest sentiments.
He acknowledge that the term higher
law has much significance, when right
ly understood, but thinks that a proper
understanding of higher duties" would
not result in efforts for the emancipation
of the slave. He says:
Again, if it was only for higher in
terests that these men sought, we doubt
whether the first step would necessarily
be to procure the emancipation of the
slave; the bible teaches that servants
should obey their masters, be faithful in
their duties, and it matters little or no.
thing what may be their condition, wheth-
er bond or free, they can serve God as
fully in one case as the other. If these
were the doctrines sought to be incul-
Gated, such as obedience, failhfulness,
patience, honesty. virtue, and such quail
lilies. we doubt whether any STAKEHOLDER
in the country would object to having his
slaves taught in this way"
Tbs Editor of the Civilian evidently
adopts. if he here utters his real senti-
ments, Judge TANEY's doctrine-that the
negro has no rights that should be re-
spected-in all its length, breadth ard
depth. He would have the slave instructed
only to obey his master cheerfully, to ex-
ercise patience under the lasl, and tor
ture, to serye with honesty and faithful
ness him who robs him Of his labor, of
his wife. his child, and the right of men
tai and moral advancement. He would
have virtue inculcated in the mind of her
who. if well-favored. may, at any mo-
mant. be forced to crafty the lust of him
whose wishes Mr. HEDGES would have
her meekiy and faithfully obey. To in
culcate the duty of cheerful submission
to these, and kindred results, of tie vii
famous system of slavery, is, according
10 the EDITORS views, the only proper
exemplfication of just regard for the
" highest interests of the slave To
advance the cause of emancipation, we
should. according to his view, teach do
ciity to the slave. make him faithful
and therefore proftable-=-to his master,
and wiihal. say nothing of the violation
of natural rights. but lead both master
and slave to believe that their relation is
SO much the more preferable, the more
humble, docile and abject the latter be-
comes. Can Mr.. HEDGES find single
instance in history where tyranny eyer
unbound It's victims, because they bore
their manacles peacefully, cheertully, un-
complainingly? Does not this same text.

at any expense of white mems lives and
interests - " In fact" says Mr.. HEDGES,
higher law seems to mean that the ne
gro is higher than all law, and that in
conflict with him the white man has no
rights worthy of respect" These are
some of the editors postulatcs, and their
absurdity speaks as little for his head,
as his depreciation of emancipation. and
his attempt to justify slavery, does for
his heart or his christianity. Equal
rights for all men, is the watchword OF
the friends of freedom, and no scheme
of which we ever had any knowledge,
nor person Of whom we have ever heard,
has ever proposed to give to the negro
rights beyond or above what the white
man possesses. If certain persons deny
the gift of inspiration to the writer's Of
the old testament, it is because they be.
lieve, with the editor himself, that the
Jewish scriptures sanction the Infamous
system Of human slavery" the most
palpable and ungodly heresy against JUS
tice and right that ever existed Let
the editor prove that the bible does up
hold the cause Of human bondage, and
he will accomplish more for Infdelity
than can be accomplished in any other
manner. Men could not then help feel
ing that they had better and surer NOR
al guide in their own bosoms-that they
gathered truer conceptions of Gods at
tributes from the word within.
But Mr.. HEDGES also deals in illustra-
tons. To prove abolitionists hypocrites
he refers to an example. He tells us to
look at BooTH, the higher law victim,
in Wisconsin-willing to turn the coun-
try up side down for the rescue of Mig
ger from his master and the law, next
manifesting his devotion to higher law in
seducing young lady and consignng
her to infamy worse million times, than
slavery" Two points of objection to
this clause arise in our mind. First,
that truth should not be judged by the
character of its advocates. If the prin-
ciple Of opposition to slavery is correct,
then the transgression of law and morals
by one of its advocates should no more
reflect upon the cause, than should the
truths of christianity suffer from the
crimes of many of its professors. Sec
ond, we cannot conceive how the young
lady could be consigned to an infamy
million times worse than slavery. Slav-
cry, Jefferson said, {" is the sum of all
villanies." 1t involves all the infamy
which BooTH's victim can suffer, and
an incalculable amount more 1t de-
MES to the female the right to live virtu-
ously, as the editor would have her in
structed. Sells her MANY times for the
express purpose of gratifying a brutal
lust, and forces her to raise offspring for
her masters profit. While the one may
wash out the stain by better life, and
IN another community come to be loved
and respected, the other can never be
otherwise than degraded to the mere
beast, all aspirations of better, truer
life utterly hopeless. Which suffers the
greater infamy, Mr.. HEDGES, and to
which, as protesting christian, should
you accord the most sympathy
