The Springfield paper, the Albany
Atlas s. 4rgns well remarks, has right
to give its cognovit, as to the charge
against the Republicans of Massachusetts,,
but it has no authority to appear for and
defend the Republicans of the Union.
The truth is, the Republicans nearly
everywhere through the Northern and
Eastern States, had come to this measure
of prescription as the price of American
support. They pledged themselves to it
in this State by resolution atthelast Stat,
Convention. pendingin New Jersey

The only consideration that prevents it,

fear of losing votes in the Nerth Western
States in the next Pre- sideutial election
1t is doubtless true that there has beer
some abatement of that antipathy agains
, foreigners that rose to such a heigh
. upon the Know Nothing organization
and upon the reorganization of the New
e England Republicans upon the basis o
? so-called Americanism. This was owing
to the abatement of immigration; and t.
i, the hope that the more ductile and phi
able portion of the alien born might b.
led into the ranks of abolition by the or,
of a false liberalism. The ebb in immi
grafton, however, is about to be followe'
by flood tide, which will keep on 70
:, years. If the Republicans fall in 1860
