THE MASSACHUSETTS STRIKE-lTs EFFECT AT LYNN.
The Lynn Bay State of March lst denies, in the
following terms the exaggerated reports in regard
to troubles attendant on the shoe strike in that
town: Htl. t"rEa
''The fact is, we have had no riot, no mob in the
city, and nothing has taken place that can be so
construed as to make anything like them appear.
Not so many violations of the law have been COM
mitted as have frequently occurred on an ordinary
Fourth of July. There has been no crowd of dis
orderly persons that could not have been controlled
with ease and without danger, by ten or a
dozen efficient policemen, headed by an eff
cient leader Our streets have been perfectly quiet
during the DAYS and nights since the strike began
not an insult has been given to awoman, not a
square of glass has been broken or apartcle of any
kind of property destroyed. few boxes of shoe
stock have been stopped in the streets, and these
acts we're unlawful and wrong, and the strikers
themselves put stop to them, before the police
from Boston arrived, and there would nave been
no further trouble that score If no police ocers
| had been seen in the streets afterwards. ~
"The situation of things here has been greatly
exaggerated by the reports in the Boston papers,
many of which have been incorrect in regard to
the prices paid for labor, the general condition OF
the trade, and objects and acts of the shoemakers.
The reporters have, we believe, intended to be
| fair; but they have-in some instances, at least
| derived their information from sources which,
under all the circumstances, were not entitled to
! implicit credit.

DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN.-In several of the
Republican newspapers of this District we OBJ
served last week, call for District Conven-
ton at White River Junction; on the LIST day of
August. Not having received copy of the
call from the District Committee, nor any no.
tice or information whatever relative to a Dis
trict Convention, we are unable to say whether
the call referred to is genuine or not. If it is
not bogus we apprehend that the Committee
acted upon the assumption mot original perhaps
with thcm) that Windham County is not in the
I'd Congressional District of Vermont, but that
it is without the limits of the State.
P. S.-Since writing the above we have re-
ceved letter from the chairman of the Dis
trict Committee, informing us that he supposed
a copy of the call had been mailed in season,
and that if not received it was the result of
some accident. We therefore exoneratc the
Committee and give the call an insertion.

is almost impossible for the free man to carry
his free notions and his free labor into slave
territory. Even if the galows does not stand
in his way, as it did in that of John Brown, he
will meet with other obstacles almost as insur-
mountable.
The fact is, inasmuch as our tilabe new
land is nearly taken up and our manufacturing
interests Frustrated by the slave-lobor policy,
there is no longer that demand for labor that
there was formerly upon this continent, and
consequently that state of things which gave
rise TO African Slavery no longer exists. On
the contrary, the state of things at the present
day, is operating against it. The "higher law" is
being carried into execution; and we should
fail in that wisdom which is necessary to self
government should we let the clover law" the
slave policy, be the ruling principle of our votes
and our action. 1t is no longer suitable to our
condition. 1t is species of conservatism that
serves but to obstruct our growth and prog
