Nothing Ia LOST, ne no" says b'0i|'"e %
"lost" Lost: between the 9Th of December and
the 9Th of January, the confidence of the Hon.
Caleb Gushing. A liberal reward will be paid to
he fpder.
1t is out Of our power to print DIR. Cushings let
er in full. We don't think our readers could stand
il. But, after the fashion of those who prepare
statutes for the press can, perhaps, indicate by
a digest its contents. In this way:
Fanatica Abolitionsts fragrant invasion,
Brink VI dsmemberment UnsoundaOle abyss
National mbecity, Chronic anarchy,
Feocious philanthropy, Assassination and treason,
The Socialist Proudhon RstiOnalsm, Milersm,'
PhaIisaica seltTighteousness Rot at the "harVes,,
Grass In the streets, lncarnaolhe tne nelu''
Murderous foray Impending crisis,
Social couyul,iops, Atlantic Cesar,
Rsying ide ole sies, Epaueted Emperors,
Etc, etc.
This will give general but imperfect idea of the
melancholy and tragic character of this eplste.
There is hardly cheerful word in it. We detect
only these: " auriferous sands " fertile helds,'
and silver sierras." All else is black and dismal
in the extreme Why is this ? We can attribute
this change to nothing but the fact that Mr.
CushiDg's speech at Faneuil Hall was poorly re-
ceiyed at the South. There was one unfortunate
expression in it. Speaking of Emerson and Phil
lips, he said they had become monomaniacs " BY
constant brooding upon one single idea-th@t
"idea, if you please, right one" Several OF the
Dsunonist Members of Congress snapped at this
expression with great eagerness "Here," said
they, :" is the Hon. Caleb Gushing, one of the
"soundest men in the North, admitting that the
abolition of Slavery is right idea.
" The doctrines of the shirt-tail letter
1" and the Arkansas speech stick to him
"yet there is no sOundness anywhere" Under
this state Of feeling Mr.. Gushing has no doubt felt 1t
necessary to define his position anew by his letter to
the "Norumbega Hall meeting, name not cheer
full in itself. In addition to the dismal generalities
with which this letter is filled, as we have shown by
our digest of it's contents it contains some special
things worthy of observation. Among them are-l,
a declaration, substantially, that the Constitution
gives the stakeholder the right of sOourn and transit
with bis slaves in the Free States 3 that Slaveyis
neither sin moral wrong; 3, that the substi-
tuition of monarchy fora republic isan open political
question; 4, that he who attacks Slavery is an ene-
my to all property and correspondent of Proud
hon; and 5, that the South will be justified IN re-
sstance at all hazards within the Union or outside
of the Union. This must be sufficient to offset the
Faneuil Hall speech and the Arkansas speech; and
ven obliterate from the Southern memory the
Initial letter. Henceforth there can be no rea-
sonabe excuse for finding fault with the position of
he Hon. Caleb Gushing.
Mr.. Gushing winds up his letter in the following
train:
Ifhe struggle which going force into the Speak

Crisis south should succeed-and may BY reasons of
incompabie OF opinion OF the adverse actual ma
oy of the ousehs incident would be in itself the arrival

leon to secure to the weary world respite from the dssonant

and line of epauetted emperor, close
series of the hOnored Presidents of the United States
We confess that the mention of "New-Hamp-
" shire and Connecticut" makes us feel little
suspicious that Mr. Cushing's letter is written for
effect on the Spring elections. 1t looks little like
a branch of that enterprise in which some of the
Connecticut Democrats have lately been engaged
an attempt to scare the manufacturers of that
State The auson to ProudhOn, and his theory
that property is robbery part of the same dodge.
If the manufacturers of Connecticut can be per-
suaded that il will not be safe to send their peddlers
into Massachusetts and Vermont, because an Abo-
tonist is at heart and in grain thief of all prop
erty, they may possibly be induced to vote the
Democratic ticket at the Spring election. If their
workmen can be made to believe that Mr.. Cushing's
advice will be followed and all great local enter
prises will be wound up they, also, may follow the
obvious dictate of selfinterest and vote the same
way. In this view of the case, there is method In
what seems madness. 1t is lawful and justifiable,
of course. for man to make judy of himself in
order TO get votes. If he gets laughed at III the
beginning, yet wins by it in the end, he may console
himself, with good reason. We trust that this
view of the subject will not be lost sight of by the
people of Connecticut and NewHsmpshire. They
will have too much courage and good sense to be
sweryed from their usual course by the gOngs,
drums, and trumpets, masks, specters, and hobgOb-
Inns, of the Hon. Caleb Gushing.
But not to do Mr. Gushing injustice, we will
oppose, for the sake of the argument, that his
urpose is patriotic, and not partisan. VIII he set
he example which no says it will " become all
persons in the Eastern States to follow WIZ
he advise the firm of John n and VIM. Cushing IN
