10 begin to suppress liberty of speech there
(AppauSe.) If slavery was state affair, we
had nothing to do with it; but it national, we
had a right to assail it anywhere. lApp ause.l
There was no just ground for secession in the
election of Mr.. Lincoln, and he believed there
would be none in his administration
Hon Geo. Morey addressed the electors at
some length in response. In concluding he
said =
Massachusetts, from the time she adopted
the constitution of the United States, has new.
er failed TO comply with its provisions, and 10
obey its injunctions. She has repeatedly IN
the spirit and to the letter executed, or aided
in executing the most obnoxious laws of con.
gress, and this, too, in the most faithful and
stern manner With regard 10 the legislation,
il is believed that at every period OF her msto-
ry it would bear most favorable and satlsiac-
tory comparison with that of any other state
in the Union. Great care has been exercised
in the framing of laws by our state legislatures
SO that no conflctions should occur with any
provision OF the constitution of Massachusetts,,
or of the Union. Our laws have often been
carefully revised, and most perfect and
thorough revision has recently leen made
by Il legislature, amongst whose menu
beers were prominent men OF every pc
litical party, and it is the opinion of pro-
found and able lawyers that no enactment now
remains in our amended and revised code
conflicting in any degree with the constitution
of the United States. But If case should
arise, in which it shall be found by the con-
servatve, able, learned, and upright judges
OF our highest tribunal that any existing pro,
vision of law is reougnant to the national
constitution, they will be sure to declare the
same imperative and void, and our people
will most readily acquiesce in the decision
as they always have done oa every similar
occasion.

The value al necessity of postal COM
munication between those large commercial
marie, at later hour of the day than has
hitherto existed, has long been apparent to the
department. but various difficulties have inter
vened to prevent its attainment. All tine lines
connecting the two cities are composed Of
three and four distinct companies, deriving
their charters from as many different states,
and having each its own interests and local
purposes to advance Recent negotiations,
however, have resulted in arrangements tor
an interior train, leaving New York at P. NJ
and running through New Haven, Hartford
Springfield and Worcester, reaching Boston
in not more than nine hours, and returning
| from Boston to New York at similar hours.
| In this manner correspondence prepared in
| either city TO the close Of the latest business
| hours is taken through and delivered at an ear
ly hour of the succeeding morning A con-
nection is also made at New York with the
morning mail from the south-whch is thus
expedited some thirteen hours-so that letters
land passengers, leaving Washington in the
morning, arrive at Boston in less than twenty
three hours, and from Baltimore in about
twenty-one hours; conversely, correspond
ence leaving Boston at eight o'clock one eve
ming, is received and delivered at Washington
before the same hour the next evening. The
arrangement is for three months only, it being
an experiment, to result i'll permanent organ
ization, should it prove successful as postal
measure and remuneratve to the contractors
as passenger conveyance"

mayoon, and Fauchon, with many startling
and interesting Adventures on Sea and Land.
Boston Published for the Author This is a
copy of the tenth edition of book which
deserves to have large circulation. 1t was
written by Mrs. D. Bates, wife of Capt Bates
of the ship Momentum of Boston, which was
burned while on her way to San Francisco.
The Nonantum left Boston in July, 1850, and
was discovered to be on fire when few days
sail from the Falklands, where those on board
found shelter She spent month at these
islands, and the book gives an interesting
account of men and things there. They finally
left in the British ship Humayoon tor Val
paraiso. This ship was burned near Cape
Horn. They were rescued by the British
Symmetsy, and afterwards put on board the
American ship Fanchon, bound to San Fran.
CISCO But this ship took fire also, and those
on board were compelled TO seek refuge at an
inhospiiable place on the coast of Peru, some
fifty miles from Payta. All these ships were
laden with coal, in which the fire originated
Capt Bates and his wife finally reached San
francisco in April, 1851. All this is told on
the first SO pages, and the remaining $50
pages give very entertaining account of a
three years residence in California. The
book is certainly very readable, and we hope
for the authors sake, as well as the readers,
that il may find great many more purchaser.
