has been borne from the northwest by the arms
otthe people into the president al chair. He has

/ has been stated, the telegraph flashes TO us
! what has been described as the opening OF
farce. y few men in the south, or oIlcers OF
the federal government, who are ABOUT 10 oe
dismissed have tried to commend themselves
to their people by resigning their offices TAP
| pause and iaughterl The men who IN CON
/ oress have made their threats of disunion
! are now at home. Ii the Geographic de-
spatches are examined carefully, it will be
/ seen that the merchants of the south tele-
! graph to the merchants Of the north that there
! is 10 danger OF secession. Georgia does not
mean to secede Ii we take her at her own
word she simply proposes to bite her own
nose of There Is nothing in the constitution
to prevent that daughter and cheers. In
all OF these fiery secession speeches there is an
'if" Toombs said that he would sccede it he
could get enough TO 20 with him. Yancey in
his fiery speech and in his letter to Slaughter
was loud in his cries Tor disunion but after
the Pennsylvania election he thought he would
wait for Alabama and then il after she had
considered the matter she would secede she
should be borne up by the mighty arm OF
1aneey, and not till then. Ii these Shoald
commit the folly they threaten, what GA earth
has led them to do it, but the white-livered,

try.
Thus were the New Enganders initiated
into the rare sport of Old England. We have
seen few timid foxes who, by their speeches
and their organs, in great cities have Taught
the southern people that they have but to
threaten and their ends are accomplished. If
the wolf comes, the men who brought about
an infamous fusion, having princip es and
goods to sell will be the first to suffer. He
was sorry to say that in old Massachusetts
sets and in Faneuil Hall district there
are men who will first feel the sharp
teeth of this little wolf Their business
may for time be injured; but it will
be the result OF their own servility. The
people in the northwest standing in their own
acres have no fear of a dissolution of the
Union. They desire the shedding of no fra
ternal blood. Adhering to the sentiments of
Washington, Clay, Webster, Jefferson, and
Silas Wright, they say with brave hearts, we
welcome this conflict for the constitution and
the Union. The kind, good man, Lincoln,
will calmly soothe these disturbed feelings
The speaker then reviewed the prominent
benehcent measures that AIR Lincoln would
institute. Under his administration we shall
hear the music Of the hammer and axe the
spindle and loom, and contentment viii dwell
al the hreslde. We are about to 20 into
power. Let us assume a manly dignity let
us lay aside our resentments let us try to
persuade those who closed their ears against
us. They will hear US now. They cannot
listen longer to the Bell and Everett orators
who told them that they could carry MaSsaChu-
sets and Pennsylvania, but rather TO that
senator who had predicted the event precisely
as 1t has happened. Let us from the stand
point Of mercy and magnanimity be kind to
these madmen. We could not cure them
before the election, but l trust that event will
do SO. loud cheers
The speaker paid a high compliment to Mr..
Appleton, and said that standing in the pre-
sence of these menaces from the south, and
bearing III mind the position OF his northern
constituents, he must give his vote aud his
silence too III favor of the administration of
Lincoln. lie must from necessity, in respect
10 his Massachusetts blood, stand on the side of
freedom. Mr.. Burlingame said that he would
repeat what he had said in that good city of
Chelsea, that if lie (Appleton) would lean to-
wards freedom he would promise that lie would
be the first to go 10 Faneuii Hall to back him
up, loud cheerS.) He would not only 90 to
taneull Hall to back him, ut he would do
all he could to keep him in congress. The
speaker said he descended into the ranks of
that noble people for whom he had given the
best efforts OF his humble lie. He thanked
the people of the noble fifth district Tor the

had gwen him a chance, when the white bUs-
ON of Massachusetts was smitten, to strike
back the blow. (Cheers.) He would promise
that, wherever he might so, whatever fortunes
might attend him, his memory would go back
to the fifth district What should he say to
those who have stood by him so calamity
the laboring men, the young men Wherever
he might go, he would strive as much as he
could TO be worthy Of their love and devotion
and lifting his face from the noble fifth district
turning TO the hearts in New England, the
middle states and the glowing west beating
responsive to his own, speaking from the cen
ire Of the fiery band OF young men in the fifth
district, he would say that the spirt which has
confronted the slave power in Washington,
and the money power in Boston, still lives, is
unawed and unsubdued that it is still more
endeared TO the cause Of liberty.
The speaker was about to close, when the
audience shouted go on, and applauded him
voclerously.
He then said that now lie was free to strike
when and where he would. He had not now
the fear, that whenever he turned over, he
should step upon the equity toe of some hun
ker in the fifth district. Great applause.
The speaker closed with the following familiar
quotation -
Thy spirit, Independence, let me share;
Thy stepsI follow with my bosom bare,
Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky
Mr. Burlingame retired amid loud and pro
longed cheering.
Sena,or wilson also made a brief and ex~
ceedingly effective speech. He spoke Of the
magnitude of the victory which had been
achieved, and ended as follows =
eve have won-after many years OF strug.
gle-we have won a brilliant victory. We
have proclaimed our principles-we nave been
true 10 our principles. Now, in power, let US
see to it that we carry out what we have pro-
fessed out of power. Applause. Let us
show to the country and the world that these
principles live in our hearts, and that we were
honest in their PRONUNCIATION, anc that we will
stand by them in victory as we have stood by
them in defeat. (Applause, Let us, gentle
mef, see to it that the work not yet completed
shall be accomplished We want to carry ev-
cry congressional district in the free states.
Applause We have not the senate; we
shall not have the next house. Let us then
gathe up our forces, strengthen our hearts, be
wise and judicious, gain by fidelity to our prin.
ciples, and let us see to it that we organize and
| carry every congressional district Of the free
states, in the second congress of Lincoln's adj
ministration. But above all, gentlemen, let us
see to it that Massachusetts shall be united in
the congress of the United States for the cause
OF human liberty in America" Great APP
