TaB WAR or 1872
Passing over snsny facts, for wan. of
space, We shall con.en. ourselves w:.h q !
reference to the following as dcaoting the
hostility Of New England to the war of
1872, which 4 deemed good cause for u |
dissolution Of the Uniun:
The Bostota Centtnel, the Federal organ
as late as 1914, Dec. 10th, said: Those Who !
startle at the danger efa scpurutiom. tell
us that the SOL Of New England is hard
and sterile" Again. On lib December,
1914, the Cett;n,i said: 1T is said that
10 make treaty of commerce will, the en- !
emy is TO violate the Constitution and 10
'eftr the tmitm. Are they not both al-
ready virtually destrowd3 or in what stage
IT existence would they be, should ue d. !
rsdre neutrality or e,en @,thhold tuaes
md men ?" I
Here We have both secession and nulli-
ication proposed. But the most n.onstrous Of
Ill these New England schemes is to come.
It is as follows -
The object Of the leading Federalis,s I
n Massachusetts, during The war, was to
establish a monarchy. with one of the
Ioyal family of Engtard at It's head. Mr.
WALLIS says the British Colonel N,cuoLs
old him the Naval Comn,a..der had his
orders to place HARRISON GKAY OrIs at
ne head Of the affair. until The pleasure of
be Prince Regent was known
What that pleasure" was to be, ap-
,e.rs to have been already arranged. The
