Hon. c. +. Adams, Minister to Eng
land, has published We y able farewell
letter TO his late coustitu nts Of the
Massachusetts Third District, from which
we make the following extracts:
In my views the conclusion inevitably
must be that the political revolution Of
ths last year makes a great era In Amer
can history, second My to that Of our
independence. II saved us from the i'm
pending domination Of sluveholdinp ub-
so lutism. did hope that il might have
been effected without a convulsion. ]
I did believe that il might have been fol-
lowed by a policy which whilst Il wrong
ed no one, would in the end save even
the sluveholding States from the pcrils
Of their situation. lnthcsc expeditions
II would seem. from present appearnnc. IS
that was mu h 90 san ,uino. Tbs les
perate agitators have precipitated the
more moderate and potri.tic classes Of
their fellow citizens into n revolution -
They have stalk d their all upoa the
maintenance Of their political sunremA
ey as a alaveholding oligarchy. We can.
not refuse the issue rendered to us IL VIZ
would. Their whole action since IN,
sixth Of November, has been aggreysiy
insulting, treachorous and violent, veiy
natural corollary from the principles OF
which their organization is now based-
We have no choice but to sacrifice oui
Independence IL we can consent TO thei
demand. The question is between ou
cherished law Of 1916, resting upon tbs
/ rights of man, and the old lotion OF Al
ric, the Goth, revived 10 1870, that f,r.
may bs proceeded by fraud, and that
might makes right. We arc now the
champions Of law and republican liberty
Retreat is impossible even Il il were IA

old faith or be disgrseed forever. Deer

spired 10 give the impending struggle un.
