" Where is Massachusetts ~

That forgotten old accident, John Tyler,
when delivering his inaugural address to the
Old Gentlemens Convention at Washington last
winter, in simulated fervor OF patriotic rebuke,
cried out, Where is Massachusetts y The
old Bay State had not then taken seats in the
Peace Congress. She had no faith in the John
Tyler method of curing the diseases of the
country and she made no haste to 60 down
to the Potomac at the invitation of Virgin
ia. She saw, at that time, through the trans
parent patriotism of Virginia, and beheld the
demon Of Treason lurking behind, ready to
strike at the Government. She had little faith
in Peace Congress, less in Virginia, and least
of all in John Tyler.
1t has been but a few weeks since the accident
propounded his inquiry. In the meantime the
deliberations of his Congress Amounted to moth
ing except to gain time for the Rebels. John
Tyler very soon threw off the mask which so
poorly concealed his real purposes, and went
home to Virginia, spouting his deviish treason
at every cross road. The Government which
had been quieting itself with the delusive hope
that the traitors were becoming sick of their
treason, and anxiously looking for some rretext
to return to their allegiance at last woke up to
full comprehension of the danger that beset
the Union. They saw that the TRAITORS had only
been gathering their strength for a sudden and
desperate spring at the very heart Of the Nation.
I've loyal States were instantly called to arms.
|, T., b.,r,, r.
She nurtl plui, IN the teeth Of tIc Government
an ordinance ol secession. Massachusetts, was
invited to this new Peace Congress, and as the
lightning on its swift wings bore the word '' to
arms through her borders, her sons sprang to
the post of danger. She did not hesitate mo-
menu. Her troops were at once in motion. Her
regiments were pushed through New York and
Pennsy lvania before those great States had fully
comprehended the necessity for immediate &C.
ton. She left few of her own dead in Balti-
more, but the cry was, forward" and her
gallant soldiers pressed on to the Capital She
hot only opened the way to Washington, but
she is to-day keeping it open, and if Virginia is
foiled in her mad scheme of destroying the Fed
eral Metropolis, the result will be largely due
to the aacrity with which the Bay State re-
sponded to the call of the Administration.
Nv here is Massachusetts,? She is under
the Flag, in the front rank bearing aloft that
glorious symbol, and keeping step to the music
of the Union. And where is Virginia? Aye.
John Tyler, where is Virginia? She has cast
her lot with traitors, and clothed herself in the
garment of rebellion,-a garment that will one
day burn with the fire of her torment and she
may yet ask Massachusetts, to save her from the
flames of the pit into which she is plunging.

Rev. j. II. G. Nichols Sermon.

We publish to-day a sermon preached the
last Sabbath in the Unitarian Church, Saco
by the pastor of the Unitarian Society, Rev
j. I. G. Nichols, and invite our readers tC
give it careful perusal. Wenever listened
to moro powerful, able and eloquent dis
course, and the deep and timely interest II
awakened in us and in Others induced us "a
ask of Mr.. Nichols copy for publication
We feel that we do the community service
in spreading before them production which
is admirably suited to the times, one which
while it is pervaded unto the spirit Of him
who taught as never man taught and il
free from the narrOwness Of the partizan
and the bigot's prejudice, at the same time
boldly sets forth in language as truthful as i
is patriotic, the duties of the citizen in THU
hour of trial of our country institutions.
We thank Mr.. Nichols for his bold and
manly utterances, for the clearness Of hi
views, for his expressions of willingness to
make personal sacrifice for the cause Of his
country, and by which he shows that the
spirit of Christ's Gospel as well as cause Of
order, good government, demands of the pa
triot sometimes stern duties and unlimited
sacrifices; and that there can be no holier
work than that of defending, even at the
price of blood, If need be, the government
when assailed by rebbels and threatened with
distraction.
We scarcely need to say that its delivery
made a deep Impression on the congrega-
ton. There was that profound stiffness dur
ing its utterance that ever indicates deep
impressions and intense interest, and many
of its patriotic passages stirred the souls OF
many to their utmost depths, and moved
them even to tears.

The First Company in Biddeford |!

The disposition of the people in this city
to serve the country is right. On Monday
forenoon informal enlisting papers were pre-
pared by the Editor OF the Union, and before
the close of the day thirty persons had sign
ed, pledging themselves to join, il required
by the Governor. the regiment from Maine
called for by the President. On Tuesday
over forty names were added during the day
and evening. BY permission of the City
Council. meeting of the company was held
at the City Hall on Tuesday evening, at
which many Of our best citizens were pres
ent, by invitation. The meeting was very
enthusiastic. The company voted unani-
mously to tender its services to the Governor
for immediate service, through committee
consisting of George w. Mason, Charles b.
Dexter, Samuel Pilsbury, Robert Stevens,
and George w. Morrison, and these gentle
men were also chosen a general committee
for the company to cooperate with Mr.. Cow
an in matters pertaining to the welfare OF
the company, and with the Military Depart
ment at Washington. The company will
probably be Differed in few days, and be
put in readiness to answer the call OF the
Governor. Mr.. Charles b. Foster was cho-
sen to take the papers to Augusta and confer
with the Commander-in. Chief in relation to
equipments, clothing, and the organization
of the company. Mr.. Foster left on Wedncs-
day morning to perform the service.
The meeting at the City Hall was adj
dressed by VIM. ii. Thompson, Esq. Ira An
drews and Others, pledging their influence
and their means to aid in the support Of the
families Of persons called into active service.
There is in our community tho utmost de-
sire to do every thing which can contribute
to the comfort Of the soldiers. A few days
ago paper was started to raise money for
fund to be expended under the direction Of
the City Council for the support Of the fam
lilies Of members who might be in want dur
ing their absence. The paper was headed
by Augustine Haines, ESQ, Agent of the
Laconia Co., with the liberal subscription
lof $50.

feel any thing but regret that such disrepu'
table proceedings occurred. While we know
that some men were engaged in the Affair."
the larger part of the crowd were boys and
to their charge should be laid the greater
share Of the odium Of the unjustifable pro-
ceedings.
We have already said moro than we de-
signed about the matter. 1t is Of no use to
give it consequence by too much talk, and
above all things it should not be used as
lever to divide public sentiment, and to pre-
vent the harmonious cooperation OF men oil
all parties in doing their part to sustain the
Government. The demands on the patriot
now are great, the responsibilities heavy
The partisan must stand aside, prejudiccs be
east away, and for the time being even the
expression of honestly cherished convictions
US to the influence Of past party action had
better be avoided. We have common Gov
eminent belonging to us all to preserve, the
flag of our country to sustain, and hence
forward, and until that Government is per-
manently established, and that flag waves in
triumph over united nation, let us be men,
brothers, making due allowances for the ex-
elements of the day, and pardoning some
thing to the spirit of liberty whose very ex-
cesses, though they can never be justified,
may sometimes find causes for palliatiOn ;
rally with one heart and one will to the de-
fence of the best Government the world ever
saw, and swear by the living God that cost
what it may, Of personal sacrifice, that it
shall be maintained. We make this appeal
to men who have not sympathizcd with us
in political sentiment. We do not expect
they will hereafter on mere political ques-
tions.
What they have done, the evidences they
have given and are daily giving of loyalty to
their country, has filed our heart with re-
joicing, its pulsations have been quickcned
by their generous devotion, and our hopes Of
a future successful termination Of this I'M
natural struggle strengthened by their ear
nestness in the cause OF their country. We
Join hand with them as brothers, and in ODE
dience to our convictions Of duty, by every
consideration which can appeal to the heart
Of man and patriot, we will stand by
them in resisting every violation of law,here
as well as elsewhere; and when the work is
done, the priceless gift Of the Constitution
secured, and the Union placed beyond the
possibility Of destruction, we will, with feel
ings softened by the manifestations of patri-
otism from those who have differed from us,
return to the work Of advocating partisan
views, and not until then.

The Indian Queen lay about halt mile

the crew would give the kidnappers q bloody
reception if they attempted it. Besides, the
vessel was then on the high seas, which
would make it piracy. was questioned Us

what kind of hands they were.
A few days after the ordinance of secess.

him North ON the train, with directions to
run him out Of the country.

rz,- Tho tina Of The Editor Of tho Union,

II The timo Of the Editor Of the Union,
since the last issue has been, as he thinks,
occupied too much better advantage to tho
Country than in writing long and perhaps
prosy editorials on the state Of public affairs.
Every body knows that the condition Of the
country is in imminent peril, and that every
friend of the Union and the Constitution and
of popular institutions is called to act
rather than talk, and acting on this princi-
pie the editor has been cnlisting men to servo
the State, and his success in this, to him
somewhat novel business, has been remarka-
bly, good. A sufficient number have signed
the paper to form good company, and he
feels satisfied that the men who have signed
to go to the war, will stand by the country
and its flag to the last.
