No, sir, freedom of speech is not quite
gone. Il "still lives" in Boston. This
mban prosecution is nos to affect it. The
respectable members Of the Republican
party thiak, and say plainly whas they
| think about it. Those that happen to
know Of them are gentlemen. They do
not agree with me in politics, when pol
isics existed, but they agree with me in
now despising that petty prosecution OF
| laboEers and N meehanlca for kheiF opinions,
which Was the reproaeh of the old Whig
party, and which was one Of the causes of
It's fall, az great and respectable as that
party was. They say with perfect truth
| that the whole moral effect of our unani-
nifty depends upon it's notorious freedom
from constraint, and that it would not
only be lost to us, bus would be used
against Us with tremendous power, If it
could be shown for one moment to be
produced by fear or force. And | agree
With them most fully. If We cannot hold
our own against one or two seeessionists
| in q whole State bore without force, what
are We t1 do With the armies Of StcaswAll

If the leading Republicans, however,
abandon their own principles TO take ven
geanes for opinions sake, can tell you
that they viii not leave 80 gre4G q matter

prosecution in this case. They Will not

such cases properly belongs, 10 whine

They will not attempt to watch US in en-
| try ways, like Mr.. Phineas Stone-or ad-
vertise US in Sunday papers, as were the
Gordons- Nor, if We happen to be so
situated, will they sneak round TO mas
ter builders or other employers, and
threaten them with loss of business il We
are not dismissed, as the high-toned aud
magnanimous practice of Mr.. William
| Washburn. This petty business never
sprung from them. They are a great
party and believe an honest one, They
are not to be measured with the measure
of Mr.. Sumner, or of Peter Hobart. II
they utter sneers in their temper, they
empty their pockets in their generosity to
heal the sick and feed the widow and the
orphan. And when they do that air, they
never ask what party the husband or the
father belonged TO- No, sir The bulk
of the Republican party love their eoun-
try and help their coantrymsa. They
leave the mean business of spy and in
