Massachusetts, was the first State Of the
North in the field, as was South Carolina the
first Of the South, in arms after the breaking
out Of the civil war. Is the loyalty Of Massa-
chusetts, like that of South Carolina cond-
tionsl, and does the furnishing OF her share Of
the additional troops required depend on the
Presidents support of the unconstitutional
and outrageous proclamation Of General Hunt
err II Governor Andrew fairly represents
the State Of which he in the official head, we
cannot see what difference in principle there
that of Massachusetts,. The young men Of the
latter, we are told, are all preoccupied with
other views than fighting for the Union; but
if the President will sustain General Hunter
and recognize the blacks as equal to white
men. and will proclaim universal emancipa-
population Of the South. then !" the roads will
swarm with multitudes whom New England
will pour out to obey the CALI Of the Secre-
tary Of War. According to this response of
Governor Andrew, Massachusetts, went into the
war not to subdue the rebels and restore the
Union, but to abolish negro slavery, and bring
down the white race TO The level of blacks.
II a 49,
through the patriotism and frmness Of the
President Massachusetts, does not care to take
any further part in the war.
II this be no. misrepresentation OF the sen
tinaents Of Massachusetts,, it behooves the peo-
pie of that State TO come forward and repu-
sachusetts has right TO pass Judgment on the
policy Of the President. and to insist upon his
altering IL before she will come forward
at his call to maintain the constitution
and the laws and to save the Union from
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, then she stands in the at
titude of passive resistance and constructive
rebellion, and contends for doctrines Of States
rights and States sovereignty utterly at vsri-
ance with the coercion Of the South and with the
war for the Union. rendering the part she has
taken in the struggle Inconsistent and self
stultifying. II she is really disloyal to the
Union, and acquiesces in the response Of her
Governor, let her understand, and let all New
England understand, that this war can be
brought to successful termination without
the aid of man east Of the Hudson. The
great West and the great Middle States
can and will decide the destiny Of the
republic, and New England has no power
to prevent it. After what Massachusetts, has
already done, the present course OF her
Governor reminds one OF COW that, yielding
agoodly quantity Of milk, gives the pail kick
which spills its whole contents
The truth 10 the abolilioni.ts everywhere at
the North are in rebellion. either secret or
overt, against the President and the constitu-
ton, and are doing their utmost to accomplish
tie designs OF the rebels Of The South. They
are aiding them in every way. and ii they per-
sist much longer ii their rebeiious career il
may be necessary for the loyal citizens or the
| North to take them in hand and serve them
With Vie same sauce which they are dispensing
