Again have your Representatives in Conven-
tlon placed before you nominee for Legislative
houors. aud again are you called upon to vindi-
cate by your sufIrages the time-honored and tried
principles of your party.
At no period in the history Of our country have
we been called upon as party or as citizens, to
act with the same degree of frmness and patriot
ism as at the present, for the purpose of putting
down rebellion on the one hand aud ianaticism
on the other, and we hope and believe you who
have never yielded your sound Judgment to the
whirwiuds of passion and prejudice will in this
trying hour of our country's trouble prove to
the world that your principles are unyielding in
favor of the Constitution of the United States,
as our fathers gave it to us, which alone secured
to us all the blessings of life, liberty, property
and happiness.
In this great crisis we hold ii to be the duty Of
every citizen to aid 10y all Constitutional means

restore a union of territory and people as here.

State have the exclusive right to regulate their
domestic institutions in their own way.
If this violation of that sacred instrument is
permitted to be perpctrated without notice by
us, how long will it be before the whole insru-
ment is torn to threads and we be found in a
worse rebellion in the North than that which
now exists in the South. No inducement should
force us from strict construction Of that instru
mont for in compliance with its mandates in
all respects we find peace and happiness, and as
a necessary consequence, in violation of the
strict construction of that instrument, we find
anarchy and disorganizaton. Rally to your

Sons OF THE OLD BAY SrATE,-As in the days
of the Revolution, so now, the sons Of the Old
Bay State are foremost in every field whore the
nation most needs their services. She has al
ways furnished her quota of troops at the first
call-her blood was the first she'd in the conflict !;
aud so eager is she for the fray that, whatever
may be necessary elsewhere, drafting will not, it
Is believed, have to be rcsorted to in gallant
Massachusetts,. But her wounded children need
comforts. Massachusetts man, writing to this
State, says:
Sons Of the Old Bay State your companions
in school, your playmates in childhood, are sut-
iering for the comforts which you can spare.
Can you sit down inactive aud feel that you are
doing your duty? In Gods name, arouse your
selves, and take this matter of life aud death into
your own hands, and by your eXertions save the
lives Of many Massachusetts, noble sons. Would
to God you could witness these poor, emaciated
aud wounded soldiers as they are brought here
from New York. 1t would make your hearts
bleed to see them with their shattered limbs and
clothes perforated with deadly bullets Do, for
the credit of your adopted State, make one ef-
fort, and send your contributions TO the New
England Society at New York, with instructions
to apply them TO the benefit Of Massachusetts
sons.

NEWSPAPER SPEouLAuoNs.-Th following clev
er take Off on the manner in which newspapers
speculate on important matters, these times, is
from Tanity Far:
That the Emperor of France has thought, is
thinking. or will at some future period think Of
recognizing the Southern COnfederacy would
seem to be sufficiently proved by the fact that
he recently remarked to the Due az that
" something must be - but on the other hand
as he said the next day to the Count-that " he
would see about it, the lmpca intentions are
to some extent uHdeveloped 1t is affirmed but
also denied, that The Emperor is in close CORE.
-pondence with Mr. Gregory the English mem
Der of Parliament. 1t is further declared that
Mr.. Gregory should his government hold back,
is determined to 90 to war with the United States
on his own responsibility. Orders have been
issued from the Admiralty Office for the mme-
diaie construction of 1900 vessels upon the plan
of the Monitor Mr. Layard states in the House
of Commons that the visit Of Mr.. Mercier to
Richmond was simply visit and that, whatev-
er might have been his motive it was undoubtedly
known to himself if not to others. The Paris
correspondent of the Morning HeraH conlradicts
the correspondent of the Times in several partc-
ulars, although he confirms the prognosticatio
of the Independence Beige in some respects, aud
those of Belt's Life in LondOn in others which it
is unnecessary to partculaIize Great sympathy
was felt for the rebels in Calcutta, Cochin China,
Mesopotamia and throughout Central Africa
The views Of Earl Russell are said to remain
substantially unchanged but the Saturday Re
uie,p observes that this may or may not be, ac-
cOrding to circumstances. On the whole, while
there are those who will consider this news to be
eminently favorable to the United States, there
are others we venture only to intimate, who viii
hold an opposite opinion Delay in forming
our iudgemant cannot under any circumstances
be preindicial to just estimate of the facts
while our haste in conclusions may lead to an
erroneous estimate of the intentions Of Gregory
and other First Rate Powers. 1t will be well to
walt That we shall ultimately see what we
shall see, must, we confdentaly believe be clear
to every dispasionate, rejecting, unprcudced,
candid, patriotic, enlightened and judcious
