depends upon It's notorious ITeeQOm from
constraint, and that it would not only be lost
to US, but would be used against us with
tremendous power, if it could be shown for
one nom ent to be produced by fear or by
force. And l agree with them most fully.
If we cannot hold our own against one or two
secessionists in whole State here without
! force, what are we to do with the armies of
Stonewall Jackson?
If the leading Republicans, however,
abandon their own principles to take VEN
geance for opinions sake. can tell you that
they will not leave so great matter in the
hands Of any such persons as the prosecutors
in this case. They will not condescend to
shrink from the Court Of Judge Lynch, to
whom the jurisdiction Of such cases proper
ly belong, to whine over us in the cellar of
Deacon Palmer. They will rot attempt to
watch US in entry ways. like Mr.. Phineas
Stone-or advertise us in Sunday papers, as
were the Gordons. Now, if we happen to
be so situated, will they sneak around to
master builders or other employers, and
threaten them with loss of business if we
are not dismissed, as is the hightened and
magnanimous practice Of Mr.. William Wash
burn This party business never sprung
from them. They are a great party, and
believe au honest one. They are not to be
measured with the measure Of Mr.. Sumner,
or Of Peter Hobart. If they utter sneers in
their temper, they empty their pockets in
their generosity to heal the sick and fe ed
the widow and the orphan. And whey they
do that, sir, they never ask what party the
husband or the father belonged to. No, sir
The bulk of the Republicans love their
country and help their countrymen. They
leave the mean business of spy and inform
er, Of alarmist an d corrup;ionist to renegade
Democrats Of the Washburn kind, who
abandon their party without serving their
country. They leave that to them and the
remnants of the meddling disposition, which
has been the torment and reproach OF Mas
sachusetts, and the sorrow of its most Christ
ian characters, whether they rejoced in or
mourned over its churches.
The man who attends to every other
mans affairs, whether his own are attend ed
to or not. is almost exclusively Masssachu-
setts nuisance. To Massachusetts, society
meddling is, indeed. a scourge so great, that
it may be doubted whether it does not fully
counterbalance every comfort and blessing
concentrated in this favored country
Puritansm, which exalted the manly Eng
gish spirit to fanaticism on the one hand,
degraded it on the other hand to espionage.
Its churches were mutual assurance socie-
ties for the IA orality of their members. Its
doctrines are forgotten. But the evil which
the Puritans unconsciously did, lives after
them, and churches which detest their me-
mory and deny their teachings, are managed
on their principles. New England to-day
is covered with societies, IN which the best
of men and women conscientiously, but re-
luctantly, and the worst of men and women
eagerly with deviish delight. perform the
part of spies and informers upon each 9th Ter.
10 say tnar such gigantic system Of mn-
n Al nos m Il do oh
acter. is simply to say that eaves-droppng
and tale bearing are not low and mean oc-
cupatons. Under its influence, nothing is
known of mans real character or DISPOSE
ton. Habtual watchfulness upon the one
side awakens habtual hypocrisy on the
other And it is only when the little saint
of Boston xpands into the gigantic william
of New Orleans or San Francisco, that you
can tell how vast benefit you derived from
his emigration. The wickedness looked
little here, because we saw but little of it
The enormous pressure OF universal listen
ing and peeping had driven it deep into the
innermost fbres of our society. So pressed,
it produce Smelling Commi ttees-it elects
Hiss Legislatures; it brings such men as Dea-
con Palmer to associate, out of fear, with
men like Mr.. Washburn, whom they receive
into their cellars, and dism iss through back
doors. Nobody will deny the fact Of its ap-
plication here, who is not prepared to deny
the existence of the Rev. Mr.. Kallocb, or
his church member, Mr.. Hayes, who peeped
after him, ard black mailed him and then
exposed him. 1t is Mr.. Hayes turn to day.
1t may be Mr.. Kalloch's turn tomorrow
1t is Mr.. Washburns now. 1t may be the
Gordons' turn by and by. But be the turn
whose it may, the system of a barbarous age
and people applied to the control of civilize ed
mankind awakens the iercest resentm ent.-
M en- have put up with the savagest task
masters. They have endured the bloodiest
tyrants without resistance for many years.
They have submitted to the Kings of Prus-
sia-to the Czars-to the House of Austria
and even to the Turks But government
of Meddling gphlanthropists they cannot bear :.
1t resembles the government of vermin m ore
than any human despotism. Individually
vile and odous, but quite insign iicant when
collected, they are pervading, all-de-
vouring. appalling. loathsome to every
sense, and intoerable to the strongest body
and the firmest mind! Thus the govern
ment of the Robespierres, the Marats, the
Washburns, the Hobarts and the Hayes. is
the oppression which maketh the wise ma q
mad! 1t made the Gordons mad when i,
was first applied to them, and what they ut.
tered under its influence was temper-not
treason. Yet was there sense as we'll as
temper if they preferred JEFF. Davis to an
abolition government. As | understand an
abolition government, man might endure it.
A man might endure the government of Mr..
Phillips, for he is a senteman-or of Mr..
Garrison, for whatever may have been
thought Of his sanity his integrity was never
questioned; but the abolition government
which they understood was the Inquisitorial
the ceiar-the sink and cess:pooS COM
mittee which stood before them ordering g
them to put out tiag-and l think there Is
no man of spirit with that in his mino VINO
would not prefer the woltishress OF a DAVIS
to the pedicnlou sness of Washburn!
