The Legislature of Massachusetts de-
clares that the President has insulted
cher honored representative" This is
the first intimation we have had that it
was possible to insult Charles SUMNER
We knew he might be kicked, BEATEN
cutled and even spltten upon, but We
did not know that it was possible to m
suit him. He viii whine like whip
ped child and go round the world show
ing his sores, but he has never SHOWN
any evidence that he knew how a nan
feels when really insulted. But we pre-
sumo that il is all right for Sumner To
insult the President, all right to declare
that he send" Whitewashing' messages
to Congress right TO intimate that
he ought 10 be beheaded-thesef ulni-
nations are all right. because they come
from the member sof an immaculate and
holy party which cmbodies all the Wiz
tue, all the morality and all the reli-
gion Of the country. But woe unto
any one who insinuates That these Abo-
lition DisuniOnists are not the very ac-
nae OF all that is great and patriotic
But if Massachusetts feels insultcd, why
don't she seeede. IL will not be the
first time. DO let her seeede. We
should be rejoiced to have her raise the
Goldfish FLAG over Fanueil Hall. There
are some good and true men in her Dor
eers. but we haze room for those pa
triots in New York, and would welcome
chem with pleasure among Us. y 18th
Inc patriotic element cat OF her borders,
we could then turn her over as q recep-
tacle for AbolitiOnists, DIsun9nlsts,
free nigpers. free lovers, &C., De, and
ali the uneasy. discontented spirits, who

verting this square into public park has
been agitated at different times, since the FIRE
of 1861. Two weeks ago the Committee of
Ways and Means in our City Council recon-
mended the appointment of n Committee, to
confer with the lotholders, and ascertain what
amount would be required to purchase the
property. Such Committee was appointed,
and on Thursday night last q report was made
whether official or informal, we do not now
rememberl that the lots are valued at about
$16T 900, but that it would probably take
three or four times that amount to purchase
them. .i...,....s, -, ..'' ''
This being the case, we may take it for

not be seriously entertained An open park,
covering the entire square, would, in by

sirable than the arcade, with On interior gar
