The "saints on earth and they all
live in Massachusetts, are thus photo
graphed by the Portsmouth IN. H.
States q. Union. If the picture is not too
trne TO life to suit, hang it up in the
gallery of your admiration:
-s"About every violent, wicked and IL
legal act of our, times, originated IN
Massachusetts. The majority in that
State are race of bedlamities, unfit to
live anywhere except on some isolated
island away from all contact with the
rest of mankind, and if. they could be
either transported to such place, orall
piled upon huge raft, towed out to
mid-ocean and sunk, it would be better
for this country and the world. A more
impracticable, crazy, factious, dictator
ial self-conceited, brainless set, God
never created. Every public act of their
lives proves it. They elevate any and
every sort Of q political and moral stand
ard of conduct and Government, jump
upon it shout GALL aboard" and put of
under full head of steam tizzling and
rattling away, as though the were the
sumn,um bonun, of all creation, and bid
the rest of the world clear the track, or
get run over and ground to powder.
Everybody venturing to oppose them,
or even question their absolute right in
all cases and respects whatsoever, is
cursed as q barbarian, branded as an
Outlaw or guillotined as culprit i'll the
discretion of their bloated sovereign
ty. They were evidently never design
ed to live with, or in proximity to, the
rest of the human race, because their
natures are too turbulent and quarrel
some to permit respectable equili-
brium of society. Their ancestors were
both political and religious fanatics,
always in row with somebody and
never perfect peace with anybody,
not even with themselves. These
creatures of our day have inherited all
the instincts, all the passion and con-
ceits of their fathers and mothers of the
early Puritan history, and actually sue
ceed in keeping our whole country in a
state of demoniac confusion, either by
powers usurped, or by immoral exam
ples which stimulate the dread and
hatred ofall the rest not totally subject
to the debauchment of their influence.
Their original politics was the purest
toryism, which being overcome, appear
ed later in federalism, enemies of the
country in all wars against foreign
foe, and disseminatOrs of sedition
every where. They burned witches
and Quakers, whipped Baptists through
the streets because they did not like
that kind of religion, hunted and per-
secuted every body who ventured the
exercise of the rights of free thought
and expression, got up one or two rebel
lions, nullified their own voluntary
compact with other States, shot down
United States officers, in the public
streets for attempting to execute the
laws enacted by the votes of their own
representatives in Congress, armed
John Brown raiders and sent them howl :
ing and numbering into other jurisdic-
tions, voted to dissolve the Union on
the Texas question, permitted the pub
lie burning of the Constitution of our
and settled life estate upon the trai-
tor who perpetrated the deed, preached
treason and disunion continually down
to 1861, and since that time indulged a
spasm of patriotism which is the rank
est and blOodiest treason ever cOnceiv-
ed and born in earth or hell. They
tried Know Nothingism and Native
Americanism and burnt the Catholic
Convent at Charlestown to crafty their
miserable spirit of intolerance and per-
secution. They constructed the negro
hobby, jumped aboard, beloved for
freedom and universal liberty, inaugu-
rated crusade against the South, con-
cocted and set in motion causeless,
bloody, internal, fratricidal war, broke
up the Union, turned one-half of the
country into On organized hell" with
powers of expansion over the other half,
and now rejoice in the success of their
diabolical schemes.
