reference TO Boston:
"Why do YOU allow men unacquain-
ted withsyour intercre;to Ok you
Why do you pay without getting your
equivalent in the satisfaction of spend
ing your own money! Why do you
allow the dyspeptic Radicalsm of Bos-
ton to tell you what to drink, ond
when, and howsyou must behave on
Sunday? GAppIause.] The solution
of these questions lies in tho fact that
Boston Jules by her ideas, which ars
cr1,stalized into laws Combining the
mystigogus with the demagogue, Bos-
ton ekes out, with the fox's cunning,
what she lacks in numerical and COM
mercial strength and humane and
Christian charity. Are not the notions
of Wendell Phillips the law to Con,
gress2 Is not Garrison received in
England as the cxpounder of Am sri
can institutions? Do not her satrups
swing their batons over tho Suuth
Arc not her Senators the law-givors to
New York and to Georgia? Why2
Because she assumes much. She be-
lives, darcs, and does. Every Boston
Radical believes himself annolnted Of
the Lord. He derogates from you
when he arrogates TO himself Tbs

came to regulate your elections from

honors the President, it,secms. Not
because sho cares to make display tor
Johuson or the Executive, Tennessee,
or the Union, but because tho display
honors Boston. That's So and ap.

cordance with this idea, recently pray.
