himself; and that Grants private orders to
him obliged him to act more vigorously than
he felt disposed to act on his own account. Yet

THE LAST RADICAL INFAMY.

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, has intre.
duced joint resolution in Congress which sets
out by declaring that the election in Alabama
to ratify the new Constitution was defeated,
tkreua6 fraud and the threatsof white dislran-
dhised employers to discharge their black EN-.
4 poes in case the latter voted to ratify; and
|thea4 he resolution winds up by insisting that
Congress shall declare the election to have
been carried in favor Of ratification, and that
Alabama be admitted as Reconstructed State
undec that Constitution Axhicl1 inI the outset,
the same. resolution declares to have been re.
iected Was there, ever proposed q more
brazen, Internal act of hypocrisy and fraud,
villainy and outraged But think Of d Senator
from Massachusetts, alleging "a a.reason why
an election should be, not invalidated. but re.
versed, because Of the threats Of disfranchsed
employers to discharge any in their employ
who should vote against their interests and
wishes! Why, for years past in Massachu-
sets, it has been the system. Of the large fac
tory owners to compel their tens of thousands
of operatives to vote the very ballots which
their overseers or appointed agents placed into
the hands of the working men for thatpurpose,
with the alternative, in case of the refusal of
any operative to vote as his employer babe
him. of Immediate discharge from employment
And the penalty stopped not at this: the dis
charged freeman was at once tabooed from
employment in every factory throughout New
England, by y peculiar combination and organ
ization of the large proprietors, who take care
to crush out. by summary means, any spark of
or independence, or freedom If po-
litical sentiment or action in any person under
their employ. The black slaves Of the South
were never subjected to so severe bodily
servitude as are the white factory serfs OF New
England, and never were they at all subjected
to the humiliating. degrading, heartcankering
slavery of mind which the white operatives in
the factories Of Massachusetts, and Of all New
England are made to suffer and continually
endure. IL what Senator Wilson asserts rela
hive to the Alabama election be- true-and we
may be sure it is ialse,-and for that cause the
election should be reversed, and the same rule
'hould be made to apply TO Massachusetts,,
