whereas, the offense of secession is OF
long standing, and worn threadbare
by Indifferent party orators and party
newspaper hacks; while this new
species of treason against Massachu-
sets, which is America, is fresh-in
truth, just upon the brink of break
ing out, and has hardly yet made a
respectable Roadway. / learn from a
source entitled to the fullest credit
that what l quote below is from the
pen of Speaker Blaine, although COM
municated to a Maine newspaper by
its regular correspondent. Western
men of Radical pr~Oclivities, who have
committed themselves against New
England interests in this regard, may
see in the view thus presented by the

Blaine says of the new ''0rgGnized
opposition to American interests, as
he calls the action of the Western
members upon the tariff bill now be-
fore the House:
Next to the heresy of secession,
which cost the Republic such a stu.
pendous expenditure of blood anC
treasure, Justly may be regarded the
rampant notions OF the free traders
What potentially pushed secession
into a terrible reality with the Ameri
can people was the substantial encOur
agemPnt which it received from Francs
and England, the two leading manu-
featuring nations of Europe-eDcour
agement inspired by the wish to sup
pIy American markets with the pro
auctions of their skill, labor and CAPT
tai. Hoping the South, through thu
rebellion, would become an immensI
free-trade Confederacy, to receive thei
manufactures and return them at cheal
rates the raw material for their facto
ries, these cations gave just thu
kind of stimulation to the slaveO
Gratis of the South to then
to inaugurate civil war for the dis
memberment of the Union. Tit
war thus produced covered the lanC
with graves and brought upon the
nation an immense debt. To pay the
expenses of the war produced by tht
European monOpOlists and secession
lists, as well as to provide for neces
sary expenses of the Government,
, large tariff revenue is unavoidable
Hoisted thus by their own petard
these foreign capitalists now turn Il
!. the Only alternative left them-Whicf
is to conspire for the overthrow of tht
American policy of incidental pro
lection. The importing interests art
as readily and rapidly concentrated
and organized for the propOgandIsn
of free trade as were the Shareholder
for secession and civil war, Under
the seductive guise of free trade somC
excellent people are deluded anC
misled by the foreign monOpolists

carried away by the plausible notions

the Radical revolution is moving on
