notices over four lines.
'THE RIGHTS OF MAN. The St. Girls.
pin Society, in Massachusetts, is a powerful
organization, which controls absolutely tn,
shoemaking business of that State. Almos
all these sons OF St. Crspin are vehement as
serters OF human rights They cIamor for the
extension of our territory in order that the resi-
OF mankind may enjoy freedom under our flag.
They have raved and wept in their time on &C.
count CT the existence of the institution oi
slavery, and denounced those who refused 10
let the negro enjoy his own earnings. They
are, IN TACT emlnently progressive and philan.
throplo. They havo, however, one peculiarity!
When their Own interests are involved thew
take very worldly minded view of things.
When they owned negroes they waited until
they sold them before they began to teach us
our duty towards our black brethren. They
swore by Webster and the Constitution until
they found 1t more profitable to advocate the
higher law They thought that every man
vas bound to do battle for the Union, and i'm
ported more foreigners to fill Massachusetts
regiments with than all the rest of the
New England States together
And now they insist that the South shall not
only recognize the political equality OF the ne
gro, but demand the enactment of the most
stringent laws to protect him against any and
every attempt to modest or int;mida te him in
any conceivable way. But no shoe maker in
Massachusetts is allowed by these progressive
reformers to work or any OTHER terms than the
majority Of the Society of st. Crispiu may
choose to prescribe Freedom of action they
approve OF elsewhere. but no Individual of the
craft must dispute their SO vereign will in Mas
sachusetts. The rights of man and the equality
of races, and 'exact' justice to all, they warm.
ly uphold IN general way; but they have
pretty much made up their minds that China
men shall not work in shoe factories in that
State, \ Mr. Sampson has lately hired in
San francisco some seventy five Cinnamon,
who arrived at his factory, in the town ofNorth
Adams, few days ago. They are quiet and
peaceable, and are said to be learning the differ
ant branches Of shoemaking with wonderful
uuickness. But alas for the rights OF man! Alas
Tor human brotherhoodl These luckless China
men, on the free aud enlig htened soil OF Massa-
chusetts, are prisoners IN Mr. Sampson factory.
A correspondent in North Adams tells how they
We received there. "As soon as the blue Shirts
lonp cues and queer faces were seen, the air
was filled with boots and all kinds of tauutlng
shouts The Chinese were quite lmperturba,,
hJe and did not even mind the appelIations OF
wrath yelled into their cars from the Wayslde:
An ample police force was in attendance, and
the new company marched I'm column
slowly through the streets to Mr. Sampson 8
shon' We also learn that the threats which
are made "promise all the enormltles OF Shet-
feld:" that "the feeling Of bitterness aud an
GER among the white population daily increases,
and il is not considered safe to allow the Chi,
nese to 20 abroad without protection, and
that 'Mr. Sampson thinks 1t necessary TO
guard bis buildings alter n1ghttal - prevent
incendarism. : &
Massachusetts may be relied on to keep up tne
renutation of the Statefo progressive humanl'
tarianism. Sumner Is thuuderlng aga'ns! tne
Southern aristocrats who decline TO accept the
HACKS a. social EQUALS and companions. Banks
is sternIy insisting that we shall vlndcate tno
cause OF the swarthy Cubans. Butler demands
the punishment of Georgia because her Legls-,
latnre declined to receive some Illegally elected
hlack men. And all Massachusetts would as
semble in mass meeting to morrow to protest
against the outrages peTpetrated on Chlnamel
