General Elajr and Henry Wilson.

Thus speaks the New York CORES
pendent of the Boston Courier, a Dem.
ocratic paper, edited by the Hon. Geo.
Luut, With marked ability:
"Gcn. Frank Blair's election to the
Senate OF the United States is in singu,
lar contrast with the contemporaneous
return Of Henry Wilson to that august
az chamber, Blair is elected hy Il
Southern State to oppose the aggrcs-
sioHs OF an evident military cncroach.
mcnt upon The liberties Of the people
he comes from a State comparatively
new TO The Constitution Of the country,
while Massachusetts sends the most de.
based tool it was possible to find in I'LL
her limits to support end aid those adj
yances Of d~cspotism. And yet the Old
Bay State has a history Of great glory
in the annals of resistance to mvGsions
Of rights that were harmless compared
to those invasions against which that
fearless men of Missouri will set tho
yigor of his life. The coincidence is
singular, but to which section is it fiat.
tcring?
"Ihc State that was in 1861 abso
IulcIy on the side of the rebellion, but
kept in the Union by force Of arms,
sends champion to the National Coun
ellis, in behalf Of The old Constitution
IF The land, and Massachusetts, the
Minerva Of the Republic, clothes with
power n pitiful politician, g~llstening
with the tar and feathers put upon him
by Mr.. General Black to
keep the usurperto his ends.
We here in New York are lost in
nmazcmcnt at the action Of your Legi8-
%lature, and cannot fathom the mystery
of it's abascment. However, Wilson
will oppose Blair by low tricks, and
help to gise him that supreme position
whore his patriotic efforts may tend to
make him either 9 martyr or the living
leader Of n lranchised people.

courage and vast energy"
