There is one very small virtue inthe mer
CHESS Massachusetts hounds. They are so
bigoted and intolerant that, eonceIving one
of their own number to be wrong, they
turn upon him and seek to destroy him.
So now the whole pack turn upon Charles
Sumner because he can see beyond them.
The same spirit sent Roger Williams away
into the wilderness, and strung up poor
women as witches That sentiment of
intolerance and meanness has always char
acterized Massachusetts,, and made MANY
men almost regret their New England ma
tivity, despite its proud record for sturdy
pluck, indomitable purpose, and high in
telligenee. But time makes all things
even, and it will require but very little Of
it for all to recognize the purity of pur-
pose and noble generosity of Mr.. Sumner
as representative of manly Northern
sentiment Portland, tINe.,) Argus.

The remarkable doctrines of the Presi-
dent s message on the subject of internal
improvements are already beginning to
bear their natural and inevitable fruit
Illinois is setting up clamor because her
pet internal Improvement has been left out
in the cold. She insists, and with perfect
reason, that the Illinois & Mississippi
Canal has as valid a claim upon Executive
and Congressional beneyolence and Treas
ury aid as any other canal going; and she
invites paternal Government to shell out
the $I2, 4S0, 9l0 needed to carry this great
public work through to completion. Why
not? Isn't every section, and State, and
district, and free born, tax paying citizen,
as good as every other? There mustn't be
any favoritism In this business. If Uncle
Sam puts his hand in his pocket for one
local enterprise, he must do the same BY
the next and the next, and the next; i
must be share and share alike, all arount

rUEDTNC PROTEST.

Under the name of a protest against the
funding bill passed on Saturday, there was
Yesterday presented to the Senate an argu-
ment in favor of some other mode OF pay
inc the Indebtedness of the State. We
take it for ganted that the protestants are
entirely sincere in the course they have
pursued, but it is extremely unfortunate for
them that some one of them did not intro
duce and urge the passage of such bill as
they now by way of protest advocate. Ii
their plan would have saved SO many mil
lions of dollars which ''they do not think
it lust to take from the people"
the people will perhaps wish to know why
they did not put their plan into the shape
of a bill and press lis passage. The fund
ing proposition has been constantly talked
about. written about and spoken about
Quite number of bills on the subject have
been introduced in each House, but never,
we believe, by any Of the protestants, ex
cept when Mr.. Smithson introduced nj:
sinking fund proposition, in lieu of the Sen
ate bill when it was on its third reading, ant
that was ruled out of order by the Senate
This looks little like what the Law books
would call "gross negligence" especially
as the protestauts "are opposed to repudls
ton ia any form or shape, and were willin
and ready TO assist in providing a sinkin
fund for the payment of the past due debt
and funds to pay the future interest on tn
outstanding State debt, or to assist in th
passage of any measure that would q
equal and exact justice to both the bond
holder and taxpayer.
Perhaps the holders of our past due bond
and coupons, whom these prOtestants desiI
to postpone for sixteen years, may nc
doubt the sincerity of this language. w
can not. Il is only mistake of judgmen
With all due respec5, the Protesf, as pre-
test, is rather ''thin."
