Boston, and therefore Massachusetts,, has Just
received testimonial of good character from the
managers Of the Vienna Exposition, but Massa- |
chusetts did not send thither a specimen Of her
politics The address Of the ''lIamillon Hall Com
mittec," ex-AttorneY- General Hoar chairman,
would have been good article 70 exhibit, but,
having only just now appeared, was Of course pro-
duced tribe too late. It does not make use Of
Websters celebrated aPOstrUphe, but In effect ita

maFkable frank avOwal, is in imminent danger Of
going over, body and soul, to Mephistopheles.--

he may prefer. Personal ambition is his motive;
intrigue, bribery, threats and appeal to all that

In the CATALOGUES Of means which are thas -bcing
employed to promote ths umscrhpulous personal
ambition of one man, it is not strange, perhaps,
that Federal Official influence, and the sunshine OF
President Grants favor, are neither named nor
limited at. For the libellants are themselves Ad-
minStTaton, and some of them possibly even third
term men; and though they must feel bitterly
Wrongcd by the alliance between the man of thciE
choice and the man whom they paint in the black,
est coors at their command, the party chains an
strong that not note of their biscOnteht at thii
alliance is uttered, ana it is still Question, mot
withstanding the Infamous character given to the
