Senator Boutwell, has not lessened his
unpopuiarity 10 Massachusetts by his par.
tisau attack upon Senator Bayard. The
Boston Globe lectures him in this sensible
way: 'Nen of plain common sense know
that Mr.. Bayard, Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Thur
man, and other Democratic leaders of the
north are not enemies of the union, and
would never be allies if anybody plotted
against the government; and they do not
believe that Mr. Gordon, Mr.. Withers.
and ether Democratic leaders of the south
are conspirators against the life of the
nation We have advanced since 1861.
Slavery is dead. and there is hardly a man
of prominence, north or south, who does
not rejoice at it. There are few who have
any motive for hostility to the union, and
there is no evidence that they entertain it.
The wild rant of Dir. Boutwell, was utterly
without reason"
