Bosros, Mass, March 15.-John j.
ingalls, sailed jast night from this port on
board the coast steamer Dorchester for Bal
timore. after having made a brief visit to
the scenes of his childhood and to his
parents, who reside in West Roxbury.
Before leaving he spoke freely to re-
porter concerning New England's policy
towards the West and South in the most
caustic terms.
"The Republicans of New England. he
said.'" may paste this in their hats: II the
next Republican Convention nominates
monopolist and the platform contains a
declaration against free coinage. unless
soma remarkable change occurs In public
opiuion, l doubt IL they will carry two
States west OF the Allegheny Mountains.
Again he SAYS 1.-The very pressure OF
economic questions has forced combin-
alton between the Western States and those
of the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys. those
OF the Gulf and the Southeastern ATTAIN
tic States; between the great grain and cot
ton producers. a. against the manufacture
ing aud commercial interests OF the East.
This combination has been forced by the
greed and grasping characteristics OF the
Eastern capitalists.
"The New England people do not UNDER
stand either the disposition or the temper
Of the Western people, and have not under
stood them from the beginning. The
Yankee idea seems to be to treat the demands
OF the West with derision and contempt
The people there have become tired of being
ridiculed and of having their favorite
measures Of legislation overridden, and are
determined to secure for themselves the
privileges which 1t has been the custom Of the
East to set aside for itself. This is the back
bone OF the Alliance movement, and among
the last things its leaders would be likely to
harken to would be the warnings from the
moneyed interests of the New England
States.
"A crisis Is threatened and it will take
tine combined wisdom of the country to
avert it. BY this crisis . line Of separation
between the East and the. West will be
drawn, and it will be precipitated unless
and intolerant criticism which prevails
against Western men and measures. The
consequences OF such crisis cannot be pre-
dicted. but they will be momentous. The
West and South want revision and read
justmert of the tariff, they want the free
coinage OF silver. they want q series OF
cultural interests. and every word Of de-
rision sent forth from New England does
not tend to increase their confidence in their
Yankee fellow-countrymen.

Where would New England then be? There

want large increase in the circulating
medium. and all that New England may do
to the contrary cannot change this deter

demands. but they will submit no longer.
