free and the home oG the 6raue," Sabm1 to be under the dictatOR of slaUe-holdiag POtScyg These and other questions of like import may now be asked with great rroprety, and it is with the most paiHial and anxious soil itudc that we driven by the present posture of the times 70 the consideration ot them.

 There that tn the character of ihc people qf New England which bears them above all opposition to heir moral progress. The same unyieIding honesty, the tenacy of purpose, the same spirit of enter prisc, and the same unconquered perseverance, which were emmently conspicuous in the old puritan char acter, are not quite txtnguisEed m the men of this age; and it is believed, that when the views of the hOt-headcd politicians who have now obtained the ascendcncy fully disclosed, in their hostility to northern interests and in their efforts repress the energies and to cripple the resources of New-Eug- land 1; the same spirit ofmoderate but unvieldng firm ness which has characterised her population in times of the deepest perpIexity and of imminent danger, will be found not have iorsaken the present gene ration.

It is by an undivided exhibition of her moral energies, well of her natural resources, that NewEngIand is to resist the diversity with which she is threatened Our duty requires that we should select our wises and best men for the National Coun- cils that whatever danger may arise which shall threaten our interests, we may have sentines upon the watchtower who may give the warning, and faithful soldiers in the field to maintain rights when the enemy comeh in like a flood. All party distinctions which have hitherto divided us should be forgotten, that may be prepared to put forth an united exerton for the preservation of those great principles of national policy which have been cherished as all-impor!ant in New England.
