' Where is Massachusetts ? " '
THaV forgot ton old accident, John Tyler,
when delivering hi inaugural address to tho
Old Gentlemen s Convention at Washington last
winter, in a simulated fervor ot patriotic rebuke,
crieoVout. Where is Massachusetts?" The
old By State bad not then taken seats in the
Peace Congress. She had no faith in the John
Tyler method of curing the diseases of the
country, and she made no haste to go down
to the Potomac at the invitation of Virgin
ia. She-saw, at thatJtime, through tho trans
parent patriotism of Virginia, and beheld tho
demon of Treason lurking behind, ready to
strike at the Government. She had little faith
in a Peace Congress, less in Virginia, and least
ot till in John Tyler.
It has been but a few woeks since the accident
propounded his inquiry. In tho meantime, tho
deliberations of his Congress amounted to noth
ing except to gain time for the Rebels. John
Tyler very Boon threw off the mask which so
poorly concealed his real purposes, and went
home to Virginia, spouting his devilish treason
at every cross road. The Government which
had been quieting itself with the delusive hope
that the traiiors were becoming sick of their
treason, and anxiously looking for some pretext
to return to their allegiance, at last woke up to
a full comprehension of the danger that beset
the Union. They saw that the tra'tors had only
been gathering their eticngth for a sudden and
desperate spring at the very heart of the Nation.
The l.yul States were instantly called to arms.
Yhy.tiiu Wii" called upon for her tinofci of troops.
harUl .ick in the teeth of the Government
an ordinance ol secession. Massachusetts) was
litviteJ to iliis new Pence Congress, and as the
lightning on its swilt wings bore the word il to
arms " through her borders, her sons sprang to
the post of danger. She did not hesitate a mo
ment?. Her troops were at once in motion. Her
regiments were pushed through New York and
Pennsylvania before those great States had fully
comprehended the necessity for immediate ac
tion. She left a few of her own dead in Balti
more, but the cry was, " forward," and her
gallant soldiers pressed on to the Capital. She
Tiot only opened the way to Washington, but
he is to-day keeping it open, and if Virginia is
foiled in her mad scheme of destroying the Fed
eral Metropolis, the result will bo largely due
to the alacrity with which the Bay State re
sponded to the call of the Administration.
' Where is Massachusetts? ' She is under
tho Flag, in the front rank, bearing aloft that
glorious symbol, and keeping step to the music
of the Union. And where is Virginia? Aye,
John Tyler, where is Virgiaia ? She has east
her lot with traitors, and clothed herself in the
garment of rebellion, a garment that will one
day burn with the fire of her torment ; and she
may yet ask Massachusetts to save her from the
flames of tho pit into which she is plunging.
The time limited in the President's procla
raation for the traitors to disperse and go qui
etly about their ordinary business, is nearly up,
but they have not yet dispersed, and will not.
The Government has got a summer's work on
its hands. It has got to put down this treason.
The jurisdiction of the United States doesn't
stop at tho Potomac, lc reaohes to the Gulf
of Mexico. Its Flag must be carried there.
It must bo loft flying from every eminence be
tween New Jersey and New Orleans, and not
onough traitors left t tear it down or insult it.
The Government must now make thorough
work of putting down rebellion. Its troops
face the South. Let them have tho word
" Forward ! " as soon as possible, and let not
a finl halt be called, until the stars and stripes
are flying over the domes of every Southern
capi'ol.
Maryland is evidently coming to her senses.
She has found out that she is on the road to
Washington. Sho has also found out that
some hundreds of thousands of Northern troops
are going South. And many of them, never
having seen Maryland, ate desirous of taking
that Stato in their way, and are particularly
anxious to go through Baltimore, arid see the
curiosities of that mob-ruled city. They would
be willing to go a considerable distance out of
their way to see the City, but not a single inch
to avoid it. So the Legislature has kindly and
considerately, and in an amiable frame of
mind, voted that United States troops can go
through Maryland, on their way to Washington;
This ia exceedingly thoughtful of he Legislai
ture ; and after voting that lightning may strike
in that titate, if it is atir .ct d that wav, they
m iy consider tho bminess of the session com
pleted, and at once adjourn.
GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN,
The majesty of the Government, as represen
ted at tho National Capital, hedged about by
none of the exterior, imposing stato of a royal
supremacy, tho main spring of a silent ma
chinery, has, nevertheless, without the exhi
bition of its material forces, been a mere ab
straction, a figure of speech, a nothingness in
the eyes of Jeff Davis and his confederates.
( Confederates ! apropos name that ! We apply
it often to thieves and burglars.) They have
not had a " realizing sense " of any such mere
symbol. They have Bnapped their fingers at it.
Messages and proclamations, disseminated by
the peaceful art of printing, have been scorned
by those of their number who could read, or
received with roars of laughter. ' Ordinances
they have no regard for, unless they comb out
of the right foundry, and the Flag of the
Union has become a mere rag to bo torn into
pieces, or trampled under foot. It remains to
be seen whether tbey will have any more respect
for the majesty of the people, when they take
the pains to visit them personally, and in a
body, with petitions for peace susponded from
tho points of seventy-five thousand bayonets
and whether they will rejoin to tho roar of
cannon with roars of laughter f We would
not be presumptuous where nothing has been
achieved, but we are a little hopeful in this re
spect. They have hitherto monopolized the
talk about fighting, and still they talk, of guns
and drums and wounds Heaven save the mark !
Tho Southern atmosphere is hot and tainted
ieat lightning flashes the hurricane roars ;
but there is a storm gathering in the North ;
the silent clouds are collecting about the lull
tops ; their mighty masses come together in the
free air.
" We never did, like m ilesUtion view
Of the enchafed elements."
The North is not fruitful in sudden tempests,
but it has immense reservoirs, where they col
lect, and sometimes come down with trans
cending power. Sjme process of the kind is
going on. We begin to realize in its imposing
lorcc " the soldiarity of the peoples." Our
plain Republican Government will bo found,
unless we are deceived greatly in such hopelul
auguries, to have some attributes of strength,
when the free iMorth, so long reticent, shall ut
iust upeuk forth with one voice yea, and that
a mighty voice.

The London Times, in an editorial, reiterated

President Lincoln may not bo carried out into

One of its articles concludes as follows :
" We would rather hope that the good seuso of
Americans and the peaceful counsels of this
country may bring about a reconciliation be
fore the dispute has been too far envenomed. As
long as the two sections ot the Union refrain
from hostilities, it would be the bight of arro
gance and folly to' interfere, but when the soil
and sea are likely to be stained wiili blood, for
eign natio s may surely remonstrate in the
