embnrraea thc cxisling adiulnlatrntion.
TIicbo pcstifcrous nnd uupatriotic
nesoclations cxiatcd nl tho vory begin
ning, in the Coutlnonlal Congrcss, in
froasing and oggrnvatlng tho hcavy
and multipllcd burdona undor which
"Washington wns prosccuting tho war
against Grcat Britain. Tho "Conwny
Cabal" was ono of tho infanioua inci
donla of tho Atnorlcan llovolution.
Again, a body of politicnl malcon
tonts, callcd tho "Hartford Convcn
tton," mot in tho capitnl of Connecti
cut in Dcccmber, 1814. Ita purpoao
was to antagonizo and embarrnss tho
Govcrnmcnt, then ongngcd in its sec
oud war with Grcat liritain. Of tho
twenty-flvo dclogatcs to this convcn
tion Massachusetts, singularly cnough,
Ecnt twclvo, including its president,
Gcorgo Cabot. Tho Fcdcralists of
Massachusetts wcro opposed to the war
wilh England and dcnouuced it in tho
ternis thnt nrc now employod by
their Bucccsaors in condemning the war
in whlch tho governinont haa boon in
volvod during tho yoar past, and is nt
preaont ongaged. Tho war of 18112
was "cruel, wanton, senseless and
wicked." MassachusoUs rcfused to
voto thanks for naval victorice, bccauso
thoy wero won in a contest prosecuted in
amnnncr "indicating thnt conquest and
ambition aro its rcal raotivcs." Tho
Stato was really diagruntlcd becauso
the United States government had dc
clined to pay tho expcnaos of its do
fenco, owing to the fnct that Massachu
setts had rcfused to placo ita mililia
undor tho control of tho Federal nu
thority. It declnred that the war,
which it exhnuatcd tho English lnu
gungo in anathcniatising, was "carried
on in tho worst possiblc mannor, form
ing a union of wickednoss and wenk
ness which defles, forn parallcl, tho
annals of the world." AU this, and
much moro. Rend the denunciations
of tho apcakere at tho rccent mecting
in Boston of the "Anti-Iraporialistic
Lengue," and a very nccurate idea of
what thcir predeccssors wcro saying,
somo three generations back, will bo
obtained.
The dolcgatea to tho "Hartford" Con
vention" met and remained in secrct
eession for three weoks. It issued an
nddress, donying "any present inlon
tion to dissolvo tho Union," but con
templntcd that ovent if tho general gov
ernment was not moro rcgardful of
the whims and crotchets of tho dele
gatea and tho peoplo thoy reprcsonted.
Tho convention was slrongly suspect
ed of treason, but its doings nnd Hb
maledictions were generally regardcd
with Bomething of tho contempt that
today altachcs to tho tnoulhings of
Hoar, Boutwell and their confederates.
Jackson's victory at Now Orleans came
to aubmorgo theso men nnd thcir proc
lamationB in tho flood of patriotic en
thusiaBm that swopt ovor tho laud.
In tho civil war tho consplracies of
nortborn copporheatls, up to tho cultni
natiug declarationa of tho Domocratic
convention at Chicago, in 1804, doclar
ing the war, then on tho threshold of
successful and glorious conclusion, a
failure, nnd domanding that imraediatc
stops bo taken to ond it, wcro but rcpe
titiona, in epirit and purpoao, on a vast
ly largor scalo, of tho "Conwny Cabal"
of 1778, of tho "Hartford Convention"
of 1814-1G, and theao all havo their lc
gilimatoBUCcessors in tho wholly illcgiti
mato and unpatriotic and somi-trea-aonablo
yawpings and doings of tho
leadera of anti-imporialistic or nnti-ox-pansioniBl
nssociations, by whatovcr
names thoy are known. In work of
this kind MasBachuaotts naturally nnd
historically furniahos tho loadors.
From Another's Vlowpoint,
Admirals, gonerals, prlvatcs, corrcs
pondents, politicians nnd all-round ob
servors havo given their opiniona or
their impresaiona of tho Filipinos
llov. Francls B. Dohorty, tho Pauliat

In 1700 our importe of morchandise

Uut in 1818 tho figurea were: Imports,
