In order to 5 tuity to this state of things, and to fasten the yo! of this cealition permanently on the people of Meseachusetts, a plot was laia to revola tionize the Commonwealth by subverting the con- stitution, and substituting a minority government in its place, in virtue of which Jess than one-third of the people were to chooge more than a mojority of the considerable number of democrats, joined in de- nouncing it.

At any rate, that there was no free soflism’in the new constitation is sufficiently attested by the declafa- tion in Faneuil Hull of the president of the con- vention, ‘that it mainly reflected the views of the ray a 6 th United States for this dis- i» Under these circumstances, the ignominious de- feat ‘of the constitution would the natural course of things, have occasioned the annihilation of the free noil party, as a separate organization. But asthe passage of the fugitive slave law in 1850 re- coneegnenoe of the voluutary alptin by Onion nce of the voluni for- Dia of @ free constitution; so the wanton repeal of the Missouri compromise, during the session of Congress, has agsin givea it vi- tality. Inasmuch, too, as the entire whig party of the ‘non-slaveholdintg states has gone as one man Sgainst this iniquitous measure—while all the sup- Pec Wich it bas received in those States has been democrate—the free soil leaders have been obliged for the moment to desert their late allies, (whose name they were but recently so anxious to wear,) and, in reference to the great question of the day, bave been thrown into union with whigs. But we place uo eee on their oo-opera- tion, It is not likely, in the altered state of afiaics, that the bargains of the two Pets preceding the last will be made over again; though thy mi; Fe be £0 repeated without greater sacrifice of principle than was required to make them at. first. But we deem all unfon unsafe for any parpose with men fresh from lest year’s attempt to prostrate the con- stitution; certainly tilsome satisfactory pledge is afforded that the Policy in which that attempt had its origin and the coalition by which it waa to be carried into effect are forever abandoned. Have we any such pledge? Far from it. If any- thing is to be gathered of the principles of the new movement from the language of its leaders, it is that sopxtitutions are what the individual chooses to think them. We are to find the meaning of the constitution of the United States—not in the au- thoritative exposition of the judicial tribunal created by it—but in the notion of every man and woman in the community. Any other nine men will have tas much trie to interpret the constitution as lhe Supreme ut, and every individaal in the treet a# much as the nine. Jt ia unnecessary to say, that however good free soiliem this may be, it is uot tne constitutional doc- trine for which any responsible Barty in Massachu- setts bas hitherto contended, even when, fora party object, it was broached by General Jackson, On the score of danger to the country, we conceive that there is far more to feared from it, than from the harmless fa- naticiem which made a bonfire of the constitation at Framipgbam on the Fourth of July. In fact, it required but little forecast to perceive at an early day of the past season that the worst effect of the unrighteous repeal of the Missouri compromise would be to accredit at the North most latitudinarian and dangerous opinions, and that under cover of the just abhorrence of that measure, unanimously felt by the whig party and a ing of thedemocratic party in the free States, ere was no little reason to fear that old land- marks wonld be broken down, and countenance given to principles which sim, with little disguise, at the separation of the States. In reference to any valuable influence to be exercised by the non- slaveholding States, either in or out of gress, in checking the extension of slavery, such influence is irretrievably sacrificed from the moment the lead is abandoned by the friends of the constitation to — who go to the extreme of denying its obliga- ns.
