Macon, Wednesday, August 12th. Having just reached this city, it is my purpose to give you a slight foretaste of the grand Conven tion which is now assembling, from all quarters of the State, to commence its silting to-morrow.— Allow me to premise, however, that nothing I can say can furnish your readers any idea of the reality * of the scenes now momentarily enacting before me. They must be seen to be appreciated and fel t « in all their force. On my way hither, from Athens, but one feeling seemed to pervade the people, and it animates and thrills every bosom. In short,nothing can exceed i the enthusiasm which bursts forth in every coun ty and neighborhood, and Georgians have never before witnessed a season so thrilling and soul stirring. Before I had rea hed Monficello, in Jas per county, distant about forty miles from this city I lygan to overtake and pass the delegations from tne various counties, wending their way hither, by every possible conveyance, and combining all class es of citizens —planters, mechanics, laborers, mer chants, doc'ors and lawyers—all uniting in the great struggle to perpetuate American liberty, which is now going on between the people, the yeomany of the land, the genuine democracy, on the one hand, and the spoils men and office hold ers, on the other. As 1 neared the city, the crowd became more and more dense, rendering the road almost impassible in many places, either to persons meeting the vast concourse, or to those desiring to press forward to th° front rank. And when I reached the city*, about 11 o’clock, a. m, the side walks, streets and hotels, were literally a living mass of iiuman beings, composed of the hundreds and thousands of delegates that had already arriv ed, and who were hourly making their advent into • this seat of hospitality, and the higher and nobler feelings of our nature. When a delegation arrives, they are met by the Macon band, under an appropriate officer, the mem bers of which are drawn on a long wagon, above which floats a flag on which is inscribed, WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME.! THRICE WELCOME, TO MACON.* And the delegation is escorted through the city, with their banners unfurled to the breeze, amid the deafening shouts of the multitude, with which they are greeted at every corner of the street, and then they are marched to their quarters, which have been provided on a scale of liberality which o far surpasses the most sanguine anticipations. The delegations are now, while I write, rapidly arriving and are being marched to their quarters. The greatest possible enthusiasm pervades every s bosom —all, all join in the universal joy. Nor do I believe that it is possible for the Van Buren men to resist the almost universal disposition to greet the delegations with a shout; and although so many a have already arrived, and some of them from the remotest parts of the State, every hour, aye, al most quarter of an hour, brings its crowds. Expectation is running high to see those noble sons of Carolina, Preston, Thompson and Legate — to hear, from the»r own lips, their towering elo quence, and witness its powerful effects upon the thousands who will be assembled round the ros trum to-morrow and the succeeding days, during the continuance of the Convention. Should they not be present, to unite with our own distinguished sons, many will be greatly disappointed. For many have flattered themselves that, on this glori ous occasion, they would sip at the purest fount ot Southern, and, probably, American eloquence. In their absence, however, we shall have much to cheer the patriot, and make his long depressed bo som leap fur joy, to meet the many distinguished rons ot our own Georgia, who will be, and are even now here, to mingle in this great and holy cause. Need I say to your readers, that the little lime which has been afforded me to make enquiries with regard to our prospects in Georgia, has been thus employed, and the resu t has been, in every instance, my most sanguine anticipations have been realised, and, in some few, surpassed. All, all bring the most cheering accounts; and the opinion universally prevails, that the freemen of Georgia will cast her vote upon the Farmer of North and that patriot son of Virginia, John Tyler; and this opinion, I confess, is more strongly and forci bly impressed upon my m’ud every day that I min gle among the people. It is not reasonable to suppose that in such a vast concourse, all animated by the same noble and generous zeal for the promotion of a correct administration of the government, any thing could occur among themselves, which could for a mo ment disturb the harmony of the brotherhood, nor has it on this occasion. But it becomes my duty to chronicle one of the most disgraceful transac tions on the part of a few degraded members of the Van Buren party, which has ever signalized the annals of political contests in this or any other country. As the delegations from Columbus and some of the Western counties, were approaching the city this morn in?, at a creek about seventeen miles distant from this city, they found the bridge across the creek partially torn up, and a battery formed of the timbers, behind which were stationed some twenty dastardly Van Buren men, all armed with guns, pistols, dirks, or bowie knives, and who had sworn that the delegations should not pass, unless their standards and banners were lowered. I o this insulting demand, the delegates, about six hundred in number, although warned, boldly replied they would pass with their banners floating in the breeze or perish in the attempt; and when the dastardly puppies found that they could not in timidate the friends of old Tip by their empty bravado and show of fire arras, they meanly skulk ed off, and permitted the delegations to pass un harmed, as soon as the bridge could be repaired. This is no exaggerated account of this disgrace ful affair. I have collected the particulars from gentlemen of the highest character, and most un questionable veracity, who were present and wit nessed the whole transaction. I forbear farther comment, as what I have already said is sufficient to show the extent to which these villains, who 1 planned the assault, are steeped in degradation, and to what extent they would go to arrest this ( great movement of the people. I cannot conclude without giving you some ac- ■ count of the progiess of Reform in Alabama, as it has been communicated to me since my arrival in the city*. A gentleman just from Alabama, informs 1 me that iu the few counties already heard from, there had been nine changes in the Legislators elected last year, from Van Buren to the cause of the people, which wants only three of neutralizing the majority of the spoilsmen in that body at its 1 last session, beside an immense gain in the popu- i lar vote. This is glory enough for this here ofore \ ungenerous daughter of our beloved Georgia.— , Should she throw »ff in Novem' er the collar of the < spoils party, which she has so long and ingloriously worn,lt will be the proudest day in her history. j Until now I have been a silent spectator of the : thrilling scenes which are all the while passing iu ' review before my wi.idow, but I must now go out and contribute my mite to swell the shouts with which the air is continually reverberating. To- \ morrow I will endeavor to furnish you a sketch of the proceedings. Yours, See. J. Gen. Harrison’s Whipping Law. 1 A friend put into our hands last evening a hand- 1 I bill with the above caption, addressed to the Free men, Poor men, and Women of Georgia. We learn that this foul, low, and filthy* piece, was pub lished at the office of the Constitutionalist —though the “ worthy, well-bred, and decent ” editor of that paper, has not so stated —and we suppose the name of the office was not “ intentionally v'ithheld .” Who this scavenger of the party is, we do not know, nor do we desire to know ; for we do not desire to see a man for whom we should feel so much contempt. The writer appears to be fami j liar with the laws of Indiana, (we hope for the honor of the profession that he is not a Lawyer,) and it may be possible that he has learned some , thing of the laws of several other States in the ■ Union, if he has not, we would say to him that it has not been long since, that the Whipping Law was in force in Georgia, and not a half a ceiitury since, they were in force in nearly all the States j in the Union, and is still in force in our sister I State, South Carolina. But what has all this to ;do with Gen. Harrison ? Did he have any power to prevent any such law from passing ? Does the Governor of a Territory of these United States j possess the veto power ? Will this scavenger hunt i up such a law for us ? But we are treating this low, filth}- thing too serious, for it has only to be seen to arouse the indignation of every lover of good order and morals, in this or any other com munity. A decent piece indeed to present to a lady. Editorial Change.— Mr. Wm. Hogan has dis posed of his interest in the Savannah Republican, to Joseph L. Locke, Esq. The Republican will, in future, he conducted by Messrs. Locke & Davis. From the National Intelligencer. The President in the Field. The most remarkable confession which has vet been made of the alarm known to be felt by ihe Administration party is President Van Huron's an swer, just published, (and inserted in our columns to-day,) to a letter inviting him to attend a meet ing of his partizans held a. tiie White Sulphur Springs in Kentucky, on the 11th of July last. When he left the seat of Government, last year to pass four months in his native State, though the visit was unusually long, aud though he rather o - tentatiously let it be known that he was travelling as the President if a party, his friends argued that the necessity of recreation a,ter sevete official toil was an adequate motive fore jour.iey, and objected to any other explanation of it as the off spring of a censorious spirit. The letter to which we have referred admits of no such apology ; un less, indeed, the distinguished writer expected his health to be benefited by“ the excitementof com position.” The letter is, plainly, an electioneer ing document; elaborate, and embodying the ad captandum topics of the political sect of which he is the head. Phe energy (not to use a stronger term) of the dictation, when compared with the courtly moderation which has hit’ rto chaiacter izea Mr. Van Buren’s compositions, indicates the pressure of his circums nces Indeed, this pres sure must be severe when a gentleman of his tact and prudence is driven to the expedient of descend- ‘ ing from the Presidental chair into the political arena to fight in the ranks. It will perhaps have the expired effect of rallying “ the parly ;” ' but, unless we greatly mistake the temper of the ; American People, the converts whom it makes wdl be. like those made byh : ' visit to New York, ( against him instead of in his favor. * There is somethingamusing in the naivete, with ‘ wtichtheF sident tells his cor :spondents that 1 he pins his faith on the celebrated Kentucky and 1 Virginia Resolutions. These Resolutions, having 1 for their object tae restriction of the powers of the ( General Government, within given limits, are * gravely declared by a President, who practically * attracts to his own office all the powers, defined r and undefined, of the General Government, to be 1 in his own opinion, “ like the original language of the Bible in matters of religion,’’ &c. Though his own Administration has been one of constant war fare on principles which lie at the foundation of t those celebrated Resolutions, he denounces in no g measured termsthe Federalists for having opposed t them. “ While,” be says, “ even the name of the proud and powerful party which opposed them has come to be considered a term es reproach, if np-f --of ignominy and insult, ihe principles of the Ken-* tucky Resolutions, in profession -if not in f*ct, now enter into thfe creed of every political sect r and the once-derided name borne by tneir apostles and advocates is considered an essential passport to popularity and success.” The philosophy of some of the President’s Privy Counsellors must have been tried not a little when they read this passage. Senator Wall, who has proudly declared on the floor of the Senate that he had adhered to the Federal party as long as Mere was any of it leitin his State, and who we sup pose, when the Federal party was extinct, took up with Mr. Von Buren’s party as the next best thing, is now told by his new leader that the name of Federalist, is one of “ ignominy. But he is in duty bound to think so too, and so are Messrs. Buchanan, Williams, Howard, Hubbard, W ilkins, and a host of other “ proud and powerful” Federal opponents of the Resolutions of Virginia and Ken tucky, and the Federal supporters of the present Democratic Administration. Ihe President! rank ly tells us why he calls his Administration “ dem ocratic.” “ The once derided name” of Demo crat. he says, “ is considered an essential passport to popularity and success .” We had guessed as much before. _ The President’s letter is dated on the Fourth oi July, the dry on which he signed the Sub-Trea sury bill. The terms in which he introduces his comments on this measure are so remarkable that we subjoin them, italicising those passages to which we particuly desire to call the attention of our readers. “lam most happy to inform you, gentlemen, that I have this day signed the bill for the estab lishment of an Independent 1 reasmy, a measure of which you speak in decided commendation. By this measure, the management of an important branch of our national concerns, after a departure of nearly half a century, will be brought back to the letter, as well as the obvious spirit of the Con stitution. The system now superseded was in fact one of those early measures devised by the friends and advocates of privileged orders for the purpose of perverting the Government from its pure princi ples and legitimate objects, vesting all power in the hands of a few, and enabling them to profit at the expense of the many.” “ The system now superseded ” was the depos iting of the public money in banks; a system which, the President asserts, is against the “ ob vious spirit and intention of the Constitution;” but which, nevertheless, was acted on from the very beginning of the Government, till July 4, 1840 — “nearly half a century.” In other words, the present Chief Magistrate of the United States de liberately tells his countrymen that all his prede cessors in his high office, Washington, J. Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, J. Q. Adams, and Jackson, in combination with the Legislative and Judiciary Departments of the Government, from its very origin, have been violating “ the obvious spirit and intention of the Constitution ” of their country!—not merely violating the “spirit and intention of the Constitution,” but a “spirit and intention ” which were obvious —that is, plain, EVIDENT, and NOT TO BE MISTAKEN ! But this is not all. That no doubt may exist as to the nature of the accusation brought by the President, he tells us that the authois of the “ sys tem now superseded ” were “ the friends and Ad vocates of privileged orders,” and that they devised it “ for the purpose of perverting the Govern ment from its pure principles and legitimate objects, vesting all power in the hands of a few, and enab ling them to prefit at the expense of the many.” And is it by the use of such phrases as “ privi leged orders,” the profit of “ the few at the ex pense of the many,” &c. that the American people are to be seiuced into tolerating libels on the foun ders of their liberties, the lathers of their Consti tution, and their most trusted servants, through the long period of fifty years ? We took occasion in a former article {See Nat. Int. June 6, 1840,) to notice an Addiess, conceived in a similar spirit, of the Administration members of the New York Legislature, and cited the following passage: “ The earl}- history of this Republic too abund antly pioves that many of those who took part in the Revoiution fought for independence rather than liberty. They rebelled against a monarch abroad FOR THE PURPOSE OF SETTING UP A MONARCH AT home. Placed at a distance from the throne of Great Britian, they had little chance to participate in its honors, its titles, and its pensions ; and they aimed to erect a throne in America, around ■which they might form a band of privileged nobles. No sooner was the object achieved, and the States separated from their parent land, than these ob jects began to develop themselves in the writings and acts of some of the Revolutionary leaders.” Deeply is it to be lamented that denunciations which, when made by a party in a Stale Legisla ture, shocked the feelings es the whole country, should now*again be put forward with the added sanction of the Chief Magistrate of tl e Union. And this is dane, too, it should be observed, be cause in the vicissitudes o: political strife he finds it convenient to-day to rally passions and preju dices in favor es a measure which, but yesterday, bis immediate predecessor declared to be dangerous to the liberties of the people, and his partizans branded as “ disorganizing and revolutionary,” and “ as a fruitrul source of mischief and conua lion.” To one or two other passages of the President’s letter, a passing notice is due. After characteri zing the administra.ion of Mr. John Adams and Mr. Jefferson, in terms quite edifying no doubt to Messrs, Buchanan, Wall,&c., he says; “ A web more artfully contrived, composed of a high protective tariff, a system of internal improve ments, and a National Bank, was then twined a round the sleeping giant in the vain hope of sub jecting him forever to the dominion and will of the ambitious and grasping few ; and you have seen how he has scattered the whole to the winds when roused by the warning voice of the honest and intrepid Jackson. “ Again, in the triumph of the Independent Treasury, we witness the triumph of the popular intelligence ana firmness over the arts, arguments, appliances, and alarms of she interested lew, who desire to enrich themselves by the use of the pub lic money—another and most gratifying evidence that the People, when aroused, are competent to maintain any just principle, and correct any abuse,, however sanctioned by precedent or sustained by wealth.” Now how stood Mr. Van Buren as to this “ ' v< * b He voted for the tariff of 1524, without instructions, voted for that of IS2S, under instruc tions, cf which the secret iustory is now known, and a curious history it is, and even those instruc tions le him a w-ide discretion, and he sustained in his speeches the principle es a protective tariff. He \oteJ lor the system of internal improveraents > even to the extent of ereciing toll-gates on the Cumberland ro d ; and nobody ever heard a mur mur irom him - gainst a national bank, as far as we aie advised, until that eleventh hour when he vowed “ uncompromising hostility” to it. The President tIT ;ks fit to des’gnate “ the tri umph of the Independent Tieasury” as ‘‘ the In i' iph of the popular intelligence and firmness over the arts, arguments, appliances, and alarms of the in. ested few who desiie to enrich them se'vv by the use of the public money !” This is said to a reading people, every individual of whom that knows any thing knows that tne Sub-Treas ury was carried against the popular will, by the persevering, untiring influence of the Executive, and a host of “ aits, arguments, appliances, and* alarms,” skilfully employed in getting up a party dull as perfect as the tactics of the Prussian army; and that ti e proximate instrument of its success " a ' a b *"h-handed fraud on the sovereignty of the ~*? te ot New Jersey, which produced a giate of tilings that resulted in a majoritj’ in -vorof a measure against which a legal majority of Repre sentatives had been returned. Again : ue are told that the Sub-Treasury was opposed by the interested few who desire to en rich themselves by the use of the public money.” 1 iiis appeal is made to the People by the Presi dent, in lav or of a project which confessedly, what ever may be its o her features, gives him and his official subordinates a good currency, and gives the People an e ‘? or currency ! Their response to this and similar invocations made in ihis extra ordinary letter will, we doubt not, furnish evi dence that they are, indeed, “ in intelligence, in tegrity and determined resolution, equal to the task ot self-government,” although the evidence may not be ot a kind the most« gratifying” to the President. J 0 The President, it will be observed, closes his letter with the following paragraph: “ On these evidences of popular intelligence and firmness, the lepublican patr.ot rests with well grounded faith that all means which may be used to mislead or intimidate the People, now or here- after, into a surrender of their Constitution and their liberties, will, as they have ever done, meet < with a signal and withering rebuke.” If present appearances are to be relied on, “ the republican patriot” may confidently expect that, in November next, t h e People will give “ a signal and withering rebuke” to the means which are now used to mislead or intimidate them into a surrender of their Constitution and their liberties; and on few of those “ means” is the rebuke likely to fall more heavily than on the Purse-and-Swobd Sub-Theasurt. The National Intelligencer of the 10th says: “We arc happy to learn that Mr. Habersham is daily improving in health and strength, and that he will probably be able to leave Washington, for his residence in Georgia, in the course of two or three weeks.” ; Alabama Elections.

American State Stocks had considerably improved. United Stales Bank shares sold lor £ 15 6 on the 24th ultimo. For about three weeks before the sailing of the Groat Western, the weather had been unfavora ble to the harvest, and a general advance in the prices of wheat and flour had been the conse quence. Consols and Exchange Bills h: d lor the same reason declined in London, but Ameri can state stocks were in improved demand, and considerable sales had been made of them Penn sylvania were ten per cent, higher than they had been a month previous, being in extensive de mand of a 84.

Lll P* W th great respect, your friend AMOS KEXDALI SHESHEQUIN, July J 3 jgJj Sir: By yesterday’s mail I received vonrle+t dated 28th ult. enclosing your “Address to the p pie of the United States,” and a « Prospectus f the Extra Globe.” As lam not inclined to becom I a hypocrite, and remain silent as the second h* plan which 1 could adopt to retain mv offic / therefore conceive it to be my duty, honestly j a frankly, to stale some of the reasons why I cann t comply with your request. 1 shall say but little about your‘ address * by the way, I consider as great a piece of sophst ! as was ever put together, and, in this covered I ? as great an insult to the understandings f c* American people as could be possibly man u f act J‘ e ed out of the brains of a despot. When the c , O F ' I pic hear you, sir,speaking about “ pure morality'’ and “ true d*mocarcy ” all but the wilfully ant of your political life must stand amazed n your presumption. But when you introduce that I which is pure to support that whit h is impure and corrupt, it will deceive none except those who r e willing and wishing to be deceived. If your object was only “to vindicate the Ad ministration from the foul aspersions cast upon It ’* your task Would be both a praiseworthy and an easy one-, as it would be a very difficult matter for any one to asptrse that which is already rotten to the core. But this is evidently not your main object. Because, to shield, on object from aspV,- sion by aspersing another, is not the course an honest man would take. When,therefore,we see you aspersing the character of Gen. Harrison, as pure a patriot, and as pure a democrat, as ever lived —whose history is a pail of the history of our country, and a most brilliant part too ; no one except the consummately ignorant, or willfully blind, can be at a loss to understand your object and the means you intend to use to attaiq it—to ’ second which you call on me for assistance ! He assured that such a course does not come within the scope of my ideas of right and wrong. 1 sill not a partizan for the sake of paity, right or wrong.” This is the dangerous principle that is now working to destroy the libeitiosof yourcoun try ; and to such a principle 1 shall never submit. I shall go with no party any longer than I I elieve they are going right, and acting for the general j good of all parties, and for the perpetuity and sale ty of our repulican instititutions. That tne party now in power are acting on these principles no honest, well-infoiaoed pai riot, can admit for an in stant —such can have no doubt on the subject. I was, sir, an oiiginal Jackson man (which is more than you, or Mr. Van Burcn, can say fur yourselves)—l supported Gen. Jackson in 1824, and 1828. In 1832 I was neutral. By this time I thong ;t that I discovered a tendency in his plans which if carried out, would destroy the financial prosperity of the country. I could not consien tiously give him my vote. But not being certain I was right in my conjectures, I did not vote fur i any one else. In 1833, 1 became convinced that I my conjectures were right. Since that time. I have not been an advocate of his, or the present I p.dministratisn—the latter appearing to me to out strip the former, it. glaring assumptions of power ' that did not belong to it. Mr. Van Burcn has not only followed in the “ footsteps of his illustrious pn decessor,” but he has made new tracks, which I all but slave to paity,can easily see, and appreciate and which, if followed up, will destroy ourrepub lic. Can you suppose it possible, sir, that any honest, well informed patiiot, can support an Administra tion which has saddled upon the people the Sub- Treasury monster i ’ You must have a poor opin-t ion of the intelligence of the people, if you think so. The “ independent Treasury” forsooth! This appellation to the monster appears to rue to be too invidious and bare-faced, to deceive the | mod ignorant man in the nation. The Independent Treasury! ! eh 7 And pray, sir, to what does the term “ Inde; emient,” in this connection, apply ! It is obviously the most flimsy bait for a gull-trap, that a political happen ever used. Who cannot see, at a glance, that this Bub-Treasury contrivance is independent only of the people (!) and di pendent so : ely m the President ? T hePiesidcnt now, to all intents and purposes, lias the purse of the nation in his hands, obtained by fraud and the disfran chising of an independent State of the Union ! Do you flatter yourself, sir, that the peoole will put up with such high-handed measures, mid sit do-.vn j contented under a despotism 7 Never, sir, never. To suppose such a result, it must be based on the belief that the American people are as ignorant j and servile as the seif of Russia. Well, sir, what next 7 We see that the Presi dent has the puise of the nation in his hand*; can he keep it 7 No. sir, not without a standing army to support him in his unjust plans; and of ihh he seemed to be well aware, and so recommended this anti-republican measure to Congress, that lie may have placed in his hands both the puree and the sword of the nation, and consequently the power to make himself a MONARCH ! Mr. Van Burcn has always been considered a very cunning man. but cunning men a.e someiimes caught in their own trap; and in recommending his plan fur a standing army, he has ran ahead w his maik, showing that he has dipt both of his hands in the cauldron of despotism, end you and “the party” have set Mr. Poinsett the task of washing them clean agai*. But it is a Herculean task, and never can be accomplished. The Loco Pocc tilth and ingredients which this great blunder has fixed upon him, will stick as long as the world and his tory lasts. it would have been better for the President, had he put on a “ poisoned shirt.” Hut the miserable Mr. Poinsett ! he is to be pitied as well as condemned —pitied as a scape goat to bear away the sin of such a monstrous outrage upon the rights of the people and their Constitution, and condemned for conscn ing to become the tool of a man not strong enough to bear his own sins. 1 have said, sir, that disfranchising of an inde pendent State was the means by which this odious Sub-Treasury scheme was consummated into a law. It had, however, auxiliary aid, and from a quarter that no mortal man, a year and a half ago, would have supposed possible. I allude to the coalition between Mr. Van Ilmen and Mr. Calhoun —apo- litical coalition, the most extraordinary that ever took place since the world began ! How the ticep of the South, with his own named caste of th efox and weasel, could form a compact with, and sup* port the man and the measures he hail dealt such heavy blow s upon, is beyond all conception, it scanned upon a..y scale of ethics ever practiced fiom by an honest man. T hat this great man should either voluntarily or forcibly be biought into a compmet or situation, in which lie would b e oblig'd to embrace the editor of the Globe and Extra Gloce, is more strange still. lam induced to believe that this coalition caused greater laughter in the palace of pandemonium, than John Milton supposed tl eie was heaven, when language was confounded at the Tower of Babel ! But I must drop this wonderful compact, for the presant. I have looked over your address, sir, with some attention, and must honestly and franklv arer, that I cannot tind one truth in if, except in the first fine, and that I believe to be all true , viz : “ Our coun try presents a new spectacle for the contemplation of mankind.” Pardon me, sir, for italicizing th* s line. 1 his sentence is most emphatically true and a horrible truth it is, too ; and among the won ders attached to this prospectus is that you should call the people’s attention to such a truth ! in the piospeclus which th.s sentence brings to our view, IVe see a govsrnmcnt that has violated the fun damental principles of that Constitution bequeath ed to the people by the fathers of the Revolu tion, who set this country free from the tyrant ol the colonies I— . ll'a see a government that has thrown the nnan* cial concern# and the prosperity of the countiy into utter confusion ! II e see a government that has caused ruin to fall I on tboussnus upon ihousands of the citizens ofth lS once happy land ? We see a government that has swallowed up the states’ rights, and concentrated all power in it* Executive ! We see a government that has outstript the pro ject', and run tar ahead of the most ultra schemes loimerl v contended for by the Essex Junto, in the ‘‘ Old Bay State !”
