We have before us in Massachusetts a very bitter period of political strife, to last till the Presidential election. After that the Free Soil cause will be completely and without let or hindrance in the ascendant. I know public sentiment here, and I do not for a moment doubt the future and their associates will probably share the fate of the Hartford conventionists. I hope Hillard may be saved.
