"Boston, Feb. 19.
I have the great satisfaction of informing you that federalism is declining full as rapidly as has been predicted. It is now in Massachusetts headless and heartless. I think there is very little doubt but that we shall have a republican Governor, and probably a republican legislature, the present year. Our Pickerings and Otises, and our Hartford Convention men, are sinking fast never to rise again. Some of them absolutely cry out for quarters."
