When Boston, after her great disaster, met offers of assistance from various quarters with the assurance that she did not need it, and could rely upon her own resources to confront the emergency, we confess that we were not sure that her local pride had not carried her too far. We are now informed, however, that "the Winter is wearing away without a shadow of distress." Some appeal to Congress for aid did receive the sanction of the Boston people, but this, it is now supposed, will be confined to the remission of duties on goods that were destroyed. The proposition to remit duties on building materials will not be further urged. Boston nobly declines to take aid which she does not require.—Gold Hill News.
