Whigs of Massachusetts.

The Whigs of this State have completed their organization by the appointment of the Whig State Committee. As soon as the elections are over they intend to prepare an elaborate address to the Whigs of the Union, presenting a platform broad enough for the Whigs of all parts of the country to stand upon.

Leverett Saltonstall, George Lunt, William Aspinwall, and others known to fame as sound conservative, national men.—They do not mean to join in the eternal and never-ending crusade against institutions which do not concern them. The Hon Robert C Winthrop last year refused to support Gov Banks on account of his course towards the judiciary
