Gatliering Chestnuts.
Yesterday, we went a nutting—
Cousiu Fan, and I:
Rustic queen we call the gipsy.
With her coal-black eye,
For her dainty hand wields sceptres
Over low and high,
Ye t, capricious, as the echo,
In the west wind's sigh.
How she tortured—how she teased me,
Just as cousins can—
Pulling m-.st perplexing questions,
To a prudent man,
And, before I well could answer,
Fast away she ran,
With her pretty straw hat fluttering,
Oh, the sly witch, Fan !
But our gipsy queen grew weary,
Yery —so she said :
And with girlitb, graceful languor
Leaned her regal bead,
t 'Gainst a rough-bark tree, entangled,
Richly overhead,
' In a robe of rainbow beauty,
Looped by golden thread.
Up among the j-ellow branches,
Where the nut-wealth lies,
Sat a meditative squirrel,
In demure surprise,
Yet with laughter in uis visage,
Mischief iu hi.- eyes,—
Pondering—guessing, at the meaning,
; Ut our low replies.
Oh, the subtle, selfish mimic,
From loves arrows tree—
J Weil he knew the art of climbing—
Better far than we,
With no generous thought of sharing
l'etv, with Fan, and me,
As wc sat among the debris
' Of his castled tree.
Though our hero in the tree-tops
Uttered not a word,
Never ceased his en,Hess munching,
Scarcely ever stirred,
It was plain his cogitations
I Were the most absurd :

Stuff, as e'er was heard !
!
But our ba.-kets lay there empty,
Not a thorny burr,
Not a single white-cored dainty

, IUGIIT OF FREE SPEECH
(lIdOKGE FRANCIS* TRAIN ARRESTED
IX FAKEITL HALL,.
Statement and Pi otest of Cdeorge Francis
Train, of Hostou, Mass.
[From the Boston Post.]
We give elsewhere in our paper, a brief ac
count of the Charles Sumner Abolition-Ne
, ] gro meeting, held in Faneuil Ilall, yesterday
' j noun. It was one of the most extraordinary
gatherings that ever convened in that famous
old Temple, and can hardly add to the credit
: of the city or the good sense of the people.—
It was an assemblage of fanaties, met to wer
; ship Charles Sumner and his dangerous and
detestible sentiments—and as such was cal
: eulated to produce far more ill than good, as
■ was the case in fact.
| During his speech, Mr. Sumner specially
: challenged criticism—hut no sooner was this
accepted on the p rt of his hearers, than the
j meeting utterly refused to hear a response.
Free speech, such as had been invited, was
not permitted. Tire friends of Mr. George
j Francis Train, who wi'h him, had remained
quiet for two mortal hours listening to Mr.
1 Sumner, thought it only fair that he should
he heard ; and this too, after the Sumner
■ ovation had actually come to an end. But
i such a seemingly fair, and just proceeding,
I was gnot to be allowed. Mr. Train, after
much peril and difficulty, reached the plat
form ; but was seized in the roughest man
ner by the police and others. lie succeeded
several times in clearing himself from these
! incumbrances, but was at last overpowered
and taken from the hall by the passage in the
rear of the platform. From thence, without
any- covering to his head, he was taken to
police station 2 followed by a large crowd.
In a "Train extra," issued last evening
Mr. Train made the following
STATEMEMNT.
POLICE STATION, NO. 2. }
Boston, Oct. G, 2, P. M. }
Seeing public notice inviting the citizens to
Faneuil ilall to day at 12 o'clock, I went to
! hear Mr. Sumuer and others speak, (being
: myself a native of Boston and a citizen of
, Massachusetts.) I listened to Mr. Sumner
i two hours. He challenged any one to cou
fute his statements. Some few having inter- ]
rupteii the speaker, and attention being ap
parently directed to Mr. Train, he called Mr.
I Sumner to witness that he was not interrupt
ing the meeting. " I know," said Mr. Sum
ner, " that it is not you, Mr. Train, you
would not do such a thing. Supposing that
other speakers would be invited to the plat-

form, I did not step forward, although hun
dreds were calling—Train—Train ! I was
annoyed to find the meeting cut and dried—
annoyed to find that liberty was only fur the
black man and not for the white man—an
noyed to see Boston in slavery, Massachu
setts in chains. The meeting having adjourn
ed, 1 knew in all civilized assemblies it was
quite in order to elect another chairman and
hold another meeting, I stepped upon the
platform, or rather jumped over the railing,
as the packed jury shoved me off the stair
case and blocked the way. Seeing angry
eyes behind me, and hostile demonstrations
from the enslaved committee around Mr.
Sumner, and being somewhat acquainted with
the art of sell defence, while the audience
was cheering in front, I kept on my guard by
looking behind. 1 call the audience to wit
ness that I struck no blow—touched no inan
made no hostile movement; when two or
three took hold of me I shook them off and
put myself on defence. I was goo 1 fur a few
of the miserable poltroons who would strike
a single man, but when dozens rudied up 11
me. striking me right and left, and three dif
ferent hands were lifting me from tho floor
by the hair of my head, at the same time, it
was difficult for me to reach the stage. 1
however did so over the fallen bodies of sev
eral, four times, when the officers of the law
took me in charge. Respecting the law, I
gave myself up, and although in charge of
two policemen, the miserable cowards struck
me, tore open my shirt, and held me over the
staircase by- the hair of my head, when I
should have fallen over thirty feet on the iron
stairs, had 1 not rescued myself bv holding on
to the railing. Cries of kill him, the damned
white man—smash his head—knock him
down, accompanied by acts of violence, fol
lowed me into the street. The policeman
seemed too excited or unable wholly to pro
tect me from this most respectable committ
ee, who say that free speech is the chief plank
of the Free Soil Platform.
Mr. Train remained at the station house
till G o'clock ; employing the tune chiefly in
writing a scorching review of Mr. Sumner's
speech. While here. hL friends assembled
in large numbers in Court square, honoring
him with cheers and various demonstrations
of. pprobation. The rough usage to which
he had been subjected did not appeal to great
ly disturb bis equanimity, though a natural
indignation was apparent in his look and
manner, lie could not have expected, in his
native city of Boston, treatment so base and
brutal as this, and lfcan hardly fad to re
bound upi>n the authors of it. Had Mr.
Sumner's friends been as fair as their cl.atn
pion desired, and permitted a free and open
discussion of his arguments, there would
have been no trouble or disturbance whatev
er. Still further ; after the meeting was over
and adjourned, had Mr. Tram been allowed
to speak all would have been well. But
nothing of this sort was permitted. Instead
of this, he was rudely hustled off to the re
cepticle of felons and similar characters, his
person outraged and himself grossly insulted.
And tiiis first in Faneuil Ilall, the " Cradle
of Liberty," the boasted temple of free speech,
and next in the public streets of Boston,
where men citizens are supposed to be true.
PROTEST.
Ist. A citizen of Massachusetts, I was
quite in order in being present at Faneuil
Hall.
2d. I was quite in order after one meeting
adjourned, in going on the stage to organize
another meeting.
3d. I have been illegally arrested by the
authorities for doing a strictly legal act.
4tb. I hold Mr. Sumner and his committee
responsible for this unconstitutional arrest,
for one word from Mr. Sumuer showing the
least fair.
sth. The officer should have been arrested
who struck me, as 1 made no hostile demons
tration—as usual, they took the wrong man.
This war is fought by the people. The
blood of the people Rows like water to victo
ry. The people takes the notes of Mr. Chase,
and the people are cut guilty- of treason—
The people do not etubarass the administration
The people do not spread slanderous reports
about Mr. Seward. The people do not hold
treasonable meetings in Altoona.
The people do not seek to force the admin
istration to put Fremont in McClellatqs place.
The people do not hesitate to light fur the
Union, the President and the Constitution. —
Vo.v Populi Vox Dei.
The time has arrived to start the cry of
Down with the politicians aud up with the
people !
I listened to Mr. Sumner. lie had no
word of praise for Mr. Seward, nor for Mr-
Chase, nor fur General Banks. He never
mentioned the name of McClellan. and his
discourse was mostly on the negro. To him
this grand battle of humanity and the com
mon rights ofhuman nature is a miserable
negro war. I have returned to Massachu
setts to find all the white men in the pit and
the black man in the dress circle. A reigj
of terror i? in the State—obi merchants look
pale at tho prospect. V ho own the facto
ries ? Who tho shipS"? Who tho farms ?
The politicians ? No.
The men of property are all enslaved.—
The white man is on' his back. Shades of
Hancock and Adams aud Daniel Webster, I
call upo * fV,ic outrag'- •
| citizen of the State—a man whose only crime
I has been to be an American in a foreign land
—where millions were plotting the ruin of
the land he luved more than his household,
! his life.
Where was Governor Andrew 1 Twice
the meeting had been appointed—was he
afraid to meet the indignant people of the
State ? Who sent him to Altoona ? Bos
ton? No. Worcester? No. Who sent
him there to plot against McClellan and the
administration ? Who paid his expenses ?
Ask the people—the indignant people.
Senators and Governors are sailors in the
forecastle. ft is unusual to dictate to the
! captain how to steer.
Come back again, old Massachusetts !
Land of the Pilgrims ! Land of Sachems !
Land of Heroes come hack to me with thy
spotless memory—thy magnificent individu
ality. This damnable outrage is worthy of
the Star Chamber ; and I will remind Mr.
Sumner, in the words of Henry, that Ctesar
had his Brutus, Charles the Ist his Crom
well, aud Mr. Sumner can profit by their ex
ample.
I was not aware that women ruled the pol
itics of the Old Bay State.
The galleries were crowded with those
who have mourned so long over the negro,
they have forgotten the white man. The
Household rites of maternity are more fitting
for women than the fierce arena of politics.—
Ask Mr. Sumner if the women of Rome and
Athens were continually talking about the
galley slaves instead of the Roman and Athe
nian citizen. Such women of Massachusetts
had much better have another Jubilee with
those clergyman who have been paid to talk
the gospel and slanted off on the negro.
1 love women—patriotic women, but I
would advise them to leave pol tics to men
and attend to their children.
The politicians are ruining the State.—
Who embarrasses the President ? The pol -
iticians. Who are trying to break up the ar
my by displacing McCiellan ? The politicians.
Who conspire at Altoona? The politicians.
Then I say, Down with the politicians and up
irilh the people.
Delenda csl Servitude, said Dr. Sumner sig
nifying hat the white men of my State are in
bondage. No man dare speak. If he gives
an opinion that white men are as good as
black men he is called a secessionist. If he
says that a white, man is born free and equal
he is called a traitor. If he intimates that a
white man is a man and a brother he is threat
ened with martial law.
I pity the Bostonians. I pity the mer
chants, the manufacturers, and the people. I
always take the weaker side- Poor old Mas
sachusetts.
SlialliMassa diuselts soldiers live in old tents
in Port Royal, and contrabands in new wood
en buildings ? Shame on the politicians who
do tins thing. I saw the Massachusetts boys
dying in the Washington hospitals. Tell them,
they -u.d to me—tell them we fought the
battles of white men. Tall them at home
that if they would only make this a White
Man's war peace would come before the end
of the year.
The brave army is indignant that blaek
men have been forced upon them. They do
not wish to divide the laurels with the black
race. Do you remember Schamyl, who
fought for twenty years in the mountains of
Caucassia against old Russia? Do you re
member Ma.iomet Ali against the First Na
poleon ? Have you forgotten Abdel lvader
and his band of Arabs fighting tne forces of
the French Empire ? Do you not see a few
New Zelanders keep back tho trained cohorts
of England ? Shall we, twenty-five millions
of braves, call in the assistance of negroes to
put down the rebellion ? God forbid !
Mr. Suinneo sp ike of Napoleon's battles as
being superior to ours. First, they were not
Second, he had no fanatics at home to em
harass his military movements with negroes
fn Egypt, he said, ho would have hung on the
firs: tree any Abolitionist who dared to inter
fere with the campaign.
The hypocrisy of the Abolitionists of Eng
land ought to be a crown to the dishonest Ab
olitionists of Massachusetts. In round num
bers. Old England uses 2,000,000 bales of
slave grown cotton annually—Our New Eng
land, 1,000,000. Hence Old England and
New England jay a direct premium on slave
grown labor.
Mr. Sumner spoke in a slave grown cotton
shirt, wore slave grown cotton trowsers, slave
grown cotton stockings, and a slave grown
cotton hat, sleeps between slave grown cotton
sheets—wipes his hands on a slave grown cot
ton handkerchief—put slave grown sugar in
his slave grown coffee—eats slave grown rice,
corn and sweet potatoes—smokes slave grown
cigars, chews slave grown tobacco ,and uses
slave grown snuff. All bu}' slave grown fab
rics and staples at high prices, and yet pre
tend to be honest in their abolitionism. Chm
ty begins at hotne. Wake up, Boston ! Arouse
Massachusetts, or you will he in a worse posi
tion than England ! God never intended to
leave all the white men out in the cold and
put the black men next the stove.
Abolitionism is dead ask the negroes of
Massachusetts if they want more to come in
to the State and they will say no 1 Ask the
Irish. No. Ask Lawrence and Lowell. No
are invested in cotton factories.
All nations are bidding for Chinese labor—
strov all that God has given us? Slaveri is
dead any way. hut don't destroy the labor at
one blow, and bring servild war. Where are
we to get the cotton if you destroy the-cotton
labor ? Look to it, capitalists, or the town
of the State will be deserted.
The tree is girdled slavery will die in good
time. The world was not made in a day.
Abolitionists, your coffin is ordered. Boston
votes agaiust Sumner—so does Roxbury,
Cambridge Chelsea, Charlestown. All .Suf
folk and Middlesex are against him. Every
Irishman in the State, and all his connections
will vote against Mr. Sumuer.
See the venerable Mr. Lincoln in his eighti
eth year, heading the delegates of Worces
ter.
Hurrah for the people to-morrow at Fan
euil Hail !
Mr. Sumner has no chance of being elected.
Me put him in before in spite of South Carol i
na, but nobody has struck Mr. Sumner since.
He challenges any one to reply to him, and
his committee knock me down for attempt
ing it. Free Speech—Free Soil; Free Press;
Free thoughts fur black men , but not for
white men ! Hurrah fur George 13, McCiellan !
I wish 1 had command of the army. I would
get the Presidents permission to clear these
Northern States of the miserable, maneuver
ing politicians, so that the peopie could be
liberated. " God bless Abraham Lincoln.
Hurrah for White men."
Men of Massachusetss ! Close up—hand to
hand shoulder to shoulder. The dropping of
water pierces the hardest stone. The steady
tramp of the regiment breaks down the bridge.
You are the square of Waterloo, and I am
the Biucher that will send the Abolition fa
natics to St. Helena in November.
Swear by the Army—lt votes against
Sumner. J
Stand by the Navy— lt votes against. Sum
ner!
The Army and Navy forever—Three cheers
for the Red, White and Blue.
An Abolitionist told tnc that he had rathe
have 20,000 negroes in the State than 2 ),000
Irishmen.
Are these Mr. Suuiaer's and Governor
Andrews sentiments
We have raised nearly 90,0000 men for the
war. Irishmen and Democrats have gone ;
but Where are the Abolitionists ? They are
wanted at home to Vole.
Bold is the man that will vote against the
Army, the Navy the Administration, aud the
People, by voting lor Mr. Sumner.
Merchants, white men Irishmen, I call upon
you to redeem the white. Yoy have plenty
of time. I have seen a Typhoon take out the
masts of a ship in a minute. Our political
masts are rotten. Avalanches take place in a
minute. Lisbon fell and Lima in a night—so
you can clean the Augean stable of corruption
and politics that has come so near destroying
the Old Bay State. Mr. Sumner quoted Ben
ton—Xo'Party, he said, was either dangling
at the head or hanging on to the tail of one
party "r the other. In one case the No party
which was a slur and an insult to the People's
organization, will be iu this case dangling at
the'head in November.
Mr. Sumner quoted fabled Rome, and s.ii 1
that slavery was his Cat. That cat has been
eating up the Massachuse&ts chickens long
enough. Look out for the people's dog in
November. Mr. Sumner quote the people
and the Army to say that Abolition must be
destroyed.
Mr. Sumner quotes wars of England, saying
Peace ! Peace ! Peace ! llow can we get it ?
I will tell you.
Btj making this a white man's war and
smashing it]) th" Abolition party. Peace in
sixty days, all the States back, and the grand
est empire of the world. Some parties ought
to be hung on both sides
Mr. Sumner said that force accomplished
nothing. You are wrong, Mr. Sumner.
Force killed Zollicoffer and Peyton at Somer
set Force gave us Fort Henry, Fort Donelson
and Nashville. Force took Bowling Green,
Columbus, Island No. 10 and New Madrid.
Force pushed by Forts Pillow, Jackson and
put Gen. Butfcr in the St. Charles Hotel, in
New Orleans.
Force took Fort Pulaski, Port Royal, Beau
iort, and placed our boys within four miles of
Charleston. Force took Roanoke Island
Yorktown, ami fought great battles at Rich
mond. Force gave us the battle of Antie
tain, and has taken all the English Pirates
that Hover Bat like along the shore. You are
wrong, Mr. Sumner. Force is giving us victory
every where. Make this aV hite man's war,
said the dying, wounded 3oldiers, rnd our nr
will cut through tho rock of treason.
SIGNIFICANT. —In all the accounts given in
the New York tTribune, of the severe battles
fought by General McCiellan, his name doe
not appear once. One would conclude from
that paper, that he was not iu any manner
connected with the movement against the re
bels. This is very small malice^*
