Hon. MILToN BRowN:
Sir-Yours OF the Goth utimo, informing
me of my nomination by the recent Anti
masonic Convention for one of the Electors
of President and Vice President of the
United States, has been received.
BE assured, Sir, l am not insensible to
this recent manifestation of confidence by
so respectable portion of my fellow citi-
zens; but an unusual degree of debility for
some months past, and the slight prospect
of an improvement in my health admonish
me of the improperly of accepting NOM
ination for any public responsibilities, which
l could not reasonably expect TO be able TO
discharge, should the will of the people so
decide.
AT this early period of the canvass, |
come to the determination to decline the
nomination, with less reluctance, as the
Committee can, with little Inconvenience,
select the name of some other individual
for the Ticket of the friends of the Consti
tuition and the "Supremacy of the Laws
Most respectfully yours,
EZRA BUTLER.

Mr. PRENTIss' SPEECH. The speech Of
Mr. Prentiss, which we publish to-day, will
be found to contain clear and conclusive
argument on the right of Congress to abol-
ish the disgraceful system of slavery in the
District of Columbia. The fundamental
right of petition, recently, for the first time,
openly assaulted by southern aristocrats, is
vindicated in a manner equally lucid and
unanswerabe. MIR Prentiss also does Jus
tice to that numerous and rapidly increasing
class of citizens, the abolitonists, by calling
them honest men, and repelling the COM
mon cant of the day respecting their real
intentions. Mr. Swift was equally magnan-
imous on this point in his late remarks on a
like occasion in the Senate. The Vermont
Senators have shown more manlness and
respect towards abolitionists the present
session, than all the rest of the Senate put
together.
Much as we admire the argumentatve
parts of Mr. Prentiss' speech, we confess
that the introductory disclaimers in the sec
ond paragraph disdgure the speech not a
little, in our view. 1t is painful TO learn
that the question of abolishing one of the
most atrocious systems of oppression, rob-
berry and pollution TO be found on earth,
has not enlisted the lively sympathy of a
heart so benevolent, and mind so well in
structed. We have been unable to perceive
any reason for not agitating the question of
abolition at this time" that would not he
as valid next year, and forever. No great
moral change has ever taken place in our
world without agitation. We are not to
expect to be cheered on by the huzzas of
transgressors, while exposing their guilt
and shame. American Slavery has grown
up to giant maturity of guilt. The mon
ster, thank God, is struck with symptoms
of speedy death. lie struggles and storms
and roars for help. We beg of Doctor
Prentiss not to prescribe another opiate for
this old offender.

"OH LINE" ANTIMAsoNs. The editor
of the North Star, in an awkward attempt

comparison of them with the advocates of

son of this town:

core.

The PRosPECT. We have taken some
pains on meeting with our political friends
from various parts of the State, since the
State Convention, 10 inquire how the NOM
nations are received among the people.
very WE'LL is the universal reply thus far.
An intelligent antimason from Roxbury
was asked if he had heard Of any antima-
sons who had lately gone over to Van Blu
rem. Not one, was the answer. Another
friend from Brookfield Zone Of the earliest
antimasons in the State) reports that the
nominations are well received in that re-
gion. Neither does he know of single
instance of detection. Every body seems
surprised at the course taken by the mi
nority, but a firm determination to adhere
to the old landmarks of Antimasonry is at
the same time avowed. We hear by letter
from several towns in Orleans and Caledo-
mia counties, tina; similar spirit prevails in
that quarter. The antimasons at the North
complain loudly of the late founce of the
North Star. They will never consent to
be sold out to the Federal Magician. On
the West side of the Mountains, Van Buren,
stock, we are assured, is in small demand.
The Van Buren, presses, just now, are noisy
enough with their boasts of anticipated
victory; but the people of Vermont are too
firmly settled in their principles to be NOV
cd by empty clamor. Vermont and New
Hampshire, according 10 our geography,
are two different States. True, we have
vascllating politicians here, but the mass of
our people are intelligent, steadfast and
immovable as our mountains. Especially
and emphaticaly is this true Of the Anti
masonic yeomanry. Antimasonry is based
upon principles, which enter deeply and
fundamentally into the structure of repub-
lican institutions. Those who have honestly
espoused this cause, have done so after an
intelligent examination of the doctrines it
cherishes as vital to its existence. Such
men are not to be made the cats paws of
unprincipled demagogues. They are not to
be gulled by newspaper squbs, nor by the
mock cry of monopoly" coming from
the sturdiest practical monopolists in the
land. What matters it TO an antimason,
whether the supremacy of the laws be in
vaded by Masonry, or by the more open
and bold assaults of the national Executive?
We repeat-those who are calculating
upon any change in the political character
of Vermont, discover but little knowledge
of the character of the people for inteli-
gencc, uprightness and integrity.

SYNOD OF KENTUCKY. The last Eman-

subject of Slavery, recently adopted by the

of northern aboltionists in regard to the
character and consequences of slavery, but
also AN avowol of The necessity and duty of
adopting immediate measures for the over
throw of the system. The document is
drawn up with consummate ability, and
cannot fail of producing most salutary
impression upon all who read it, whether
living at the North or South.
