FREEMEN'S NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 9

FREEMEN'S MEETING--NovEMp 8.
The 9Th Nov. next the Freemen of Yer.
mont will again be called upon to exercise
their right of suffrage and to choose SEVEN
ELECTORS OF President and Vice President
Of the U. States. In doing this they ex-
press their opinion whether they will have
Martin Van Buren, and Richard NJ John,
son for President and Vice President, or
WILLIAM H. HARRIsoN aud FRANCIS
GRANGER. In voting for the former tickle,
It will be understood that the present Ad-
mnistra,ion is sustained and approved of,
and in voting for the Harrison ticket q
| change Of The Administration is expected
If there were no serious complaints
| against the present administration, we think
sound policy would dictate a change
Eight years is long enough for one admin
| stra,lon to be in power. There may be
many acts Of gross nal administration
which are undiscoverable until a change
does take place and investigation is gone
into. PARTICULARLY in relation to the cXpcndi-
lures in the different departments of the
Government. But enough Of ms.manage
mcnt and proflgacy, in our opinion, has
| been developed to The understanding OF
every honest and intelligent freemen Ia
leave no doubt on the mind that n change
is absolutely necessary 20 the welfare and
peace of the country. And it is most Sc
riously believed by some of the best ant
wiscst Statesman our country affords, that
the existence OF our Republic depends on
change.
Under these circumstances, how can the
freemen neglect The poIls' We warn then
of the danger. Should Martin Van BureI
be elected President, we shall have to sub

this State, If the Frcemen attend he polls
and the result ofrhe contest throughout III,
United States may depend on the sever
votes which are TO be cast in this State.
The result Of the elections in the State
must now dislpate the idea That The favorit,
(prodigaN son of New York cannot but b.
elected President, notwithstanding he ma
have the vote Of Pennsylvania. He ha
probably lost Georgia. and Ohio has gon
beyond his reach by lhousands--and it i
now pretty well settled that every southern
, State will go against him together wit
several OF The western. In fact, there
scarcely possibility that there can be an
election by the Electors, and Harrison is a
