President a practical despot. Such
is the infatuation, that this accumu-
lation of power is demanded as a
democratic measure. 1t is an insult
to the common understanding, an
outrage upon the principles of the
Constitution. We call on men, as
practical republicans, 10 resist, to
preserve their liberties ere it is too
late. We call on freemen to exert
their giant energies at the ballot
box to roll back the waves of this
torrent that is sweeping away their
power, paralyzing the industry OF

from the high places of freemen to
the condition of bondmen and serfs.

THE CAUSE.

We learn from gentlemen who attended
the convention at Cambridge, that consid
ering the bad state of the weather, it
was we'll attended and that the best feeling
prevailed. All were animated with the de-
sire to sustain the republican doctrine Of
the party. There can be no doubt Of the
fact assumed in the address that we have ten
thousand voters in the district. We have
more than three hundred thousand souls in
the state, and this will give Us moro than
sixty thousand in this district, and il one
Of six arc voters, it will give ten thousand
votes. The v. Buren, party have called out
their strength, for they never stay away
and If so. we have more than twelve hun
dred majority. Messrs. Allen and Briggs
attended. aud both addressed the cohven'
ton Urging that all should 60 for the grea'
cause Of the country. and juined cordially
in the nomination of Judge Royce. Nj.
Aliens speech is said to have been of
high order, and we expect TO b. ableto give
Vt TO our readers on Friday next.
Sumo anxiety is felt lest Judge Royce
should decline, but why should there be
any sollc,ude on hat point. We know he
wishes not to be a candidate but what OF
that. As a republican he will admit his
obligation to serve his country, and no Cit
izen has right to dictate in what capacity
he will serve. 1t is for the country to APP
point their stewards and direct in what
part ofthe vineyard they shall serve, and
the first duty the steward is submission.
The time has not arrived when any can
refuse to serve in an honorable capacity.
If it 10 the good pleasure Of the district to
elevate Judge Royce from the bench to the
national legislature. it will be his duty to
submit. and Judge R. never yet refused to
do his duty. His life has been one Of SER
vice, Of duty well performed, and though
the pistols and bowie knives at Washington
are not to his taste, his quiet dignlfied
. manner may aid in bringing about a bet
ter state of things.

ADDRESS,.

hDDN LkOOs
The delegates from the several
towns in the fourth congressional
district, in convention assembled,
beg leave before separating to offer
a few remarks, indicating the prin-
ciples by which they have been
guided in the selection of candi-
date. From a knowledge of the
character of our constituents, we are
persuaded they would not have US
actuated by any selfish views, but
would have us 60 for our country,
its prosperity and republican insti-
tutions. In this view our aim has
been to select a man whose life is
the best guarantee of his political
creed, and whose powers command
the confidence of the country. We
have taken for our guide the old re-
publican standard, is he honest, is he
capable, is he faithful to the consti-
tuition, and in a spirit of mutual
concession have unanimously agreed
to propose the Hon. Stephen Royce.
1t is unnecessary to dwell on the
merits and qualifications of our can.
didate. He has been long known
to the district, and most are intim-
ately acquainted with him. We
have not selected him on account of
any desire on his part for the place,
for we know his great reluctance,
but we have put him in nomination
in the confidence that we have a
right to select from the whole num-
Der oftalented men, and that no true
son of liberty, no genuine patriot,
has right to decline an honorable
employment.
In coming to the conclusion TO Of
fer a new candidate, we have not
been influenced by any want of con-
fdence in the present incumbent,
but on the contrary we wish to bear
unequivocal testimony to his worth,
talents, and high public services.
We consider the Hon. Heman Allen
public servant of eminent useful
ness, and have withdrawn him on
grounds ofexpediency, and hope the
time is not distant when we may be
availed Of his services in other pub
lie employments.
Whatever the fate of the election
may be, it cannot arise from any
doubt as to the polical character Of
our candidate. We have no occa-
sion to certify that he is wing, no
new conversion to the principles OF
our party requiring any such procee-
ding. He is not new convert,
whose eagerness for Office has
wrung from him a disclosure of his
creed in such doubtful terms that
opposing parties claim him. His
creed is of the olden time, and he
has acted through life on the princi'
pies he processes, plain republican
and practical man.
We might here rest the matter
having done our duty, in the conf
dence that our brethren will d.
theirs, but having taken great pains
by conversing with each other t.
ascertain the probable strength O
the party in the district, we give thu
lresult at which we have arrived, a
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1838-11-09

The election in this District. takes place
on TUESDAY. the 18th inst. instead Of the
second Thursday in November, as announ.
ced last week
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1838-11-09

and certain victory if we are true to
ourselves. The votes cast in Sep
TENDER amounted to 1918 only.
There is in all probability more than
ten thousand voters in the district,
and we hazard nothing in the asser-
ting that we have clear majority Of
more than one thousand legal voters.
The result of the last trial was ow-
ing in some measure to the Canada
question, which can have no inAu-
ence now. The wings have now
an open field, and if the fight is fair,
the spirit of misrule will be signally
rebuked.
Our friends should remember that
the race is not always to the swift,
nor the battle TO the strong. We
have had abundant evidence of the
superior organization ofthe Van Bu-
rem party,the force of party drill, of
presidential patronage and profuse
expenditure of money. The cleo
tons of the last sixty days have de-
monstrated that there is a combined
effort to rob the honest voter of his
legal franchise by the introduction of
foreigners and hired voters. In 9TH
err states these efforts have been
great, and the consequences are APP
paling. The people are robbed,
conquered at the polls by the votes
of mendicants and paupers who fat
ten on our bounty. This state of
things is not to be endured. Politi-
cal liberty is but a name ifrulers can
be foisted into power by the aid of
venal votes and foreign vagabonds.
We ask not that our friends should
initiate those who in the scramble
for power, forget right, and find con-
ISOLATION for the sacrifice Of principle,
in the success OF their measures, but
we urge them to take lesson from
their zeal, and to show like ener-
gy and perseverance in the defence
of their rights and preservation OF
their liberties. If the institutions
of our country are worth preserving,
if American liberty is any thing
more than a name, if we are in ear
nest in promoting the common pros
perity, we have something to do,
something that requires frmness,
energy, and public spirit. They
are mistaken who think that revolu-
tons and commissions only demand
great exertion. The preservation
ofliberty demands as brave spirit
as its achievement, and it is well to
remind men of the fact because there
is less of glory in it. Men will haz-
ard their lives to obtain their liber-
ties, and then through supineness
leave poachers to fitch them away by
little and little.
The times demand exertion. A
crisis is forming in the affairs of
our country, and owing to peculiar
circumstances, the wings of this
district are called on for a signal
display of that love of country and
devotion to principle which has
shed such a lustre on the American
name. Our opponents having push.
: ed their candidate in advance, will
redouble their exertions, and the
Wings with the power in their hands
will be defeated, unless their course
is marked by unanimity and pcrse-
verance. Are they equal to the
conflict Il? Let each make the case
, his own and give his answer at the
polls.
1t is feared that some Wings will
vote for Mr.. Smith. Such was the

vote, involves an Inconsistency and
is an aspersion upon the character
Of the Wings.
We shall not stop to discuss the
correctness of wing principles. 1t
is sufficient for US that we regard
them as true, as the great principles
of the constitution, the principles
on which the prosperity of the
country is founded. In our eyes
they are sacred and whether veal
or woe betide us they shall not be
deserted. Better, far better, to die
in the defence of free principles
than to join the despot's throng in
their shout over outraged liberty.
Professions of zeal without cor
responding effort are of little value.
True republicanism stands not in
profession, but in the effort to carry
out in practice the principles of the
constitution. Who then are the
republicans good and true With
whom rests the ark of American
liberty' On the one side we be-
hold men struggling to preserve
power in the hands of the people,
to carry back the exercise of it as
near the source as is consistent
with safety, warning against execu-
tive patronage, and endeavoring to
limit the mass of power that is con-
centrating in the hands of the Presi-
dent, exerting themselves for the
internal improvement of the coun-
try, con'ending that the powers of
government should be used for its
advancement, that the credit and the
currency are deposit in the hands
of the peoples representatives to be
used for the common prosperity,
advocating freedom and equality in
its broadcast sense, the right of uni.
versal suffrage, the liberty of speech
and of the press, the subsection of
all to the restraints of law, but
denying those restraints of liberty
which no law can sanction, contend
ing that man in the image of his
Maker should never be subjected to
the control of his fellow man, stri-
wing to elevate the standard of moral
excellence by the uprooting of vice
In all its forms, and yet such men,
without even the stain of selfshness
upon them are branded as aristo-
Gratis. On the other hand we see
men claiming to be the exclusive
democracy laboring to concentrate
all power in the hands of their chief.
For this they encrease executive
patronage beyond former precedent,
add thousands to the countless ar
mics of dependents, and point the
power of both to restrain the free
exercise of the elective franchise,
for this all internal Improvement is
denied, for this an uncontrolled
power is claimed over the heads of
departments, and faithful public SER
wants dismissed, because they will
not sacrifice their own opinions, for
this the appointing power is en-
ployed in little else than the corrup-
ton of members of Congress, for
this the free exercise Of the powers
of Congress are denied, bills passed
by both houses treated with con-
tempt, laws of the most sacred
character vetoed in advance, the
claim of man to his natural birth
right sighted, and the petition in
behalf of suffering humanity reject
ed and despised. Thus in the cant
phrase of the day, democracy strives
to commend itself by the accumula-
