Marty which, on the floor Of congre SIS, no
Iblv yindicatos the inestimabIe right OF pc
tition, and as nobly asserts the freedom OF
debate; of the party, also, that susialns
John Quincy Adams and William SHADE:
of a patty whose views are liberal and
tolerant.
qd-Nr. Seward is the candidate of the
party which, in our last legislature, passed
resolutions against the admission OF Texas
into the Union; against Patton's gag reso
buttons; in favor of the right OF petitions;
and in favor Of granting trial by jury
to persons claimed as fugitive slaves. In
stead of the denunclatlons and reVIlngs
with which our petitions were treated IN
years past-insfead Of threatening us
with penal enactments, the Wings re-
ceived and treated petitions and remon-
strances with that respect and comfy due
to their constituents.
3d.-Mr SeVrd is the candidate Of the
party that opposes the reelection OF a
! President who stands pledged to veto any
bill oboisht 6 slavery IN the District of
Columbia.
4th.-Mr. Seward is the candidate op-
posed togovernor Marcy, who, in his mes
sages to the Legislature, has manifested ,
in sentiment andCsymputhy, the bitterest
/ hostility to our cause; and who, as the pre-
siding officer of public meeting, while he
was governor of the State, recommended
the passage Of laws authorizing a viola
ton of the mails, and naicting pains and
penalties upon those who were dlssemIna-
ting intelligence and truth.
5h.-The reelection Of governor Mar
cy would 90 very far toward the re-elec-
ton of Martin Van Buren,, whose measures
and policy are so hostile TO the cause Of
human liberty.
And finally, because our knowledge Of
Mr., Seward leads US to conide in the gen
eraI SoundneSs and integrity Of his prin-
clpIes. We view the great question OF
sub-treasury, of a national hank, or the
currency, as questions of minor impor-
lance, compared with the great subject Of
human liberty; and believing that the cleo
ton Of Mr. Seward and the defeat Of gov
ernor Marcy will best promote the great
cause Of universal emancipation, we shall
vote for him ourselves, and recommend
our abolition friends to do the same.
Respectfully, your fellow citizens,
We have heretofore published an extract from
a letter of DR.. Duncan, the Loco.foco Representa-
tive to Congress from Cincinnati in which he pro-
nounces slavery greater in its immoral effects
and corrupting tendencies than all other human
evils put together" "A moral and political evil
within itself, or intrinscaly so, of the darkest
and most damnng character" San evil that
has, does now, and will in time to come, while it
exists, involve in it, well as in its present pos
session as in its future operations. crime. fraud,
theft, robbery, murder and DEATH
How far abolitonsm has been connected with
party politics throughout the State OF Ohio, may
be learned from the following extract:
ONO.
A letter from Cincinnati, to the Boston
Atlas, says:
"The aboIitioniSts in this county, with
but two or three exceptions, went for Dun
can and the administration ticket, and
! doubt not, they gave at least 300 votes.
These votes, OF course, turned the scale;
and in the State, where there are 10 or
10000 aboIitIoniss. if they have gone. as
they most undoubtedly have, for the Van
Buren, party, why, the Wings are beaten,
and that badly too. Thos Morris, United
States Senator from Ohio, a warm aboi- .
zionist, has been travelling through the
State for some months past, and can prob
ably tell what the nducement has been to
the a0oIItonlstS tolojn their strength witt
that of the NulIiliers Of South Carolina
1t will be remembered that last winter,
when Mr.. Calhoun introduced his apitat-
ing resolutions on the ubiect Of slavery
opening the whole field OF debate-Nor
rls, one Of the administration Senator'S
from ONO, met with them by sett of
counter resolutions, going the whole figure
Tor abolition doctrines. The time of this
senator expiring on the 4th March next,
ana OHIO being considered generally
wing State, this was what seemed n des-
perate game of Morris to4secure his reel
ectIon'-lt appears, however, TO have been
an adrolt movement. He knew that as a
party his men bolted az nolhing-thev
would 90 for the nominated ticket at ail
laZards--and if he could secure portion
u the aboIllonists, all would be safe. He
vas not dsapp inted, All accounts con-
'ur IN this statement, that almost I he entire
,ody OF the abolllonists voted for egisla-
