o OF their own mouths shall they be 3ondem
If ned" 1t is too plain to need argument
: that the result ofthe New York elections
o about which the Wings, here, are making
@ so much noise, was a signal triumph Of
: their Northern con:edorates, the abolition-
, lists. But read the Circular, and see:
TCIRCULAR1
TO THE ANrl-sLAvERY ELECTORS OF TIE
STATE or NEW YORK
We ask the privilege Of brethren 10
set forth briefly but frankly the reason
which constrain US to cast our votes for
WILLIAM II. SEWARD, for Cover
i nor.
Is. Mr.. Seward is the candidate OF
The party which, on tho floor ofCon-
gress, nobly vindicates the incstmablc
right of petition, and as nobIy asserts
the freedom Of debate; Of the party al
so, that sustains John Quincy Adams,
and William Sladc; Of party whose
views are liberal and tolerant.
I'd Mr.. Seward is the candidate OF
the party which, in our last Legislature,
passed resolutions against the admission
of Texas into the Union; against Pat
tons Gag resolutions; in favor of the
right Of petition; and in favor of grant
ing trial byjury to persons claimed as
fugitiycs slaves. Instead oftho denun-
Citations and reviIings with which our
petitions were treated in years past
instead Of threatening us with penal
clactmcnts, the wings received and
treated petitions and rcmonstrances
with that respect and comfy due to
their constituents.
Sd Mr.. Seward is the candidate Of
the party that opposes the reelection
Of a President who stands pledged to
veto any bill abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia.
i 4th Mr. Seward is the candidate OPP
posed to Governor Marcy, VINO, in his
messages to the Legislature, has mani,
!, tested, in sentiment and sympathy, the
bittcrcst hostility TO our cause; anc
who, as the presiding officer of a pub
lie meeting, while he was Governor o
the state, recommended the Passage
OF laws authorizing violation of tht
mails, and inhicting pains and penal
! ties upon those, who were disscmina
< ting intelligence and truth.
: 9Th Thcrc-elcction Of Goycrnor Mar
: cy would 20 very far toward the re
] election Of Martin Van Rufcn, who's
J measures and policy are so hostile t
3 the cause Of human liberty.
, hnd finally, because our knowlodg
7 Of Mr.. Seward leads us to con6de i
p the general soundncss and integrity {
IS his principles. We view the great que
G. ton of sub-treasury, a national banl
or the currency, Of minor importanc
20 compared with the great subject of HI
- man liberty; and believing that IL
~ election OF MFR. Seward and the dcfc;
y, ~ of Governor Marcy viii best promot
~ the great canse Of universal cmancip
y ton, we shall vote for him ourselye
H. and recommend our abolition frient
: to do the same.
I" We are respectfully,
). Your fellow citizens.
