The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1839-07-13

Of money has already been subscribed TO sustain
it-John G. Calhoun being among lis chief sup
porters, he alone having put down his name for
five thousand dollars. "-BoStom Transcript.
That this is not mere tale, is proved by the
following Prospectus, which we have put up in a
conspicuous place in the Anti-SIavery office, and
which we find also copied in leading Democratic
paper, the New Hampshire Gazette.
PROSPECTUS.
UNITED STATES SENTINEL,
AND NATIONAL UNION,
Il Daily Morning Paper, to be published IN The
City Of Ncw- York.
A FEW words will explain the principles
IN which this paper will advocate. 1t will be
the uncompromising and watchful foe of ABoII-
TON, which is but another name for Disunion. 1t
will aim to convince the many amongst us, who
have been misled by prejudice and fanatlclsm,
that they have no business to interfere with the
domestic institutions of the South. 1t will prove
to them that if civil war and separation result from
their unholy crusade, the shame and the sin are
upon their heads. 1t will prove to the abolition
merchant who is amassing a fortune from South
em patronage that he makes poor return by
waging war upon his brethren 1t will spread
before our northern community the truth on this
agitating question: without favor and without fear.
The time has come when the danger must be
looked in the face. Treason is abroad The alb
olitionists no longer work in secret. They have
acquired boldness and confidence. They openly
avow their determination of debating the South
They compass heaven and earth to make prose-
lytes No deception is too deep, no falsehood too
gross for them, provided they can add to their
number. They play upon the passions and per-
vert the feelings of the unsuspicious and unen-
lightened through the pulpit and through the
press-and if not checked in their mad career at
once and effectually, the day is not far distant
when the bonds of our union will be severed.
The question is plainly put to US as the people
of the NORTH" What have we to gain bly, Dis
union =? What have we not to ose?" Let us open
our eyes then to the danger ere it be too late. Let
us discounenance the traitors and the treason.
Our interests and our honor are at stake, and IA
naticsm will not hesitate to sacrifice both.
The political principles of the Sentinel will be
strictly DEMOCRATIC. twill advocate and uphold
the policy of the NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION, and
will support for the Presidency the Candidate who
receives the nomination of the National Conven-
ton Of the Democracy, which will be held at Bal
timore.
Especial attention will be paid to the depart
ment of Commercial intelligence, and all Informal
ton relative TO the Cotton Trade, and the inter-
ests of that great staple of the country.
In the News department, the Sentinel will be
surpassed by no other daily paper in the City,
and literature, the drama, the arts, and miscellany
will all receive their proper share of attention.
The people of the Union have before them the
avowal of the principles which will govern the
" United States Sentinel and National Union"
1t will never prove recreant to its trust and those
who are to conduct it hope that their efforts may
tend to preserve the harmony between North and
South, which ought never to have been disturbed
TERMs.-Daily paper which will be as large as
any of the morning papers of the city, ten dollars
per annum. Country paper (semi-weekly0 five
dollars per annum payable in advance, or six dol
lars half yearly. In all cases where the subscrip-
ton is not paid in advance city reference will
be required"
ROBERT E. HUDSON & co.
New York, May 8, 1889.
Do not the men who stand on the platform of
slavery, know whether the ground feels firm be-
meath their feet? Would they be taking such ex-
and expensive measures, of which the
leading and exclusive object is to counteract the
felt influence of abolition, if they believe the tales
of New York editors-nay if they did not know
their falsehood and baseness? The announce
ment of this prospectus, subsequent to the Annual
Meeting of the National Society, fully justifes the
of those abotionists who then Believed
that the shareholders would take small consolation
from that meeting and sustains also the cheerful
tone of hope which appears in their late Address
to Abolitonists."
While we are deeply mortified, as Americans,
to think that such an enterprise should originate
and be sustained, in northern city, after seven
years labor of the aboltonists, and in the face of
The demonstratve facts the British West Indies
yet, on behalf of the Anti-Savery Society, we
cannot but rejoice, on many accounts
We are glad to see the South putting proper
estimate on the servile press of this city. The
nercenary character of their zeal for Southern
Institutions" is seen through. Their rottenness
S rejected. The honor for which they have each
oeen so violently striving, of being thought fore
most in the inlamy of defending slavery, has baf-
led them all. Nought remains to them but the
raitor's reflection that they have betrayed the
rust of liberty, and lost the reward.
We are also glad to know the extent to which
slavery has infected the body polite. How can
he remedy be applied, until the people at large
become cognizant of the depth of the disease! And
lothing will make the people see, but such de-
,elopments as these. BY and by they will know {
hat slavery is determined to retain its ascendan- {
y, and to secure it against all possible struggles
{ liberty. And they well know how possible ii
