No man is to blame for acquiescing in
the nominations OF party, if the candi-
dates nominated by his party are such as
he can support without sacrifice of his
own principles; but to vote for candi-
date or a set of candidates, merely because
they are nominated by the party, with
whose political doctrines in the main he
concurs, or even because il may be uncer.

one, who covets the enjoyment of indie.
pendent thought and free action No
man ought to be blamed, for refusing to
support candidate, or for Withholding
his appreciation of public proceeding
when he knows that the candidate holds
to principles which he believes to b..

measure is pregnant with eviI,-aIthouoh

different opinion.
1t Is probable we may be told that these
views are not in exact accordance with
some which we have advocated on former
occasions, nor with the general current of
our editorial opinions We fankly admin
the impeachment, and cheerfuIly submit
to the penalty of all the sin it involves.
During the severe struggleIo elect rep

District, Tor example, we verify thought
we were doing our country service, by
endesvorlng TO persuade the aboilionists
that they were in duty bound TO throw
their votes for Nathan Brooks or William
Parmenter; and we could not repress
some indignant remarks at what we be-
lleved to be their perverseness and comm
macy, IN throwing away their votes unon
candidates whom they knew it to be inn
possible to eject, and when thew kne v
100, that by scattering their votes. thew
would prevent any election, and prolong
an improbable contest. Further reAec.
ton has compelled US to view this matter
IN different light We still think that
the abolilionists were unwise and impoIit-
lc, in Withholding their SURFACES from
Mr.. Brooks; for had he been elected
land he would have been, had they given
their votes for HIM. we have no doubt
that he would have done all that they
could REASONABLE wish their representative
to do in the matter of the abolition of
slavery. But, if they thought otherwise,
and consclentiously believed that neither
OF the political candidates possessed what
they held to be an indispensable quali6ca-
t,on' they certainly did right-they acted
the part OF honesi men-,if+y stand justi-

and merit the appreciation of every man
who IS not willing 10 wear manacies and
have his neck chollrd with collar.
