Without care for the morrow-without re-

and sleeps, and awakes TO play once
more.
Too feeble as yet, his heart cannot contain
the past, the present, and the mighty fu'

the present moment. The present 10

The evening to him, is distant future

The whole man is concealed in the infant,

"Sleinrod is elected; his majority now

In the district represented in the last
Congress by the Hon. John Talialerro, the
Fredericksburg Arena (Fed) claims his
election by seventeen majority. To make
that majority. only sixty majority is sci
down for Grayson (Dem.) in Northumber-

Grayson had eighty majority at IL o'clock

Political Parties,

While we shall treat them both civilly and fair.
ly, and interfere with neither of them, in theil
magnificent pursuits, we shall act independently
of them in our political action. We have dis
tinc object from theirs. 1t is to kill slavery, so al
as Congress, or discussion in Congress, can do il
in the District of Columbia and Florida, with the
view of thereby giving it blow throughout the
nation. Slavery is sustained by Congress and by
official political influence, every where in the land
We are determined to withhold our anti-slavery
votes from such Congress and such official inhu-
ence. We wash our citizen hands of the constit-
uency of pro-slavery officers. We will vote "a
gainst them. We will vote and urge others to
vote for men who hate slavery,-and this we will
do, although we mean to clear the land of the ne
gro enslaving spirit long before any legislation
will fall upon it. We can do as much with peti-
tons, while the little Aherons put their dandy
heels on to them, as if they We're smothered in a
more courtly and compromising way by the hands
of the Clays and the Lincolns, The vassa Ath-
erton is working for as, while he is in the nomi-
nal service of the South. His agency renders the
violation of our rights the more odious at the
North and gives interest to our cause. Many
will side with the slave from their disgust at the
instrument of their oppression. We thank the
South for using such an instrument.
1t is not our object to elect our friends to office
we merely withhold our votes from the enemies
of our principles and throw the responsibility of
their election wholly upon others. We do this to
clear our own skirts from the guilt of their con-
stituency and to induce our fellow citizens of the
parties to nominate men who are the friends of
emancipation. When they do so we will help e.
lect them. But so long as protested democracy
presents us the parricide who will wantonly tram
pie his tiny feet upon our stately rghts-who will
sacrilegously tread on anti-slavery petitions with
his dainty rights and let's, we will preserve our
su1rages from the prostitution of their election
And so long as protested whigism shall entertain
the preposterous opinion, that such thing sla-
very ought to be abolished sloaoly, we cannot in
good faith vote for that.
We will vote for ANTI-sLAvERY, let its political
party bias have been what it might This we be-
lieve is genuine political abolitonism. 1t is, as
father Rdeout we'll expresses it, choosing men Of
our own views to accomplish our own objects. >
This we desire our friends distinctly to under
stand. We ask each one of them firmly and de-
cidedy to make up their minds for the time of tr-
al, and then say to the partsans who may assail
them, go to your political opponents, for deserters
