CORRESPONDENCE

Weake great pleasure In spreading before our

urd at so late an hour that wo have no time for
Comments this week. We have no doubt that all

OThe candidate for office upon all questions which
are involved in his election, we take the liberty in
he exercise of this right, of addressing you upon
subject which we ourselves, in common with very
many ofthe freemen ofVermont feel a deep and
powerful interest.
That subject is slavery, and for the purpose of as
m'anlng your views upon it, we propose the fol-
owing questions as involving those principles
when we deem fvital Importance.
10 you believe that Slavery is great moral
wong, a stain upon our National escutcheon, dis
g'ce to humanity, which ought TO be immediate.
ycorrected by enamel patton?
10 you believe thatCongress possess the the pow
Tby the Constitution to abolish Slavery in the
District OF Columbia and in the Territories of the
united States, and ifso do you believe they ought
10 do ii?
Would you have approved the law passed at the
Muegsiatnre, giving TO fugitive slaves the right Of

ny answering these questions with that frank
ness and candor which we believe to be congenial

ptiate favor with those who vote the supplies and
keep up salary but it is unjust to the People, whose
friends take the present Administration to beand
who intend to do their trhoe duty as public servants.
