UNION, AND TO THE POLLS,

Any appearance of dissention at the capitol.
which we rejoice TO find is fast clearing away,
leaving even brighter hopes and firmer union
than before, furnishes additional inducements
for the true hearted wings Of VT. TO keep their
ranks full, close and ready for the contest, at the
ensuing election. Let the entire energies Of the
wings be brought 10 the polls ai this eveniful
crisis, in spirit of harmony and concession.
The fruits of long and arduous struggle in so
many hard fought fields, should not be lost by
indulging in preferences for me1 whose opin-
ions admit of but a. shade of difference upon a
single subject, while the common ground Of
perfect union is broad and comprehensive.
THUS Hutchinson and Alvah Sabin both, We
know 10 be good men and good wings. But
third ticket in the present situation of affairs.
when the whole wing front should be presented
to the hydra of locofocoisu,, which is again at.
tempting TO rear still higher its hundred heads,
and roll IFS iron chariot over our necks, would
be iminently disastrous. When the ruthless
common enemy is striving with redoubled eff
forts TO seize upon the government, 10 trample
the interests of both freeman and slave in the
dust, and reduce the whole nation TO a worse
;han Egg p,ian bondage, il is not the time for
any portion Of our party 10 leave the field of
conflict in which all are ready TO combat togeth-
er, and enter another, however laudablc, al the
hazard ofthc triumph OF the enemy over both.
We repeat then 10 our abolition friends, let
union be the watchwori, and as affairs now
stand, it must be the union upon the regularly
nominated candidate. We cannot change our
front in the face of the enemy, without immi-
ncnt danger. If Titus Hutchinson had been
the regular candidate, we would have support
ed him with all our power But the die has
been cast for Charles Paine, man fully entitled
TO the confidence of the Freemen of the Stare.
Can the wings of Vermont be so lost to the i'm
portahce ofunion and discipline, as to desert the
regular state ticket, unless conscience imperi-
ously demands it? Every whig paper IS now
in favor of Charles Paine, who is 10 all practi
cable purposes, an aboitionist.
But, WIGS OF ADDISON COUNTY, TO the Polls,
TO the PoHs!! No folly or madness in free
man can be so great as absence from the Polls
on the day of election. Eternal vigilance is
the price of Liberty. Will the proud Green
Mountain Boys, who nobly won the banner in
1910, suffer the glory of past victories to fade.
by indulgence in an ignominious sloth and eff.
feminacy? Has your PROSTATE and ruined
country no further claim upon your patriotic
efforts. Go, Freemen, and support an admin
istraon which lifts itself up 10 the level of the
high destinies of this once mighty republic, and
and defend yourselves against the all. grasping
ambition OF party to regain the seats of power
which they have disgraced by tyranny. extrav.
agance and remorseless disregard 10 the inter.
ests of the country. What true. born wing viii
grudge single day to maintain the pre-emi.
nence of our former fame. If we cannot give
the enemv an united stroke, we can at leas
show the Union, that however divided, ou
detes,ation oflocofocoism is undated and eter
nal.
