Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1842-08-15
True! True!

Judge Williams has addressed letter TO the
third party State Convention, in which he says
that he has "no ambition for political life, mud
that its honors or cares do not commend them
selves to his feelings or habits" For these and
other reasons he declined u nomination last year,
but he does not feel Mt liberty to decline this year.
Slavery, he regards as moral and political evil
to eradicate which, Immediate vigorous and reso-
lutte action is necessary and he thinks that the
work would be done, if the free states would
quire their representatives in Congress immediate
ly 10 abolish slavery in theDslrict aud Territories
In all this, the people If Vermont-at least, we
may say the Wings of Vermont-have heretofore
most fully concurred; they have repeatedly done
the very thing Indicated, and we trust that they
will not be weary in well doing. What then will
lie gained, even by the most perfect ascendency in
the state OF an abolition party per e?-thank thee,
John, for that term Judge " ilans concludes
as follows
"Ii political considerations should have any
bearing on questions of this kind, may be per-
milled 10 add that SLAVERY is bond Of politica
union in those states ohere Il crisis ,ohich enables
them 10 bring united effort and strength on all
political questions t0hich affect them in any pay
ted effort and action on the part of Others whoss
interests are too often sacrificed und coInpromis
ed to secure the influence of those Suites"
There was ruth in the other sentiments of the
letter, which we have briefly stated above but il
is in reference TO this that we particularly exclam
=" True! Iruer' Often have we urged this
view ofthe subject. Slavery is bond OF union
which enables the South 10 unite on all political
questons-and 10 this political union have n GER
tain class of Northern politicians given their adj
hesion. Thus originated the Jackson pary thus
Van Buren, came into power-lhns the Protective
policy was FRUSTRATED. Al his very moment, the
same coalition is in existence, and is powerful,
too were it not thar u portion of the Southern
Wings have The wisdom 10 see, and courage to
maintain, The rights and interests of the whole
country MS connected with the tarf-thut Goa
lition would prove all-powerinl-it may yet prove
sufficiently 80 10 make new sacrifice on The altar
OF Modification and Free Trade. II is exhibited
TO us in Congress to-day, The coalition Of Cal
houn of the South, with Van Buren, aud Wood
bury OF the Norh: it is the universal locotoco
party, now eagued ms of old, for the ruin of the
country, and particularly OF the free states, by de-
nying Protection. Still, we fnd onti-slavery
| men and professed Tariff men, loo-countenan
ing The coalition AYE, strangest OF all-second
on The third party ticket stands dough faced To-
cofoco, who has sworn fealty TO the very 'pith
and marrow Of the coalition creed" INDUS
TRY MUST REGULATE ITSELF" Can
ami slavery men delude themselves with the hope
that such men will give them power TO achieve
any noble end? We will not SO far insult that
large and intelligent portion of Vermontsrs MS TO
suppose the thing possible. A isw, possibly
but only few-may be duped thus into the sup
port Of the coalition, Ivy the rickery Of locoiocos,
who assume abolition as the pirate hoiss a
false hag--only TO secure more easy sacrifice of
their victims,
