TO THE ABOLlTIONISrS OF ORANGE
COUNTY.
| am one of those individuals who have ever
regarded it Il sin, and wrong in the sight of God
to hold fellow man in bondage have always
meant to act in conformity with the above prlnci-
pies. have ever believed it my dny and pri,i-
legs to ngltate This subject At all times aud on all
occasions. have always attended Anl-Slavery
lectures, and encouraged others to attend aud
have freely contributed TO the agents OF the Anti
slavery cause; aud finally, ] think am n thor

profess to be u6olitlonsls every year about ills

Last year was made to believe it my duty 10

third party business fairly and canlilly. a con-
,ention was holden Mt Randolph Inst winter for
the purpose of making third parry nomination.

Ter well know both personally and politically;
IN politics he was part of the time with ihe lucns
and part OF the time with the thrd party folks or,

waited patiently, but with much anxiety for the
lime To CONE when these two parties should meet
aud make Their respective Nominations. could
moi make myself believe ll.at last years ticket
would he dropped, rs they were all veierans in
the Abolition cause, and beside, Judge llnlrhn-
son addressed Ieucr u the Randolph Cunvel-
lion assuring them dat if he was put in nomina-
ton again he wouli cherrluliy accept. The day
at last came for tha meeting Of the Ioculoco SAFE
Couveniion-aud H. and heiluld, one part of my
friends prediction camel pass-E. d. Barber was
nominated tor the Office Of 1t. Governor. then
begun 10 think perhaps his prediction might all
prove lrue. therefore attended the Bruukiied
Convention; was merely lobker on. The hu-
siness part Of the Convention was managed by
II. W. w. Miller aud his loco friends, aud they

lOngel 10 either ut the other parties they did not
like to support Barber. Miller says "Barl,rr will
not he u candidate for the lros il he is (says ny
we will hot support Him" | looked for Barber's
letter to see what lie hal to say about being Il can
date for the iocos. Not word does he say, u
bout il. have watched these Iendmg third parry
men for Il long time, and | hear them constantly
curslng The Wings aud pralsng Ihs locos. And
have come 10 The honest conclusion hal This third
party is got up by tho ocos for the purpose OF in
JurIng tho Wings and helping themselves. The
Wings of Vermont have always whether in our
own Legislature or in The Halls OF Congress- done
every thiag that wus possible for any abolitinnst
To do They have always Stood up for the sacred
right of petition, whilst the locos have as uniform
y voted against it. Charles Pane heleve to be
II better aholiiionisl lhun d. Barber or any OH
or loco in The state. ". r. Ranney the Wing can
ddate for Lieut. Governor, is as warm an Adolf
zionist us there is in the state. ! shall vote the
Wing ticket entire this year, and hope that eve
ny Wing Aboonist will do the same. Depend
upon il, BY poting for Barber you are upholding The
interest Of The SLAVE holder, for Barber is OPPOS-
ED 10 a TARIFF! Finally, my brethren, if you
regard The welfare Of the poor aud down trodden
slave, you will vote the Wing ticket If you re-
gard your own interest aud Ire welfare of your
oion friends, you will vote the whole Whig ticket.
II you desire the happiness aud prosperity of the
people generally, aud the perpetuity OF our Re-
publican institutions, you will vote the WING
TICKET.
