ErOm Tie EOicc of Ercc1nm.

~ our paper OF the 9TH inst, contains an
article from the Emancipator, on the sub
iect of the Vermont Election, in which the
Editor, in undertaking to account for the
diminished liberty vote, compared with that
oflast year, is pleased to consider my innu
ence as having been very efficient in produ.
cling the result. He refers TO my "Connec.
ticut letter" as showing chow zealousIy am
willing to work to turn the whole current oil
abolition influence to the support of the
Wing party" and copies an article from the
Liberty STANDARD, gravely setting forth "the
danger of allowing political partizans to be.
come councillors in regard to the cause OF
liberty" and holding up my course as ga
earning to abolitionlsts," and so forth.
The Editors of the Emancipator and
Standard give me too much credit for the
result, which they so much depore. | was
at Washington from the LIST of December
last, until within less than week previous
to our Election, during the whole of which
time, do not recollect that correspondent
with single abolitionist in this State on the
subject of the Election nor am | able TO
learn that my Connecticut letter" has ever
been published by more than one newspaper
IN the State-and that, not an abolition"
paper.
The Editors of whom | speak should give
the credit of this result to the good sense
of the aboltionsts of Vermont, and not TO
me. The great mass of our abolitonists
think that every just purpose of abolition
may be better accomplished without, than
with distinct political organization. They
think, indeed, that so far as political action
Is concerned, that action may be rendered
more safe and effectual, by incorporating
abolition, as far as practicable, into all the
parties, d lniusing its spirit as occasion may
require, into their movements and measures,
lhan by separate organization, which shall
make the abolition Of slavery exclusively the
object, and leave unregarded and undecided
Ut the Ballot Box, many great and impor-
tant questions which must be acted on long
before slavery can be abolished.
The abolitionists Of this State are mostly
wings" in principle, and do not see how
they can discharge their duty as freemen.
without voting TO sustain Wing principles
IN opposition to the monstrous combination
OF Iylerlsm and Locolocoism which is strno
Cling to rule and ruin the country. They
nave, moreover, watched the course of the
two great parties, and found that the Whig
party has manifested disposition decided
y more favorable to the great object of abo-
luton than the opposite party. They have
seen evidence of this in all the votes on the
several gag resolutions in Congress. They
nave seen 1t in the votes on the questions
growing out of the attacks of slavery there,
upon Its distinguished opponents, Mr.. Ap-
ANS and MIR. GIDDINos. They have seen
H. to considerable extent in all the move
men,s IN the Legislatures of the free States,
touching the subject Of slavery
IL Is true, they have not seen, nor do they
yet see, in the Wings all they desire to see
IN 'h's respect; but they have seen, and do

As TO population, this disvison is certainly as
equal as could be made without dividing or
more counties; while as 10 division of political
power il is to say the least very nearly just to all
parties. One district Jour own) is strongly enough
locofoco in all conscience, while the other three
are probably Whig,-though in one Of them, in
1871, the Wings had not majority, and in another
but small majority. Had the Wings conceded
more, they would have given half the delegation
to their opponents, while the State has clear and
decisive majority against them. To this, we fan
cy the Wings never would consent; and this, no
right-mnded man Of the opposite party would ever
ask. The majority have a right TO insist upon
having controlling roiee: it is in strict accordance
with the first principle of own government,
and none but a spurious democracy will gansay
If. Yet, had anything more been conceded, than
is conceded by the Wings in this bill, Vermont
would have rOiee in the House her votes would
have been equally divided and with a decisive
majority of one party in the State the State itself
would be 10 all practical purposes disiranchised.

There is some little difference between alb

Hicks thinks that had the sheriff at Utica,
not charged him with assault upon his per-
son, it would have been impossible to com
nit him upon the proof which existed against
him when he was taken. Thousands of
characteristic anecdotes are told of him,
which show him to be quite an original, tho
a bad one. We saw an unsealed letter TO
person in Vermont, imploring him to see
that his aged mother did not suffer for the
necessaries Of life, and urging the friend to
warn his young brother against those asso-
ciates who had been the origin of his ruin.
We have given up considerable space to the
above particulars, which we presume will
be interesting to many Of our readers.
