=, vote in Congress in which these subjects
have been involved. And il will strongly
,end 10 secure triumph 10 party which
,yows war 10 the knife against the accom-.
rlishmcni of every purpose which abolition
isrs would promote, and will the very next
Congress make desperate effort TO Sc
cure The ascendancy of saveocracy by the
annexation Of Texas 10 the Union.
We cannot believe that any sane whig
ran be induced 10 take course so eminent
" calculated 10 ruin both the slave laborer
ofihe south and the free laborer of the north
IS the organization of a third party
IN the present situation Of the coun.
try. 1t must prove an abortion. NoParty
can stand upon the solitary ground OF tree
ing lac negroes at the south a, some distant
period of time while tae interests OF white
freemen are made no account of during the
long and painful conflict. We hope the
time may come when the captive will be
made free. and thai will be not by any tri-
nmph of third party organization, but by
sustaining and carrying out those noble
principles of liberty, and equality, and hu-
man rights which have ever characterized
she great wing patty at the north.
We iIave no doub. that in many respects
tho antislavery excitement is doing gocd.-
It is arousing powerful opposition TO the
fell influence oflhc south upon tie thrift and
industrial interests of the country, as well
as ,be safety of those great principles Of
liberty which should be cherished by every
friend of maD. But TO do IFS perfect work,
j! Deeds no seperate organization. 1t is in
nerfect harmony with creed OF The whig par.
" at the north and west, and they hare
shown their faith by their works in uniform
" sustaining the right of petition. resisting
gag laws, breasling up firmly and undaunt-
edlv against the usurpa,ions, and repe!lIng
the insolence and menaces of The slaveecrat-
ic democracy with scorn and contempt.
No greater outrage could be perpetrated
upon truth and justice than the charge
against the wings constantly relter-
ated by St. Clair and the writer's of the
Freeman, that their friendship for the anti
slavery enterprise is mere pharlsaicai
pre.ention, and placing them in this respect
under the same condemnation with The pseu-
do democracy Such fragrant misrepresen-
tations are an insult 10 the understandings
Of the people of Vermont whose ears and
eye, are daily Witnessing against them
Nor are they 10 be frightened out Of their
consistency BY the confident assertions of
these writers, that the wing party is at an
end. We have been most shameful belray-
FL by tho Tylcri,es and iraduced by locOfo-
coz. ard new in secret co operation with
them, by ST.. Clair and his followers whose
venom is equalled only by their Wanting
claims 10 oil the patriotism and morality of
Of the community. We have had corrupt
leaders. bu, we have denounced their treach-
ery,& plugged fiom Them our ronks.We have
bees in he furnace Of affection. but in ls44
we shall como out with a manlier vigor and
al united front against an enemy weakened
by his internal dissenlions. Our apathy will
lie shaken of, and full vote as il ever has
been viii Re wing victory.
