To THE ABoLIrIoSisTs OF VERMoNT.-We re-
Gently published some important facts under the
head of"Facts for Abolitionsts" and we wish still
further TO call the attention of Abotoniss TO the
bad policy of their third party movements. We
would by no means inpeach the motives of those Abb
otonists who support third party, or "Liberty
ticket as il is called ]; yet we must say we think
the i'll advised and not calculated TO produce
the results they anticipate.
1t is not pretended that the third party nominal
tons succeed. Then it becomes those who go
for third party, to enquire if they do not do in
jury to themselves to the country, and the great
object they have in view, by pursuing their course
of political action.
Have not the northern Wings in Congress done
all in their power to sustain the right of petition
But how is it with the great body of the other par
tyr Have they not gone almost en- massc for the
gag resoutonsi" These are notorious facts
they known by every one, who knows any thing
ofthe proceedings of Congress, for the lastew years
The third party movement goes directly to aid the
loco focos-to aid the very party that bows in hum
Bile subsection to the will of slavery.
So far as uur own state is concerned, nothing
could be gained by the Abolitionists,. more than
has been accomplished, were their ticket for state
officers TO be elected The legislature of this state
has, most certainly, passed resolutions sufficiently
condemnatory of slavery; asserting the right Of
petition-and the power Of Congress to legislate
upon the subject of slavery in the District of Col
umbia Again, have not our Representatives in
Congress done every thing that could be required of
them? Where, then, is the necessity, looking upon
the subject in an Anti Slavery view, of supporting
ticket for state officers, merely because they
decided Abolitionists We trust the idea OF sup
porting ticket solely on the ground Of Abolition,
will not be persisted in by any portion of the citizens
of this state.
The great body Of the Aboltonists of this state,
we believe, decidedly opposed to the Obstructive
policy Of locofocosm, and hope they will not
hereafter pursue course that shall either directly
or indirectly, sustain the party.

growled their dissatisfaction but left their prey.

WILLIAM IL. SEwARD.--We cannot refrain from
giving passing notice of this distinguished man.
lie has for four successive years filled the Office Of
Governor of the state of New York, dischargng its
responsible duties with signal bility,-rcfecting
great credit upon himself, and upon the state which
he has served. His state papers were among the
most able documents of the kind, we have ever Pc
rused, evincing clear head and sound Judgment.
The present Governor Of the state, VIM. G.. Bouck
in point of talent, to say nothing of his political
views, falls infinitely short ofhs distinguished pred
ecessor. We hope that SEWARD will not long re-
main in retirement, but either be called to serve his
own state, or occupy prominent situation in our
national councils.
