VERMONT FoREvER.-Governor Mat.
tocks has delivered the best anli-slavery
message that ar American governor ever
wrote. We shall take pleasure in laying
it before our readers next week. Yet he
was bitterly opposed by the politico aboll.
ton party.-A. S. Standard.
The Standard is in a fair way to devel-
ope its political tendencies. What with
It's opposition TO the Liberty Party, lis
mendaclous assaults upon Mr.. Brney aud
MIR. Leaviu, its calling the separation of
aboltionis's from proslavery parties, &" q
sham" and its evident sympathy with the
avowed supporters of that duelist and
Shareholder, Henry Clay, the friends of
freedom must be blind indeed not to per-
celve that It's editor is not yet purged from
the leaven of pro-slavery whiggery. Take
the paragraph at the head OF this article
as an illustration of his feelings. If its
last sentence means any thing, it means
to censure the Liberty party for voting
against John MaNocks, who is SO thorough
ly Anti-SIavery, on paper. But why
did not Mr.. Child give the reason of this
opposition? Why did he not say that
john Malocks is the partizan of a slave
holder and dueliSl 2-that when inquired
of by the abolitionists, he declared his
readiness to vote for Henry Clay? Ought
the "politico abolition parry" to have
voted for such man, under such circum-
stances? The Standard certainly init
mates as much. Yet, it is well known
that every vote cast for Maltocks went to
strengthen the interest of Clay, and that
every Wing triumph is hailed as tri.
umph of the Ashland COMPROMISED, and
is such in reality. Would David Lee
Child have US vote directly for a slave
holder? If not, why would he have US
do the same thing indjrectly? Liberty
men can do neither - and the time once
was, when the organ of the American
Antl-Slavery Society had no censures tc
bestow upon aboltiooists for the refusal
to sustain, a: the balo: box, 2ro-slavery
and slave. holding politicians. If the Stand
ard and its editor have been transferred
to the Wing party, Enough in the case o.
the latter transfer was hardly necessa'
ry,) it would seem but honest for him 10
