For the Green Mountain Freeman

The mountain has been in labor, and brought
forth mouse. Texas is SAFE The mighty con-
test is settled. The Wings will not let Mr.. Tyler
have the glory of annexing that land of rascals to
our republic. And the democrats will not let Mr..
Clay have the glory of annexing it when he is
ready to do the work. Both want the valuable
acquisition; and both are willing to have all the
slavery that is there; but neither is willing to let
the other have the glory of acquiring that land of
PROMISE" So, between Tyler and Clay we seem
likely to loose the golden opportunity of strength
ening the sIave-power by the acquisition of Texas.
Well, if they can't bring Texas to us, they can go
to Texas, and their partizans can all follow them.

the M. E. Church, Franklin circuit, (Michigan)

Resolved, That in the opinion Of this Confer

against American Slavery, the sum Of all vany,
and exert his utmost influence in favor of the
peaceful and universal emancipation of the OPP

stand render themselves unworthy of the patron

the following brief selections respecting the can

"The Liberty men have selected as their can
didate for the presidency, a native of Kentucky,
afterwards distinguished citizen ofAlabama, who
surrendered fortune, and the prospect of political
distinction, to the demands of duty, and having
given freedom to his slaves, consecrated himself
to the great work of revvng in the hearts of the
people their old devotion to the genuine principles
of American liberty. The man is
JAMES G.. BIRNEY, of Michigan.
They have selected as their candidate for the
vice presidency,
THOMAS MORRIS, of Ohio,
Who has been from his boyhood consistent adj
vocate of equal rights. This distinguished citi-
zen, when, few years since, he represented the
state of his adoption in the Senate Of the United
States, stood up alone in that body, uncheered by
the sympathy of political associates, and unsup.
ported, except by noble confidence in the justice
of his cause, to vindicate the princp Piles of liberty
against the assaults of Henry Clay, Who then stood
forward as the champion of perpetual slavery

deared himself forever to the lovers of Liberty.
