For the Voice Of Freedom,
"Crstom is the Plague of Wise Mon, and
the Idol of FOols.0

Mr. EDITOR: In recent communica-
tion which you had the goodness to insert
in the Voice Of the 5lh inst, made some
animadversons on political error TO
which custom is giving currency, as con-
tanned in late letter of Charles Burchard
Il mean that error which by the strong
band OF party attachment would bind US to
the fearful alternative Of Polk and imme-
date annexation, with its consequent train
ofevis on the one hand, or Clay and slave
~ as it is, on the other. To show the
Improperly of holding ourselves in such n
dilemma, l presented in contrast other OBJ
legations the moral law of God, the ell
ementary principles of our government
its grand design its organic structure, and
the guards by which it is secured, from
such perversions and innovations. also
alluded to the happy effects they have pro-
duced, and are producing on the Amer-
can people. These principles were urg.
ed as direct contrast 10 that imperious
law Of custom and precedent, which is
like the foundation of the throne of kings,
and the bond of purblnd party But
was compelled from circumstances, abrupt.
ly TO drop the train of thought Let me
then resume the theme by inquiring - Is
there any danger that the present custom
arv course of our elective franchise
Graught with all its zeal and tenacity for
the constitution, may so pervert that in
strument as 10 counterwork its grand de,

enough to hold all who are not sayehod-

courage them so far as they 60, and show
them by fair reasoning, wherein they do

OF The subject? That public opinion must
be the basis of action against moral and
political evil, is clear to my mind and
that civil enacImehts against such evils aid
in Increasing and Strengthening such o.

necessary, in some cases. 10 begin on the
surface 10 probe moral evil, as it is a

who do, in voting against slavery.
