w e are prepared to
resist Slavery.

Tho Wing party in and out of Congress
have uniformly been the friends and champi-
ons Of freedom to the black, and in Vermont
have occupied the whole ground up to the
very verge of the Constitution. They have
advocated the abolition of Slavery in the
District of Columbia and the Territories
But we do not, VIC cannot believe in distinct
political organization to abolish Slavery in
the States, especially the Third Party, W hich
threatens to rend the Constitution and the
Union. Slavery will never be thus ovcrthrown.
Congress has no power to abolish Slavery in
the States here it exists. The owner must
consent to it, and this they will never do. yea,
they dare not do it when they see political
party organized to compel them in manner
which they believe, robs them of their prop
erty, and endangers their lives. This only
confirms Shareholders in an unflinching de-
termination to resist any scheme of emancipa-
ton which the friends of the blacks may pro-
pose. But when this organization is placed
under the control of men i'll in whose patriot
ism and integrity We have not the least con
fdenec, men who are getting pay for the ex-
element which they create, and who would
do nothing for the slave were it not for the
s.inuouS ola political party OF which they are
the leaders,ws cannot but regard 3D. Partyism
as the most censurable, although we cannot be-
Geve the most hazardous engine ever employ
ed by designing men, bIastthe fairprOspects
Of this hitherto great and prosperous nation.

MEAN QUIBBLING

We find that attempts are made in various
quarters to create the impression that Mr..
Slade voted for gag rule in 1871 We
have indeed recently learned that Col. J. P.
Miller is declaring in his Third Party lectures
IN the state of Maine, that "BiH Slade,"
as he there styles him, was the author of what
he calls the gag rule of that year. To put
this matter right SO far as our circulation
can reach, we re-publish the following letter
from Mr.. Slade to gentleman of Rutland
in reply to one referring to similar charge
made in that County, and asking for an ex-
PLANTATION.
Middlebury, July 5, 1874.
Dear Sir Your favor of yesterday is
received, in which you say that certain
lecturer has asserted that | voted for the
"gag rule" in lS4l. send you an ex-
plantation agreeably to your request with
liberty to use it as you please.
At the extra session of lS41, for the
purpose of combining the business of the
session to the objects contemplated in the
Sdii vi the Ileslueni, Tic iohO"ihS iuiO
was adopted, for which voted, viz
upon the presentation ofpetitions and
other papers, on subjects not specially re-
ferred to the consideration of the House,
in the message of the President at the
opening of the present extra session, OBJ
jections to the reception shall be laid on
the table This rule to be considered
only in force during the present session.
Petitions and other papers for and against
a bankrupt law, to be excepted from the
operation of this rule. The action of all
committees, on all subjects not specially
referred to the consideration Of the House
in the message of the President, shall be
suspended, during the present session.

Polk ard Mr.. Dallas, the Democratic Can
didates, for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency of United States; and are you. or not,
of the opinion that the vote Of South Caro-
Ina should be given, in good faith, for
them.
~. Whatever may be your opinion of Mr.
Folks ability, il the event of his election,
10 effect n repeal of the Tariff of 1872, and to
break down the protective system, have you
any doubt of the sincerity Of his opposition
to the entire system Of protection, and that
the influence of his high Office will be in
good faith oxerted TO prevent it!
To which Mr.. HeI,nes very promptly re-
plies in the following letter. Look at ii ell,
we supporters Of Mr.. Polk at the North-are
you prepared for this issue! Reccolect,
Holmes in his previous letter puts it in this
plain form--repedl Of the ia,0s for the pro-
lection Of free labor, or-"COMBINED
SOUTHERN RESISTANCE" to the
laws of the Union Bear this in mind, and
then read.
GENTLEMEN Il have just received your
letter, in which two queries are distinctly
put, and as distinctly will reply.
lst. / am in favor of the election of Mr..
Polk and Mr.. Dallas, and am decidedly of
opinion that South Carolina ought to vote
for them.
I'd. have no doubt of Mr.. Folks sincerity
when he declared his opposition to the
entire system Of protection, and if elected,
he will endeavor to subvert it.
Having answered your questions, l might
here stop. but, l may be permitted to express
my surprise, that any doubt should have
existed ofmy wishing success to the IAN
HExATIoN CANDIDATE" as deem the in
corporation of Texas into this Union VITAL,
and the only hope l now entertain of adding
that great and valuable Territory to our
Confederate Empire, is through the success
of the Democratic party.
Ireman gentlemen, with great respect,
your ob't. serV't l. E. HOLMES.

his suspension not to apply to bushes:
before the committee of Elections, o.
ways and Means, on Accounts, and on
Mileage, nor. if the House shall SO deter
NINE, to the subject!of a general bankrupt
law
The gag is odious because it singles
out abolition petitions, and refuses to re-
ceive them because they are abolition Pc
titians and the majority of the House do
not wish to hear them The above rule
made no such distinction, but treated
them like other Notwithstanding hem
for reasons having no connexion with the
question of slavery, but with the single
purpose of combining the extra session to
the business for which it was called.
1t will be observed that, with certain ex-
ceptions, the reasons for which are ap-
parent, the action of all committees was
also suspended during that session. If
abolition petitions had been received, all
others should have been, and the commit
tees should all have acted, and the whole
machienery oflegislation have been put in
motion. The result would have been
that the extra session, commencing on the
3lst of May, would have run into the ses-
sion, of December The rule had the
effect of combining it to little over three
months, and to the appropriate business of
the session.
/ hope there are very few freemen in
Vermont who are incapable of und erstan-
ding the difference between voting for
such rule, for such purpose, and voting
for 'ths gag
| remain Dear Sir, very truly yours.
