ocratc parties. Every one knows that the sue
cess of either of these parties, with their slave
holding and slavery dictated ticket, will be COM
plete triumph of the slave power; and that for
four years more the whole energies of the General
Government will be eAerted to protect and foster
slavery. A vote for eitherparty is a vote to rivet
the letters upon the slave for four years more to
separate husbands aud wives for four years more;
to sell little children in the market from their
heavt-broken mothers for four years more; to shut
out the Bible aud the light of science, and make
degraded heather of one sixth of our population
for four years more; to stand up before the world
as nation of practical hypocrites for four years
more, that this land shall be governed by duests
and shareholders for four years more; that we
shall have ,Uicked men to rule over us, and that
the people shall mourn, for four years more; that
the fiery judgments of an nsulted God shall be
visited upon our guilty land for ages to comet
Are not these things so? and being SO, shall we
longer be misled by the deceptive arts Of selfish
politicians? Can we lose anything by renouncing
either of the old parties that is " worthy of being
compared with the glory that shall follow" con-
scentious and constitutional use Of our moral and
political powers for the destruction of this scourge
to liberty and humanity?
"Is the old Pilgrim spirit quenched within us
Stops the proud manhood of our soul so low,
That mammOn's lure or party's vile can win us
To silence now9
No-when our land to ruins brink is vergng,
In Gods name let us speak while there is time!
Now, when the padlocks for our lips are forging,
SILENCE IS CRIME.

Equality,

There have been seventy-seven Presidents pro-

number stTty-one have been selected from Senator'S
of the Slave States, representing less than third
of the population including savesI while sixteen
have been selected from the senators of the free
States-representing more that too thirds of the
whole population. Gaz.
In addition, it should be stated, in the present
executive department, composed of the (actng)
president, (acting) vice president, and six cabinet
ministers, ALL are shareholders except one
Wilkins, and he the most thoroughly servile of all
the northern democracy-and ALL placed in pow
er by the direct action of the Wing party, or its
recognized representatives. And now the Gazette
has the face to advise the free yeomenry of Old
Hampshire to give their votes for another slave
holder for president, and man imposed on them
by the slave holders for president, to perpet-
uate if possible, this pernicious usage of submitting
every thing connected with the government to the
hands of the slaveocrats. Will they do it in the
face of these facts'-.Morning Chronicle

4th Of July at OOdstOck,

Mr.. interchangeable to previous notice,
the people of Woodstock and the neighhoring
towns assembled at that place on the 4th of July,
to commemorate the birth day of our nation, and
that liberty which constitutes mans highest glory.
The morning sun shone from the east, and spread
its glory to the west. The carriages began to roll
in at six O'Clock, and at ten the village, though
large and convenient, was literally filled with gen.
tlemen and ladies, old and young, great and small
At the appointed hour, the marshals and their as
sstants formed this mass of patriotic hearts in one
procession. Headed by an excellent band of mu-
sic, they marched with elastic steps and smiling IA
ces to the spot designated for the GRAFTON. On the
sky topt pole sat our weary eagle, with his beal
dripping with the blood of tvrants. Below hi,
crimsoned taons foated our stars and stripes
They were escorted to the ground by the Presi

the President, an evening stiffness pervaded thi
vast multitude. At length tall, robust, almos

Franklin County Progress of our Princi'
pies,

A correspondent, who attended the Franklin
County Liberty Convention at Sheldon, and sub
sequently visited several towns in the county, says
The Sheldon convention, in point OF numbers and
in the spirit of its proceedings, was rouser. The
day was exceedingly wet, but in spite of the rain,
a large number attended. Among those present
were quite number who had recently declared
for Liberty principles. We may mention, ofsuch,
Lawrence Brainard of St. Adams, COL Kendall OF
Enosburgh, DR.. Burleson of Berkshire, DR.. Fuller
of Montgomery We give few facts as indica-
tive of the progress of our cause. In Franklin,
where last fall only about dozen Liberty votes
were polled, our friends now expect to carry from
40 to so. Berkshire is expected to double her
vote Of last year. So of Montgomery and Swan
ton. Enosburgh will do well. In one school dis
trct in that town, we were told of gain of 90 in
Il few weeks Bakersfield was last year the ban
ner town of Franklin county. She will doubtless
MAINTAIN this honorable distinction, and perhaps
send Liberty member. Indeed, we shall not be
surprised to find five or six Liberty men returned
to the next legislature from Franklin county alone
Our friends stand firm, and are resolved to main
tain their ground "whst there is shot left in the

MR.. EDIToR.-
noticed in the Waterman and Journal of the
9Th inst, under the notice ofthe Wing Co. Conven-
ton, that Milton Brown is spoken of as being an
aboltionist: as giving his reasons for supporting
the Wing cause, SC. Now we wish for little
information concerning an affair that took place
in the VT State Prison, the last Of June or first of
July, 184l, while Mr. Brown was Superintendent
Did Mr.. Brown require negro gtrI-a prison
er-to prepare some articles of clothing for him,
as he was expecting to start on journey the next
mornng' Did not the girl comply with his re-
quirements, at the same time asking for something
10 cal. Was not Mr. Brown much enraged at her
reply, and did he strike her with his cane several
times, knocking her down and afterwards, beat
her severely? Did he order her to be bathed in
rum Was not this affair transacted on Sunday
Was not the prisoner so much injured as to be un-
able to labor for four or FIVE weeks after her
moderate correction?
Do not the Wings consider Milton Brown to be
the quint-essence of Wing Abolitionism' We
make these few inquiries, thinking that it is pos
sible some one can inform us more about the mat
ter. @~ QUERIST

as to who shall have the honor of wearing the

carried from Carthage to Nauyoo sawed into suit
