Reader-Christions Of Vermont lust look at
these appointments, SEPTEMBER FIRST, at Put.
ney. Now on what day of the week comes the first
day of September Why no other than SUNDAY,
the first day of the week-emphatcally the Lord S
day, the day set apart and hitherto observed by all
religious and moral men even, as a sacred day-a
day which God calls his own, and which no poti-
cal party but the Liberty Party-the self styled
Christian pariy-in New England, has yet desc
Grated, by the holding of political conventional
day which none but the Liberty Party have yet
dedicated TO the discussion of party politics.
What torrent of wrath would have been poured
out on the heads of the ,oicked, unchrstian Wings,
If they had appointed political convention on the
Sabbath. How some of the leaders of this Liberty
Party would have paraded their pharisaical coun.
tenances through the streets, on every linenmcnt
of which would have been painted, ''stand aside, |
am holier than thou"
How often have we heard the leaders of this con-
scientious party in our village, appeal to men, and
ask them show they could vote for Henry Clay,
a duellist and murderer, being professors of rel-
gon ?" We will just remind them that if there be
a commandment which saith "1'hou shalt not
Kill, there is another which comes before it, and
which saith "Remember the Sabbath day TO keep
it holy" But why quote scripture TO men who are
wiser than revelation, and who are law unto them.
selves, having an inner light, which they say is
safer guide than the light of Gods word.
Gerrit Smith we know, last year preached Liber-
ty party politics on Sundays, in the State of New
York, but we did not believe that the land of the
Purtans was so soon to be desecraed.
We suppose, however, that they 90 on the prn-
cple of the man who committed murder Sun
day. "that the better the day the better the deed"
That it deed Of iniquty is TO be done, it had bet
ter be done a sacred day, that its holiness may
purify the act.
Lewis Clark tehite Stare, men of Vermont on
Sunday the first day of September is coming 10 lee.
tuTe you on the SUBJECT of liberty. You, men of
the Green Mountain State, on SUNDAY are TO be
taught by white slave what liberty is.
But this violation of the Sabbath has got to be
now, suppose, part of the Liberty party creed,
for we are informed that the Office of their candi-
date for Congress was open on last Sabbath from
morn till night and filled with abolition politicians,
whose noisy discussion disturbed the passers by,
their way to church. To vote for man who sin.
ned years ago, and has repented is dreadfulhorri-
ble-wcked, but TO violate the sacredness of the
Sabbath, and break of Gods commandments,
and vote for those who do so, is all right, provided
he only belongs TO the Liberty party The first Sab
bath Of September is, we believe, the communion
Sabbath of al! tile orthodox Congregational church
es in this county We know ii is, of the church
in this village.
Some of the leaders of that party here, whom we
have in minds eye, and who want their breth-
rem of the church disciplined, because they won't

the communion at noon, then take the tokite Stare
into their wagon, (as he is to lecture here on
Saturday night, Aug. the 3Ist, and OF course II
he goes to Putney, he must go on Sunday0 and
ride to Putney in the afternoon attend political
caucus in the evening, and with their lips yet wet
with the wine of the communion, will shout huzzas
for James G.. Birney and shed crocodile tears over
the wickedness of their fellow professors who vote
for Henry Clay, but who yet believe that II is best
to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy
! Reader, are we severe We mean TO be So
We are sick of this miserable hypocrisy, and Phar-
sacal pretension
