The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1844-07-04

In 1910, at this time, the Harrison in
fuence upon abolitionists was such, that
disconinuances of the Aboltionist were
coming in at the rate, sometimes, OF fifty
to a hundred a day. In some places, some
Jealous Wing would go round to the sub.
scribers and get the whole list to STOP
The list fell off, in short time, from $500
to 1900, on account of our support of the
Liberty party. Now we circulate $500
weekly, and the new subscribers come in
faster than the old ones fell off. Such is
the change in four years. Who now re-
grets his enlistment in the forlorn hope+oi
that day ?-EmancapGtOr.
TExAs-The Times takes ground very
decidedly, since the nomination of Polk
for the annexation of Texas We sup
pose the Democratic papers will gener-
ally follow suit-but not all of them. The
N. Y. Evening Post opposes the insane
project with great zeal-but with grea-
ter inconsistency, supports the Baltimore
Convention. Alas! that such a spirit as
Bryants should bow SO servilely to the
slavery of Party! There arc not few
Democrats in New England who are
hostile to annexation. Can they longer
support party that has virtually pledged
itselfto the support of this measure, SO
earnestly desired by the Slave Power for
strengthening the dominion of slavery
Will they thus peril the dearest inter
ests Of the north in obedience to party
dictation? Have they utterly surrendered
their manhood, till they are content to be
mere puppets, to dance as others may
pull the wires! If not, now is the time for
them to assert their freedom. Let them
clear their skirts ofthis Texas conspiracy
and Of all allegiance to the Slave Power
at the same time, and, when they next &C
10 the ballotbox, vote, not for Polk and
Texas, not for Clay and Slavery, but
for BIRNEY and LIBERTY!

any such rumor, we must confess. But how
far, and to what extent, Mr.. Polk may object to
