one pledged for IL. To US there appears but
one sensible course to be pursued by every
opponent of slavery in view of present cir.
cumstances: and yet by a hocus -pocus sort
of logic and qui.k in ethcks, which we
confess ourself unable to understand, these
most conscientious moralists attempt to show
that by voting for the wing party, one takes
choice Of evils, which they in ihoir nice dis.
tinction between right e. wrong, contend that
no man has a right to do. But out upon such
Pharisaical humbuggery as this. Does not

Where is the inconsistency. we would ASK

so s,renuously urged upon the considera-

well-earned claims Of Mr. Sade 7 What has
he done, that anti-slavery men should prefer

But we have said more upon this subject than
we had intended, and will only say ia con-

Wing abolitionists Of Rutland county will
hesitate long and ponder well before they
will cast their votes for man comparatively
unknown, a, the suggestion Of such men as
now give character, and color to the liberty
party. Let all bear in mind that Mr. Slade
is strong and ardent advocate OF the anti-
slavery cause, whose heart is in the matter,
and if We elect him we secure a man right
upon this subject and also upon other cues
tons, in which our interests are deeply IN
volved. Let all do their duiy mex, Tuesday
