M Dear S:r--On my return from Orange
County find your very kind letter of the 10Th
inst. | regret that missed an interview with
you IN Albany.
You do me no more than Justice in surprising
that shall continue the contest, Or rather my
exerticns in the contest. for Human Rights with
az much zeal as ever. BIT | am conlounded for
ia of
tho perils to which the cause of Freedom is ex.
posed, by the sad result Of the recent election.
Ii would be unsvaillnE Tor you aad me to dispute
about tic responsibilities lorethat result. The
same wide difference Of opinion that mas hitherto
existed, il regard 10 Gar respective courses, re-
mains But we have neveItnelsssa common de-
votion To tic c0mmon cause All the efforts OF
all sincere lovers oil freedom viii be necessary to
oyertakc the triumphant spirit OF Slavery and
trammel up the consequences OF the sanction of
tic Conquest of Texas by the American People.
You are committed 10 the Liberty Party mode
ofproceeding. find the Wing Party like what
| always loved to imagine it, firm, fearless re-
solved In the very hour OF his defeat. believe
it wiling, and yet capable, 20 take the cause OF
freedom into its keeping. AS yet see 10 rea-
son, and much less apparent reason now than
heretofore to distrust its instincts Of Liberty and
Humanity. Unaer these circumstances shall
cheeriuy abide its dcstncs, and wait for the de-
veopment of circumstances and occasions, which
will show In what quarter and in what manner
the great war, in which we have lost so impor-
TAM II battle, is to tie recommended.
Ii your eng gcments lead you westward, l
shall be very happy TO sec you and 10 converse
with you freely upon the present posture of pub
lie affairs and the best manner OF conducting IN
regard to them with reference 10 the sabvcTsion
OF slavery.
believe me always sincerely,
