tant and absurd notions now prevailing,
and the man who refuses to eat with an
other first because he is laborer, is
possessed of a narrow mind and heart
counter to righteousness. But, should
the people ofthis, or any other town, a.
dept the plan of having all things COM
mon, so far as property is concerned, and
the different individuals remain unconver-
ter to the principles of doing their share
and of doing right in other things
| see not but the same or nearly the same
difficulty would exist as named by friend
Southworth in the present case. For if
the property was held jointly, and no one
could draw but his or her liAing, it is
my opinion that many who now labor
from the propelIing motive power of saves
ing what they earn, would not see the
same object in view, and would do no
more than they considered necessary
These suggestions are thrown out as they
occur to my mind, without going into the
merits of the case.

i look about, if indeed, they cannot refuse
to vote for STAKEHOLDER for the very rea.
son that he is slave holder. This is
the climax of subserviency to the slave
power, and the author will have rea son to
complain, if his southern masters do moi
give him some good, fat office. They
need not fear his abolitionism, but may be
sure that he is proslavery, sound TO the
core. l am sorry, that any citizen OF
Vermont, should say, "That is rank fam
atheism, contempt of law and order, a
wicked rifing with moral and cOnstitu-
tional obligations to refuse to elevate slave
holders TO the guidance and direction of
The Americas government All this to
secure the election of Henry Clay wish
to know whether the Wings can swallow
such doctrine. If they can, they will
soon be able TO swallow Texas, or a Brick
Bat, or any other substance, which their
leaders may throw 10 them. A little more
drilling at Washington, and we may ex-
pect that our Representatives will tell us,
that shareholders are the only men, who
are qualified TO hold Office under our
Constitution, and that all are guilty of
Treason, who refuse to vote for them.
Now advise the Citizens of Vermont,
one and all, TO read the Constitution for
yourselves ; and | can assure you, that
you have yet the right to cast your vote
for any naive citizen, who is thirty five
years old, and has resided in the country
fourteen years. Ii Wing leaders may re-
;ect a man because he is a Demo crat, you
may safe y reject any man because he is
a gambler profane swearer, duellisr,
or a STAKEHOLDER. You only follow their
example. lfthey are right, you cant be
wrong. But we must all give an account
to God for our votes, and those that help
the ungody must abide the consequences.

ArR-"The day that we went Gypsying."
We met TO- day, together, friends,
To talk of Freedom here,
And freely speak Of human rights,
A theme to Freemen dear
We met to canvass human wrongs,
To plead for truth and right,
And raise the antslavery flag
To catch the MONDAY light.
We met to-day, together friends,
To rouse in every mind
A feeling, that as Man, we owe
A duty to our kind.
A feeling, that as Man, etc.
And while the slave with hands upraised,

Our shoulders must propel the wheels

With moral sense TO see the right,
And dare that right pursue.

MIR Editor, If rig htfulIy understand the
Hon. Mr.. G;ddings, he assumes. that no
man has right 10 require any qualihca,
lion in a candidate for the Presidency,
which the Constitution does not require ;
that slave holders are as eligible, accord
ing TO the Constitution, as any other men,
and that it is wrong, some thing like Trea-
son for Liberty men 10 refuse to vote for
MIR Clay merely because he is slave
holder, and other Wings have, as | un-
derstand, aboured 10 shape this argument
so as to make capital for The Kentucklan
Shareholder.
The following remarks will help to
understand this formidable argument. LIST
What qualifications does the Constitution
require? Ono person except natural
born citizen OF the United States, at the
time of the adoption of the Constitution,
shall be eligible 10 the office, Of Pres.
ident; neither shall any person be eligible
10 that office, who shall not hove at
tanned to the age of thirty five years. and
been fourteen years resident within the
United Slates' (Constitution) Here is
all The qualification which the Cons'itu-
ton requires in order, that any man, black
or white, should be eligible to the Presi-
dencv, If he be a natural born citizen,
thirty We years old, and have resided in
the country fourteen years. he has all the
qualifications which the Constitution re-
quires. He may be Of any color, of any
religion or of no religion, may be moral
or immoral, may be ignorant or learned,
an honest man Or knave, a friend OF
Liberty or of slavery, an angel or devil,
all are alike eligible according 10 the Con-
s:ution of these United States In this
respect the Constitution takes a wide
sweep is as liberia as any one would wish.
2. The question is then settled, that
Shareholders, slavebreaders, duelists, Roy
al arch masons, horse thieves, gamblers,
Sabbath breakers, and debauchees of eve
nv name, are eligible to the high office Of
President of these United States. No
matter what his origin, what his politics,
what his moral or religious character, ac'
cording 10 the Constitution all eleeligible
to its biggest honoers.

that in giving their votes for President

right to say we will not vote for drunk

ANSWER.

Ia answer To the foregoing, l will say
an important question is propounded, and |
will just give sketch OF my views of what
might be done in tae case supposed, whlc h
may open the way for full discussion Of
the merits Of the question named. In the
first places president of this description
would not nominate men for high Offices
who were in favor of slavery-he would
use his influence to have slavery abolish.
ed in the district of Columbia and Flori.
da and, according TO the opinion ex.
pressed by John Quin cy Adams few
years since, should an instruction of the
slaves take place in any State, the wal
power would have right to remove the
cause of the instruction, (slavery.) Or,
should Foreign foe invade one of the
slave states and the Commander in Chiel
should deem the arming of the slaves,
and promise of freedom necessary to the
defence of the country, he would be fully
authorized to declare every slave IN such
state free. Should Senate Of the Uni
ted States composed of true abolitionisls,
an 'ati-slavery nominee for Postmaster
General, or for Minister to any foreign
Nation, or for any other Office, would moi
be kept in suspense in consequence of his
principles--The slave power would be
kept in its place, or curtailed in such d
way as to aid in causing its death. And
should the House Of Representatives be
composed Of abolitonisls, the Gag rule
would be repealed-free discussion would
take its place, and this body with the Sen
ate and President, would break up the
dens of slave morgers which have so long
infested the District of Columbia, and say
10 every slave there, you are free, and to
the southern gentlemen, your slaves will
be free should YOU bring them into this
