Charles Burchard's Letter,

On my last trip for subscribers | heard
prominent Wings in different towns lauding
very highly the recent letter from the above
named individual on the duty of abolilionsts
voting for Henry Clay for the next Presi-
dent of the United States. This was the
Big gun'-lhe 'Peacemakr' that was 60,
ing TO move Liberty Party men from their
untenable position. This contained the ar.
gument that no one could refute. called
for the letter, but found no copy that could
be spared when could wait to read When
returned found the letter in nearly all the
Wing papers with which l exchange, and
perused il. had made up my mind that if
the letter was worth commenting upon,
would copy it, and append such remarks as
J should deem appropriate. Ialso found on
my return, the communication from John
Conant Esq, which appears too day, request
ing The insertion of Mr. Burchards letter.
There was hot room last week for the two,
when the request came. II is now cheer
fully inserted, and would have been had not
the request been presented, as consider the
shutting out from anti-slavery papers, what
Wings and Democrats call their strongest
arguments against our position, short sight
ed policy. Discussion is what is to draw
the attention OF people to the rights If the
slave, and the good of the country at large,
and the truth and sound reasoning will pre-
vail with unbiased minds. will now pro-
coed with the Letter, and should leave
important points untouched, or not fully
brought out and answered, there will be
room for further investigation by others

Accessions to the Liberty Party.

Access1onS TO the Liberty faftys
We are daily receiving intelligence OF
the rapidly increasing strength of our
partyW If signs can be relied upon it is
evident that there will be such change
In this Congressional District, by the next
election, as will bring as'onishment and
confusion 10 our enemies.
In some precincts of Will, Du Page
Kane, Kendall, and some other counties,
we understand there has been complete
overlurning, and both parties are going
for Henderson, Brney, and Liberty. In
one precinct every member OF the Demo
cratic Committee had been converted, and
when required to call Democratic pre-
cinct meeting, they responded by calling
a genuine Liberty meeting at the time
and Place which had been set apart for
Poke Democracy. At late special cleo.
lion for Justice of the Peace in Whining.
ton precinct, Will county, the Liberty
candidate was elected over the combined
opposition of Wings and Democrats, and
at the same time thirteen Liberty votes
were held in reserve. Peter Stewart has
carried the Liberty and The Temperance
pledges some weeks past in his pocket,
which he has offered for signatures when
ever opportunity has presented. The old
gentleman showed US the list at Juliet.
when it had eighty voters upon it, all of
his precinct. ln this way the old Scotch.
man has carried the precinct in true Rob
ert Bruce style. This is the way to work.
The following is all extract from let
ter which we have just received from De
Kalb county:
The Texas question has done much to
arouse the attention Of those who had here.
tofore given the subject but little attention.
The Liberty party is rapidly gaining in
this county Ihave myself heretofore act
ed with the Democratic party. but Polk,
Texas, Dallas and slavery, is more than
I could stand. What little exertion is left
10 me, will hereafter be devoted, trust,
to the cause ohhuman Liberty. We want
tracts and papers for gratuitous disribu>
,ion. am myself poor, but if had the
Documents | could do the cause much
good. Cannot our friends in Chicago
send me some l."
Nearly the same signs of encourage
ment have come TO US from all parts OF
the State, where there has been any or.
gained effort Over these prospects we
have been but little disposed to brag,
choosing rather to let the truth alone do
Its appropriate work, at the same time re-
Numbering that if we made slower pro-
gress by such course, it would be sure,
and we never should afterwards be found
upon the back track. And we have had
enough to do to chronicle the proceedings
and record our progress, without turning
aside to crow over our success, or spend
our time in ffattering and complimenting
the labofcrs engaged in the work.

thority; and in all his relations as cit
zen, husband, and father. he is unexcep'
iionabe and exemplary. AS master he
is proverbally kind and indulgent.
Unless we act upon the principle that
we will vote for no man who is not a
Christian, it is not easy 10 draw the line
defining the extent of moral qualification
which ought to satisfy our conscience
It is clear, however. the Christians duty
10 withhold his vote from every man OBJ
viously wanting in moral integrity, and
voluntarily addicted to vice. To put Mr.
Clay in this class, would, have no doubt,
be foul SANDER In the coming contest
however, the great issue. which think
have fairly stated, sinks the respective can
didates as individuals very much out of
view. They are to be regarded rather
as the opponents of two widely different
and adverse policies If one succeeds, we
are to have slaveholding nation whose
Inhabitants rebeIed from their rightful
government and conquered free country
and cursed its virgin soil by planting up
on it the foulest system of oppression on
which the sun ever shone, yoked in the
car of our destiny; by which act we shall
plunge into bloody war, saddled with
debt of uncounted milions-the organic
law Of our glorious constitution destroyed,
the political relations between the north
and south changed-the demon of slavery
placed upon throne high and lifted up
where he can laugh to scorn our puny
efforts to delhrone him; and our country
made a Kissing and by>word through
out the civilized world. And all this 10
please the unblushing advocates of per.
pe.ual slavery, and a Sc: of unprinciped
and selfish Spectators in Texas land
script. The notion of the southern an
nexatonists is open and avowed. 1t is TO
extend and secure the peculiar inslnu-
hon. The correspondence connected
with the late Treaty negotiations show
this beyond contradiction. This view ofI
the question cannot be blinded.
If the other succeeds, then all the evils
we have enumerated will be averted. We
shall have no Texas, no war, no change
in the constitution, no national disgrace,
and the peculiar institution in our coun-
Try left as it is, TO stand or fall upon the
territory it has already cursed and with
cred and exhausted of life, subject to the
influences which are now successfully as
sailing it What Halter OF slavery-what
lover of his country, can hesitate as to the
course OF duty in this crisis?
Thus have imperfectly set forth my
views ofpefsonal duty in the approaching
canvass. | felt it due 10 friends with
whom | have politically acted for some
time past to be thus frank, that they might
understand and appreciate. my motives
/ wish to act openly and honestly in all
that l do, ard refrain from every thing
which | should feel ashamed to have pro-
claimed from the house-tops. A great
and fearful crisis, in my opinion, presses
upon this nation. wish so 10 disc barge
my duty in reference TO it as to preserve
q conscenc void of offence towards God
