who think one way and act another--but
of true democratic candidates. Let no
man use it for the election of Slave repub-
Iican candidates, who talk OF TARIFFS,
and live upon unpaid labor, but true re-
publican candidates. who believe in giving
to every innocent man his freedom, and
the avails of his labor.
Reader, am about to part with you.
| ask you for one favor. 1t is this: that
you will investigate the principles and
policy of the Liberty Party. Turn them
over, look closely, scrulinize them strict
ly - and then decide, as an honest man.
whether the time has not come for you TO
go TO the ballot box with higher purposes,
and a oflier enthusiasm, than such as
would move you to the election of slave
holder, or the apologist of slaveholders,
TO the Presidential chair. If any tells
you that we have but one idea that binds
US together, he tells you the truth; but
cur one idea is the one for which the
Revol utionary War was fought One,
TO maintain, expand, and dignity which,
the republic was founded. Ole which
all tyrants Observation-Disclosures among the
rest. An idea no less glorious and com.
prehensive than this that man is man,
wherever you find him, with inaienable
rights to LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pur-
suit of happiness; and that the worst use
you can put him TO. is 10 make him
slave, or sustain those in offices Of trust
who make him such.
lfany one tells you we cannot succeed
look back to our origin and progress
From 1910 10 l843 the liberty party, in
spite of all the maIisnity and contempt
which both the great parties conld pour
upon it., has doubled its vote each year,
in each State where it is formed.
Now suppose it gains for five years to
come, as for three years past, say
1913, in the free States 65 900
1914 :: ...... 100000
1919. 200, 1000
1916. ........... 500 900
l04(. :. 100000
1913. ..,... 1850, 900
Now, can any reasonable man tell US
what should hinder US from making this
increase? Are not our principles as just
as in the government of God? and is not
slavery the deepest, most damning curse
that ever afflicted the race? And is not
STAKEHOLDER the meanest and most wick
ed criminal that ever walked,
"Unwhipped ofJusticcl''
And is not the ballot-box the appropriate
spot, where 10 expcnd freeman's power
IN behalf OF right principles, right govern
ment, and against foul oppression? And
are we TO be kept from success because,
for years, the two great parties have alb
sorbed all the voting power of the people,
and spent it upon issues, such as, whether
The public funds shall be kept in United
States Bank, or in Sub.Treasury2 Or
the manufacturer shall be pro-

Then Gods government and his agen-

his authority in this world are TO be

Heaven the principles of the liberty
party are laid deep in the consciousness
of all men. When appealed to, the true
