pier man.
When education is placed within the
reach Of the masses, aud when they be.
come owners of the sell, we need have no
fear about the perpetuiiy of freedom, or Of
our institutions; the former will give him
a just conception Of the blessings TO &c de-

strongest interest that can be made 10 pre-

blessings, enjoyed by the people with
proper moral, and religious restraint, form
the strongest safeguard against external
and internal foes, than can in anv ever be
made by a nation. Standing armies, na-
vies and Notifications, are as nothing in
comparison; these in the hands Of a mer-

submission TO tho acquisitions OF the slaveocracy up
their northern allies And manly does no bear
himself in his position. This party has taken upon
itself the monster Slavery and demands that all Of its
| members should yield obedience and engrAn upon
the other creeds of their party the principle that slave
ry is the proper and legitimate basis Of the "demo
cratic platform" lie rebelIed, and went before his
party last March in the New Hampshire Election, and
though Pounced upon by all the ocooco prints of the
State a traitor, he obtained 1000 votes lie goes
again before the solCstyled democracy Of his State
upon this question, and is exposing the scheme by
which the Polk leaders seeking to bring the de-
mOcrocy' ortho north into all the rapacious schemes
by which the shareholders are aiming to extend
and build up the slave system lie refuses to come
into these sohomes-and for so doing he is denounc-
ed by the leaders of his party a renegade and
traitor, Gen. Jackson denounced tho wings for op.
posing annexation.
Unlike Hale, The Polk leaders in Vermont have
given in their unqualified adhesion to tho acquisitions
OF the slaveocrats Of the South, and at their State
Convention at Mddlebury "rejoiccd" in prospect OF
the speedy contamination orthe "Texas iniquity."
Thus they have presented TO the honest liberty
loving freemen Of their party, to be decided upon in
September, the question, will they adopt this new
test-consent to acknowledge part Of their creed
and as democratic, the sentiment tina: slavery is the
cornerstone Of our republican edfce?
1t remains to be what such members of the
locofoco party will do win they, like Hale, refuse
to yield obedience to the behess of the Slave power
