~ The following resolution was recent
ly passed at a 81 party Convention, Leld =,
Morrisville, Lamoille Co. vi.
"Resolved, That the unexamplee 6de Iiiy
with which the. whig and democratic rarties
adhere TO The interests Of slavery, and their
utter refusal TO take efficient measures for its
overthrow. is proof sufficient that The only
hope Tor the cause Of freedom is in The sue
cess OF the Liberty party"
1t is an easy thing 10 write and rass rcso-
lurions. ltis an easy thing ,odenounce men
and things. But it is no proof that because
men or parties are denounced by the whole
sale, hat they are verify guilty. The above
resolution in part speaks The truth, and in
part u,,ers a falsehOod. We should like to
know how The wing party " adhere TO the
interests OF slavery"-and that,oo with SON.
exampled fidelity" That the Loco Foco
party have and still do "adhere 10 the inter.
ests Of slavery. we 60 not deny. Indeed
no sober rational man will deny it. with Tex
az, Florida, ct cetcra, before his eyes. The
broad assertion that the whig party refuseto
take efficient measures to overthrow slavery,
is so destitute Of truth, rs nj once 10 expose
the authors of such a sentimen: to contempt
and scorn. Look at the action of the party
in Congress upon the right Of petition, the
admission of Florida with perpetual slavery.
Upon all these questions Of the whig party
with n united front advanced against slavery.
Where arc the lrddhig men ofthe party upon
these quesiions7 Do they come down and
worship at the TIN one Of slavery7 By no
means. Do the party rs a render TO
slavery its adulaiion ofpraise7 Do the edi.
tors of The wing newspapers gloriiy the pa
iriarchs. ins,itntionP Do they justify its
abuses ard gross enormiiies7 Do they
gloss over its hnggard features with aPoli-
gies, communication and fai,ery7 No man
can say they To.
Bring Ike question closer home. Does
the wing party of Tern,ont bow down To
praise slavery-its abetlors, CT promo:ers7
Does not the wing press thunder It's anarhe-
mas against The encroachmcnis of slavery,
the extension Of is over, The multiplicity If
its evils, and the enorniity of it's lracriccsl
Look at the leading wings among her states
men. We do not sec them in State or
County Convention endorsing slavery with
Texas, &C.. rs the Locofocos have done.
II is true that nj Il recent Locnfoco Convrn-
lion, the admission of Texas was justified n.
extending the area OF freedom &c. This
was in resolution. But nowhere do we Gnl
such an insult 10 the good sense of Vermont,
committed by Wings in their Conversions.
They uniformity denonnec The Project as in
iquftous, unconstitutional, originating in Nv

and those who throw up their caps rs rank
and fill with a loud hurrah for Texas and
slavery. Iii. TO the wings that the nation
