CONSIDERATIONS FOR HONEST
VOTERS

1t is seldom thata voter can be found in this
ballot with a view to the abolition of the abomin-
able system of American Slavery. There are
some, to he sure, who assert that we have no re-
sponsbity in the case, and can do nothing to build
up or pull down slavery; and, perhaps, now and
then, may DO found one of those "cutanenus De-
mocrats, > who agree with McDuffie, that the cap
italist should own the Iaborer, and that slavery is
the corner stone of our republic. But to neither of
these classes do we now speak, We would say
a word in the ears of that numerous class who
have seen and felt to some extent, the astounding
developments that have been made within the
last few years of the direct agency of the General
Government in defending and building up The sys-
tenn of slavery; and who, in view of the power of
the North to control the action of the General
Government, acknowledge their responsibility,
aud express a desire to know how to properly dis
charge it.
To our view, it is perfectly plain, that if we
would change the course of our Government upon
the subject of slavery, we must place it in differ
emf hands from either wings OF democrats, who
have alternately We'd with each other in accom-
pshing the very ends which we would defeat; but
B multtudes of people, as honest as we are, still
believe the work can be done by one of the old
parties, we are bound to give them line upon line,
and abide the silent workings of truth.
/ Some of this class have belonged to- and still act
with, the so-called Democratic party; though VIC
confess our inability to discover how they could
maintain conscience void of offence in support
ing the administration of Mr. Van Buren,, with hi:
vetoes in advance, and the gog-aws of the party
during his administration-in sacrificing Mr. Var
Buren, so readily the moment he spoke like a free
man upon the Texas question, for more plan

MAINE.--The Liberty State Convention at
Portland on the Sd and 4th inst, was well attend
ed and a most harmonious, efficient powerful
convention Gen. Appleton declined the nomin-
alton of Governor, and Gen Samuel Fessenden
was unanimously nominated. The Boston Ghron-
icle says;
"No more worthy nomination could be made
than that of Gen. Fessenden. At the head of the
bar in his State, an exemplary Christian, a deyot-
ed philanthropist, fearless advocate Of all the OPP
pressed, from the beginning identified with the am
t-slavery cause, we agree with the Liberty Stand
ard that ft is an honor to our cause and to the
Liberty party to place on its banner the name OF
SAMUEL FEssENDEN,a las the representative aud ex-
ponent of our great obect-THE EQUALITY
IOF ALL MEN BEFORE THE LAW. Who
ever votes for him, votes for that object; whoever
votes against him, votes for its opposite. A more
worthy or more eminent candidate for governor
was never placed before the people of Maine for
their sufirages, and in iaborlng for his election We
seek not only the advancement of the great cause
of human freedom with which he is identified, bu
the highest honor of the State. We must not he
satisfied with less than 10000 votes for Gen. FEES
senden."

GENERAL CONTENTION.

The last Ptrnont Chronicle takes us to task for
not having published note that accompanied the
proceedings of the late General Convention in ex-
PLANTATION of its silence upon the subject of slavery
We saw the note of Mr.. Merrill at the time. but
in all charity, thought it only made the bad matter
worse. The paper is not where we can put our
hand on it, although we have taken some pains to
obtain one but if our memory serves US, the
explanation amounts to this: Mr. Merrill, of
Peacham, a member Of the convention, was called
away to attend wedding during the session of
the convention, and on returning, towards the
close of the session, was informed that dependence
had been, in measure, placed upon him to pre-
pare paper upon the subject of slavery IF this
is not right, we will be happy to make it So
Now, the burden of our grief is, not that Mr.
Merrill was called away to wedding, but that the
convention sent the cause of the slave begging
in this way, while matters of Infinitely less inipor-
lance were made the subject of elaborate report
and discussion. 1t certainly seems as if the con-
vention, on this occasion, were called upon in
trumpet tones to give serious consideration to the
question of slavery, aud vindcate the bible from
the charge Of countenancng this vile iniquity.-
There was DR.. Janeway representative of the
Presbyterian General Assembly, with the resolu-
ton upon his lips that Christ and the apostles
count2nanced slave holding, and that it was not o
dsciplinabIe offence in ourchurches and yet he
was received by this convention with unbounded
christian charity and fellowship Had DR.. j. been
sent out by the General Assembly after the pas
sage of resolution that adultery, robbery, theft,
or even dancing, were not disciplnable offences
think you he would have got off without rebukes
But he came, and went, without even the shadow
Of reproof, because the convention did not deem,
the subject OF sufficient Importance to merit their
formal consideration!
E5-We publish, in another column, series of
resolutions on the subject of slavery, passed by
the General Convention in former years We
have not room this week for few thoughts sug-
gested by the pcrusal Of them.

siastical rampant round the inolerable insti-
tuition of savery;''and that'the whole civil
zed world will and must recognise it, sum-
mariIv, as a mighty schiSm in complete alli-
ance with the great moral disgrace of our
country" the Zion's Herald, of Boston,
adds
"Thus it stands, and now what will be
the issues? Many, no doubt. which will
furnish a strange chapter in the history Of
the age; one most certainly will follow,
namely, the refusal of amicablc relations
by all Christian bodies, in Europe and
America, all except those which are included
within the scathed territory Of slavery itself"
This, obviously, viii be the next practical
question VIII the Methodist Episcopal Church,
North, maintain fraternal relations and inter
change fraterna office with the Methodist Epls-
copal Church Southland ifthey will not, will
the Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada, OF
Great Britain, or anywhere else in Christendom
do it! The same question will come among the
Babtists and others, And when it comes to that
and Christendom repels the Shareholders advan-
ces, and leaves them to their solitary grandeur,
we suspect the shoe will pinch!

Miss WEBsTER's TEML.-This work has at
length appeared: pamphlet of some 80 pages,
price % cents. Our thanks are due the authoress
for copy
We have not finished the perusal of the book,
but as far have gone, it is deeply interesting
1t fully acquits Miss W. of the unjust aspersions
cast upon her, and places the chiYalrous slave
holders of Kentucky in no very enviable Light
Miss Webster is not quite so much ofon abolition
ist, in some respects, as we could wish but that
she is anti slavery, think there can be no doubt
The book is richly worth purchasing. Where it
is to be had we are not informed, but presume
of the authoress, at Yergemes.

SLAvEHoLDNc MlNIsTER,-The following
specimen of the loneliness of sIavehoIding
Christianity, is extracted from speech by
Rev. DR.. Capcrs Of Charleston, S. G. "a the
late Methodist Southern Convention at Lou-
isville, Ky.
"UnIess we separate" said the Doctor
we shall have to quit the South; for Southern
men will not hear, or suffer the slaves to
hear, men who adhere to the General
Conference. Hence it is matter of absolute
necessity. It's separation or inevitable ruin
to the church throughout the entire South
said Doctor Capers with great earn
estncss, " to tell the Mcthodists to obey the
General Conference. could do no greater
evil even if | were to destroy my own SOU
and body in He'll I would rather murder
my own mothcr's son, aye my own mother
than do it. Because in that, the church
would not be a milionth part so much IN
.jnrcd as i'll should adhere to the Genera
Conference"

A "Thlrd Party" IS little inconyenent, after
all, and we don't know but it ought to be aban-
doncd. For instance-thc whig and democratic
parties have been in the habit of charging upon
each other every imaginable deficiency in the po-
liticaI, moral, social, and even natural world; and
now, that third party, opposed to both, has
sprung up, their maledictions must be divided
and it sometimes makes confusion. Thus, in the
late Franklin County wing Convention they
wanted to charge the defeat of Clay aud the ex-
tension of slavery, both upon the Liberty party
and the locofocos; but this wouldn't do. SO they
split the difference, and resolved that the defeat Of
Clay was chargeabIe upon the election frauds of
the locofocos, and that the Liberty party had ex-
tended and perpetuated slavery

were present; viz: Bishops Heddng Waugh Nor
