rs decisive omen against the present project; and
they are therefore urging rally of the Locofocra-
cy for future, and still stronger efforts, at the next
session of Congress. In the mean time, if an ex-
ira session shall not be called at early day, the
States will have opportunity to utter their voice
upon the question, in the elections of 1e45. Con-
necticut and Rhode Island lead off-Virginia, Ten
nessee and Indiana each have u. S. Senator to
elect; the results of the elections in these States
are therefore TO be looked for with deep interest.
Vermont too, will have an opportunity to speak in
September ay, the frcemen of the 4th districtmny,
if they will, give instructions 10 Mr.. Dillingham;,
such as he cannot resist without manifest contempt
of the will of the people. We trust then, that ev-
cry freeman of Vermont will bear in mind that he
has work to do to resist the perpetuation and in
crease of slavery. Wings Let us work with a
will rown upon every attempt to dsunite or draw
off your strength by third partyism na,iveisn, or
any other ism. As Wings, we have long and nobly
resisted the slavocracy; as Wings we can and
ought still to do so; nor will the Wings Of Yer
mont stand alone. The Wings of Massachusetts
are with us on this ground--thc Wings Of New
York are coming to it with new zeal-the Wings
of all the free States, and goodly host in the
Slave States, will also be with US in resistance to
Annexation.
The Syracuse IN. " Western State Journal
concludes long and able article on the duty and
policy of the Wing party with the following:
"Thc deadly peril which has beset the Republic,
in the hideous shape of Texan Annexation, over
flows all minor considerations, and should suppress
every selfish partisan feeling, in the anxious
search and devisement of cornteracting remedy.
But we cannot permit ourselves to be parayzed by
the immnency of the danger which threatens the
Union, or to be enamored Of the Demon, Slavery,
Of whose power and purposes we have had such
recent demonstrations. We, by no means, regard
the Texas question as settled. The War for Free
dom has Just begun, as we have said before. We
have barely witnessed the opening scene of the
Grand Drama of the Battle for Human Rights The
encroachments Of Slavery are not the less or intol
cradle, for having been partially successful. WE
MEAN TO RESIST THEM, NOW AND FOR
EVER! When driven from one nrcnchment, we
will take refuge in another. When Texas shall be
pronounced member Of this Union, we will pro-
test When the next Slave State, carved out Of
the spoliated provinces Of enieebed Mexico, shall
knock for admission into the Conlederacv we shall
be able to answer the demand with IRE kno,r vol
not!' Nor shall we always be content to act on
the defensive III It's eher's TO extend itself, and
