Approaching Election.

As party, the Wings of Vermont have ev-
or stood upon elevated ground; and they have
been victorious beyond precedent; and al
though our candidate, in the great struggle
at the last Presidential election, was defeated,
unexpectedly defeated; although in many
States where the Wing party was in the as
cendaDcy, the Democratic party gained I'M
expected advantages, we believe that facts
will bear us out in saying that such advanta-
ges were gained by illegal roting-that our
opponents gained their temporary victory by
GROSS FRAUD In all preceding contests,
violent as they often were, and embittei ed at
times by personal as well as political
animosities, the efforts of the contending
parties had it for their object 10 influence the
opinions and judgement Of voters. There
might have heen exceptions TO this observa-
ton; but if the purity Of the elective franchise
had not always been as sacred as it ought to
be, we believe that previous to the last cleo
ton there had never been asystematic design,
deliberately formed and carried out. or an
attempt seriously made, 10 control and fran
chise, and disgrace the ballot-box offrcemen,
BY corruption and fraud. That such an at
tempt was made at the last election by the
Polk party, now in power, we have not
single DOUBT. ENORMOUS SUMS Vi inOHty
were raised and expenjed-not to purchase
American votes. but to grin foreign rofes-the
votes of European paupers The great mass
of American citizens are too independent and
virtuous to be corrupted-and they voted as
they should Ote-indcpendently; they voted
right. But we say it, End we challenge proof
to the contrary. that to foreigners, and not to
our own citizens, does MIR. Polk and the party
now in power owe their Offices.
To prevent similar deceptive electioneering
tickets being carried out in this State isit that
we now urge the Wing party to renewed ex-
ertion. We feel confident Of success, and
shall most surely be victorious if we DO OUR
DUTY. Our opponents, flushed with victory
at the Presidential contest, and knowing by
what means that victory was gained, will try
the same game at the coming State election !;
but in the apathy of the Wings alone can
they have any possible chance OF success
BE prepared, then, to meet them, TO WATCH
THEM, AND TO GUARD THE BALLOT.
ROX! Beprepared honestly, faithfully and
fully to do your duty; be perseveriDg, active,
vigilant, and you will be 81 fe.-Beito,cs Falls

1.-THE LIBERTY PARTY PRESS

The Abolition Press, like the Leaders of
the Abolition Party, continue TO hold and put
forth the most absurd sentiments. Their at
tacks upon JoHN QUINcr ADAMS, G. NJ.
CLAY, &c. though at first blush exciting in
dignaiiOn, really do good. The cause Of
Anii-Slavery is of itself attractive, Tut the
conduct Of its Champions IS iepulsivc. There
are latent sympathies for the cause OF Eman-
cipation in every bosom. These, under prop
err influences, would be kindlcd into zeal and
activity. But ultraism in philanthropy, like
Fanaticism in Religion, runs every thing I'M
der. The Liberty Party" as constituted,
can do nothing but mischief 1t is fortunate,
therefore, that its Press and Leaders conduct
so badly as TO keep it comparatively feeble.
WILLIAM SLApE, the present Governor of
Vermont, as is known to the " hole country,
is distinguished, devoted and fearless advo-
cate Of EMANCIPATION. He stood up in
Congress. for twelve years, the steady and ell
oquent friend of the Slave. JOHN QUIScY

America, in reference TO Slavery, what VIII

The Editor the FREEMAN" Liberty
Pary' paper published at Little Falls, has
addressed a Letter TO the "Voiers of his ma
rive town in Vermont" imploring them not
to vote for Gov. SLADEi We ask attention
to the following extract from the Letter.
Albany Erening Journal.
"Such is the man of whose claims William
Slade is the open and avowed advocate. And
you have given 8 majority for William Slade
as the Governor Of your State And yet
William Sade claims to be an enemy to Sla

you who voted for him doubtless deemed that
you were discharging your duty. Alas, what
a great and fatal errori | hesitate MOTTO say
that your duty would have been better dis
charged, and more acceptahly TO the Great
Master before whom we are all to answer for
our deeds in this life, had you cast your votes
for the poorest, most ignorant and most de-
graded slave on Mr.. Clay's plantation, as
candidate for Governor Of your State. He.
at least could not have welded and exerted
the influence possessed by William Slade, on
the side of the robber and oppressors."
Such is the language and such the senti-
ment of Liberty Party" Editor! Are
such men corrupt or insane! One OF the 9TH

THE WOOL-GROWER INIsiI and 4;

1t was every where predicted, by the
Wings at least, one year ago, that. if James
X. Polk and his party should triumph in the
Presidential election the interests of the far
mer and workingmen of the free States would
suffer detriment. This was seen as inevita-
ble-something that would take place as
natural consequence growing out of the hos
tility OF that party, as whole, 10 the pros
.peiity ofsomc of the leading agricultural and
other industrial interests of The free States.
1t would not be necessary EVENT. was argued.
for the repeal Of the Tariff to effect lhis-the
fact Of the triumph gifts enemies would rem
der IFS continuance so uncertain that the
monied men OF the country would not dare TO
risk investments in those large enterprises
which consume great amounts of certain
products oflabor-and particularly the manu-
facture of woolens. This business requires
heavy out-lays-and long period Of time to
turn the money invested in The raw material
back again into the hands of the person in

but not so with investments in wool.
Hence we see the cotton manufactures are
fourishing the large wooden manufactures
arc not doing more than 2-3ds as much as
they might do. And here lies the secret of
the small competition in wool buyine and of
low prices. The owners nDder existing cir
cumstances care very little whether they work
their mills or not. If they should buy wool
atAast years prices, they fear the tariff will
be cut down and our ports open to British
manufactures before they could manufacture
the wool and get their money again. And is
not this apprehension sencrali 1t seems to
be. And why should it not be, while the or
gan of the administration speaks daily Of The
members ofthe Cabinet being engaged in pre-
pairing plan TO destroy the protective fea-
lures of the Tariff at the very next session Of
Congress: Even the friends of The President
believe 1t will be so-elsc why do they not
show their confidence in The Continuance of
the Tariff andbuy up the wool al prices for
which it sold last year, Some of them are
manufacturers and others have abundance OF
money. But they do not dare to buy large

| 1t is well known that the two prime OBJ
iects ofIhc Southern loco nabobs at the Bal
limorc Convention in putting down Van
Buren, and putting up Polk were the desfruc-
ton of protective tariff aud the annexation
Of Texas. Ii was well known that Polk was
deadly foe to protection, and so declared
himself in more than one hundred aud fifty
speeches made in his gubernatorial canvass
with Governor Jones inlSi3. On Wool cs-
pcciaIly, he used The following iauguage>lons

longs to the Sias Wright school, who in Ia
43 declared in the Senate that he was OPP

red uction from an average of 40 down to 25
per cent, and that in 1874 he was the father
OF the Mckay bill, which would have pro-
duced this result,-that Robert ]. Walker in
1874 introduced bill into the Senate. the
object of which was to annhilate all tariff, by
resort to direct ,n.-That Cave John
son, who when the present. tariff was under
consideration in the House, proposed 10 re-
duce the duty on all wool to 20 per cent, and
said ne was not in favor of protection to the
growers of wool or any other interest except
as incidental to the raising of revenue. This
latter sentiment has all along, for six years,
been uniformly advocated by General Jack
