vention, many of the party may prefer
it; but if those who prefer such a mode
would reflect moment, | think they
would see the error of it, for there is
no probability ofthere being any Coon
candidate in the field. AS the Long
Coon was SO efectually skinned in
l843, certainly none of the smaller
ones would now be soft enough to have
the same painful operation performed
then with majority against them Of
about 600, now majority near 100
against them.
And amongst US there are several
whose claims are advocated by their
respective friends, and should it be
submitted to a Convention, there can
be but one nominee, consequently,
those who are disappointed in getting
the man of their choice, will be more
or less dissatisfied and chagrined -
then, for the better preservation Of har-
mony, let US have selection by the

aa-The last Woodstock Sentinel
suggests the propriety ofholding Dis
trict Convention in Harrisonburg, for
the purpose of nominating candidate
to represent this District in the next
Congress of the United States. 1t
seems to us that this movement on the
part fthe Sentinel, is rather premature.
We. see no necessity, at this time at
least, for Convention; and we are Ger
tainly opposed to any movement of the
kind, unless under the most absolutely
necessitous circumstances. So far as
we can learn, the present worthy in
cumbent has not signified his intention
to decline reelection, and it will be
time enough for us to move in this mat
ter when the field is full Of aspirants,
| and the Wings bring out their candi-
date. The latter event, however, we
do net think likely to occur under any
circumstances, as we do not believe
there is hardly a Wing in the District
| who will again consent torIn the gaunt-
let through the Tenth Legion.
We are pleased to know that each
county in the District can furnish suit
able representative, and we hope all
who have an idea of becoming candi-
dates will do SO once, and let the peo-
pie choose from among them.

without being perfectly satisfied that they
have become lovers of themselves rather than
the slave. They doubtless frs; enlisted in a
political party with extreme reluctance.-
They professed that the only purpose of par
~ organization was the accomplishment OF
the phianthropic purpose of freeing the slave
from bondage. With this object inscribed
upon their banncE,mu of conscientious
and upright men have hocked to theii stan
dard, until at length they find themselves at
the head of go, 600 voters, and believe them-
selves capable al some distant period, OF a.
chewing victory throughout the Union.
The course the Third Party leaders have
pursued in relation to annexation, furnishes
;he most convincing proof OF their abandon
uent of principle. For years they have loud,
iy denounced the annexation Of Texas as a
scheme The most fatal TO the cause of human
freedom. They were not deceived. They
knew we'll that Mr.. Clay and The Wing party
would never annex Texas, and as we'll they
knew that Polk & Loco : ocoism would do itir
they could. Now then comes the test oftheir
hightoned philanthropy. Ii human rights
were nearest their hearts they should have
voted with the Wings against the most daring
scheme that was ever formed for perpetuatng
slavery. But no, no. The Wing party must
be ground 20 powder s. then moulded 10 their |
ambitious purposes. Their blacklist vomits |
of abuse must be poured out upon Mr.. Clay |
and the Wing party, while soft impeaeh
nieut alone is preferred against their oppo-
nents into whose good graces they evidently
iusinuate themselves. Their party ranks
must be preserved unbroken. They would
even prefer to go with the Calhouns and
McDufiies rather than vote with the Wings,
regardless OF the Third party asccndancy.
Thus then ii is that humanity is sacrificed
on the shrine Of party, ani the noble cause Of

organization by which these apostate philan-
Ihropists have promised TO break the chains

from the powerful efforts OF Cassius NJ. CLAW,

THE CRISIS AND THE APATHY

Who can explain to to us the Why of the
extraordinary apathy which seems TO exist
in Vermont on the subject of Annexation -
Is it because the political struggle from which
we have SO recently emerged has so exhans-
ted our energies ard our patriotism that we
have nothing to expend upon conflict which
includes all that is dearto an American citi-
zen! Or are we so utterly disguised with
the mock philanthropy of those who profess
10 De the foes of slavery, and yet have SO
grossly betrayed the cause they pretend to
nave esppused, that we no longer care wheth-
CT slavery prevails or not. and is fastened up-
u '"e ha''on from generation TO generation?
