SOUND SENSE.
The "Voice of Freedom" heretofore a political
abolition paper published at Brandon, (Vt) has dis
tincty and manfuy renounced third partyism. The
editor, Mr. Iolcomb, says he has "become fully sat
isied that he can do for the slaves release
without advocating political action than with it. lie
says:
"Being more nearly allied in views ofNatonal pol
icy to the Whigs than the Democrats,I intend enter
ing their Camp with my untisavery Medicine Chest
ready TO deal the article occasion may require
shall aim not to support candidates for State Coun-
ty or Town elections who will not be ready to do in
the Legislature, all that strictly Liberty Party man
could do for tho slave, were he elected in their
stead"
This is a rational view of the matter and which is
entertained by the Wings Of the State generally, and
why every Wing Sd party man
should not now act with Mr. IIolcomb But we can
why ocOfocos, pretending to be boionists--and
going for annexation by voting for Mr. Dillingham;
should cry out for Sd paryism, and that is, merely 70
destroy the Wings and eventually build up Pol<ism
and thereby bind more strongly the letters OF the poor
slave.
We believe many Wings who acted with the Sd
party last year feel disappointed in the consequent
ces of the action Of that party, and that they were
deceived by who pretended to be for liberty So
it seems Mr. IIolcomb feels and has the honesty TO
abandon his error.
COUNTY CONVENTIONS In several Of tho
Counties the Wings have held their county Conven-
lions for nominating Senator'S We are glad to SEQ
that they ure well attended, and that the Wings of
the Green Mountains have notion of bowling the
kEee to the enemies Of true RepubIcunsm and of
quail rights. We copy tho two following notices Of
Conventions Windham and Franklin Counties:
VINO CONVENTION At NEwFANE.-The
County Convention, which assembled a, Newrane
last week, was well attended. An idea, quite 100
general, has obtained, that during the first year after
the fierce struggle with which Presidential cam
raign is usually carried on, the defeated party must
inevitably suffer from spirit of general apathy
But the number of delegates, and the spirit that ami
mated them afforded good ground to hope that the
Wings of odd Wiudh am will do their duty this
year, notwithstanding they shamefully defeated,
in the National election last fall.

ry of the Coupty-a spirit of the utmost harmony
prevailed-sound and spirited resolutions were
unanimously passed animated addresses were deiiv-

issues to divide the Wings of this County, but TO
