STATE ELECTION, Sept I'd.

We feel urged from various considerations
to call the attentionlof our Wing friends TO
the fact that our State election is rapidly ap-
preaching. Candidates for all parties arc
in the field, and each will rally 10 the sup
port oftheir nominations. In the person oil
The Wing nominee Governor Slade; we
have man of long public experience, tried
integrity, undoubted capacity, devoted to the
true interests of his country and his native
State; beloved at home, and respected
abroad, he has ever enjoyed the confidence
of his friends, and commanded the respects
Of his enemies. Never, while II years in
Congress did he prove recreant TO the trust
reposej in him, or falter from prompt and
faithful discharge ofhis duties. His strong
and eloquent speeches in defence Of the Tar
if. his firm and manly resistance TO the en-
croachments Of slavery, together with his
warm and gushing syn,palhies for the down
trodden and oppressed sons of Africa, have
won for him the title OF "Vermont's nobler
Sons title as well deserved az freely be-
slowed. We often think of him: standing
side by side with the noble Adams and hon
es,-hearted GidGings, contending in the
shirt offreenen. for the sacred right oipeti-
ton. Day after day, did this noble trio,
breas, the storm of slaveholding fury; and
they have lived to witnessthe triumph ofright
over wrong, justice over cruelty, and mercy
over oppression. A Democrat Of the true
school. Gov Slade still adheres to his prin-
ciples, unmoved by the calumnies heaped
upon him. In him, The freemen have man
every way worthy of their support and conf
dence.
In the person Of our present Lieut.. Gov
Horace Eaton, we also have man of supe-
rior abilities, and upon whom the tongue Of
SANDER has never spent its fury and malig-
nifty. Presiding with dignity over the Sen
ate ofthe State, he has elected the warmest
admiration Of his friends, and even foes.
OF cur worthy Treasurer John Spauldlng,
nothing can be said 10 add to his great worth,
as manand public officer.
Such are the men presented by the Wing
party for the support of the freemen Of Yer
mont al the ensuing election. Need we say,
they are all worthy of our suffrages? Aside
from our candidates, we have our long cher
ished principles 10 maintain. Our opponents
are pulling every string, TO defeat us. They
fiatter themselves that the Wings are so en-
crossed in the Railroad projects, that the
matter of politics will not receive that aiten-
lion heretofore given by them. They calcu-
late strongly upon defeating Gov. Slade by
the people, in his not getting a full majority
over both opposing candidates, and carry the
election into the legislature and if possible
by fomenting divisions, defeat an election
altogether. Wings of Vermont will you con-
sent to this Arouse in in your might, and
at the balot-box maintain your principles,b by
electing the men selected to carry out your
principles. Select early some good true
Wing in each town for town Representative,
canvass each school district appoint Com
mittees, rally voters, and iull vote gives a
victory! Letno division be suffered 10 dis
tract our efforts. Let concession and har-
mony prevail in.uur ranks. Every thing for
the cause should be the watchword of every
Wing. AROUSE then, Wings, from your
supineness!l Suffer not the spirit ofIethar-
gy 10 steal into the ranks. Let the Locos
carry the State and the cry would resound
through the Unicn-"Vermont is for Texas,
Slavery and Free Trade!n' Shall it be
said that Vermont, the land ofthe free, gives
to the slaveholding Texas
scheme2 Shall it be said that Vermont re-
pudiates the Tariff? A Loco triumph will
cheer up the hearts of the Southern Free |
Traders. A Wing triumph, and Vermont |
still stands out the same unfinching Tariff
State, she has ever been. A Wing triumph,
