Slavery Abolished

Mr.. EDITOR SRI have been looking, with no
small degree OF interest, to in your paper some
comments upon the dongs of the wing District Con-
venton, which came of at Dan ville the 9Th inst,
but as have no notice of their dongs, | would
say, that both the District and County conventions
were notified to be holden at the same time and place.
The forenoon was occupied, as usual, in organizing
and appointing committees, &c. They had arriv-
ed at an important period the public mind is much agi-
tated upon the subject of slavery. Men-rOrs, begin
to read and feel upon the oppression and tyranny of
saveholding. Freemen begin to inquire if something
cannot be done to free country of this abomnaton
The wings therefore, feel the Importance of this ques-
ton; for strange as it may appear, now and then a
whg begins to show signs that he will vote the
Liberty ticket this fall Something therefore must be
done or said by the convention to quiet the conscences
of all who are thus horribly inclined. Now all their
wits are put in requiston and finally hit upon most
ingenious plan, viz, let the committee on resolutions
appointed by the District Convention report resolutions
upon the slavery question: and upon all other subjects
proper for the OCCASION and the County Conventions
have rather bad job to do in their senatorial nomina
ton, why, let them pass no resolutions at ALL They
had better be silent. This was just the thing; bright
thought, land you know the wings are bright Well,
the thing having been cooked to their liking, after the
preiminaries over, assembling in the after
noon the chairman of the committee. viz. the Demo-
cratic, abolition editor of the "Caledonian" ahem)
made report to the District Convention of string of
resolutions, which are to be found in the Caledonan
of the same week; the 9TH of which resolutions COM
thus: "Resoved That the great wing party of
the United States is the only party from which the
least hope of any practical and efficient opposition to
slavery can be expected, &C." And in their speeches
they proclaimed both loud and long that they were the
only true, simon pure abolition party. Now this is all
well enough for wings, suppose and all that is want
ing to make it important to us all, is, Truth And to
satisfy any one that they regarded it all can't and
made for Bncum, is the fact that the same men, the
same afternoon, with all their loud profession of being
the only abolition party still upon their tongues and vi
brating upon the ear in the capacity of County Con
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1846-08-06
One idea.

During the discussion in the Northwest Lib
erty Convention, on the gath ult., Mr. st. Clair
said d" We can have no success, save with the
one idea No party ever came into power with
more than one idea The two great parties have
but one to divide between them. Their principles
and ideas were all receivable into one thing
money. (Mr. s. here amusingy Intercepted
an imaginary Wig and democrat, asking each
other in turn what his principles were.) The
wing first takes the stand His first principle
was safe currency object, money idea No.
/. Second principle, protective tariff OBJ
ect money,-idea No. 2. Third principle, dis
tribution of the proceeds of the public lands =
object, money idea No. 3, These three ideas
made up the wing creed-there was nothing else.
The principles of the democrat were just the
reverse of those of the wing, The sub-treasu-
ny was his first principle object, money
idea No. l. Second principle, revenue tariff {;
object, money,-idea No, 2. Third princi-
pie, proceeds of the public lands to make part
Of the national revenue object, money,-ldea
No. 3. So you see, said Mr.. s., the two great
parties have but one idea to split between them.
They are only holding on to each side. OF the al
mighty dollar. The Liberty party have but one
idea, but there is some length and size to it. 1t
is so large that it has not yet got through the
hair of the other parties. This he illustrated
by the fable of the lion and the cat " How
many young" says Puss to the Lion, " do you
have in year!' Sometimes two" says the
Lion, but ofener only one" What only
one" says Puss, Why, | have four or five lit
tiers of kittens in year, and half dozen at 4
litter" Yes" replies the king of beasts, " but
remember that's a hon. while yours are only
cats" SO we say of our one idea-its a lion
and not to be compared with dollars and cent?
with cats.
