Eg We bespeak for two articles which we
publish this week, signed, "a Wing of A."
the careful pcrusal of all our readers. They
are from source deservedly high in the
confidence, not only ofthe mass of the whi9
party. but the freemen of Vermont generally.
They speak the words of truth and soberness
and are the sentiments of an honest heart
such, we cannot doubt, as are fast taking
hold of the better portion of the wing party
IN this State. The truth swings who control
the policy OF the party, are a set of reckless
partlzans, caring little for integrity and moral
principle, and still less for genuine antislavery
Their treatment of Gov. Sladc, for the past
year or two, has fully demonstrated this fact
We would as soon look for efficient antislavery
action from the natural allies in this State,
as from those purse-proud aristocrats who
give direction to the "true Liberty party.
| Green Mountain Freeman.
This paragraph presents pretty fair summary of
the two articles alluded to far rs pronunciation or
argument is concerned and if no stronger arguments
can be adduced in favor of the Liberty party, than
those here presented equally strong arguments can
be given for denouncing of the wire-pullers Of
that party, and for renouncing connection with
them. But how are you, friend Poland, going to
show that ''their treatment of Gov. Sade for the
past year or two, has fully demonstrated" the fact
that, the "Whigs who control the policy of the party
are set reckless partsans caring little for intcg
rity and moral principle, and still less for genuine
antisavcry?" would like to see the prccfhat Mr.
Shade has been so abused by the leading Wings ofthe
State, to have those acts constitute the proof of
their reckessness of "integy," "moral irincipIe,"
and "genune anhslarery."
Mr. Sade representeda portion OF the people Of this
State, in Congress- for twelve years and held other
offices ofimportance, probably as many years, pre-
vious to his first Congressional election besides his
secretaryship under Mr. Clay. do not know tie
exact number of years Gov. Sladc has oiciated for
the people Of this State, for portion of them but
think it cannot be much less than twenty five year,.
to which add from 1925 to 1929, while he was an
assistant secretary under Mr. Clay, and pretty fooi
length of time is given for Vermonter to hold dif-
ferent lucrative Offices. Since my acquaintance
with Mr. Slade, have not learned that his support
crs charged unaithfulness upon him, nor that they
had within two years, or at any other time, traduc
ed his character. would therefore, like to know
what the treatment, spoken Of by Mr. Poland, i9s

81 Friend Holcomb, of the Voice Of Free,
dom, thinks there is no necessity ola third
party in Vermont, as its only effect is TO aid
locofcoism, Whenever this statement is deni-,
ed he promises to bring statistical evidence to
support his position. Not having file Of tho
Voice" for the last year or two at hand, wo
furnish such arguments against friend
IIolcomb as would be likely to have the most
influence with him; but really, he will look
over his old files, we greatly mistake ifhe does
not find better reasons for distinct Liberty
party than he can now bring against such Gn
organization.-G Green Mountain Freeman.
1t will be seen from the foregoing that ny Poland,
the editor of the Freeman, does not deny the truth
of what he represents me as saying in regard to-
the effect of keeping up the organization Of the
Liberty party in orr State elections. I, however,
did not use the language imputed to me, but it was
probably understood somewhat in that sense by
those using the term "Locofoco," instead of Demo-
crat; only they must have understood one thing
more, which was, my language did not convey
the idea that the 'onyy effect" of the organiza-
ton of the Liberty party in this State would DO to
hid the Democratic party. When Mr. Poland will
publish, in the Freeman, fair synopsis of what I
said in the Voice of July 23d, under the caption,
Hon. John P. Hale, and viii present such arguments
used by me in 1881 in favor of the Liberty party,
rs he thinks the strongest, will see what l can do
with them. But not knowing which he refers to
cannot afford to look up a lot of them and knock
