The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1846-08-27

Mr. Editorials the time draws near when the
people Of this state will be called upon to choose
that line of policy which they will pursue, it NAV
not DO amiss to examine the positions which the
three different parties at present occupy.
The Wings have always advocated and contended
for those measures which have been found by expe
rience to be most beneficial to the true interests Of
the people.
The Democrats, who have obtained an asoendency
in our national affairs, have pursued course in d.
rect opposition to this after legislang for reri-
cd OF nearly eight months, we look in vain for sin
ge measure calculated to increase the prosperity of
the people, or realize the hopes of those who have
confided in their promise Of better state of things
every act passed, of national character, is fraucht
with the most disastrous consequences, and whose
bitter fruits we yet destined to reap as a reward
of trusting il their hands that power which they
have so grossly and unjustly abused In proof Of
tlh9, we have only to look at their acts They have
admitted Texas into our Union saddled with debt
which no one has been ablo to compute; they
have taken the Sabine Slide" from 81 40 to 49 in
Oregon; they have carried on an iniquoas war with
Mexico in defiance of every principle of justice Or
humanity, at the expense Of nearly half million Of
dollars day. they have repealed the tariff of 1872
and substituted one in its stead which we hope will
convince the people to who are the true friends Of
projections they have thrust upon the people the
sub treasury, that "bin of denominations" which
three successive sessions of Congress refused to sane
ton, and which the people condemned in the most
emphatic manner in 1910. Such is the party and
their measures, which now has the nsolonce to AJAX
the support Of the people of Vermont.
And lastly, the sol dssant Liberty party-a party
which urges itself upon tho consideration of the pee
pie under the spccious pretenco of humanity. It
was organized on the principle of one idea, and that
has brooded so long upon the "aching void" Of the
political demegogues and broken down politicians
which control the party, that it has actually hakhed
out two or three IDEAS which if they can not be call
ed exactly new, lay very strong claim to origi-
nality, the leaders nevertheless ought to have the
praise Of bringing hom seasoaaJy before the peo-
pe so that they guard against the results which
will naturally follow In a call which they huye is
sued for mass meeting "wAR WITH MEXICO"
stands out at the head in flaming capitals. 1.-THE
Tariff of 1912 has been Destroyed" they exclaim in
accents piteous enough to draw tears from tho eyeA
of any one who has not sense enough to see through
the shallowness Of their conduct. The Wings fore
saw all this and advised them better course but
they were met by the false assertions "that CLAW
was as much in favor of annexation as Polk and
was no better tariff man." Instead of voting in
the only manner which could have prevented these
evils which they now pretend so deeply to deplore,
they choose to throw away their strength upon man
who was avowedly in favor of free trade, except in
chatteised humanity" in which speculation he said
he had lost several hundred dollars.
In view of all these things we candidy ask, Will
the intelligent freemen of Vermont consent to be
luped by such men? men whose acts of deception
ought TO consgn them to that infalny which is only
equalled by the turpitude of their crimes?
