"YOU CANNOT SUCCEED

In order to Judge Of the permanency and probable
success Of the Liberty party it is necessary to glance
at its principles and origin Look upon the history of
the rise and progress of the slave power. You will
find that under the watchful supervision of its support
ers it has been strengthened to alarming extent, and
not content with its dominion in the State Govern
ments it has been engrated into our national Jaws
lis progress has been onward and its purposes are still
to go onward until the entire nation Of necessity
der their control. We feel their influence and for
years were denied the right of petition, Alright granted
even to the serfs of Russia. We have looked in vain
for some redeeming influence and | ask where could
we seek help to stay tie tide of oppression which
threatens as and holds millions of in slavery?
Could we seek for it in the Wing party? No, we
could not for they foster the viper in their bosoms by
unfolding man for the highest Office in the nation
who loves oppressiou and who by the Missouri com
promise and other acts, has done more to Pcpetule
slavery than any man on EARTH Who are the leaders
nothing is more certain than the fact that its leading
councils and actions are entirely under the control of
the slave power Could we look to the Democratic
party for aid? Alas! they too have bowed the knee
to Baal. The Northern Democrats have become alb
iect slaves to their Southern brethren Witness the
sacrifice of their favorite candidate and the consum
nation of the infamous Texas scene, and then Judge
How could anti-savery men act with either Of the
dominant parties considering their strong prosavery
position? They could not And hence necessity com
PEELED them to organise third party. 1t was necos-
sy that created the Liberty party, and it is necessity
love of Liberty and benevoence that binds together
Its fall has been predicted but its course is onward
and the principles whichit defends will triumph. The
same necessity that created it will continue to bind
together, unless of helarger parties shall espouso
its principles and utterly refuse to uphold for any Of
fee Shareholder or one who countenances savehold-
can be disbanded-they must make the great idea o.
human liberty their leading idea and act as well as
talk in order to dsorganize the Liberty party; and still
more, they must convince the members of the Liberty
party that they are honest men, and create full con-
fdence that those principles and objects which they
are seeking to advance shall never be neglected no
turned aside by the arts of men, 1t is not in the pow
er OF man 10 dsorganlse the Liberty party IN any otn
er way than this; and unless such contingency shal
arise it will stand alone the foundation stone on which
to build the temple Of Liberty, and year after year
shall rise in power and influence. The principles tina
actuated the 60OO of 1870 and gave them power t.
march onward through all opposition will insure sue
cess to the 20 thousand of IA. 1t cannot be denie
but that the gain of the Liberty party has been unpre
cedened in country, can it he denied that it
f gain has been something more than numbering tn
noses of ignorant foreigners and fekle minded popu
lace. They are composed mostly of men of firm prr
cipes and perseverpg churacter-bound together nc
by cohesion Of party spirit but by the love of Libert
and equality and an undyng hatred to oppression
Amid the prosecutions the SCOTS, and revngs of the
opposers they are unmoved, and keep their watchft
