that the Liberties of the whole country will spec
Oily be lost, unless the slave system is abolished,
2. The OBJECTS of the Liberty Party, are "the
abolition of slavery by moral and political action,
as presided in the Constitution of the United
States and the administration Of the Govern
ment in accordance with the spirit of the Con-
%stitution, as set forth in it's Preamble, and in the
Declaration of American independence, apply
ing the doctrine of equal and inalienable human
rights to the solution of all questions naturally a
rising in the directing of public affairs, and with
in the Constitutional limits oflegislative, execu-
tive, and judicial actions.
g.. The PRINCIPLES of the Liberty Party
las already implied) are those of our great Ma
tional Charter-"tha all men are created equal,
and are endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, among which are, life, liberty
and the pursuit o. happiness ."-"That for the
securing of these rights, governments are %institu-
ted among men, deriving their just powers,
(under Cody from the consent Of the governed"
irrespective of color or caste. THAT it is al
ways safe and wise to do right-and always
unsafe and unwise to do wrong"
4. The MEASURES Of the Liberty Party, cor
responding with its objects and its principles,
will bear directly upon the removal of the abu-
SEES on account of which it is needed. All the
constitutional powers of the Government it
Yields for the abolition Of slavery, INSTEAD ofwield-
ing them for its support. The power Of the
national government over slavery in the District
Of Columbia, Territories, and interstate slave
tade, admits Of no National question. Here
than, undoubtedly aud at once, the Liberty Par
ty, in power, would decisively act. In many
other ways, and particularly by Withholding all
offices within the gift of the national government
from shareholders, in could act in opposition to
slavery in a ay against which no Constitutions
al objections could be made, Add to this the
fact that many rejecting and i%nquiring minds,
i'm and out of the Liberty Party are beginning
to call in question, if not wholly to deny, the
legality and constitutionality of slavery in any
part of the United States, and it is evident that
the Liberty Party, when in power, will not be
at a loss for Constitutional measures for effec-
ting its chief and paramount object, And in
all minor objects, the same principles will fur
nish it with a sure guide.
5. The PROSPECTS ofthe Liberty party are
identified, therefore, with prospects of the abb
clifton ofslavery, the preservation Of civil govern
ment in this country, for the objects for which
it was instituted among. men.
What prospects are there, do you think, dear
readers, that the enterprise will succeed? What
prospect is there, that you and your ~neighbors
will lend your aid and cO-ope,atiOn?

The SikhS.

The war now existing between Great Britain
and the people of India, called Sikhs, renders a
knowledge of their history, character and condi-
ton somewhat interesting. We copy, therefore,
the following remarks by Won Orlich, an officer
in the Prussian service, who visited the country,
called the Punjaub, in lS43. The river Sutlej,
of which so much is said in recent accounts
of the battles between the Sikhs and British
is the Southern boundary of the Punjaub;
"The Punjaub, or Land of the Five Rivers,
has a surface of about 1870, 600 square miles, is
of triangular shape, and bounded by the Indus,
the Sutlej, and the Himalayas. In these noun
tains rise four rivers, which flow through the
Punjaub and form a junction with the Indus !:
thus dividing this country into four unequal por-
tons, of which the first and most western lies
betwixt the Indus and the Jelum, 1t is about
500 miles in breadth, and being very barren and
uncultiyated, has but a scanty population. Nu-

Hints that may be UsefnL The cold twin
ter being now over, every c%ultivator of fruit and
flowers will naturally secur to an examination Of
his trees and plants, with a view to Judging of
what may be expected from them the comeing
season. On examination it will be found that
the extreme ends of the limbs on young peach
and cherry trees are killed. Old trees are not
usually injured in this way. 1t is only on such
young thrifty trees as continued their growth
until the severity of winter set in and CONCEALED
the up rising sap ere it had time to become cor
rected by exposure through the pores of the
leaves and return again in its course to the roots.
Where such decayed ends of buds are found,
they should be pruned off. Grape vines will
now bear pruning. On many vines it will be
found that the wood has not matured well, and
indeed that all the new wood grown last year is
small and extended in length without proportion
ate size, Such vines require a greater supply
of nourishment applied to the roots, in the shape
of one peck of lime, half a peck of plaster of
Paris, and one bushel of well rotted manure,
carefully dug within a circle of eight feet in d.
ameter about the roots. A fork is best for the
purpose, as an inexperienced person will be liza
BILE to cut or otherwise bruise the roots with a
spade.
Many roses that have heretofore been thought
hardy will this spring on examination be found
to have been killed. All such should be soon
pruned off, that the roots may send up fresh
strong branches for blowing III the fall months
strawberry vines should be now thoroughly
raked over, and are better for having a coat Of
well rotted manure spaded or forked in about
the roots. When a person has more than are
required for use if fruiting at the same time, by
moving them off when first in flower, a crop
may be gathered after all others are gone.
