THE VOICE.
BRANDON:
THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1847.

AN ERROR. The assertion occasionally comes
through Wing papers that the Liberty party sup
porers are in favor of dissolution of the Union
This, we think, has not yet been promulgated at
their conventions, or through their organs; and we
think it not beneficial to any party, permanently so,
to state things which arc not virtually true. The
American Anti-Slayery Society, and the New En-
gland branch, have for some time, adopted the mot
to, "No union with Shareholders" and some indi-
viduals have taken the ground that the Union itself
should be dissolved arguing that this must be done
in order to secure the overthrow of slavery in this
country. As we understand some leading Liberty
party advocates, they adopt what may be termed
the Mental Reservation doctrine of constituting the
United States Constitution to suit their own views
Of policy Or duty, so far as slavery is concerned
The balance of the Constitution they seem willing
to leave in the hands of the u S. Supreme Court to
eXpound and settle.
We think, that since the slave holding power has
not hesitated to rend or rample under foot such
norts of the Constitution as seemed to stand in their
,ro,, @ logger arSUnont can he used against the
State Liberty party, than the charge that the Iced
ers are in favor of violating the Constitution of the
United States This argument may be found in the
mere fact that they have been superseded in their
proiesseG abors Of love for the saveby the members
of the Wing party, and portion Of the Democratic
party, who according to the admission ofmany Lib
erty party men, have done all that they could have
done in their Legislative Or Executive capacities,
had they olicated instead of the others. Keep this
fact, then before the peoples and far this class
laborng for the good of the slave, and rightly
dcrstand the whole matter, they will not desire to
supersede those who have donc and are doing the
very work they wish to see accomplished.

Most SINGULAR EXPLOSION. A very
unhappy occurrence in Stacking lime. Mr.
John uazen of West Hartford, attempting
a few weeks since to slack some lime for white
wash with hot water in boiler on a stove, had
reduced the whole as he supposedly to a liquid,
but on adding another dipper full of water, the
whole exploded, throwing. some of it with
great force against the ceiling-into the face
and eyes of Mr. Hazen, destroying both of
his eyes and so badly burning him that his
life was despaired of at the last accounts. 1t
is supposed that some of the lime must have
remained dry at the bottom of the boiler,
thus causing an explosion by adding the
water when the lime had been heated w.
Mercury.

THE GEORGE WASHINGTON. This SUI

abundant evidence of her rapidity and case Of

PcLITIcAL SIoSs.-We find the following in
the Albany Evening Journal
Presidential Letter W1iting We remarked some
months since that if Gen. Taylor's life was spared,
he would be the next President of the United
States. This remark wis coupled with another,
which predicted the Generals election upon a
spontaneous movement of the People-a move
ment which could not either be helped or hinder
ed by parties or politicians.
But we did not foresee nor apprehend when this
prediction was hazarded, that Gen. Taylor would
have his attention turned to Presidential Letter
Writing. We were that his enemies if he
has them, could not defeat him. He was sure and
safe if he continued to keep his eye TO the front,
without looking towards. or if possible, without
thinking of the White House. But it cannot be
denied that Gen. Taylor's letters putting new
face upon things. He is certainly not as strong
as he was; and we are not now prepared to say
that the old Veteran may not write the people in
TO some serious doubts as to his fitness.

WESTERN VIRGINIA LAND CoMPASr.-An
association under this title has recently been form
ed in England, with a capital of fl5OO00. The
object Of the association, as we learn from a no.
tce in the \. Y. Commercial Advertiser is the pur-
chase Of large tracts of land in Western Virginia
which land is to be sod to immigrants in lots of
eighth acres and upwards, at low prices. A de-
post of sixpence per acre will be required for any
quantity purchased, but the purchaser will not be
required 10 make his selection of the quantity Sc
cured by deposit until his arrival on the land
The residue in instruments, within period offive
years from the date the purchase.
One Of the articles of the association says
When the number of any religious denomination
of Christians settled on the lands will require n
minister of their faith, the company will grant not
less than fifty acres TO aid in compensation for his
his service" The association is registered under
an act of the British Parliament There is n vast
quantity Of unimproved lands at present in Yves
tern Virginia, and this appears good opening
for the proprictors to sell on advantageous terms
10 all parties.

IMPORTANT ANTI-SLAVERY MOVE
MEET

The Louisville (Ky.) Examiner SAYS that
movement is soon TO be made, the object ofwhich
is 10 provide that in the constitutions often
nessee, Virginia and North Caroian, which are to
I've formed, the privilege shall be extended TO any
county in those states to become free, whenever
ma jorty of the legal voters should SO determine,
and that thereafter, there should be. except for
crimes no involuntary servtude in such counties.
The Examiner advocated this movement last year
and now gives some interesting statistics to show
the advantage and necessity OF such action in the
upper mountainous districts of those States where
are but small portion Of slaves. The editor
gives a list of eighteen counties-six in each of
those Siatcs-where the white free population are
20 to l, a fair sample of the population of the up
per counties. He says
The business Of this principle cannot be disput-
ed If Eastern Virginia thrives under system
! which ruins Western Virginia, why should West
ern Virginia be compelled TO adopt it KWcst-
ern North Carolina Is crushed by slavery, while
Eastern No-tl. Carolina lourishes under it, why
should the latter force the former to sustain it If
Western and Middle Tennessee have a majority
Of Shareholders, why should they duoN the non
SHAREHOLDERS of Eastern Tennessee with policy
which ruins or Injuries them There is no reason
in this-no Justice
"And what is there 10 prevent them from saying
to the Legislature, 1--WE mean to disturb no mans
rights, nor interfere with any other section but
we want just representative principle. and the
right to say when this evil Of slavery shall cease
in cur own country section by only fair rule
majority rOts. Legislatures give the right to
temperance men. 1t is fundamental one, and
in of wrongs, of actual oppression, social and
political, claim it n right that we ought 10
have, and which YOU should grant" a clearer
case Of Justice could rot be made out-no people
should hesitate in demanding such right-no
legislature think of refusing il.
And we are glad that our friends in Eastern
Tennessee intend agitating the question! Let
them 90 about it in earnest!
For the encouragement ofthese friends, we can
say distinctly that Western Virginia will move on
this subject within very short period; we think
in less than three months. This part of the Old
Commonwealth has felt so keenly her wrongs,
that it almost resolved upon seeking division of
the State; many of heI hest citizens declared it
must be- But the grond we urged years ago and
which we pressed upon our friends in the States
named in 1876, will be adopted, and Western
Virginia will ask the Legislature that she may be
directed BY lar, to get rid Of .Sidrey ard many OF
her Leading intend at once a9tang this eiibject,
so as TO prepare the people for this step in 1880"
