Your candidates, regularly nomn,,ol,

d'da,c', even though they may ne, always
have elected their own Your political
opponents are, ns ever dill igcn, in dcvis,n.
schemes 10 carry GU, their party purposes
they will, rs they ever have done, un,c all
their strength upon q single point, when
they see you divided upon some trivial AMI
unlmpoI.ant question. They scrurlc no,

canno, by fair ones. The dupIcty ani
fraud which was practiccd by tho so called
Dcmocta'ic party, IN the late Presidential

seems, needs bu, to be remembered to pro.

The conduct Of your less formidable sc,
more annoying ndversarics, tho Abolition
ISIS, IN the late Presidential election onl
since, should no, be forgotten. They then
had it in their power to elect Henry Clay
to the Presidency, tut they deliberately
chose not 20 do so but, on the contrary,
publicly avowcd, through their head JAMES
q. Birncy, their party preferences lot
James X Polk. Aud why! Because
tho, under the administration of such a man
as James *. Polk, whose constant! ani
creates, Efforts would be to increase tho
power, extend the dominion, anj multiply
the victims Of Slavery, their so called Lib.
cny party would possibly become the ruling
party Of the day. They supposed, mud
rightly too, thu. the spirit Of faction and
agrarianism would flourish better under
Locooco administration, than under the
administration oil such man ms Henry
Clay. They inlreclly ELECTED the man Of
their choice, md by means Of his election
the train Of evil, under which this nation is
now grooming, aud will for long years to
come, was brouyh! upon u.s. Conscqucn.
upon the election Of james Is Polk the ne.
furious Texas scheme was completed, tho
Subtr,asury was re enacted, The Infamous
war With Mexico was commcncod, and tho
Tariff OF 1912 repealed, and an advalorem
Tariff substituted IN ITS place Yc, tn,

chfon,ery characteristic Of them, ask you
to support their men aud aid them IN free.

They boldly ofirm that they have not done
this evil, but directly charge 1t upon the
Wings because they did no, vote with them
The Liberty Party should be treated rs
it deserves; it should receive no support,
favor, OF sympathy from you. II the Ab'
