State Ticket.
The State Ticket of the Wing Party Of Vermont
is this week placed at the head of our editorial col
umns, also portion Of the Senatorial Wing Tickets
follow As the main circulation Of the Voice is in
Addison, Rutland and Windsor counties, we do not
deem it of any avail to place in connection with the
above the lists of candidates for otherco in the
| state.
| With the well known and faithfully proved name
of HORACE EATON at tho head Of State ticket,
no fears need be entertained of that tickets succeed
ing at the coming election provided the Wings wake
up and prevent Misrepresentation and deception TAX
ing the place, among the mass of honest voters, OF
| facts facts which are important in themselves
and facts which the whole people should know
Among these facts may be named the following:
First, the Wing party, as body, are known to be
in favor of such internal Improvements as will con-
duce to the we'll being of the people of this state as
well as for the whole country, and Horace Eaton has
shown himself ready on all occasions which have
presented to carry out those principles. These i'm
provements embrace whatever comes under the
heads of Religious Moral Intellectual, Scientific and
Physical. Under this general head may also DC
named the fact that in their Legislative capactyhe
Wings of Vermont have, from before the organiza-
ton of the Liberty party, to the present time been
ready to 60 their ConstMionaIlength against Amer
lean slavery.
The second general fact is, the Liberty party have
no political creed, profession of creed, in re-
gard to general protective policy, and OF internal
improvements in the State or Nation. So far, Them
rs candidates of that party would be bound to an
swer questions propounded by freemen might be
summed up as follows:
Mr.. A., are you in favor Of granting bank facil-
ties to such towns need hemp provided such banks
, arc made secure against loss to bill holders3
Answer know no creed but to be opposed to
slavery!
Do you believe in promoting the interests of the
rising generation by improving their intellectual
f and moral culture?
nm out and out opposed to American Slavery.
VIII you, il elected to legisate for the people Of
Vernont,s so cast your votes to encourage business
r facilities, and scientific, literary and moral attain
: mcnts to any extent?
tell you am all Anti-sl2very man "up to the
t hub, d" and shall go against slavery.
] Have not the Wings done all in their Legislative
and executive capacities for ten years past that YOU
= could have done, had you been elected2
|, Yes s'posc but they were corrupt, and didn
@ mean as they voted
If they have voted right why not be satisfied witt
e that, without impugniag their motives?
G toll you the Wings are corrupt-inore so, II pos
e sible, than the Democrats, and if am elected II
, 20 dead set against them, we'll as against slavery
=, =, bay 1Iir their
:. a,ye capactv, on the subject of slavery, and yot
have every reason to suppose they will continue tt
h vote right on that subject, why do you desire tina
S party broken up with prospect that the Democrat
e ic party would take its place when you know tina
II party IS not, nor has it been much opposed Il
l. the institution Of slavery as has the Wing party
You know that during the pending the question
O the annexation of Texas with its slavery and saV
t. laws, the Wings in Congress, from this state, AM
70 almost every Wig in the Union went against tina
d admission, while Mr. Dillingham; voted in favor c
y; it. If, then, you are so much opposed to SLAYER
&c and its extension, why do you take that course wlc
h you know will tend to bring into office men who wi
act directly contrary to your protested princpes2
tell you am opposed to slavery, and that is sui
Acient for me! If Wings see fit to stick to thei
"a cor7pt candidates, when they can find pure nance
ia men in the Liberty ranks, they need not blame Il
r if they do get defeated, because they might hav
Il united with pure party, and there would then b
10 nonecd ola third political party
We believe the foregoing to contain, nsubstance
of the political Articles Of Faith" Of the Liberty Par
~ ty and so, the supporters of candidates set up b.
A. that party will give no virtual pledge as to whf
=. course such candidates. if elected, would pursue
= regard to State matters. Hence the importance
~ nominating those whose mere acceptance of a nom
=, nation would virtually furnish pledge Of going Il
Ia such improvements as will tend to benefit the con
d. munity at large.
A third fact or class of facts may be stated as 10
", lows The candidates of the Democratic party
"a not osre the same protection given to America
A. industry by way of giving prefer ence to AHeFio"
- above Foreign fabrics, and by favoring vario'
,t modes of Internal Improvement, as do the wings !
o. fthey did, they could not say aught against IN
ID Wing policy, and hence could have no face 10 deer
ia their politics, nor to setup opposing candidates.
