pie of Vermont, not only in consideration of their po-
litical principles, but as men of integrity, Of moral and
religious principle, and possessing rare qualifications
for the Offices 10 which they are respectively nomlnat-
ed. But our limits forbid. Nor is this necessary, mas
much as the same ticket was in nomination last year,
and the superior merits of these men are generally
known and acknowledged. Suffice it to say, no truer
specimens of genuine Vermonters could be found IN
the State than LAWRENCE BRAINERD and JACOB
Scorr. Hard-handed, labor-bronzed, intelligent
minded, warm hearted, generous souled,-aliye to the
wrongs ofthe poor and down-trodden, and ready to en-
counter the bitterest maledictions Of partizan friends
and foes that they may follow out their convictions OF
Justice and humanity--we have a peculiar satisfaction
and pleasure in the support Of such men, that the hero
worship Of many of the great men of the day, who are
but curse 10 their age and kind, is an utter stranger
TO. Who that knows these men but will say the same!

Town REPRESENTATIVES..

1t is of the most vital importance that the lfehus u
impartial liberty in each town should have candidates
for town representative who are fully COMMITTED 10
their principles, and then that they should stand by
them to the last. The Liberty Party in many towns
in the State, holding the balance Of power between the
other parties, is peculiarly liable to the assailed WIN
every possible device for its destruction, and every
thing depends upon the frmncss and integrity with
which these assaults are resisted. If the old parties
may be safely trusted with the cause Of human free
dom, then there is no necessity for a Liberty organlza-
ton; but if they have proved utterly recreant to this
high trust, then let them be abandoned atonce and for
ever, and let the Liberty cause and its candidates be
sustained at all hazards. The Liberty friends in eacl
town should look to the good Of the general cause, ant
not, for the sake Of acquiring a temporary success il
their own township, sanction a principle which, II gen
orally adopted, would utterly destroy our organization
and defeat our hopes. If bargain, and intrigue, AM
log-rolling, are to be resorted to, let it be by other
than those whose only hope of success is that the
stand upon the immutable and eternal principles c
humanity and justice.

Emancipation

The world is waking up. Turkey has taken
the first step towards the abolition of slavery
The Sultan has abolished the slave trade, and
closed the slave marts at Constantinople The
Pachas of Egypt, and of Tripoli, it is believed,
will soon follow this example. Already has the
Bey of Tunis acted. This general emancipa-
ton will destroyed the slave traffic in North A
frica.
Wallachia, too, is free! The emancipation of
the Bohemians belonging to the clergy, public
officers, and state, has been decreed by the Wal
lachian diet! This sets free fourteen thousand
families and sixty thousand slaves. There are
yet twelve hundred families and forty-eight thou
sand slaves held by private persons. But a
small tax has been levied on the emancipated to
redeem these bond. All, then, are free! Prince
blbesco urged forward this universal emancipa-
ton.
And Uruguay, in South America, has declar-
ed against all involuntary servitude. 1t is a
great move. The other republics cannot resist
the example. They will follow it.
Nor can despotlsm withstand the underworld
movement. Russia feels it. Prince Woron-
zoff, Count Protasof, M. Kologrivof, have set
free their bond. M. Rummin gave liberty to
eight thousand serfs Of both sexes whom he own
ed; he is one of the wealthiest men in Russia
These serfs gathered around him; and with them
gathered twenty thousand Of the citizens of Mi
and Riazan, to give thanks for this deed o fhum.
anity. He was called, Liberator! Father!
1t is said the Gar favors this action. If his
nod is given for freedom, serfdom will fall quick
ly in Russia.-LouisriM Examiner.

On, to the Work

Never was there a more glorious opportunity,
than is now afforded, for the young men of Ken
lucky to show their mettle.
If they are content to swim on the current, and
be as the dead logs that float there, so be it; there
is neither hope in them, nor for them. But if,
catching the spirit Of their fathers, they disre-
gard all popular theories, and stand up for the
right, and buffet the sternest opposition, as they
battle for it, the highest destiny awaits them, and
they will be, now and hereafter, the men of mark
in our day.
Success, what is it! Not the greatest num-
Der of votes, not a mere political triumph. Eth
er may ruin. Both may, and often do, contain
mate, the best of our youth. Success, true sue
cess, is that condition of mind which conquers
selfshness, which subdues ambition, which
brushes all thought of honors, and brayely looks
truth in the face, and defends it, let who may
sneer, scorn, or defy it. No other success is
worth having Courage, in no other cause, is
worth one breath Of praise.
Let our young men look up! The poetry, IL
%terature and impulse of our day, is for freedom!
In that, they symp2thisc with the freshness and
glory Of young manhood. Let it be up, and do
ing! Let it be true! And it may lead Kentuc-
ky on to Freedom, and themselves to a position
which shall link their name with virtue ever
morc.-LOMSUiM Examiner.

Military GIOry"mthe Presidency.

Entract from Rec. Richard 7oLmcrs, of Mass.
In the present crisis of our national affairs,
we are prone to pay our homage to the military
hero, to the neglect Of the man of true moral
worth. Some, while they curse the war, in the
strongest language, with the same mouth, bless
the warrior; a gross incongruity to an unsophis-
tlcated mind. Be it that those of the United
States army are bound, to a certain extent, to
render obedience to government. Shall they
be mere passive tools in its hands, executing its
orders right or wrong, without asking any ques-
tons for conscience sake? What strange infat-
u%ation, then, is leading the people to such lem
onstration in favor of the wilfuI conqueror.
had hoped that civilization and Christianity
were so far advanced, that war would no more
be considered as the path to glory that he whC
could WELD adroitly the devouring sword, ant
not any longer he deemed most worthy of thu
honors and offices of state. 1t is not so surpri
sing, that in the dark ages, and among savage
hordes, martial proves should be ranked as thu
first of virtues. We wonder not, that among thu
degenerate antedeluvians, the mighty men were
men OF renown. But, that now in the nineteenth
century OF the christian era; that here in thu
heart OF chrlstendom, there should be such
passion for deeds of violence, as is evinced b.
enllstments and applications for commissions =
such sympathy and homage for the brute likI
courage OF the battlefield, as appears from tn
enthusiasm with winch the name of a conquero

and benevolent spirit of the gospel, so blnd to
moral worth, so lost to virtue, that we can honor
no name but that written in blood Canno one
gain ascendency here but by the sword! Does
the path to distinction in this republic lie only
through oppression and slaughter? Must a per-
son tread down the African, and ride with IRON
hoof over the Mexican, in order to become quail
flied to rule over us? Can one reach the PTesl-
dental chair only by paving his way thereto with
mangled corpses, and the crushed and bleeding
hearts of thousands of unoffending victims! Is
it indeed true among us, that,
Gone to destroy is murder by the law,
And gibbets keep the lifted hand in ave.;
To murder thousands takes a precious name,
Wars glorious art, and gives immortal tame"
Tell it not to the Mohammedans of Turkey, pub
fish it not to the pagans Of India, lest the unclr-
cumcised triumph over us, and laugh us to scorn!
When, o when shall high and noble sentiments
of justice and humanity pervade the nation
When shall we breathe the spirit and copy the
example Of him who went about doing good; and
learn to say with him, "BIcssed are the peace
makers?' instead of shouting, "Honor to the
blood-stained conqueror p learn that better is he
that saveth a country from war, than he that win
meth a thousand battles.
AS, therefore, we consider the eulogistlc COM
memorations of those who have persisted in the
strife, and thatthe living conquerors Of Monterey,
Vera Cruz and Cerro Gordo, are, to such an ex-
tent, the objects of popular alteration, we should
beware, lest at the sound of the fife and drum,
we too Join in the idolatrous homage. While we
pay our honors to the heroes of war, they will
multiply upon us to our peril. Our own history
attests the truth Of the remarks made by Gibbor
more than half a century ago:-"As long as
applause upon their destroyers, team on thell
benefactors, the thirst of military glory will eve
be the vice of the most exalted characters"

Could any thing more fully justify the course Of those
abolitiomsts who have joined ina distinct political or
g~anization for the overthrow of slavery, than the policy
now adopted at the Sou.h, of a union of all political
parties for the perpetuation of slavery? The issue is
now fairly made up at the South. that banks, tariffs
and all old party questions, shall all be merged in the

the South in securing the ascendency Of tire slave pow
err but never until the Wilmot Proviso was proposed
in the last Congress, has the astounding fact beer
SO boldly and unblushingIy proclaimed to the who'll
world, that the entire South were determined t
know nothing save the perpetuation of human slavery
Now, when it is as clear as the sun in mid-heavcns
that American slavery was created, has been sustained
and will be perpetuated, if at all, by direct p%olitica
action, will the friends Of freedom longer hesitate t
concentrate their political energies Tor its overthrow ?

Some Of the wing journals in this State, among which
is the " Voice Of Ffeedom," have endeavored to create
prejudice against Laurence Brdlncrd, our most estllna-
Bile candidate for Governor, on the ground that he Is
one of the directors of the Champlain boat Saranac
upon which Rev. Mr.. Garnet was prescribed on ac-
count ofhis dark complexion. These insinuations are
~palpably unjust, and would never be made by any hon
est individual acquainted with Mr.. Brainerd's views
and practices upon this subject. Nor would this mat
ter have been left open for any doubt, Or for our ex.
PLANTATION, were it not for Mr.. Brainerd's p~yotracted i'll
ness. True, Mr.. B.. is one of the fifteen directors of
the Saranac, but never, until the case in question, did
he dream that any distinction was made on account Of
color upon the boat. The question had never even
been raised. OF course, some little time will be requi-
site to bring the company to right ground upon this
subject; but one thing may be relied on by all our
friends and enemies-viz that no honorable means
will be left untried to set this matter right, and that
speedily but should these efforts fail, LAWRENCE
BRAINERD will e~fectually clear his skirts of all sus-
picion of couhtenancing such %iniquity. This will not
be doubted by those who have been acquainted, as we
have for years, with Mr.. BIS radical views and p%racti-
ces with regard to the rights of colored men in all the
relations of life but those personally unacquainted
with MI. Brainerd, may rely upon the assurance we
have given.

Labor

Mr.. ~EDIroR:-Eyery movement made upon the
great political chess board Of this nation, must be full
of interest to every lover of his race. 1t behooVes all
who enjoy 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
to be awake and at work in the political world. With
the Wings and Democrats Vermont has long had the
reputation of being thoroughly anti-savery. But the
storm, which is now gathering in the political horizon
of this Republic, will bring every one to an infallible
test on the subject of American Slavery. Every wing
who is willing to support Gen. Taylor for the Presl-
dency, must be "Untainted with the loprosy of anti
slavery and every Democrat who does not advocate
the Wilmo Proviso and its principles, must be en-
inently pro-slavery, and a ~co-laborer with &c. CAL
houn. That there are thousands Of honest men in the
state who are really anti-slavery in sentiment, but, as
vet, are attached to one or the other of the two great
pro-slayery parties, no one can doubt. Why should
not Liberty man take Time by the forelock," and
commence a campaign Immediately that shall continue
till November, lS46?
| believe we are amply able to do our own work in
Vermont, if we will but put on the harness. Facts
are within the reach of every Liberty man in this
state, which if fairly and correctly presented to the
honest yoomanry would make ours truly an a~nti-slave-
ry state. Let every schoo. district be ~visited-lectures
given-discussions opened, and facts be presented,
and furthermore let us see to it, that every house is
furnished With Liberty documents. If we should enter
into the work in earnest, and every man who asks lib
erty for himself, ask it for others, we should have &
Liberty harvest i'll AS that would shake the old Bastile
of American slavery event to its very foundations.

The Slaue's Idea of Liberty. Gov. Mcdowell, of
Virginia, in a recent speech before the general assem-
bly, of that State, thus beautifully alludes to the i'm
mortality OF the idea of Freedom in the mind of the
slave:
"You may place the slave where you please; you
may dry up to your utmost the fountains of his feelings
the springs ofhis thought you may yoke him to your
labor, as an OK, which lveth only to work, and work
eth only to live, you may put hin under any process,
which without destroying his value as a slave, will de-
base and crush him as a rational b~eing-you may do
this, and the idea that he was born to be free will sur
vlve 1t all. ltis allied to his hope of Immortality; it is
the ethereal part ofhls nature, which oppression can
not reach; it is a torch lit up in his soul by the hand of
hand of man."
