Liberty Party in Columbiana County.

We suppose the Liberty party Of this coun-
ty expects us to pay some attention TO 1t at
least once a year, and as we have been accus-
toned to notice it about election time, it ia
hardly worth while for us now to deyiate
from our usual course.
At the election last fall the vote for Lewis
five mistake not-was 100. This year
the highest vote on the Liberty party ticket
was 81, the lowest 81. Perhaps the vote
would have been larger, had not the rain put
a ddnpcr upon the zeal Of some who believe
that voting is the only means by which slave
ry can be overthrown, and our country re-
deemed from lis deadly blight. The pros
poets Of the party were last year considerably
dashed by the same cause, and it was too bad
to have them spoiled again this year. We
don't know but such results might be pro-
perly included among ''the evils of rain as
enumerated on the 4th page.
There is one fact connected with the Lib
erty party vote Of this year-iis small vote
for Sheriff, we ~medn-which would seem to
US rather strange, had we not heard that some
Of the party went for the Wing nominee
AS it had but eight candidates on its ticket,
we suppose that those who thus voted may be
counted one-cighM Wing, and seren-dghiis
Liberty party; and fairness certainly requires
of them that they appropriate to themselves
ene-eighth Of all the censure they have here
tofore bestowed on the Wings, and retain but
seven-eights ofthe glory which belongs to the
name of a Liberty party man. Some Of our
readers may think we ought not to have re-
ported the Liberty rote as 81, and we are half
inclined TO think so too; it would probably
be better to give the result thus-Liberty
party polled 50 votes, the Seven-eighters IS.
The Seven-eights, having voted for one
Wing nominee, will probably find it rather
difficult to show that if it was right so to do,
it would be wrong upon principle to vote for
another, and another, and as many others as
the %elector chooses. We respect honest,
sincere Liberty party action, but we confess
we have no great regard for seven-eightsism
or any other political compound of the kind.

ours against strange bOus,
b. w. RICHMOND.

The following are the resolutions adopted
by the Liberty party Convention at Buffalo ;
ReSoired, That the paramount object of the
Liberty party is the abolition of slavery in the
United States, by the Constitutions acts of
the Federal and State Governments.
ResoLred, That the Government of the T.
nited States is one of specific and limited
powers, conferred by the people through the
Constitution, and among these powers there
is none to institute or sanction slavery.
Resolved, That slavery being Of such a ma
ture that it is incapable of being sustained
except by positive law, and the legislative
power Of the government being incompetent
to enact or establish such law, it necessarily
follows that slavery cannot constitutionally
exist in any territory Of the United States.
Resolved, That it is the duty of anti-slayery
men, in Congress, TO propose and vote for
acts 10 repeal the act Of 1893, relating 10 flu
gitives from service TO provide against the
introduction of slavery in any territory, and
such other laws as may be necessary or eYpe-
dient to withdraw the support of the govern
ment from slavery, and to array the powers
Of the general government on the side of IL
5erty and free labor.
Res0ired, That the allowance to the slave
States Of a representation in Congress, and
in the Electoral Colleges, for three-fiths Of
their slaves, is unjust and anti-republican, and
ought to be abrogated with the least possible
delay.
Resoired, That the division of the States
into Judicial Circuits, in such a manner that
the slave States have five Of the Supreme
Courts of the Union, while the free States,
with twice the number of inhabitants, have
but four, is wholly unjustifable, and should
be superseded by fair and equitable arrange
ment.
Resolred-That the laws in the several
States, designed to Cypress and degrade par
ticular classes of individuals, are lndefensi-
bic in principle, and ought to be repealed.
Resoired-That we fully believe that the
measures which we propose, the exclusion
of slavery from our national errilories-the
prohibition of slayeho'ding in all places I'M
der the exclusive jurisdiction of the national
government, and the Encouragement Of it in
the States by national example and recon-
mendation, will result, at no distant day, in
the establishment of emancipation through.
out the Union.
Rssolved-That we hail, with pleasure, the
beginning Of action in the slave States in IA
vor Of emancipation, and regard, with admir-
alton, those noble spirits who have engaged
in the Just work of Tedeeming their respec-
live States from tho curse which has long res
ted upon them.

lion, in conjunction with the Liberty party.
Saml. Lewis President. The Business Com
mitree reported a series of resolutions which

Gerrit Smith, from the Business Commit
tee, presented a series of resolutions as a mi
nority report.
The first of these declared it the duty of
the Liberty party to become a permanent par
ty, and extend its platform SO as to embrace
all the political wants of the country, espe-
cially a%nti-land monopoly, free trade, and
universal suffrage, without distinction of CO.
lor.
The second-Slavery in the District of Co
lumbia, and Territories, and States, was I'M
constitutional, and our Courts were bound to
decide thus, and annihilate the monster sys-
TEN at once.
After an Intellectual effort on the part of
Leavitt and others to suppress discussion on
Smiths resolutions, the Convention decided
to hear him.
His speech was a glorious vindication Of
our common Humanity, and made a deep and
happy impression on the Convention. lwould
greatly prefer to be the author Of that speech,
to being the candidate of the Liberty party,

it can be said they have any principles.

AErcDoTE.-Furius Cresinus, as mention
ed by Pliny, the Roman historian, was
formerly a slave. Having been made a free
man, he purchased a small spot Of ground,
from which he obtained through bis unwea-
ried industry much finer crops than any of
his Reighbors who had larger farms. This
excited general envy, which his enemies car
ried to such a length as to accuse him of en-
ploying magic charms to render his own
grounds fertile, and impoyerish theirs. The
Edith caused him TO be summoned TO appear
and laid the charge before the Romans
Cresinus obeyed the mandate, accompanied
by his daughter, a fresh aud healthy-col ored
girl, charms which appeared to the greater
advantage from the simplicity of her dress.
The accused also brought with him the tools
and implements of his profession. His mat
tocks were remarkably ready, his plough was
of an enormous size, aud his cattle were all
sound and fat. 'Behold," said this truly
d%ignifed and indignant farmer, "behold my
whole magical equipage! behold the charms
which have recourse TO. There are Others,
indeed, which ! am not capable Of bringing
before you'll mean the sweat Of NY brow,

8. The COnfeNeracY.'

This is to be the title Of an avowedly pro-
slavery paper which it is proposed to publish
in Pittsburgh. We find the following extracts
from the prospectus in the Mystery, and copy
them, not so much to give the publishers a
lift in their undertaking, as to show how des-
perate slavery is becoming in its dying strug-
giles. We are glad the proprietors of " The
Confederacy' are determined to have at least
one paper in the North honest enough to be
openly pro-slavery. If the legion of papers
that are now doing battle for this system un-
der their various political and religious ban
ners would but initiate this example, and run
up the pirate flag at once, it would be much
better for humanity. 1t is easier any time to
deal with an honest devil than with d canting
hypocrite. But to the extracts.
At the suggestion of many friends, and
with the appreciation of several distinguished
gentlemen residing in different parts of the
Union, we have concluded to a
newspaper bearing the above title. The lin
its OF a prospectus will not allow us to 90 in
to a detailed statement of the various causes
NllCl nave plOAlPttu Us W inc undertakings.
Sufficient for our present purpose is it to
state, that every true friend to the perpetual
ton Of the Union of the States must feel
deeply mortified to witness the systematic
attempts now making to dissolve it-and
cannot but deplore the silence of the North
ern press, generally, upon the subject. A
crisis is at hand. The 'Abolitionists,' Lib
erly men, and advocates of the 'Wilmot
Proviso' seem determined either to force our
Southern brethren to succumb to their views,
or, as the alternative, sever the Union.
From the apathy manifested in the North,
it is supposed by many that North of Ma
son and DiXon's line but one feeling exists
on tho subject; though this is not SO, still,
our silence is we'll calculated 70 suit the ends
sought for by these demagogues. We are
determined, therefore, 50 far as we are per
sonally concerned, to do our part towards
correcting the evil.

A Mistake.

II has been reported, we understand, that
our friend Garrison was taken very i'll again
at Buffalo on his way home. We are happy
to state that we have just received a letter
from a friend at that place, who saw him take
the cars in company with S. S. Foster and
II. c. Wright, on Saturday morning the
23I. We infer from the letter that he bore
his journey well, as the writer stated he was
recovering his strength, and his face wore its
usual cheerful aspect.
