Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1847-02-11


Mn. EprroR-The editor of the Waterman seems
to be little disoueted of late on account of an al
legged Inconsistency Of the "third party" IN not vot
ing for Mr.. Chandler He seems to say that, mas
much as Mr. Chandler and the wing party IN this State
were pledged to "ant-slavery sentiments" the LOer-
ty voters in this district were in duty bound to aban-
don their own candidate and vote for Mr. G., and
thereby prevent the election of "friend of slaveo
cratic administration" who but the Liberty party
have not a right to stick to their candldate0 Be
fore proceed, let me inquire who but the wing party
is responsible for the election of the "Saveocratc"
candidate? Does not the sensitive editor know, that
before Mr. Chandler was put in nomination, last sum
mer, there was already in the field man pledged to
SAINT slavery sentiments" who was every way quaif-
ed and in no way Objectionable to any portion of the
opponents of the "saveocratc administration" unless
forsooh objection is made on account of his "anti-
slavery sentiments" or "Liberty party nOtiOns2" Ger
tainy, the editor and the wings generally, must have
known what would have been the natural consequence
in bringing forward third candidate, land Mr. C. |
believe was the third man put in nomination viz to
throw the election in favor of the 'slaveocratc" can
didae. Again, would inquire who can doubt, if
Mr.. Chandler had been elected, that he would have
voted if called upon have almost all the wings Tor
supplies to prosecute the for the extension and
perpetuation of SLAVERY? o, yes, he must of course
60 with his party or suffer reproach as have many
others who have had the courage to break loose from
party trammels and espouse the cause obituary.
Again; who believes that Mr.. c. and the wing party
generally, will not support any Shareholder that may
be put in nomination by national whlg convention
for the campaign of l848 they did Mr. Clay, in 44i
What avails it then that Mr. Chandler and the wing
party of Vermont had distinctly protested antl-slavey
sentiments and prncples:" But it that the ed
itor would fain make us believe that he himSeJ'is
consistent abolitionist; but before acccde to aIt HI
SAYS let us first examine the EVIDENCE
When does the editor talk most and loudest agains
slavery and in favor of aboitons ,? o. just before
"mportant election" when he wants to catch few alb
clifton votes Is he particular to inquire into the anti
slavery sentiments of candidate flor office? No h
only inquiries, is he chig? and if So he will sup
port him if stakeholder
Do anti slavery articles frequently grace the column
mems Meetings. Where are those strong abolitlo
sentiments which abounded so pentlully IN his pape
Just before the late election in this district? All ai
up "upon the shelf" for another Like emergency, whcl
! perhaps, they will make their appearance in ne
dress, or new name and, if possible, with more braI
coors.
Now Mr.. Editor, it appears to me that such allegt
tons as have been put forth of late by the Watchma
editor, that the third party has mol supported an
slavery principles" in supporting true anti-save
man, comes with an i'll grace, especially from one wi
could soeak with cold hemted indifference of the ina
tyred Torrey, while breathing out his expiring IN
= mcnts under the rod Of OPPRESSION within the walls
saveocratic prison; evidently uFoogzing for Il
slave ocracy of Maryland; and who, in reality has
. abolition sentiments, except what the crgrncy of t
t. case may seem to him to require
Yours Truly,
TRUTH
