they demand progress. Thousands from the
wing party would have joined us long ago, but
Tor tile Ant-Slavery language ofGiddings SIade,
Stephen Z. Phillips, Charles F. Adams. and their
associates. They have assured the multitudes
In the wing ranks who really hate slavery that
the entire wing party would do something hand
some for them and for the slave, if they would
only wait and be patient. Some other great
questions were to be decided first, and then they
would make spirited work of the slave question.
Well, one cycle of hope for the slave wasted
away under the disastrous star of John Tyler
The wings mourned sceptre lost, they gave the
kiss OF Absalom to every friend of the slave, and
SAID with that pIous son of David o, that we
were King IN the land, every slave should be free.
There was some reason in it. Providence had
broken the sceptre of power Just as the party had
grasped It, and they threw off the responsibility,
and asked for another probation. 1t was as much
as many honest men could endure, that they
should run up the name of STAKEHOLDER and
duelst upon their flag but they put on also, the
President of the board of missions and the piety
OF the one was to be an Offset to the vices of the
other. 1t was not, they finally acknowledged,
the best thing they could desire in it's moral and
Anti-Slavery aspect, but IT was the best thing
that they could do, all things considerable was
only for that once Well, they kept iii large
portion of their party, but some capital blunders
on the part of their leader, Defeated the whole
scheme, and the whole party was we'll nigh in
ruins-The first plank they saw was the Anti
Slavery plank, and they affirmed they were going
ashore on that.
They have now thrown this aside and taken
SLdUery and the Merican Ddr as the rallying cry.

disappointment. There are thousands upon
thousands among the Wings that never can be
rallied under the banner of man that the Bos-
ton Wing accepts with some slaves, especially
will they draw back from the man with two hun
bred slaves and the blood of this war upon him
The Liberty party will certainly receive large ac-
ccssons during the coming year from the ranks
OF the Wings. No help for that gentlemen; it
must be. If you hold on to Gen. Taylor, thou
sands will forsake his banner, when the sober sec
ond thought of their better judgment begins to
operate. If you drop him, we can show them
that 1t is from mere policy, your papers and your
leaders have committed you to the most trucking
and unprincipled subseryency to the Slave pow
er.
What will the people think of leaders that de-
nounce Slavery one day, and the next, shout for
sayehodng President, from one end of the
land to the other?
They will never stand it; they will come to our
standard
How stand the democrats? They do not stand
at all-they have bowed down and put them
selves in the dust at the feet of the shareholders,
till they can stoop no lower-they have found
the lowest deep 1t was very bold measure
to thrust Mr.. Van Buren, aside and place Mr.
Polk on the track. But there are things that
cannot be repeated. The memory of the injured
pride of New York rankles deeply in the bosom
of many of her sons. Let another democratic
convention set aside the claims, not only of New
York, but of all the Free States, and democrats
of New York and Ohio will not he as tame as
the B oston whig when whipped by the leaders Of
its party They will rebel. Already Rathbun
says he will vote for no man that will not 90 for
the Wilmot proviso The South will have no
MN that will go for it. There must be an avail
anche OF democrats to join the Liberty Party
within the next fifteen months. Welcome all
We are "bound to have" growth of about fifty
thousand when the vote of lS4S is counted
Meantime, the work for such harvest must
be laid out and vigorously prosecuted And
here 1t seems to us highly important that our
great Convention, for the nomination of a can.
dldlte, and for the purpose of comparing notes,
should be at an early day the next autumn
, We have no conflicting claims of ciques and
individuals surrounded by strong personal friends
who will go warmly for them, and very modera-
tely for any one else. We have our own pre-
, ferences but we will sacrifice them at moment
for the sake Of our higher preferences for the sa,
cred principles for which we plead.
An early nomination would greatly tend tc
united and vigorous action, and would bring in
: at once, as we think, many who are now disgust
+ ed with war declared to extend and support
: Slavery and resting as it does upon the shoulder
