TIE DUTY OF WINGS!

JOSHUA r. GIDDINGs, a member Of Con-
gress from the Ashtabula (OhiO) District, Is
now cooperating with the % third party" In
1914, he was very angry with those who deem
ed it to be their duty to vote for Mr.. Birncy.
In letter which he published during the CAM
paign, he made use Of the following very con-
elusive argument -
SIT is said by hem that it is wrong to vote for
a stakeholder. answer, that, Il is The" dl-
ty to do Me greatest good in their porer, and 10
prcrent all era rhich ii is IN their po,cer 10 pre-
rent and if, to effect that object, it becomes
necessary to vote fer stakeholder, it will be
RIGHT and DUTY for them to do So"
This pungent argument is quite as applicable
now as it was in 1914. Then the absorbing
question was the Annexation of Texas. Now,
il is the extension of Slavery. Then, Mr..
Polk was avowedly in favor Of Annexation.
Now, Gen. Cass is pledged to veto any bill
which shall embody the Wilmot Proviso.
Then Mr. CLAY was believed to be opposed to
Annexation. Now, Gen. Taylor is known to
be in favor of permitting the decision of Con-
gress to stand as the law in regard to the Pro-
viso Then, the ''third party" seconded the G.
lection of Polk Now, Gen. Cas- has no hope
save in the action ofthat party. Then, "Free
Soil" men elected Slavery Propagandist.-
Now, they are endeavoring to repeat the same
fatal experiment-H. AlJdnS Messenger.

Mr.. GIDDINGs's OPINION OF MARTIN
VAN buren,. Though Mr.. Giddings is
now ready to hug Van Buren, in his boz
som, and to do all in his power to elevate
him once more to the Presidency though
he is now willing to swallow all his hostil
ity to internal Improvements, his snb-treas-
ury notions, his free trade and anti-tariff
principles, ii was not so a very short time
ago. Then, he thought Van Buren, any
thing but an honest man then, he consd
cred his present idol as an agent of slave
dealers and an abettor of slavery. Then,
he could use the following language in re-
lation to the man he now eulogizes SO
highly -
"But, Mr.. President, The President, in his
official character, entered upon his new
duties as agent for these slave dealers.
lie was under the necessity of appointing
an assistant TO carry on the negotiations
which he was about 10 open with the Gov
ernment of Great-Britain, in order to
"catch the negroes" or obtain pay for
them. He appointed as an assistant, resi-
of this city, Martin Van Buren,. who had
honorably defended the rights Of mankind
in the councils of his own state, but 'chO
nOw c0ndescended to become an assistant
broker in this slaUe dealing concern. Al
though Northern man, it became the
boast of his friends that he possessed
"Southern principles" He soon gave
satisfactory evidence Of his devotion to
the interests of his employers. Indeed,
had he been bred up in the business, he
would scarcely have discovered more ems
enlargement to the interest of slave-grow-
ers and slave-traders, than he manifested
on this occasion"
And again
"Sir, | may be led to confide in the hon.
or of stakeholder; but servile dough
face" is too destitute of that article to OBJ
tain credit with me- Mr.. Van Buren, has
placed the evidence of his servility con-
spicuously upon the records of our coun-
try. There it will remain and be regard
ed as an enduring memento of the degen-
eracy of the age, and of the men who then
filled our public stations"
And again
Before the money was obtained Mr..
Van Buren, was installed President of
these United States yet he continued to
act as the agent of the slave dealers, for
such he evidently considered himself"
