~ The following retort upon Joshua A. Spen-
Ger, Taylor wing Of New York, applies mnst
admirably to many of the traduccrs Of Mr.. Van
Buren, in our own State. and our o'On Uitldge.
1t is little remarkable that, with scarcely one
exception, the old line antisIavery men, who have
abored long and faithfully g. sacrifcingly in the
cause, have the greatest confidence in the pres
ent position Of Mr.. Van Buren, upon the slavery
question: while those who have ever been the
most INSCRIPTIONS reyIlers and prosecutors of
abolitonsm in every form, and are now splitting
their Threats in huzzas for an unmitigated slave
holder and oppressor of his fellow men, stand
aghas at the proslaverysm of Mr.. Van Buren,
ROLAND FOR AN OLlvER.-Joshua H. Spen-
Ger, few days since, made speech at Oswego
in which he assaulted Mr.. VAN buren, for SUBJ
serviency to the slave power. The PatLadium
thus resorts in some we'll put interrogatories:
"Now Joshua let us see what yOu were doing
about the time you say that Mr.. Van Buren, was
lending himself to the slave power. We have
an indistinct recollection that yOu were one of a
few individuals who headed u MOB to prcUent
the holding Of an abolition meeting in Utica
If we recollect right the meeting was BROKEN
UP through the influence of yourself and Others
,Oho acted nth yOu-that the friends of emanci
patton were dispersed through your agency, and
compelled to go to Petersboro TO transact their
business! You recoect these things, do you
mott If you do, we would like to know with
what grace you ask people to trust yOu, when
you are afraid to trust Mr. Van Buren,, who ha,
committed less aggravated sins? Come, speak
out! If you concede that you are not to be
believed yOurseF perhaps we will concede that
Mr.. Van Buren, is not"

Hear this, Good,

There are many voters who say that they would pre-
fer the election of Van Buren, to that of CasS Tay
lor-some on the whig and some on the Democratic
side;but they say, Also that, Van Buren, cannot be
elected, they mus take either Cass or Taylor, then
preference may be- A writer in the New York eve
ming Post suggests the following method by which
they can, on both sides, vote for the whose cleo
ton they would PREFER and at the time not weak
en- the chance of the candidate they would take
second choice 1t is thus: Let any democrat or whig
who would prefer the election of Van Buren,, agree
with one of the opposite party who should also prefer
his election, to bOh Uote for Fan Bmen, and thus pat
off from the old parties to the man whose election
they would choose in preference to either Of the pro-
slavery candidates This helps to strengthen the vote
of the Free Soil candidate and to bis election
while it leaves the other candidates without any rea
tive advantage over each other In this way many Of
both the old parties can vote directly for Freedom
ganst slavery extension, and leave the tLco eus with
out any choice between them!

A Word to Democrats.

Your great object you say, is to defeat the wings.
You have you admit quarrel with the Free Soil
about their principles in relation to slavery and its
extension. Now permit US to ask you how you can
deliberately go and vote for Cuss and Butler in this
State, against the Free Soil ticket when, by so doing,
you will help to secure the of the Taylor elect
ors, while, by voting for the Free Soil electoral ticket
you sacrifice no principle and defeat the wings? Why
not carry out your hostility to the wing party and its
game of deception and fraud when by so doing you
lose nothing? Ifyou go aud vote for Cass and But
ler you do, in effect though indirectly vote Tor the
success of the Taylor wings! Do you prefer Taylor
Whggery to the true democracy of the Free Soil par
"? Do you prefer sOvehoding wing to an old
friend for whom you have heretofore done buttle lin
perious tmes2 Have you fallen in love with your
old enemies so deeply that you must needs hep them
to triumph, by your votesF Consult your own
judgments about this matter and do not suffer few of
your designing and interruptions leaders to urge you
against your convictions, into course so unnatu
raj an suicidal. Who knows but that the vote of
Vermont pay secure his election? Then why should
d. aaefdts give him the vote Of Vermont? Can any
deaocrot who is sincere IN his opposition to Taylor
i'm iie4,e as to which is the best to pursue?
Can he hesitate to take the electoral vote Of VelmOn
from Taylor at all eVeniS?

"WHOM THE GODS WILL TO DESTROY
THEY FIRST MAKE MAD."-The course which
the wings have pursued, during the present session,
shows that they are driven to madness In addition
to their Legislation in reference to the Congressional
elections, they played another more shameless and
desperate game to coerce the democrats and free soil
men into the election of Senator. Because the
latter would not agree, the part of the House, to
90 into election, at the very moment the wings de
minded, the wings, in joint assembly, deliberately re
fused to confirm the county nominations made in Or
ange, Chittenden and Lamoe counties, and avowed
the profgate purpose of coercing the democrats and
free soil members to agree forthwith upon the cleo
ton of Senator, by refusing to confirm tn Use nomina
tons and this too,when the wings, having majority
in the Senate had made no move on the subject and
had expressed no wish to proceed to that election
And to show that this was matter agreed upon by
the whigs the very day after they had postponed the
confirmation of the county nominations, the question
of proceeding to the election of Senator was called
up in the Senate, and the wings, in that body instead
of passing resolution for that purpose, and sending
it to the House, deliberately voted it to the table,
and there it has lain until this time, Oct. Both!
But honor to the Free Soil men and democrats, they
met this foolish threat of the wings, with most de-
ermined resistance and defiance, and by increased
majority postponed the resolution for he election Of
Senator, in the House, from Friday until the Tuesday
following. This brought the whigs,inj Joint assembly,
to a sense of their duty and knowledge of their i'm.
potency, and they confirmed the county nominations
at the next meeting of the joint assembly, without a
sch'sp~ Of opposition!
The people may depend upon it, that the Free Soil
men in the Legislature, with one or two exceptions
made of stern stuff and cannot be bluffed by whg
bullying and clustering.

TAYLOR MinStrelSy,

the Club sung to scorn the "Frec Soil" of Mr.. Van

still many of them made very free with the soil in our
streets before morning. and manifested particular

sentiment, with the Van Buren, men; nothing
but an old and unfortunate prejudice, alienates
Massachusetts, from New York The assurance
of the free soil leaders is, that the living men
will give a majority for Van Buren, how the
resurrected dead may stand, no man knows but
even they cannot give majority to Taylor.
Ohio is doubtful she may go for Cass she
cannot go for Taylor; if the prayers of the free
sellers avail, she will 90 for Van Buren,
Pennsylvania will be thrown into the hands Of
Taylor. The free soil vote, which, it is cacu
lated will equal the vote of Cass in New York,
will be drawn mainly from the democratic
strength. An immense free soil vote will be
cast in Illinois, Indiana, &c, and heavy vote
also in Iowa, Michigan, Connecticut, and New
JERSEY, which may not directly swell the free
soil strength now, but which will operate pow
erfully and erratically on the chances of the
two leading candidates. The division may give
Illinois to Taylor; but it, in return, may give
Indiana to Cass, reversing former results, and
"confoundng wsest councils"
Allowing that these eccentric results will bal

For the Green Mountain Freeman.
Is he Capable? is he Honest?

MR. EDIToR:--ft is time to try by the test of JEFF
feson those candidates fr the first Office in our ma
ton. Their names have been paraded before us
some of them in large capitalists for US to examine
their character. In search for political TRUTH follow
ing the great Champion of freedom we have had to
leave the democratic and wing parties and we'll take
this test with u.s.
And "briefy, them" IS Zachary Taylor capable" Of
presiding this nation; Of directing our councils,
and giving tone and stability to laws fit for frecmen?
No one can answer this question aifirmatively. He
has had no experience as stateslnun and chief of
the party who trying to elect him, has declared
that his ''was nomination not fit to be made" Dan
tel Webster is high authority, and undoubtedly cor
rect: of course, Gen. 7. is not capable He may be
onest-and 50, without doubt, are many idiots.
But is the other candidate, Lewis Cass, honest?
Two years ago he advocated the Jefersonian prin-
ciple which, sixty one years ago, made territory
(which has grown to five large and happy States
FREE Last winter he abandoned this principles and
every one that votes Tor him, ust6es him for this der
ELECTION and adurng of LIBERTY. If shareholders
have his SOUL let them tuke his body too he has made
himself unfit to breathe free air. His party have
appreciated his character and show it by leaving him
But ulges Mclean and Bronson have said that our
territory is free; that slavery cannot exist there
And who are the other Judges of the Supreme Court?
Do not the Chief Justice und two thirds Of the ASSIST
ant Justices live in slave States?
thousand thanks to Judges Mclean and Bronson,
for the opinion they have expressed but should they
ever be called 10 oct their opinion, they would find
themselves like unto two of jury with a Judge and
four other jurymen against them.
No. If TOE cannot, and do not, preserve Liberty, it
will not be preserved
And now, let us apply our test to the latest named
canddate--to Mptin Van Buren,. With experience
that but few have had and ability that excel he
evinces honesty that none have doubted We, as
voters Go endorse his former of opinion,
Practice but take him as he noV is And we do 1t TO
support and cherish principle which we, as slavery
hating, but Liberty loving freemen hope to yet see as
predominant as in 1857
"Where liberty dwes, there is my country"
Shame on us Sncey not only dwells among us
but rules US. Is this democratic? A handful Of
shareholders rule The south their RUM and the nation
to our disgrace.
The remedy--a peaceful one--is at handand he thai
uses and applies it free from the rcproach which
will forever rest on those who resist not the extension
of slavery.
