stock" as Liberty paper printed above a

selves and our readers as we should like to,
with "reminiscences" A friend of ours has
however handed us news item from some
paper of the last month, which is as follows:
LIBERTY PARTY IN VERMONT. - The
Liberty party Of Vermont held their State
Convention last week. The old candidates
were nominated for State officers. An effort
was made to postpone action upon National
affairs until after the Buffalo Convention
This was voted down, ten to one. Hon.
John p Hale was declared to be their candi-
date, and happen what may, they would abide
by him. In a word, "TnEY sruHN TIE
BRIDE"
The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1848-08-23

Let us awake. Shall the Chief Magistracy be
polluted thus, and shall men, Americans, counte-
nance the prostitution? And even think it an OBJ
lection to candidate that he is mot an ultra par
tizan"? This office used to be respectable.
| ain that elder day
| To he Roman was greater than to be king"
Is it great to be the President of party? To dole
out the honors Of the State in reward for partzan
services? And, forgetting the nation whose repre-
sentative he is to expend upon the beggorly inter
ests of party the energies that should be only hers
And do we sustain federal government, and enjoy
the glorious elective franchise, and boast OF Our
Constitution, and think our liberties cheaply bought
with "earth's best blood''-for his2 Out upon it !!
Argument disdains to descend into such an arena
It's opponent is not fit to hear himself convinced"
4. The President should not be pledged to carry
through, Or to defbat certain measures by his inhu
ence and prerogatve. He should be man incapa-
bic of buying Office at the expense of such disgrace.
No man is ignorant of the object of these pledges
They are bids for the Presidency. They are brides,
offered to secure the suffrage Of uncertain unsta
Bile voters. They are of the nature Of q bargain.
"Disgacc yourselves by promoting me to Office"
(say they "and will disgrace myself by pcrycrt-
ing its prerogatives in your behalf"
We are content to say the less Of this, because
the objections to ii have already been sufficiently
implied. 1t is an abuse still recent in the history
CT our rapidly rpcning confederacy. Mr.. Van Blu
rem was the first TO record therein His "evidonce of
his servty." It's there, Gan enduring memento of
the degeneracy of the age, and of its public men,"
TO sketch its subsequent history would lead us out
of the present scope Of these remarks, From the
which the contemplation Of it engen-
ders, we gladly turn to remember the unambitous
and quiet self-concentration of our Washington in
that elder day." who, neither seeking nor refusing
the responsibilities of Office but modestly avowug
his incompetency for its duties, and calmly refusing
in any wise to pre-pedge his Presidential career
left written upon the record Of his conduct the SEN
timent which has since found words and uttcrancc,
