AUBURN Aug. 3D. Isis.
DEAR SIR. ] am profoundly grateful to the Central
Committee OF Orleans County for the Expressions of
respect and esteem with which they urge me % tpt
their invitation 70 the Council they are 10 hold n Albion
for the purpose Of considering the wing National NO
limitations
have sunk into professional ensarcmenf so deeply
that scarcely retain an abiding a. home, end Am ln
able 10 observe punctuality in my correspondence
These circumstances must plead my apology not only
for my delay in answering the Invitation but also Tor
declining % accept d.
The party which il now administering the Fedora.
Government is party Of nact0n in regard % iaca
ton Industry internal Improvements Mclorttion and
Emancipation. 10 e their creed that the danger OF
abuse Of the powers OF Government d greater than the
benefits OF their paternal eXercisetlat tue cOnsuiu
nona capacity oil the Government Tor lenClccnt acton
il very limited and that the most benign and saiutaTy
junction OF the Executive y 10 defeat and thus impair
ambitious vi military rcnOwn, and reckless 10 terrOr
al ACKNOWLEDGMENT by fraud and vice.
In my judgment the type OF Democracy should be
Peace Moderation, Lniranchisement and b,nehcence.
40 Il less apt exaggeTate the merits OF the Wing
party in regard 10 these principles than J. who 90 con
stsntiy ondeavOr 10 stimulate i 70 greater enterprise
But after charc q 10 with all the uniaithiuness OF
which Il can Justly be accused Il still stands before tie
country and the world the American party, en- nenty
devoted 20 the great interests of humanity
No member Of the party Is accountable ior the seec
ton OF rs candidates farther than he may have acted
or refraintd from acting u their selection When the
.nlg Ft. a a l
whether the party It'll deserves his support IN prefer
ence 70 It's adversary. We cannot Withhold our sup
port without endangerins the present success and the
ultimate usefulness of the Wing party II u De defeat
ed the policy Of the present Adiainisf alton VIII prevail
not only but for an indefinite period. No Wing
thinks for Of voting for the candid ties 81
the Baltimore Convention but we are tempted 10 cast
our sutf0ees Tor the third party. Is the thlTd party
more pure or more devoted 10 Human Liberty now
under the lead Of Martin Van Buren,, than L was four
wears ago under the banner OF James q. Birueyf ]
confess think IL less So for the life and cOnversa-
ton Of M Birney illustrated the unique aud the
enthusiastic benevoence u the Liberty party 10 the
third party more likely to succeed now than It was
then see reason to expect that II can secure the
electoral vote OF any state IN the Union. hoEOs Mr
Van Blren aud his associates for their secession from
a party which il false freedom. But regret their
IN falling into the ranks OF third party whose
services in the cause of Human Freedom counter
acted and nearly balan, ed by their OF indirectly
M strength and power 20 the great slavery party Of
the country Every Wing vote cast Tor the third party
is only ne sauvc protest against the slavery party
Real friends OF Emancipation must not be- content with
protests They must act-aci wisely and efficiently.
For myself shah cast my suffrage for Gen TAYLOR
and Tor NLLIAKD FILLMORE, freely and constellation
Is, ON precisely the same grounds on which have
heretofore voted for NAig candidates because they
are commended % me by the Wing party, and
their success j. necessary for their continued and
increasing usefulness. 10 the name aud character
OF the latter have every guaranty that Wing can
desire In the moderation OF the other and his desire
70 administer the Government the President oil the
whole People not fer mere partisan ends recognize
claims 70 public confidence which have 40 fear will
ever be disappointed.
am very respectfully your obedient servant,
WILLIAM II SEWARD.
