Particular Notice.

Those good and true Wings" who have
heretofore found themselves unable to come into
the support of Gen. TAYLOR " because he is not
a Wig" are respectfully invited TO meet on
Saturday evening next, in front of the Free
Soil Courier office, TO take steps to secure the
election of that good and true Whig," Martin
Van Buren,. An adjournment will be made to
the cover Of the town well, in rear Of the Court
House, where eloquent members of the late
Whigparty will fully explain Qrom the windows
OF the County Clerk S and the States Attorneys
olices) the difference between Cass. who is
pledged to Veto bill aboshing Slavery in the
Territories (where it does not EXIST and Van
Buren,, who is pledged to Veto bill abolishing
Slavery in the District Of Columbia (where it
does exst)
Locofoco Barnburners are particularly request
ed to keep away, as this is family meeting, and
nothing is to be said about the Tariff of A. the
Sub-Treasury, or any other of the distinctive
principles and measures that have hitherto pre-
vented Mr.. Van Buren, from being a good and
true Wing"
1t is expected that Mr.. Van Buren's casting
vote in the Senate in favor of giving Southern
Postmasters the right to violate the mails aud
burn or otherwise destroy" all abolition mat,
ter found therein, will be explained in manner
entirely consistent with the present position
of that distinguished friend Of Freedom and
that the following passage in his recent Utica
ctter, dated June 20, 1913, and phich is in no
respect amended or modified in his stu more re-
cent letter to The Buffalo Contention will receive
a satisfactory" free soil interpretation
"Whle the candidate (says Mr.. Van Buren,
"of my friends for the Presidency, distinctly
" announced my opinion in favor of the pow er OF
" Congress TO abolish Slavery in the District OF
" Columbia, although was, for reasons which
pere then, AND ARE STILL satisfactory ID

The Cass Platform.

As the " Democratic" press in this State is
rather shy, for a certain reason about presenting
the whole platform laid down at their Baltimore
Convention, we submit the following:
l>t The seven fundamental principles of the
party to wit the five loaves and two fishes. -
I'd. Swartwout's Saamander Safe, or the
Sub-Treasury.
Sd. The unconstitutionality Of snags in Salt
River.
4th. The Sentinels views of Casss position
in favor of Free Soil.
9th. The Annexation Of Cuba and jamaica
the " Jutalo hunt on the Rio Grande, or 'swal.
lowing" The rest of Mexico.
9th. The great principles embodied in Cass 5
letter to the Chicago Convention
It'll Circumstances, "noise and confusion"
and" extra ratons."
sth. Folks Tariff the Famine in Europe, Free
Trade and Free plumber.
9th The Slavery that walked out of the I'm.
ion through Bob Walkers Texas gate.
10Th Six lives of Cass and one of Louis
Philippe.
llth A broken sword.
18th. bottle of Jordan water to baptze the
Kings grandson.
1t may be proper to remark that Gen. Cass
will be guided in his views by the tail Of the
Texas comet, and will follow in the footsteps
of his iustrious predecessor (only little more

will found confidence in the new admin tration

Signs.

A gentleman from Wil'iston informed us. to.
day, tsat "A goodly number of Wings whose long
cherished hostility to the extension of Slavery
had led them to sympathze with the Free
Soil movement, and to subscribe for the Free
Soil Courier" have had their eyes opened rery
ride by the nomination of Martin Van Buren,
by the Buffalo Convention, and Immediately on
hearing of that transparent piece OF humbuggery
discontinued their subscriptions to that new and
fourishing organ of dissension. The number
of WINGS that will be caught in trap baited
by the " Undertook fox" is growing small by
degrees and beautifully less When Wings
mean to leave their party on the Siarery issue,
they will not enroll themselves under leader
who pledges himself to Veto bill for the abo-
lition of Slavery in the District of Columbia!

The Gazette in Trouble I

On the 9th of July, the Liberty Gazette in
commenting on Van Burens Utica letter, use
the following language:-
Mr.. Van Burens letter is now before It is
much too long for columns 1T is written in that
full perfection of ubricy for which his style is noted.
1t is Just what he to say, in the snoothest and
most winning terms, and the best possible English.
lie is still for guaranteeing 10 the South full posses
sion of her Siarery nithm itspresen limits and jus
fes all his past resistance TO the addition agitation,
and no man erer resisted it more e6ectudiiy'
On the Sd of August, in speaking of the do
ings' Of the late Barnburner Convention at Mid
debury, got up and worked by boiling Locofo-
cos for the purpose of swallowing the Liberty
party" as Cass proposed to swallow Mexico,
our anxious friend Of the Gazette spoke as fol-
lows -
We confess we somewhat disappointed at the
result OF this Convention, for we had hoped they would
nominate, at least, some part OF Ticket. AS it
now is, the course shall pursue niH depend rery
much upon circumstances.
In the same number, in abiding to the posi-
BILE action OF the Buffalo Convention, the Gazette,
with marked and manifest reference TO the "Fox
of Lindenwald," says
Liberty men, mould feel cheap" enough, if they
should assist in etecting a man TO the Frequency
pho should deem it inerpedient to sign bill to aboI-
ish SldUe,y in the District " Columbia"
Now, then, what is to become of Sister Briggsl
At present this is d" the great question of the
age" Martin Van Buren,, who, as the Gazette
says, " is still for guaranying to the South the
full possession of her Slavery within its present
limits" expressly including The District Of Column
bia,and who reterates the opinion that he "should
deem it nerpediem to sign bill to abolish Slave
ry" in that District has been nominated by the
great Buffalo Convention for President, lover
John p. IIale) in consequence Of the overwhelm-
| ing predominance, in that Convention, of Polk.
and-Texas Locofocos, over Liberty men and
Wings. Lawrence Brainerd, the Liberty" can.
didate for Governor, acted with that Convention
Qhough, our life for it, he did not vote for Mar
Tin Van Buren, , and there were quite enough
other prominent members Of that exclusively an
ti.Slavery party present to render their defeat
something to brag of. They were defeated and
now it remains to be seen whether the Liberty
Party will consent 10 take step backuards and
renounce Their position of hostility to the contin-
uance of Slavery in the District of Columbia,
for the purpose of aiding Martin Van Buren, and
his clique of dishonest Locofocos in New York,
in their scheme of rerenge against Lewis Cass
for cheating the said Martin out of the Locofoco
nomination for President in 1874 This is pre-
csely the question to be settled BY the Liberty
Party" and We look with rational anxiety for
the course" that circumstances" may oblig 9
our beloved friend of the Gazette to pursue.
circumstances are sometimes awkward things
to manage but these seem to be the awkwardest
we ever did hear Of
