out their respective parties to the slave power The
burden is too great for backs already bowed beyond
endurance. Men who have for years been opening
their eyes to the astounding encroachments of the
slave power-its unbushing violations of the Ccnstl-
tution-its arrogant demands uponN orthem freemen-
its deadly hostility to every thing worthy of free and
Christian people-cannot be induced to throw them
selves into its greedy jaws. The party managers vast
y moderated the intelligence and moral frmness of
of the masses when they appealed to them to raty the
infamous bargain. The al-powertul charm of cherish
ed party principles has lost its magic influence, for these
have all been bartered for the poor prospect of the
few crumbs that fall from the sumptuous table Of the
arrogant STAKEHOLDER. Men can no longer be deceiy-
ed The way ,faring man, though fool, cannot but
understand it; and thousands of honest men will rise
up in the majesty of insulted and betrayed freemen,
to visit upon the heads of the authors of this nquty
the condemnation they so richly merit
All eyes have have been turned with intense inter-
est upon the Wilmot Proviso Democratic convention,
at Utica, New York, the Ohio Peoples convention,
and the Forthcoming one at Worcester Mass We
have partial reports from the two former In another
column will be found such news the telegraph fur
nishes from the Utica convention. We can hardly be-
leve them IN earnest in the nomination of Martin Van
Buren, for it is almost incredible that he would con-
sent to run One thing however is clear; they are
utterly hostile to Cass and Butler, and we trust that
ere long they will be ready to go into national con-
veltion and unite with all the friends of free princi
pies and free territory in the selection Of candidate
The meagre news from the Ohio convention repre-
sents it as being composed Of delegates from every
Congressional district in the State save ONE
The nomination of Taylor utterly repudiated and
the convention adjourned to meet in National Conven-
ton for nomination at Buffalo, on the 9th of August
next We trust that after SO long delay, the real op-
ponents of the slave power in all parties will be ready
to unite in support of that noble champion of free prn
cples-JOHN P. HALE.
We are encouraged to hope this from an able article
in the last Boston Wing paragraph or two of which
we copy below. We confidently hope that the Wor-
cester convention will be fully prepared to take this
ground on its assembling
"The Wilmot Proviso Convention which is to as
sembe in Columbus, Ohio this month"; and the Barn
burner Democratic Convention, which is TO meet in
Utica, N Y, all have similar aim in vew viz to
lect standard bearer to lead them in the present
crisis in arresting the farther extension of slavery
Why should they not all hit upon the same candidate?
Why not and all, irrespective of party and sect
unite upon that bold and independent advocate Of

setts year after year, gives forth to the world while
