August, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Let a full representation of the slaves
friends come up on this occasion from all
parts of the Great West. The political lead
ers are marshalling their hosts for a conflict,
their followers are %rallying by hundreds Of
thousands to the support Of their party BAN
ners. Time, and money, and labor are ex-
pended to secure their object. And shall the

strong in the power of Truth, be lukewarm

The events Of the past year should encourage
us to renewed effort, for every movement of
importance which has been made, having any
bearing upon the question of slavery, fore
shadows the destruction of the system, and
the oppressors feel that it is so. The politi-
cal parties will make a desperate effort to save
themselves from the destruction their corrup-
ton has brought upon them; and the efforts
of the abolitionists TO maintain and enforce
the Right should be proportionably great
Arrangements should be made at the coming
meeting to continue the anti-slavery agitation
by the lips of the living speaker, and to ex-
tend more widely the circulation of the So

Politics.

The Democratic papers are filled with re-
cords of Wing defalcations, and the Whig
papers TEEN with accounts of Democratic
boiling. Both are silent in regard 10 the de-
lection in their own party and when the
fact is pressed upon them, and they are COM
PEELED to admit that they see the signs of an
approaching storm, they reply as did the man
to Noah when the waters of the delupe he.
gan to swell, "We don't believe there is
going to be much of a shower after ALL"
The signs in the political heavens are
watched with more or less interest by all.
whether voters or non-voters, whether advo-
Gates of constitutional compromises or Dis
unlonists. Speculation is rife as to the COM
ing Presidential election, and it needs no
prophet to foretell that, result as it may, mil
lions will be bitterly disappointed. Those
whose consclences are so unenlightened, ors so
accommodating as to permit them to purchase
a vote by swearing TO support a pro-slavery
constitution, have no lack of candidates from
which 10 select. There is General TAYLOR,
the bloodhound candidate, the plain, blunt,
unmitigated STAKEHOLDER, who is an admira-
BILE representative of the character and spirit
OF the American government; there is Lewis
Cass, a cringing, fawning dough-face, who
is willing to become all things to all men, if
by SO doing he can make his presidential
calling and election sure, and who truly rep.
resents the spirit of the North, or, may we
not say, the former spirit of the North T.
And among the rest comes Martin Van Buren,,
who is destined TO play no unimportant par
in the game. He stands forth as The repre-.
sentative of the Wing and Democratic, aye.
and of the Liberty party bolter. His anti
slavery perceptions are as yet exceedingly
dim-he sees the three millions of slaves il
our land, not as men, but as trees walking, anC
though somewhat astonished at the sight, he i,
not prepared to recognize their rights as men
The Independent Democrats present thei
candidate, John P. Hale, and urge his claim.
