GREENMOUNTAIN FREEMAN
The DOcuments.~.CirCuIat Them

Each succeeding day brings with it new evidence
ofthe Importance OF making the present campaign one
of vigorous and united exerton. Public mind is ripe
fully ripe for the issue which the action of the Ma
Onal conventions of the two major parties has forced
upon the people, and all that is needed is, that we
'walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we call
ed" and victory is The victory may not be one
of complete triumph over slavery and its hosts but it
may be one which will abash the MONSTER and glad
den the heart of the Liberty-loving. Men have look
ed to the action Of old organizations for the adoption
of measure for the furtherance of the work of
Universal Liberty in our land, but nOiV they turn
away with disgust and self abasement. Of the true
character of the fair sentiments offered them by poit
cal juggers they are fully convinced The rotten
and hypocrisy of them revealed with such force
that the honest will not longer attempt any evasion.
BY the barganers they have been often sold to do the
work Of the oppressor, and often been made to be-
lieve that for this once, it a mandate to which
they must yield obedience, if they would do that which
for the interest of the whole and as often also,
have they been made to understand that after this, po-
htical action should be dictated with direct reference
to the great question of brotherhood among American
citizens. Many have believed it, and have no doubt
acted honestly in the belief that their parties would
such fulfil the pledges they had made: but another
campaign is open, and the parties instead Of verifying
their words by their actions have shown that they
receding rather than approaching the standard of Lib
erty established in 1776 In view of this, men are
forsaking old organizations. They are mass in COM
motion-unsettled distracted and confused; they know
not what is best, or whether to turn.
Such an occasion is most suspicious one, to seize
upon this unsettled mind and bring its power and in
fuence to bear upon the balance of equality. To eff
feet this most completely let anti-savry reading be
put in swift circulation throughout our whole State
Let the circulation of Liberty papers be thorough
give each waverng mind an opportunity to understand
the system and principles ofthe Liberty organization
and we will reap rich reward. Men are convicted
and need light and what is far more, are anxious to
receive it. Will Liberty men be dormant them Will
they delay? Time is short, and what we do we mus
do quickly Let each one whose attention may
be attracted to this brief article, do what he
can to secure, in some form, the ide-spread cir
culation of ant-slavery reading. We care not wha
papers, or how they are circulated only let them bc
brought before the mind that that field which nov
unoccupied may not be occupied by the servants ant
instrumentalities of American Despots. Let us err
another week shall pass hear many loud responses
this CALL
We would not be over utgent, but NOW is TIL
TIME! What you do will not be lost, and in n
season which may follow, do we predict that wor
F may be so effectually done as IT'S not for u
that we ask-but looking to the elevation of debase
man, we earnestly entreat you to labor Labor nol
