them pass within view of the windows of
Van Buren's palace, but no man in Kim
derhook had ever heard the voice of Martin
Van Buren raised in their behalf-no word
of sympathy for these overtasked slaves of
the north had ever been known 10 pass his
lips "
What mockery are the professions OF
sympathy tor the oppressed, and of disgust
at the degradation of labor, coming from
the lips of man who is the constant OBJ
server of that oppression over those of his
own species almost at his own doors. Sla-
very, whether black or white, chattled or
wages, is great and growing evil, and
we have no disposition to justify or exten-
uate the one or the other, but would con-
denim BOTH That system of legalized fraud
which appropriates the avails of labor 10
the nggrandizing Of Incidence, the taking
advantage of a mans necessities and cir
cumstances to extort from him his labor
are as reprehensible as chattled slavery;
indeed they are branches Of the same trunk,
and we cannot uphold the one and condemn
the other. Those who have engaged in the
great work of liberation, should begin that
work at their own doors; they should pick
the beam from their. own eyes first; they
should go into the work with none OF the
stains of the oppressor upon their own
hands.

day evening next is the time fixed for holding
the primary meetings to choose delegates to the
County Nominating Convention to be held in

obtain full and fair representation of the feel

priety of embracing that occasion to form Dem
ocratic Club in every township of the county pre-
paratory to thorough organization. Too high

ganization, and the Democracy of Portage should
not be caught mapping; we should be up and do

taken from the English papers, and as con-
tanned IN the secret correspondence Of the

''lt the news of the great tattle of Slei-
venamon. contained in the secret letters to
the New York Tribune lie true, the news
in our despatch, that Ireland is subdued, is
false. The Tribune news seems to be
credited in New York by we'll informe
lrishmen there, and it seems that Halifax
papers have the news Of the same battle.

A Free Soil Candidate.

The Buffalo nominee for Vice President,
Charles Frances Adams, Esq, of Quincy
Manor, is the grandson, and inheritor of
John Adams, the incarnation of all that is
nonarchial in America. The estate trans
mitted in this family from father to son is
immense. Halfthe town of Quincy and
large districts in its neighborhood, have
been held from the first settlement of the
country by that family. The tile is the
Indian arrow head, obtained from The ubo-
rignes by the ancestors of the nominees.
This property is entailed in the Adams
family, being never bequeathed to the i'm
mediate, possessor but TO grand chlldren'
and it can neither be sold nor improved
The present C. F. Adams was offered
lately 100000 for single farm,on which
he is assessed $4,000 to the taxes, and
could not take it, He can neither ENJOY
it nor let others. This man is selected by
the anti rent, land reform, niger hugglng,
protectionist, barnburning. FREE SOIL party,
as its representative. A more thorough
landed aristocrat could not be found in the
whole country as candidate for land re-
form sufIrages. So neither could a more
sleadfast friend of slavery than Mr.. Van
Buren, be found to represent anti.slavery.
[. seems as if that incongruous party had
sought contradiction only as an element Of
unity. In one thing, however they are u
inform, and that is in countenancing none
but apostates.

gf Atthe barnburner mass meeting held in
this place on Tuesday of last week, Mr.. Chase,
one of the speakers, in order to excuse Mr.. Van
Buren, and his barnburner faction for their
treachery, asserted that the Baltimore Conven-
tion rejected the barnburner delegates from the
State of New York, and refused them O seat in
the convention. This charge is frequently made
by the supporters of MIR, Van Buren. Others
AGAIN there are who assert that the convention re-
quired such pledges of those delegates as COM
PEELED them to withdraw from the convention
When men set out to play the demagogue and to
deceive the people, they find falsehood better a.
dapted to the accomplishment of their purpose
than truth. Neither of the above charges is
true. The committee appointed to examine the
credentials did require such pledge, but the
convention rejected the report of the committee
and admitted both sets of delegates to take seats
in the convention and left the two sets of dele
gates to determine among themselves in what
manner the number of votes to which New York
was entitled should be cast. Was there any
the precedent established while Mr.. Van Buren
was himself before the convention of the Demo-
cratic party seeking nomination. Then such a
proceeding was perfectly proper, because Martin
Van Buren, was to be the recipient of party ia
vors! In 1885, there were two sets of delegates
from Pennsylvania, who were all admitted to
take seats in the convention, the same as were
the New York delegates in 1s4s and they were
required to settle among themselves the manner
in which the votes to which that State was en-
titled should be cast; so also we're the New York
delegates in 1885, and because the convention
would not take upon itself to do what the dele
gates should themselves have done before COM
ing before the convention, the Barnburner dele
gates made it an excuse for Withdrawing from
the convention, and, by the aid of the sore-head
and long-heel wings setting up for themselves,
their principal stock in trade being this species
of falsehood which their party huxters are sent
about the country to peddle out to the people.
OF all men in the world Martin Van Buren and
his friends should have been the last to take Of
fence at the treatment of the Barnburner dele
gates by the Convention.
