'The Liberty Party
p. P. too late for this week.

The party which once claimed this name
closed its brief existence at Buffalo in IS49,
when il became absorbed into what is now
called the Free Democracy Some Of its
original members, however, still retain a
separate organization and adhere to the old
name, and they recently met in State Con-
vention at Cortlandville, N. Y. The NOV
ing spirit of this small body is Gerrit Smith,
a man whose philanthropy is unquestioned
whatever may be thought Of his wisdom, as
a politician. The immediate object of the
Convention was to nominate candidates for
various State Offices. Among the resolutions
adopted was one denouncing as unworthy of
support the American Missionary Associa-
tion,' mot the American Board SO called, }
and the American Baptist Free Mission So
ciety,' on the ground that their officers and
members voted for Van Buren,. The Con-
%vention then proceeded TO stullify itself by
nominating as its candidate for Controller
Lewis Tappan, the Treasurer Of one Of The
Societies thus put under the ban. If it is
wicked to support a Missionary Society
whose officers and members vote for pro-sla-
very men, is it not equally wicked to attempt
to put into civil Office the chief fugleman Of
such Society-lhe very man who holds the
purse strings' Lewis TaPpan is the begin.
ming, middle and end of the American Mis-
sionary Association, and it puzzles us to un.
derstand how the Convention contrived to
swallow the one and throw away the other,
It's none of our business, however.

The Discussion.

II affords us pleasure to announce, uncon-
di,ionally, that a Public Discussion Of the
Morality and Policy Of Voting under the U.
s.. Constitution, will take place between II,
L. Preston & H. c. Wright, at the Friends
(Hicksite) Westinghouse, in Salem, com.
mencing on Monday next. at 10 o'clock, A.
NJ, and continuing by a%djournments through
that and the day following.
The proposition to be debated has been
agreed 10 by Mr.. Preston and the Committee,
(subject to the revision of H. G. Wright,)
az follows:
1T is both moral and polite 10 vote under
the u. S.. Constitution, for the purpose OF
abolishing Slavery and the measures Of the
American A. S. Society are inadequate to de-
liver the Slave"
The latter clause has been added without
Mr.. Wright's authority, and it will be for
him to say whether 1t shall stand or not. We
shall not interfere in the matter any farther
than to express the hope, that the question
will be so framed as to render il impossible
for Mr.. Preston to evade the great moral issue
between Free Sellers and Disunionists in re-
Ia,ion 10 the character of the U. s. Constitu-
ton and the responsibility of those who vote
under it. That settled first, the way will be
legitimately prepared to discuss the relative
adaptation and efficiency Of the measures pro-
posed by the two parties respectively.
The disputants will occupy half an hour
each alternately, Mr.. Preston opening the de-
bate.
We hope our friends will generally attend
this discussion. 1t can hardly fail to give
them clearer views of the subject, and thus
prepare them for the right discharge of their
duties.

Political Parties.

The coalition, which for a time seemed
inevitable, between the old Line Democracy
OF the North and the Free Sellers, has been
signally defeated. The Old Hunkers, who
were Tor a time on the anxious seat, and APP
parently just at the point Of being converted,
have returned to their 'wallowing' in the
mire of Slavery, and a desperate effort is now
being made to rally the party once more on
the Baltimore Platform, modified somewhat
by professions Of liberation toward those who
have too much conscience openly to abandon
the principles on which they acted in the late
campaign. The leaders now think that the
unpopularity Of Taylor's administration will
ensure them q victory on the old platform,
and il is in,imated that Gen. Cass will be
again brought forward in 1852. 1t is expect
ed that the " ilmot Proviso will be super
seeded as a party issue by the action of the
people of California; and, that question out
of the way, II is thought there will be no
obstacle to the renewal of the old alliance be-
tween the Slave Power and the Democracy,
by which the Wings will be defeated. The
Wings also are playing fast and l%oose,' in
tending to be just anti-slavery enough at the
North to keep the body of the party from
forsaking them, and pro-slavery enough at
the South 10 satisfy their allies in that quar-
ter. There is no Disgusting the fact that the
Slave Power rules both the great parties, and
it is equally clear that the Free Sellers, with
the milestone of the Constitution fastenened
to their necks, are not in a position to offer
any e~ffectual resistance 10 its Vaccinations.

II. Fl. GARNETr.-Speaking Of the antici.
pated visit of this gentleman to Great Di-
tain, R. D. Webb, in a letter to the Standard,
says:
AS Garrett is fercely opposed TO moral
%suasion, relies on phy steal force, and is a
staunch new organizationist, he will be a
hard bone for his English friends 10 pick.
| don't know how they will manage il. but |
think they will succeed at last. A Presby-
terian man of color, in full union with all the
churches, who is DESTROYS ''to give Bibles TO
the slaves" will be a perfect God-send, and
that "Brilish Abolitionism," which Rogers,
in his better days, saw through SO clearly,
will be delighted from one end Of the land to
the other. Garnett will please all the good
people,, for he is religious" and no nom
resistant, and has nothing to do with Boston.
Still, | am unable - understand how he and
the London Peace Society can get on quite
comfortably together. As he is the more
pugnacions Of the two, it is most probable be
will have it all his own way in the end, and
will create a gteat sensation.

BUYING THEIR FREEDom.-I is no. an IN.
common thing in Washington for slaves to
purchase their freedom, or as they express it,
'buy themselves" Some of them obtain EN-
ployment ir the different Departments, and,
being literally paid, lay up enough capital
10 purchase tools. e. their hands-and
commence business In the world on their
own hook. Their owners generally make no
objection 10 this, and are often glad Of it. A
Tree negro in one of the Departments, where
he acts as messenger, lately paid $500 to-
ward the purchase of his brother, belonging
to an estate which would be closed no by
the LIST of Oct. The price asked was $500.
He had planked the 5000 gentleman Of
responsibility was ready to lend 5000 more,
and it only required 500 before the ist OF
October to complete the bargain. A paper
was circulated, and during the first day S4O

glad must be that heart when its pulsations

FRIEND JOHNSON l had the pleasure of
listening to one of the most powerful appeals
in behalf Of the bleeding slave last evening
that ever heard. You can readily believe
me, when tell you that he was a painting
fugitive. for none but those that have felt the
wrongs and the outrages of the slave can tell
the tale as it should be told. You can then
imagine with what pleasure we listened to
the feeling appeals he made for his poor toll
worn mothers and sisters, who are in the in
fernal den of darkness and oppression. Ma
ny were there who would not, unde. any 9TH
er conceivable circumstances, come out, and
the greatest attention and feeling seemed
manifest. In fact he seemed to hold the au-
dience (Which was Iarge) at will for three or
four hours without so much as a whisper, ex-
cePt when he was portraying Old Zach
(Which none but a slave can dol a Deacon
of the Presbyterian Church, and a staunch
Wing, begged Of the Chairman the privilege
of retiring, as he fel, unwell! the fugitive
expects to be at the Young Peoples Conven-
ton. And here let me say 10 one and all,
Come-come! We will Try and feed you
all, and what our beds won't hold our hay

convenience for humanity's cause is not
worthy the name Of Abolilionist.

Practical Christian Conference.

At the close Of the Ohio Yearly Meeting
Of Friends, on the 3lst OF the 9Th month";
1919, a large body OF members, both men
and women, remained in the house, for the
purpose Of taking into consideration The pres
ent condition and aspect of the Society In re.
lation to tho various Humsnilsy Reforms Of
the age, and consulting together in respectt to
the measures best adapted TO promote tho
cause of pure aud indebted Religion. Will
LIAM GRIFFITH and SARAH CoATEs were ap.
pointed Clerks. After a free expression OF
sentiment, the meeting united in the conclu-
sion that it would be right to hold, during
the present Autumn, a Conference Of the
friends of Progress and Reform, for a full and
free discussion OF the whole subject Of Reli-
gious Organization, as connected with mans
improvement and elevation. The undersign-
ed were then appointed a Committee TO fix
the time and place for holding such a Con-
ference, and 10 issue the necessary Call for
the same. In fulilment of The purposes Of
our appointment, we now give notice that the
Conference will be held in Friends brick
meeting house, near New Garden, Columbi-
ana county, commencing on the 10Th Of the
i0Ih month, 1919, al 2 o'clock, p. NJ, and
continuing, if il shall be thought best, until
the close Of the First day following. The
friends Of Religious Freedom aud Progress,
who are interested in the movement, are ear
nestly and affeciionstely invited, without dis
tinc,ion Of sect or party, 10 attend.
