A GOOD TAKE OFF.

After reading so many of the absurd state
ments, and strange Misrepresentation, respect
ing the late Free Soil and union Convention,
with which the Wing presses in this State have
ever since been teeming, we were on the
point of getting up some kind of travesty on
their ridiculous TRADES as the best way Of ans
wering them; when we were saved the trouble
by the St. Adams Messenger, whose Editor
having evidently become ashamed of the course
Of his Wing brethren of the press, took it upon
himself, in his last paper, it seems, to admins
ter to them rebuke, which he has OPPORTUNITY
done in the following admirable burlcsque OIL
their descriptions of the doings OF that body -
cat the late Convention at Montpelier, the
door of the house being closed, the editor OF the
freeman informed the brethren, that he kncD
from correct information, that Gen. Taylor was
canibal, and was accustomed to devour an aD-
oltionist daily; and that the 2. M. General,
having become prO-slavery man, had caused
all the bibles to be burnt within thirty miles
north of Mason g. Dixon's line, and that none
were to be brought within that territory by any
one, except under the penalty Of receiving forty
lashes on the bare back.
After this announcement, resolutions were
brought before the convention against canbaI
ism and in favor of the spread of the Bible.
There, Mr.. Free Press, Waterman, Eagle
&c, why is not that as true and probable as on'
: half you have suId yourselves about the Con
vention? 1t strikes US you had better take carr
of your brother Messenger, before he makes yol
appear any more ridiculous.

The Mobile Advertiser, one of the most zeal
GUS Taylor papers in the country, plainly ayows
that Gen. Taylor's "no party" pledges were
.falsehOods, intended to cheat the people Here
are the Advertisers words:
We are we'll aware that the no party papers
INDUCED in good deal of .fttmmlery about indie
pendence of party; tina: Gen. Taylor would
make no distinction between wings and demo
Gratis in appointments to Office, &c, but we, ant
the wing party generally, know it was alleLection
ecring cant, entirely destitute Of truth, and d@e
putable to those tohO INDUCED Il.
Yes, we are aware that the no party, no prn
ciple, slave supporting, Taylor papers indulgec
in good deal Of .fummery and not only fun
merry but taIsehOod, and as the Advertiser afirms
the whig party generally knew it was all elec-
pioneering cant-destitute Of truh-and the SAM
ftmmery and fatsshoOd is now going on in thu
State of Vermont by the Taylorites, to deceiy
the people in the coming election. Gen. Taylo
was elected by the .t1IsehOod and fummery tina
he was WImot PrsvisO-nO party-nO partisan
peoples candidate. And if sustained at all, will
be sustained by the same sacrifice oftruth. Ev
ldences occur every week which stamps tn
pledges made by Gen. Taylor and his friends a.
tissue of falsehoods and deception. Freemel
of Vermont, beware of the statements made b,
the Taylor papers, for they are convicted q
falsehood by their own party.

Whose is the Credit !

The Taylor wings in Alabama lately con
cocted plan to unite with sundry Taylor
Democrats upon James E. Belser Taylor
Democrat, thoroughly opposed to whggery
and identified with the doctrines of the Dem.
ocratic party. This coalition was freely CT
ted to prove how different thing a c0ali-
ton NTH Taylorism was from a coalition a.
gaiast ii, in the eyes of its immaculate
soothsayers. 1t now turns up that all that
was wanting TO perfect the coalition of
Slave Taylorism and Slave Democracy, was
the consent Of Dir. BelSer, he preferring to
60 to Congress where he holds a seat, and
hereupon the Taylor presses set up a pee.
feet shout of exutaton, as if we had char
ged them with something they never meant
to commit All that prevented them from
committing the murder was that the axe few
off the handle, and yet they will scarcely
lei US escape alive for barely nsinuating
that they meant any harm The coalition
in Vermont and the attempted coalition in
Alabama are plainly distinguishable in this,
that the one was for the safety of slavery,
and the other Tor the security of Freedom

These men have not changed their position, &C
cording to the declaration expressed in the reso-

vention. They there resolved that the wing
party stand where they ever have been and ever
mean to be- And where do the wing party
stand? They now stand allied to tho slave
power of the South, bound hand and foot to the
loathsome, sinking carcase Of slavery in the per-
son of Gen. Taylor, with its black and bloody
collar about their necks, They have abandoned
virtually all their professions of opposition to
slavery, and elected sLdve-brecding- stakeholder
for President, with his two hundred and eighty
human CHATTELs in degradation and bonds, and
are now like the Waterman, calling on the PEG
pie to rally and sustain an administration, and a
President created for the avowed purpose o.
watching with his "sdgle eye" the interests Of
Shareholders and of securing an introduction o.
slavery into territory now free. The southern
whig papers maintain in view of the stand taker
by the Free Democracy in the free States, an(

is no safety for the institution of slavery-nc

Executive. The waves of abolition, (say they,

slavery, stands at the helm of State by the whig

lor, a fit representative of the blacklist system Of
oppression that can be found on the face of the
Globe, sustained as it is by nation claiming tc
be christianized and enlightened, was placed ia
that position by the wings, who now taunt Us be-
cause we do not acknowledge them as anti
slavery men Are these "the works meet for
repentance? The Waterman asks, "Is the
Freeman really opposed to sIaUery?" Yes, really
opposed to slavery in ALI forms-oppoSed to
slaveholding Presidents-opposed to slavehoId'
ers, as such opposed to those who uphold and
sustain slavery, for so doing.

COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Free Democracy of Chittendon County
are invited to meet in County Convention at
Williston, on the eleventh of July next, at 10
O'Clock, A. NJ, to nominate candidates for Coun.
ty Senators, and to respond to the State nomin-
atoms of the Free Democracy.
All who believe that the identification of the
wing party with Slaveholding President, has
deprived it of all claim upon the confidence of
Anti Slavery men, all who desire to secure the
triumph OF true Democracy by rescuing the
State from the rule of those who have BETRAYED
1t into the hands Of slavery, ard who consider
the Jeffesonian ordinance of 1857 worthy of the
support of Democrats, are cordially invited to
attend.
Let US have great and glorious rally. Our
enemies ut one time taunt us with forming q
mere coalition, and at another represent us as
sundered by discord and discomfort Let us 90
up to the place of meeting, and there convince
them BY the harmony and wisdom Of our pro-
ceedngs, that We are parties to no union that is
not founded upon mmutable principle. Let us
there take measures so to concentrate our
strength as to leave no vestage to tell that Tay-
lorlsm ever had a foothold in old Chttenden.

GEORGE LIPPARD, Esq. of Philadelphia, known
in the late Presidential Campaign as an ardent
Taylor Democrat" and who did as effective
service on the stump in aid of the Taylor cause
as any other man in Pennsylvania, has recently
addressed to General Taylor scorching letter,
(made public through the columns of the Union)
in which he boldly charges him with duplicity of
conduct and a shameless violation of his solemn
and of-repeated pledges to the country. 1t will
be remembered that this Mr.. Lippard is the same
gentleman to whom was addressed the famous let
ter of General Taylor, pledgng himself, " not to
be party candidate, and that if elected he would
not be the PresidentO of party, but the President
of the whole people," designated at the time as
the " Lippard letter"

The Glorious 4th.

We observe that arrangements are being made
for the celebration of our nations birth day in
different sections. But we opine there will be
the most patriotism-love of cOuntry-and Free
dom, and especially Free Sou, expressed in our
Capital, by the Universal Free Soil Taylor Wing
Republican party, than at any other place. Their
resolutions will express in positive terms their
unbounded adherence of American slavery-and
the fullest confidence which they have in a radi-
cal American Shareholder That "they (the
whgs) are where they ever have BEEN" opposed
to slavery, "and where they ever mean TO be-"
supporting shareholders. That they are opposed
to coalitions" and ready to make them at any
time when their own interests can be subserved.
That the Free soil party have been SWALLOWED
by the Loco foeoS," and that the Democrats have
abandoned their principles" and to cap the
climax, we should not wonder if they nomna-
ted a ticket called the TAYLOR AND FREE Soil
TICKET.

Let the People read it !!

The Rutland Herald holds the following com
plimentary language as to the moral and social
character of our candidates for State officers:
OF the personal or private character of Hora.
ito Needham or of Daniel Roberts, Jr., we have
nothing to say with the latter gentleman we
have been OH terms of intimacy from early boy
hood. THEY are both honorable men, and but for
their alliance with, and long continued adhesion
to party ever opposed to the principles which
they now profess to regard as SO important, we
should think they had almost as strong claim 10
the sufrages of the real free sellers of Vermont
as have had Carlos Coolidge, Robert Pierpont
and the several Governors and Lieut. Governors
of the State for the past six years.
This testimony, coming as it does, from our
opponent, is worthy the consideration of every
Freeman in Vermont But for the false insihu-
alton connected with it, we should have beer
leu TO the conclusion that the edltoroF the Her
aid, who published tho article, would vote the
Free Democratic ticket himself. Be this as i
may, we avail ourselves of the fair and only jus
inference which can be drawn from it and tina
is, that our ticket for State officers will not suf
fer IN comparison with the whig tickets for thu
last six years." and that it is entitled to thu
generous support of every man who admits tn
principles adopted at our State Convention to b.
correct.
The admission of the Herald is an honorable
one with the exception we have made, and such
an one as every man, who is acquainted witt
the characters of those men, will be compelle
to make, if he is governed by the truth On tn
other hand, those contemplate slurs, from certai
quarters, upon the person and qualifications c
HORATIO NEEDHAM, as an unsuitable person t
hold the executive Office in Vermont, is in pei
feet keeping with the conduct of men who or
destitute of any principle, either political c
moral. That Mr.. Needham or Roberts have
been allied WITH" or given their adhesion to
party who were opposed to the principles whc
they now profess to regard as important" is
gross mistake. We think they have not onl
"dlmosL," but stronger claim upon the I" real fl
sOilers" than any whig ticket which has, or ca
be nominated, tramellcd with Tayorism.

"The Free Soil party in Vermont was organ
lied upon the Buffalo Platform, which is anti
slavery in every sense.
The Democratic party have adopted that plat
form as their political creed, and, by union up
