Gerrt Smith has issued circular to the abolition
party for thepurpose Of having them resrSanled aud
prepared for the coming campaign. He says there is
great many good men, that do not vote who would 20
with the abolition party II 1t was recognized In q
proper form He claims that the great political party
are not religious their code Of morals, II they
any is very loose that the civil government is ell
,hne--that the creed Of the sbotionst is laid
down in the bible and mnst be riqht--thst the whig
and democratic parties have driven the fugttves to
the wids and Of Canada the hunter does the
game to its lair He says that the object OF tho liberty
party is to establish righteous civil government, and
they prefer to be put In the hands of christians not
litcal demagogues He claims tina. evidence, that
civil governments all counterfeits That they viii
not let both the male and female for the civic affairs
of the government that the liberty party is unlike
the other great political parties of the country; that
they would not acknowledge the right OF the South
the negro babies! He says that the late election
proves the necessity Of the ganzstion of the II
berty party, and that they should have newsps
pers and that every should have spooners books
on the Unconstitutionalty of Slavery, and Deienc
TOR the Fugitive With thorough knowledge Of those
books they could beat Daniel Webster and Mclean,
in any argument the slavery question. He ssysthat
the free soil party has been the killing of the liberty
party that 1t was a humbug-thst the members Of
that party after the losve aud ahes and that
they have not more morality than the other political
parties. lie hopes that the liberty party will be, in
point OF numbers what It ought to be by the
next Presidential election; aud that all Of
those who went for Van Buren, will come back and
bring large additions to their troops This nomiua
Of attractive men by the wbig add democratic parties,
could at any time draw away the force of the liberty
party The liberty party indispensable, while the
great rational parties they call themselves pride
themselves on being pro.sayery parties. This the
liberty party would not do The contests between the
sewardites, nationals, bupkers aud barnburners
all for gain; and he regards the sewsrdites
faction Of the whig party. He says the sewsrdites
pride themselves their anti slavery doctrines but
theywoud form partnerships with sheep or horse
thieves but they will do with many other kinds Of
thieves Gays that he learns with great satisfaction
of the increase Of the liberty party in Indiana
ohie and Wisconsin but he thinks the chances bad In
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and In poor tariff New
England; but he will have hopes In New England when
he sees the Adamses Phillips Jacksons, j. q Palfreys
and P Hales come out the platform Of the liberty
party He recommends the assembling Of National
Abolition Convention at Buffalo next autumn, to
the nomination and will take the oice fslectsd
thinks some one should be nominated for the presi
dency the West He closes with the rsbuks
to the members OF the party that n aud went to
the soil party and asks for them divine blessing
for their errors and like COED shepherd will try and
recover them to his flock.
He quotes the Bible quite generally In his circular
and is very upon the menstealsrs rs he calls
the southerners, together with the churches.
