We repubsh below several resolutions adopted
| by the Liberty Party Convention, which convened
at Syracuse, New York, on the 4th instant, in
order that readers may see TO what extent GER
tain exciting measures are carried by designing
demagogues and fanatics. II is impossible to dis
cover any difference between the spirit Of these
resolutions and the actual tendency Of the so-caled
True Democrats, Free Sellers, and all others Of
like stripe Their object is agitation and desola-
ton. In fact, we are assured by the Hon. Geo.
w. Julian--the head and front Of Abolitionism in
Indiana-that "Ae anii-slapery agitation has only
fairly began" Allowing it, then, to be correct,
that this ''agitaton has just "hirly commenced,
what may we reasonably expect before the expi-
ration of another year, Every exertion will be
made to keep alive their party organization, and
in order to do 1t they must war against slavery in
the States, and ultimately seek the downfall Of
this government, thing they dare not now openly
avow. sfr
The leaders of the Free Soil party dare not
come out and contend for the success Of the prin-
ciples Of that party-we repeat, they dare not do
it-but seek to be united with either of the other
parties, for no other purpose than mere chance
OF being elevated TO Office. We have an iIustra-
ton of this fact in our county BY the duplicity
of Elder and Vale they secured the confidence OF
a portion of their parties, and made an arrange
ment to divide the fat Offices among themselves,
and allow smaller ones to come IN and gather up
the crumbs that fall from their board--then turn
round and ask honest and conscientious men who
have acted in their ranks for time to support
them in their new and ill-becoming alliances.
! Such actions are, however, confined to particu-
lar localities. In New York, fanatics of the same
kind openly avow the principles they entertain,
and ask the whole world TO Join them in their
work of disorganzation.
| Will the voters of old "Wayne " contribute
their influence to keep alive this band of fanatics
| this band of disorganizers' who are united with
Southern disunionists in Congress to prevent e-
gisation that would settle existing difficulties be-
| tween the North and South We tell our friends
to beware OF such party alliances Their mission
is to cheat, lie and deceive. igF nat
| But here are the resolutions-read them--show
them to your neighbors, and ask them if they are
willing to endorse such sentiments. IL they are
not, let them not vote for Elder, Vale & Co., for
as sure as they vote the amalgation ticket they
endorse the sentiments contained in the resolu.

"Resolped, That passing events do but deepen
our conviction that certain religion is the great

'Resolped, That every slavehoding government
is but a piracy, and that hence if pirates invade
Cuba, South Carolina, Brazil or Georgia, there is
no more reason why Abolitionists and believers in
civil government should sympathize with the in
vaded than with the invading pirates.

their souls and confirm their anti-slavery iptegrit

Resoired, That if the American COLONIZATION
Society must take to Liberia any portion of on
free colored people, we should greatly prefer tina
it be that portion of them guilty of the treacher
and baseness of belonging to the pro-savery &c
clesiastical and pro-slavery political parties.
