The Liberty Party-Gerrit Smiths Address.
UrIcA, Saturday, Oct. IS, 1851.
Gerrlt Smith has issued an address 10 the
Liberty party and others, IN which ne expresses
his firm conviction that that party is destined to
overthrow Slavery IN the United States. He be-
beves the recent demonstration of Liberty in
Syracuse viii help the party, and that with
r,oper effort II will result in good.
III rboD no
tion OF Slavery In the United States, but, alas
,hings look dark A discrepancy here-the
fault, perhaps, OF the wires The country Is
divided into two great parties, and ninety out oi
every hundred voters are under the control OF the
wre-pullers Of SAID parties, aud few are prepared
to act independently, although at Syracuse they
did help the man Jerry 10 escape. But at the
elections they will vote for murderers.
The retaining a fugitive from Slavery Is SAID
not to be crlminal-it is only the masters at
tempt to recover his prOperty-but It Is called
treason to resist the same with only the bare
hands Of his friends Is this Just, or lawful
We are told the law is Constitutional, and must
he enforced but contend that 1t is not, and |
will not support it. Mr.. Webster admits that
the General Government has nothing 10 do with
this provjsion. What United States Judge,
,hen.would say that the United States Govern
1nent was justified in chasing down those whites
that helped the slave Jerry to escape at SYRIA
cuse say that any one that will capture and
,end human being INTO slavery, should be tired
as kidnapper of the blackest dye, and also as
murderer
Such an attempt is now making by Mlllafd
Fillmore. who has instructed his officers to arrest
at all hazards, the so styled lugitives from JUS
tee am glad to see the blacks resist the law.
| will not say by what means they should do So
but If officers undertake 20 deprive them of their
liberty, they must be protected, event. they have
to take life In doing this, they Will be respect
ed by the whites and find friends.
Many Hungarian exiles are arriving IN this
country. Webster and Cass are loud IN their
tOasts and culogieS of them, aud al the same time
they are keeping 1900, 600 of human beings IN
bondage. When poor Jerry SAID to me, 81 will
not 90 back had sooner dle :" did not know
what he intended to do But IN what he did do,
he is lusti6able When Kossuth arrives IN this
county, let him show himself a man by declar
ing against Slavery in this country, as well as IN
Austria
He concluded 10y calling on one and alto rally
around the polls, IN support OF freedom ana
liberty
