Our a Ticket.

OF Mr.. Peck, our candidate for Cover
nor, We need say but liule. He was the
nominee last year, and in spiteof detection
among the " cleans and pures," received 4
handsome vote. His reputation as a law
yer and a citizen 1, high, and believing
that he is with us On the great question O
Freedom and Democracy, We shall give
him a hearty support.
Gen. Ryland Fletcher, the candidate for
Lieut.. Governor, is a practical farmer, who
has long been prominent in the politics OF
Windsor County, formerly as a Wing, but
since lo4l, as aIiberty man and a Free
Democrat OF bis ability he has given
many a conclusive proof, not the least OF
which was a very sensible and patriotic
letter which we published last winter, adj
dressed by him to Mr.. Giddings, in relation
to the state OF political affairs. Gen. Fetch
er is a man of extensive reading, a ready
and effective speaker, and is second to no
man in his detestation of slavery and all
its devices. We think it would be credit
able to the farmers of Vermont, to take
pride in elevatlng so deserving and able a
member of their fraternity, to the chair of
the Senate, and we hope they will do it.
OF our friend Thompson, who is the
candidate for Treasurer, we can only say
that no one will be happier than our hum
BILE self in aiding to place him in the Treas
ury Department, not merely on the score of
old personal regard, but because for the
credit of the party and the profession, we
should like to see n of the working oxen
put into a stall.
Now, Free and faithful Democrats oil

ats fine, allowing the Russian to be 90. The
Windsor Journal, one of the Webster organs
seems, and with good reason, too, we think
much encouraged at the prospect. The las
number, after g%lancing around approyingly
among the " cavers in" says:
"The few papers alluded to in this State are
evidently improving, and there IS reasonable
hope that they will soon be found working in
entire harmony with the great body of the Wing
press in Vermont"
The great body of the Wing press in Yer

often stated, i'll favor of Webster and the com.
promise.

Only look at them, both wings, what have
they got2 Nothing, absolutely nothing
but slave grabbing to rally around. There
they stand, in adjoining lots, making signs
at each other, and looking %vengeiully at us.
Was there ever a time when honor, duty,
right, demanded a harder battle at your

On their flag is the pirates signal--the

things paramount, and is not trammelled by the
support of pro.slavery administration. Let the
first named portion of Wings go, then, to the
old line Democrats, where, under the specious
name of Unionists, they can help build up the
slave power, and the strong, central government
necessary to sustain it; and let the latter JON
the party of Freedom, where they will be cordl-
ally welcomed, and where, under the bright
banners of Liberty and Right, they can aid, I'M
restricted, in carrying out, as they would wish,
the principles which our immortal Declaration OF
independence has implanted in their bosoms.-
And we would especially call on this portion Of
the Wings to weigh well what we have said,
loco back to the former position of their party,
then at the one they now occupy, and see it we
are not correct; and if they find us SO, let them
leave their shattered and discordant organization
for one that aims to make Freedom and Union,
instead of Union and Slavery, inseparable and
synonymous.
And what we contend ought to be, in regard
to a coalition of the two old parties, we believe
soon will be. We believe-and every sign
which we can see pre6gured in the political
heavens bnt confirms our belief-that these par
ties, already one in object and sympathy will
speedily ~coalesce and be also one in name and
action; some portions Of each, not voluntary par
ties to the movement, acquiescing through force
of party machinery, and SOM because they will
be made to believe it to be the only way Of
keeping the Union together.
But while this will be done there will be thou
sands in both whose minds will be too clear tt
be pervet%-l, and whose love of liberty will be
too deepIs9footed to. be thus led astray, and they
will natlrally gather themselves to the healthy
unshacEled and vigorous young party of Free
dom, which will thus be constantly swelling
by the reliable accessions, till the united hos
shall take field in earnest against the army o
oppression. Then will the battle be, for the
first time, clearly set between Liberty and Slave
ry-Right and Night. The conflict will bc
fierce and desperate; for the issue will be SECOND
only, in Importance, to that of the Revolution o
'76. Which will prevail? God only knows
This is an age of political degeneracy and cor.
ruption, and we may well tremble for the result
Our own covlctions, however, have ever been
on this point, of a hopeful character. We have
full confidence in Heavens justice, and tina

posing of Woodbury., if his friends sec fit to
press his nomination. However, that is their

THE NEW YORK EVENING Posr.-This able
and valuable journal, published both daily and
weekly, in the city of New York, and owned
and edited, in part, by the poet Bryant, we
esteem one OF the very best newspapers in
the United States. BY its temperate, digniied
and firm stand, it has done more for the cause of
Freedom, probably, than any, if not all, the pa
pers published in the Middle States. Many of
the Free Democracy of Vermont take the New
York City papers = why not turn their attention
to this? They would fnd it not only an able
advocate of their principles, but every way a
very superior newspaper.
