The friends of freedom are now more active
and determined than at any other period in
the history of the Ant-Slavery movement in
this county The nominations at Pittsburgh
and the principles promulgated there are right

true lover of liberty and republicanism, and
such as will receive the unanimous support OF
the Free Democracy of Michigan. J. l..

think | shall get more subscribers after we
get the Free Soil platform think it would
have an excellent effect to have it published
every week by the side of the twin platforms
of Baltimore There are none of the papers here
at the North, either Wing or Democrat, that
publish their platforms, or say anything about
them They keep up brisk fire at the candi-
| dates to attract the attention of the people.
There are thousands of voters here at the
| North who have not seen either of the Balt-
more platforms | presume they have been
shown to fifty persons here within two weeks,
as published in the Era, who declare they
have never seen either of them before, and the
most of them declare they will never support
either. Go on brother; the cause of liberty
must triumph. J. H. ROGERS.

The principles and spirit of Free Democ-
racy arc rapidly advancing New converts
from the old corrupt political organizations
daily. The tmid are speaking out in opposi-
ton to the Fugitive Slave Law and declare
uncompromising opposition to it, and to all
| candidates who endorse it, or who suffer their
names TO be used in connection with any plat
form endorsing it, or anything Of a kindred
nature. This part Of the State of New York
will give for John p Hale and Anti-Slavery
sentiment and principle a much larger vote
than it gave for Free Soil four years since
Our little village will. to-day, to draw the line,
give majority for Hale over both the other
candidates. We mean to do our duty Let
the Union take hold, as we do here, and that
worst Law that ever disgraced nations stat
ute-boOk will soon be blotted from its pages
and be covered by the righteous anathemas of
millions Of freemen. God speed the right,

Sapoy Mass, hug. 27.-The Independent
Democrats are in high spirits here This is a
town where iour-ffths, at least, of our voters
have been Democrats. e., old line Democrats: ;
but we are Democrats too thoroughly indoctri-
mated in the great principles Of real Democracy
to vote for men standing upon and taking
home to their bosoms platform containing
such abominable doctrines as that lately put
forth at Baltimore by set Of men calling
themselves Democrats. .nt4u 4. ~
