Our MoTTo.-We place, this week, under the
honored names Of Hale and Julian, at the head
of our columns, as our mottos and chief rule Of
action in supporting them, two, and in our est
nation, the two most important articles in that
noble exposition of principles, the Pittsburg
PlatIorm-the one expressing our adherence of
slavery, and the other our intended political
course, in reference to that dark and threatening
plague spot on the otherwise fair brow of the
goddess of American Liberty.

What the Old Parties Have
Done,

They have foresworn the freedom Of
speech and Of the press
Surrendered the vital psinciples Of Ter
ritorial Prohibition which has saved to our
country nearly all that remains to liberty
Withdrawn all opposition to the exten'
sion Of slavery, aud the increase Of Slave
States:
Converted the government Of Washing
ton and jefferson into a man-huntng police,
and citizens into contingent scoundrels or
martyrs:
They have yielded the flag of Paul Jones,
Decatur and Perry to protect forever the
waiting cargoes OF despair on the sea
They have contracted for perpetual slave
ry and slaye-trading arond the nations cap
ito ....... ....... .......
They have exalted the sum Of all viii
lanies" into nationaIl institution
They have bound themselves with the
oath of their own existence to serve as a
body guard to the slave powsr ito crush
| if they can the first emotion, and smiie the
mouth which uiters the first word against
its pretentionS be they t0tat they may;
They have agreed to resist aud hunt
down the very principles which in the north
constituted their oniy faith but jOar years
ago ...r..a. .. ........
And their only real element Of strife now
is the comparative alacrity" with which
these shameless obligations shall be dis
charged as the price Of office ut the hands OF
tyranny.
We hesitate not to affirm that neither of
the cid parties has respectable argument
before the peope Every etIortis poverty
and imbecllity fit only for the people to
laugh at TO encounter the Free Democ-
racy they canuot--dare not, aHd nothing Is

Resolutions Of the PlttsbUrg Convention.
18th. That Slavery is a sin against God and
a crime against man, which no law nor usage
can make right, and that Christianity Humanity,
and Patriotism, alike demand its abolition.
Goth. That the Free Democratic party is not
organized to aid either the Wing or Democratic
wings of the great Slavery Compromise party of
the nation, but to defeat them both and that
repudiating and denouncing them both as hope
lessly corrupt and utterly unworthy of conf
dence, the purpose Of the Free Democracy is to

administer it for the better protection of the
rights and interests of the whole country.

An Appeal to Christians.


The present political condition of our coun-
try is matter of deep and growing interest to
every Christian, and we are particularly called
upon, as Christian citizens, to consider the i'm
try. 1t is fact which no candid man deny,
that our nation has sadly degenerated since our
Fathers proclaimed to the world the great doc
trine of the equal and inalienable rights of man.
1t is fact which all Christians deeply deplore,
that, Notwithstanding our nations Unparalleled
physical and political growth. it has been NOR
ally retrograding, This is an unpleasant truth,
and some may be disposed to question it; but
when we consider the tendency Of our govern
ment to oppression, its disregard for the moral
and political rights of the governed and COM

erty which characterized its carly days, we are
driven to this conclusion.
The world has looked upon the practical work.

The last Brandon Post, which is very spirit

on the result Of the election, with the following
well timed remarks in reference to the duty
which now devoIves on the Free Democracy Of
this State:
Measures must be immediately taken to 81 9
the people light. The papers on the other side
studousiy conceal the real issues from their
readers. Let there be meetings for discussion
held between now and tue November election in
every town IN the State. There should also be
mass meetings in every County, with efficient
speakers provided for them. In addition to this,
let there be wide circulation of documents,
discussing the great questions now in agitation,
and involved IN the support Of the opposing
platforms, among the voters. Two dollars will
buy two hundred Of these documents. -Four
hundred dollars will buy enough and more than
enough to put one in the hands of every voter
who belongs to both the pro slavery parties Of
the State, With 4 very lutte eSertIon ia each
town. twice that amount might be raised III one
day. Such an expenditure would be likely to
give the State to Hale and Julian. Who among
the friends Of freedom will not labor for that re-
suit What one among those who voted for
BralnerGd for Governor at the last election can
not, if he tries, secure one additional vote for
