A WORD TO LIBERAL WHIas.-We have
ever believed that large portion of the rank and
file OF your patty were truly sincere in their for
mer professions of love for the cause of freedom
and, but for interested leaders, would cheerfuly
have shown it in their support Of men who make
opposition to the aggressiohs Of slavery the par
amount duty of their political action. But we
have known, at the same time, how difficult it is
for men to break from their party without the
lmputation OF venal motives or vaclllaing weak
ness, which few are willing to incur. Now
however, the case rs far different: not only are
the old Issues Of the Wing party confessedy
dead, so that no more can be done fOi them, but
your State Organ, which has always controlled
in the whig politics OF the State, has openly re-
commended the disbanding OF your organza-
ton. THIS opens the way to you for an honora-
BILE withdrawal from your party, and as honoIa
Bile a connection with the only party in which
your free soil principles can be carried out effec
tualy. In behalf OF the organized friends of
Freedom, therefore, we invite and urge you to
take your stand with Us on the first Tuesday of
September, In support of the State ticket Of the
Free Democracy, with LAWRENCE BaAlNERD at
its head, aud 60 with as IN building up the only
party which affords any promise of putting down
the political co7ruptlons of the times, of staying
the alarming aggressions Of the Slave Power,
and restoring the republican standard of Jeffer.
son and Madison.

parties nov IN the field is, in that cause, the most
reliable and steadfast.
Secret, but strong and systematic attempts,
we are fully convinced, are, in many sections, to
be made, under the guse of the Liquor question,
or other temporary or local issues, to draw US
into the support of nominees for the Legislature
who will belray Us on the Senatorial election.
Friends of Freedom be ye not deceived by any

THE WING PARTY DrsBANpEp IN WAsHtNe-
TON CoUNTY.-We Intended have announced
last week, that The Wing party, for Washington
County, at least, has been formally disbanded
by the Vermont Waichmqn the State organ OF
the party, with the declared object of counter
acting the doings of the late Anti Liquor
Law Convention held 10 this place, and OF giving
more cficien, support to tie Liquor Law in the
coming election. The Wotckmans present zeal
for the Liquor Law is certainly conmeudable
But as the editor Of that paper, last winter, when
the people, without reference to parties, were
about to be called on to vote on the subject
published more aud ADLER articles against the
law than for it, ard as he declared, editorially,
TO his readers, the week before the day OF voting
that "the taW cuts dangerously close to The Con-
sttullon,' and should never haze been passed /; '
and, again, as that editor, who Is an udrolt Wing
politician, well knows that his party in this
County has nothing 10 hope tor, except by draw
ing the other parties from their legitimate issues,
aud thus forming new combinations, he must
excuse us for deemlng his conversion rather
sudden. And in view; of all the circumstances,
we trust he will MT think it unreasonable that
we propose to hun a small but very feasible test
OF his sincerity and that is that he now come
out aud ad lse his party to drop the Fairbanks
State Ticket, aud 60 for that of Mr.. Brainerd
since everybody knows that Mr.. Brainerd is as
firm as rock on the temperance question while
Mr. Fairbanks, by declining to recommend any
law at all in mis- message las, fall, when the
whole State was swarmIng with petitions for the
purpose, and. further, by appointing, last winter,
to the vacant office OF United States Senator,
man notorious tor lntemperance, has proved him.
self to be, on that question, at least Unreliable.
FhIs the Hatchman can easily comply Whit
will only be carrying out his consistency, and,
at the same time, sufficiently show that the sue
cess of the Liquor Law is alone at the bottom of
the unexpected movement.
