of progress ia the South. For the last ten years,
all there mas appeared as dark aad hopeless as

addition TO the suspicious omen, last fall for the
first time seen since the political organization Of
the anti slavery party, in the appearance of the
banner Of the Free Democracy inscribed 10 Hale

States, a new tone, and an obvious yielding of
the shameless position almost universally taken
of late years by the Southern press. have this
year been manifested in several of their most
influential papers. Among the most prominent
Of these is the Louisville Journal, which is now
publishing series of able and searching arti-
cles on the subject Of Slavery and urging its
speedy alb, liiion in Keu'ucky, to become an
example and starting point for the general eman
cipation OF the South. That paper now makes
the bold and noble declaration, the boldest and
noblest, perhaps, coming from so influential a
source, since the DAYS of Jefferson and madison.

Freemen, Remember!

REMEMBER, as among the first articles of our
creed and the CREED OF OUR POLIricAL IA
TIERS, Thar SLAVERY IS A SIN AGAINST COP
and crime against man, which 10 human enact
ment Can make right.
THAT SLAVERY IS SECTIONAL, FREEDOM
NATIONAL. and that the powers OF our Govern
ment should always be exerted IN favor OF Free
dom, and against Slavery. ---.-...-..-.-
THAT THE RIGHT OF FACE Dascu ssioN, and
its unrestricted exercise, is not only the best
safeguard of our free institutions, but the deares,
and most sacred right OF all our chartered lber-
tes-and
That it is alike the duty and purpose of the
FREE DEMOCRACY to support at the polls No
PARTIES or MEN that will contrayene these great
and essential principles of Libe ty.
And remember at the same time, that the Fu.
gitve Slave Law, demanding every freeman Of
our mountains to become Slave catcher, still
disgrsces our National Statute Book.
Remember, that both the old parties, last year
at Baltimore, united ia Il platform coniravening
ALL those principles. and selling themselves
over to the SLAVE Power.

cencies VINO you shi support for Oil - on the

Mr. EDIToa The friends of impartial liber.
ty and human freedom, in this part of Orange
County have, for the past week, been enjoying
rich intellectual repast while listening to the
soft and melodlous and soul string eloquence of
Mss Lucy Stone, who has "thoughts tina, breathe
and words that burn" 1t is impossible to give
an adequate idea of the high and lofty thoughts
that flow with such grace and beauty, like a
continuous stream. from the heart and lips of the
gifted speaker. Miss Stone, thus far, has fully
sustained her high reputation as an eloquent
speaker and advocate Of human rights. Her
audiences have been very large, and she has
been treated by all classes, and parties and sects
with great respect. There are none who do not
feel more respect for themselves and more SYM
paihy for weak and defenceless slaves, after list
ening To such facts and such melting tales of
suffering and wo. Such has been The intense
interest to hear, that no meeting house has been
sufficient to bold the people. Startling and up
paliog facts have been brought out in relation
to The lneanness. wickedness and treachery of
northern pro slavery politicians and heir allies.
This part the westerly of the County has been
thoroughly aroused, and it is evident that strong
conviction of the exceeding snfnlness of slavery
and tho wckedness of Shareholders has sunk
deep into the heart, and consciences of men
brave men and noble women The slumnering
and latent energies of the soul have been oroused.

Slavery, and the Call for Political
Action thereon

What was the origin of Slavery? War and

is il manaiued? By the most unutigated
despotlsn known in the world, and by the fnulest
robbery ever committed by matr--Ihat OF deprI
wing the tolIlng laborer Of the fruits of his earn
ings. Can any more or better arguments be
brought to justly or excuse 1t, than can be
brought to justly horse theft, highway robbery,
or piracy? None! Who can wonder, then,
that The men of the North when they see the
South so unblashingy aiming to extend such an
institution. and make everything good and sacred
in the whole land subservIent to lts support and
supremacy-who can wonder that men who
possess the common instincts Of right and hu
manly, and who have the spirit of snen and
trcemei,, should torn political associations to
oppose 1t?
Slavery Is beyond all question the most wick
ed and deeslubIe institution now tolerated BY
any government on the face of the broad earth
Slavery IN America Is doubly damning, as 1t
nnkes us not only nation of robbers, but, with
our tree Institutions, nation oil hypoerites =
And as it has been nude National concern by
the iecent legislation OF Congress, there IS now
no subjoctwhich can more egll'mately be made
political issue by the whole American people,
and none certainly which more loudly demands
their political action.
Now who Is there, claiming to be either

country Is Slavery or Lberty-who Is there that
