Change of Administrations.

We have heard hundreds, If not thousands,
Of the most discreet and judicious men OF the
country, without distinction Of party, give it as
their settled CONVICTION that the best interest OF
the country required occasional changes in the
administration OF the national and state govern
ments, and that no party, on account OF the nat
ural tendencies Of all men in power to grow
corrupt or lax in their public duties, should be
allowed TO continue in the ascendency for any
great number Of years. Now, is there case
in the whole Union, at this time, where this
most Just and wise doctrine applies with greater
force than to the Wing party in Vermont, who
have been in the ascendency from almost time
immemorial, having had everything their own
way, and managed the finances and all other
great interest Of the state to suit themselves
and their party leaders? Have they not been
in power long enough? and is it not now time
that there was change, on the above named
principle aoneP II so, where will the freemen
of this state find for their suppoIt next Tues
day. a purer, more able and incorruptIble man
than Lawrence Brainerd. of st. Adams? No
where, Rally then, We honest, untramneled free.
men, who regard the public welfare more than
you do the behests of party leaders and Office
holders, rally this year for the state ticket of the
Free Democracy, and help on the already bright
prospect of electlng it by the people.

Votes and Voters.

Free Democrats of Vermont, you have cause
worth fighting tor, but are you prepared Tor Inc

mit,ees, on whom you can rely for good SERVICE

kind of votes Have they made ample provls-
ions for getting every free democrat and all
who can be induced to support our ticket to the
polls? II they have, let them work on to the
last hour see their neighoors and furnish doc
uments, watch and defeat the tricks and traps
of their opponents, and do everything that can
be done tor the good cause. But IT these things
have not been done, let not another day pass
over nll they ore accomplished. All may yet
be done before election.

The Position of the Free Democ.
raoy well Defined.

The Syracuse Chronicle, one of the most able
and manly of Free Democratic presses that reach
us from the West, thus truly defines the position
of the Free Democracy, and Justly asserts their
claims to be considered national and not
sectional party.
The platform of the Independent Democracy
is as broad as the United States OF America.
and as comprehensive as the needs and claims
ct Humanity. Neither is it cons ructed, as
some suppose, by borrowing the principles of
other parties to exc out some ineagre doctrines
ct It's own. We unhesllaingly cain that it
Is the only homogeneous, consistent political
creed now before the country in every one
OF lis articles, The great fundamental principle
OF democracy is present. 1t is in some respects
denlic | with those of Whggery and the Old
Lane Democracy. as these also are with each
other, because all parties in this country now
claim TO be democratlc, but we defy any other
party Than our own to make good its title to thu
distinction without splitting on The regularly
adopted articles of its Faith
The Independent Democracy is also the onty
NATIONAL party 10 the country. A nationl par

Nosthern, scruple or misgvng with regard to
the republican orthodoxy Of property in man is
treated with the most offensive contempt: and
finally lay their own manhood at the feet of an
arlsocracy as naughty as the sun ever shone
upon, by submitting. soemnly IN general coun-
Gil, to declare perniclous, and promise to sup
press, what they know in their hearts to be Gods
truth, and the very essential life of liberty. In
dependent Democracy plants itself on that TRUTH
as the majority of the trainers of the Consltu
ton stbe supposed to have done. holding it,
at ens IN all sincerity, TO be consistent with
guarantee to the States where Slavery existed
OF undlslurbed possession, so far as the exercise
of Federal power was concerned. Our friends
not only adopt this guarantee, they insist upon
ii. They will contend for it, they will not even
have the abolition of slavery at The expense of
it. Now why is not this National party (? Eve
~ Southern man-every STAKEHOLDER to be con
sstent with his State Rights professions ought
to stand up IN our platform. But il, on the con-
lrary, he has discovered, in these latter days,
that the good old-ashioned Jeffersonian Democ
racy, instead of being the prop of Slavery, is its
surest, speedlest dcstroyer-and chooses rather
to become Federalist. as be has always been

What is Federalism 2

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see that the Vermont Patriot
calls Lawrence Brainerd Fcderalist. Now,
sir. am an old man OF Orleans County, the only
man who voted foi Andrew Jackson in my town,
and the uniform supporter Of every Democratic
administration, till the present one came into
power The first national party in the country
were the supporters of old John Adams, and
called themselves Federalists During Adams
first term, party arose calling themselves Dem
ocrats They prevailed, and elected Thomas
Jefferson, President, for the reason that the
Federal party went for the Alien and Ssdtion
Law, against free discussion, and for strong
government, similar I, that of Great Btitain--
going on the ground that the common people
lacked the virtue and intelligence requisite for
the maintenance of free and liberal govern
ment. The Democrats believed to the contrary,
and therefore went for free government, free
discussion and free SOIL and continued mainly on
this platform ill 1852; when at their Baltimore
Convention, last summer, they turned a complete
somerset, and adopted the old Federal creed as
their Platform, in common with the Wing party,
with whom it was merely revival of their old
doctrines. Now, the editor of the Patriot sup
ported the Baltimore Platform, in its pledged
nominee. Frank Pierce; while Mr.. Branerd
supported the Pittsburgh Platform, into which
was incorpora, ted the identical doctrines of the
discarded platform of the old Jefferson Detnoc-
racy. Which, then is the Federast, which the
Democrat, the editor of the Fremont Patriot, or
Lawrence Branerd? Let the frpemen decide.
For myself, bolieve that the Free Democratic
party of Vermont, with Lawrence Brainerd at
its head, is the same Democracy which was
founded by Thomas Jefferson, and at the coming
election shall vote accordingly; aud further
believe that every other well informed, honest
Jefferson Democrat will do so likewise. and en-
deavor to lead his sons and grandsons to The
Ballot Box for the same purpose. Fhe country,
it seems to me, have had enough of Federal
alien and sedition and gag laws, and enough of
the same but worse, thing in the late Wing
Fugitive Slave Law, and trust the true De
mocracy will not be long in rally,ng against
them all- whether falhered BY Whlggery or the
sham Democracy who now rule at Washington

Shall We Abide by Our Nomina-
.... tions ?

We have often been usked, whether, under
the existing state of things on the Liquor Law
question, The Free Democrats should in all cases
abide by the nominations of their county con-
ventions? And, with all our personal anxiety to
see good and etfic,en liquor permanently es-
tabished, we have always answered yes, and
for these reasons
|. Because our Free Democratic State Con
vention, and our County Conve ntions, so far as
we have heard, agreed not to make test
of the Liquor Law, this year, on the ground that
there were many good men in our own party
and men in other parties inclinlng TO join US,
who, though willing to do all they righlfully
could for the cause of Temperance, could no,
be brought to approve all the provisions of the
present Liquor Law.
2. Because the Liberty, free-soil and Free
Democratic party have always been, from the
first, altogether the purest and most reliable
temperance men, as body of any party in the
State; and consequently when that party prevails
the best laws that can be made for the suppress
sion of iniemperancc, vii be established so
that all those VINO would hel on This great moral
reform, can in no way do 1t So surely as by
supporting our tickets.
3. Because the present agitation involves only
a local and temporary issue, which must, and we
trust win, this fall, be so settled as to secure
the ocq"iercence of the great body of the PEG
pie, and be agltalcd no more whereas the cause
If the Free Democracy involves principles as
broad as the nation, and as lasting as the ques.
ton of its liberties, and
4. Because desertionof onr regularly NOM
mated tickets would be disastrous to our cause
hereafter
We would dictate to no man, but such are our
convictions in relation to the duty of the Free
Democracy 10 support their own tickets; and
we are gralifed to perceive, by the course of the
other Free Democratic papers in the State, that
they all coincide with US on the subject.
