Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1854-08-24
For the Green Mountain freeman

Mr.. THOMPSON The time is near at hand
when the frccmen of Washington County will
elect their several officers There really seems
to he but two prominent questions before the
public-LlBERTY AND TEMPERANCE; SLAVERY
AND RrM. There are three sets of candidates in
the field. On the 9th of July the friends Of
the Administration and portion of the Free
Soil party met in Convention and agreed npon
ticket composed of men of entirely opposite
principles. a portion Of the ticket are in faror
Of the repeal Of the Missouri compromise, and
portion are against it. The Republican party
held Convention, and nominated clean lib
erty ticket The candidates are IA unit in rrin-
ciplc, all Liberty and Temperance men. On the
9th instant, the Wings held a Convention, and
nominated pure Wing ticket. Which ticket
Speech, and Free Men to support In unity
there is strength \ three-lod cord is not easily
broken In order to effect any good to the
Slave, and to counteract the effects of the Ne
braska outrage, it is all-imrortant that the
North should be united. How can we better
unite than to rally as one man under the Re-
publican banner! Suppose the Democratic can
ddatcs should be elected, would there be any
thing gained to the cause of Liberty Iioy OF
the candidates are identified in the support of
THIS Slavery Administration. The others, by
running for tic party, really give it their coun-
tcnancc and support. The object is to divide
and conquer. The election of this ticket is, to
all intents and purposes, a triumph of Slavery,
and will be 50 considered. Divide, distract and
conquer, has always been the policy of the Slave
Power. Oil and water can as consistently unite
as Freedom and Slavery. AS well might tie
Christian Church attempt to carry out the pure
principles of the Gospel, by forming rnion
with the followers Of MAhomct. What should
we expect Of a Church whose officers were one
half Christians, and the other half MAhomc-
dams Every one would see that the Church
was crying, " Good Lord Good Devil that
it was lukewarm, and should be spued out of
the way. Here you see Mr. Slavery A. and Mr..
Anti'Slavcry b. costly standing ON tho same
platform, and running for Office on the same
ticket. The loavcs and fishes indace this unnat-
ural union. The prostitution of free soil, the
suOerings of the poor outcast slave, the violation
OF plightcd faith, arc Of no cons quencc-they
are all swallowed up in the serca cardinal vr-
tues.
Frcemcn Of Washington County! are yon
satisfied with the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise Are you willing to submit to South
ern insoence, and Southern dctation, Do you
love and approve the coarse of Northern traitors
and doughfaces If 50, vote for this mixed
ticket, bat if, on the contrary, you would wrest
this country from the iron rule of the Slave
Power, and bring men back to the good old doc
trnc that all men are created free and equal
then, regardless of minor differences, rally un-
der the Republican dag, and vote for men who
have formed no entangling alliances, but whose
aim and object is, in common with yours, to ad-
vance the cause of justice, righteousness and
humanity. An ANTI-SLAyERY REPUBLICAN,
