Mn. WALToN AT the Mass State Con-
vention held at Montpelier on the 18th July,
the following resolution was adopted ave
do, as Wings, Free Democrats, and Demo-
Gratis, freely reliDquish our former party asso-
Citations and ties, to form new party organi-
zation, having for its object the blessings Of
Liberty to ourselves, to our posterity, and
wise, Just and economical administration of
the Government" The Hon. Roderick Rich
ardson attended the convention, took part,
and poted for the above resolution, thereby
pledging himself to abide by, and carry out
the principles contained in said resolution
On the 10Th Of July number of Democrats
and Free Democrats met in union conven-
ton and nominated Free Democratic aud
Democratic ticket for the county of Wash
ngton. This union ticket comprises, for
Senators, Roderick Richardson ard Ezra
Kidder. Dir. kidder is thorough going,
straight forward friend and supporter of the
Administration, approves the Baltimore
platform, the fugitive Slave act of 1850
the repeal Of the Missouri compromise, the
Nebraska and Kansas outrage, and the burn
ing of Greytown, together with all other acts
and doings which the Administration has
done and performed, or may hereafter do
and perform. Mr.. Richardson has abandon
ed all former party associations, and lies" to
form a netc party organization, for the pur-
pose of securing the blessings of liberty TO
ourselves, and our posterity. Mr.. Richard
son formerly professed 10 be a free democrat.
The enquiry naturally suggests itself-how
are the blessings Of Liberty 10 ourselves and
our posterity' 10 be benefited, aud advan
ced by this unnatural combination, and nsso-
citation? Will Richardson swallow kidder /?
if so, will he not get into his stomach such a
dose of Slavery decoction, as will materially
lessen his free energies, and thereby, in
great measure, destroy his power to extend
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity On the other hand suppose Kidder
swallows Richardson, will this free soil dose,
make him abandon all "former party
associations and ties" g. induce him hereafter
to devote himself to the extension Of the
blessings Of Liberty TO ourselves and our
poste1tyg" For county Judges, Lorenzo
Black and Cyrus Brown, - Black, Nebraska
Brown anti-Nebraska. Now, if Black swal-
lows Brown, or Brown swallows Black how
far will the " blessings Of Liberty 10 our
Selres and our posteriiy' be secured, by the
swallowing of these several counteractng
doses. This we leave to the Doctors to de-
termine. Sometimes, the effect Of poison is
cured, by taking poison. Timothy P. Red
field is the candidate OF the" Free Democratic
and Democratic" convention, for States At
torney. There seems to be conflict, be-
tween Mr.. Redied's head and heart, which
is on the Free Democratic and which en- the
Democratic platform is doubtful perhaps ii
might puzzle himself TO determine. Shu-
abel Wheeler, Judge of Probate. Judge
Wheeler is one of the iuciy sort, and will be
with the strongest party as soon as he is
well informed on that subject For the
present he chooses to have one foot on the
stdUery and the other on the dnii-sldrery
