Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1854-06-29

In the following, from a soldier OF dozen
years standing in the anti-slavery warfare in
Vermont, the old liberty steel rings out unmis-
takably. Col. S. takes up his pen but seldom,
and never in vain. His views, together with
those of our two other correspondents, Wind
ham," and 81 G. ST." are the views of the
great body of the old Free Sellers of the State.
For the Green Mountain Freeman
FRIEND THoMpsoN Sir Il read in the Tenn
perance Standard and the National Era an ex-
tract from the Brandon Post, in which the edi-
tor urges upon the-Frcc Democratic party the
wisdom of adopting the ticket for State Officers
put in nomination at Rutland, and says, "We
have yet to meet the Free Democrat who feels
otherwise" Now, sir, wish to say to that
editor-in one corner of your excellent paper
that there is, in Windsor County, at least one
:. Free Democrat who feels otherwise" not be-
cause he dislkes the name /" Wing till
the death of Harrison, it was his delightful
because, to his mind, there is not sufficient evil
dence that the Wings of Vermont, or even the
first and third nominees of the Rutland Conven-
ton, have yet cut loose from the southern wing
of their party. Until that is done, they are in
Slavery power, and must do her bidding.
True, if the principles laid down in the Rut-
land resolutions are to be carried out fully, and
the pledge therein made faithfully redeemed,
why, thsn they have already slipped out of the
moose, have severed the cord and are no more Of
the national Wing party. But do they give us
reliable evidence that they so construe their res
olutions--that they so intend to carry them out
Nay, do not their recent movements permit
us to doubt An isolated party, the Wings OF
the Free States cannot expect to crush the Slave
Power of the Union, nor can the Wings of Ver-
mont, unaided by either Of the other parties,
have very strong hopes ofplacing Hon. Stephen
Royce in the Chair of State. Why, then, did
they, in hot haste, issue Wing call for State
Convention, and reject the proposition for a
Mass Convention of all the opponents ofSlavery
without distinction of party, for the formation
of party that should carry the State triumph
anty1 Why did they select from the Free
Democratic party man who is about to leave
the State, but for the purpose of filling the va
cancy with Whig' Why did they not take
for one of their candidates, an Anti-Nebraska
Democrat, if opposition to that outrage was
their prime object
Do they expect to draw into their support
those who were once of the old line Democracy
while they (the Whigs) retain, as they now
say they do, their attachment to the genera
principles and policy which have hitherto dis
tinguished them! That is, (may we suppose,
the policy of adopting Anti-Slavery resolutions
and voting for such men as John Tyler, Henry
Clay, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore an'
Winfield Scott. In those days they claimed tt
be the only true Anti-Slavery party, and it il
hoped they have made advances in the RICH
direction, put forth their best resolves with full
purpose to carry them out bya consistent course
of action.
When they shall have SO done, they shall
have the hearty cooperation of their old friend
A. STIMsoN.
