A Word for every Wing.

The Rutland Convention adopted plat
form giving special prominence-for the
time being, and until the great question OF
Nationalizing Freedom or Slavery is deter
mined. giving exclusive prominence-to the
new issues presented by the passage of the
Nebraska bill; pledged the wings of Yer
mont to resist all aggressions upon Freedom
to resist the extension of Slavery at every
point-to resist the admission of any state,
or the requirement ofany territory, tolcrating
Slavery--and TO reform that Administration
which, by gross abuse of its power, has Sc
cured the perpeuation of an outrage hitherto
unparalleled in the history of American poll
tics and in good faith offered the cooperation
of the wing party, and invited the co-opera-
ton Of all other parties, in this noble work.
Wings most Of you have cordially adop-
ted and approved of that platform. We have
only 10 say, sustain it in good faith sustain
it with all your heart and might; sustain it
at the polls; sustain it in your candidates
and whatever others may do-whatever OBJ
staeies you may meet-neyer forget that il is
your duty, frs, and last, 10 stand by your
principles.
We are aware that here and there . wing
doubts the necessity or propriety of the course
taken BY the Convention regards it perhaps
% departure from good old fashioned whig
principles, and an adoption Of the freesoil
platform or perhaps feels that these have
always been wing doctrines, and that all men
Of other parties, who now adopt them, ought
to come TO the wing ranks. Brother wings I.
your representatives at Rutland Judged the
necessity to be absolute--ihe propriety un.
questionable they judged the platform to be
entirely consistent with the long cherished
principles Of the wings of Vermont, incul-
csied by their fathers, and honored BY the
noblcst names on the roll of ilustrious whie
Dsztesmcn and in proposing the cooperation
pf all parties, without a sacrifice Of party
or party principles, they be-
'eved that they were proposing q course
honorable, patriotic, practicable, and the only

Remember,

That the one grand issue in the ap-
preaching election, an issue overshadowing
all others, is, Sh1H the Nebraska biz be sus-
tIined2 On this question, every freeman
will give his decision. Staying away from
the polls will show that you are Indifferent to
that gross outrage. A vote for the Admins

Argue as you may, it inevitably comes to
that result. Your voice will be counted on
that side. Only vote for RoroE, FETCH

measure. Only vote for the REGULAR TIC

No Chance for him.

We have heard good anecdote-perfect-
y authentic, too-of one of Eastman's can
ddates for Judge We mean Brown, of
Worcester. Brown visited good freesoiler
before the county conventions and asked
what was to be done. The gentleman re-
sponded by advising him to 60 into the Mass
Convention of the 5th ofAugust. Brown
frankly said that he wished 10 be Sheriff! T!
that he had opposed Bates in the free soil
State convention and therefore, said he, h" if
90 into the Mass convention, ashanti stand

Dumb.

The Hon. Roderick Richardson has sent
us no answers TO the civil questions put last
week. We infer that he is in fapor of the
present administration,and ofthe party which
supports it that he will not vote for Royce,
Fletcher and Bates and that he will not
support opponents of the Neb rsska swindle
and Of the Administration for U. S. Senators.
Ii IS well to have these things understood.

s. SMITH Esq: DEAR SiR,-Your favor Of
this date is at hand, making inquiry of me
touching my anti-slayery sentiments, and
whether ! should adhere to the principles
dopted at the mass convention at Montpelier
on the 18th Of July last.
have not the resolutions at hand which
were adopted at the Convention on the 18th
Of July, but my recollection of them is that
they were very similar to those adopted by
the Waig Convention, previously held at
Rutland, and Of course might be expected to
meet with my acquiescence.
have however, no hesitation in saying
that am opposed to the admission of any
more slave states into the Union, and IN
favor not only of restoring the restriction Of
slavery 10 TO the Missouri compromise line,
but also of extending that restriction to all
territories belonging to the United States.
am in favor of a radical change in the Fugi-
tive Slave act by which trial by Jury shall
be secured, and the right Of Habeas Corpus !;
and, i; this shall not be conceded, then
should be for unconditional epeal--leavlng
the subject to be provided for by the several
states, where | think it belongs.
ltmay perhaps be proper that should also
state that should be in favor Of substituting
money for the liquor ratons in the Navy, and
for the humiliation of the groggeres in and
around the Capitol at Washington.
Very respectfully yours,

The Swinders have placed the name Of
Nelson B. Chase of Calais upon their county
ticket. "-Pairiot
That's about as near the truth as the Pat
riot usually gets. The swindlers" nomln-
ated Judge Wheeler, and we suspect that
nobody regrets it more than the Judge him
self. Certain 1t is that some Of the Judges
friends declare that he is opposed to the Ad-
mnistration. If such is the fact, his nomin-
atlon BY Eastman's convention, and his post
in the Patriot, as one of the Democratic
Ticket" are only some of Eastman's swim
dies. Now if the Judge is an antl-adminis-
ton man, the running of him in an admins
tration organ, without letting his position be
known, is a swindle," both upon the
Judge and the administration men. There
are two ways to avoid the swindle either
the Judge should decline in favor of his
neighbor Chase, who is an opponent of the
Administration, or else he should require
the Patriot TO say that he is not a supporter
of the Administration, nor of its " Montpelier
organ. There's a chance for you, Judge.

The MsssaRc.

This annual document is plain and we'll
written ono. The President speaks in
terms Of congratulatiou Of the peace and
prosperity Of the Country; and the steady
and constant increase Of its commerce.
He is desirous that all our foreign relations
may he amicably sustained, while at the
same time the course Of the Administration
has been threatening TO bring US into con-
hct with other nations. The great accom-.
plishmGnt Of Commodore Perry, in success
fully treating with the Japanese nation is
lightly passed over. He sustains. a. great
length. Capt. Hollins in the destruction ol
the piratical colony of Greytown, and think,
it was all right and proper. This portion
Of the message will be looked to with con-
siderable interest. Tho receipts into the
treasury during the year were 751 millions
dollars, and the expenditures over IS mill
ions. His ideas on internal improvements
which were to have been put forth at this
time, be wishholds for a future special mes
sage.
Our President has come to the same
conclusion that thousands of common citi
zens of the Union have. He commences
by saying, "the past has been an erenyu
year, and will hereafter be referred to as a
marked expose in the history of the world. =
