If the Free Sellers thought it their duty to
unite with either the pro-slavery parties, my
preference would have been the Wings LIST, be-
cause their candidates were by far the better
men, most reliable on temperance, &C.; I'd, be-
cause we had once tried the Democrats to our
sorrow and, Sd, because it was the only party,
(thc Senate being Whig,) that could give us a
U. S. Senator, but that they would SO do, had
very little confidence. IF the Wings really
desired union on reciprocal principles, why
did they not come, by their committee to the
Free Soil committee and make reliable propo-
sitiop, leaving it with the Free Sellers to NOM
mate their own candidates That, and only
that, would have been honorable No one pre-
sumes to say that proposal was so made, nor
does any one say that of tho Wings who propo-
sed to vote for Shafter, enough of them were
Senators to control that body; without which
all their efforts were vain. During the whole
of the session, it was my serious conviction that
the Wings in the Senate did not intend that q
U. S. Senator should be elected and am now
fully confirmed in that belief, and thank Sena-
tor Foot for the PROOF. (sce Congressional

if he can crush the progress of Liberty there,
he can stop this old man here in Tuscola from
THINKING, or defeat the determination OF the
Almighty that the knowledge of the Lord shall
cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea

Slavery exists in its present form.
think the Presidents Message in general
very able. But think his recommendation to
pay for the Amistad negroes was mistake and
will open wide field for the discussion OF
the Slavery question, which was entirely put to
rest by the Compromises and the Fugitive Slave
Law. Probably his recommendation will be
complied with. But it will be black spot on
American history, though, like the Fugitive
Slave Law, it will be like oil on the machinery
of the car of civil and religious liberty.
believe the people of Vermont are almost
unanimously snti-slavery in sentiment, but are
50 strongly attached to the names of their old
political parties, that they do not perceive that
they are supporting platform entirely contrary
to their own faith and Free Democrats have
some disagreements about measures; but be-
lievc in general men act honestly, although not
righteously, and all that is wanted is light,
LIGHT believe, as wrote to DR.. Bailey, edi-
tor of the Era, that our Saviour was the great
est politician that ever existed, and that his
platform (the Golden Rule) is entirely faultlcss.
And the clause of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence that declares all men to be born free, &C.,
is legitimate child of our Savior's platform ;
and the Free Democratic platform belongs to
the same family. But now I say the plat
forms of the two old parties-the Wings and
Democrats, are both wicked and as nearly alike
as an old wicked man and wicked old man,
and I cannot see what they have to quarrel
about, unless it is about the teats, as there is not
enough for all the pigs, and I think there is
some squealing among the hungry pigs already
But as the Government has plenty of milk, it
may add teats as occasion requires.

to discuss the merits of the cause Of difference

may, it should be borne in mind that the ma

and for that our party have been and are still
contending. Not that the majority will always,
under all circumstances, do right; but there is
no other safe principle or rule ofaction in regard
to political matters. If then we concede the
right of the majority to govern in the State and
Nation, shall we deny that right in party! Be-
ware, then, of schism in the ranks of the friends

Justice and humanity unite, and with " God and

Slavery, the greatest curse of our country, and

formed head-ncver again to raise it to spread
misery and corruption broadcast over the face Of
