In the Sentinel of the 9th il is asserted
positively that ~ Mr.. Fletcher did, with til,
other Vermont Delegates, sign the philAdcl.
phia minority protest which ignored tho
question Of slavery, reading as follow.
THE undersigned, citizens of the United
States, and residents of those States set OBJ
posite their names, solemnly protest against
the introduction Of any question connected
with Slavery Into the platform on principles
of the American party,-being convinced that
no such issues were intended to be embraced
within its purposes and ohjscts."
We said that we should " he glad to have
the Sentinel exhibit the proof Of its asscr-
ton, and gave good reasons why, till it did
SO, we should be satisfied that lac did not
sign it.
Does the Sentinel bring forward any such
proof Not it,-but it ,nSinuatCS, though it
does not assert that the proof can be found in
our own columns. Z" Better overhaul YOUR
files, neighbor it says and refresh your mo
mory. 1t is becoming iuconvenirntly short. -
1t is possible that the Sentinel had blum
dcred into jeLJ that there was such
evidence III our columns, though it could
not but know that it had not toupd it there,
1eco"se II rs nat Herc nor anything that l,oks
like it.
The most charitable explanation which we
can find Of the SeHtneis course is, that it
coniounds the minority piatIor0,. To which
Mr.. Fletcher's name IS attached With the Cor.
JohnsoH protest to which it is not attached
so far as we have yet had reason to believe.

We give below sample of the way tho
South plays the game, when the extension of
the slave power is among the stakes. Look
over every platform which any division what
ever in the Southern States sets up, and YOU
lind them all containing an open declaration
OF adherence, at all cost, to the claims Of
slavery over freedom State rights men.

that Which ever way the copper falls the
pro-SIdrery side is to rain. Yet x-Goy.
Hunt Of N. y, thinks the way for the free
states to save what rights they have left to

from them by violence and treachery, is to
appeal to that portion of the Southern pco
pie who are still loyal to country. and faith
iul to time honored covenants, invoking them

slave territory, what we had solemnly sworn
should be forever free, if we should not be

The Republican Ticket.

Remember that the REPUBLICAN Ticket is
nominated to uphold great PRIsclrLE, that
of love for the sacred rights of Men, of LAW,
of the FREE STATES, and of the CONSTITUTION
as WAsuISGroS, MADISON, SHERMAN, FRANKLIN
and their associates in the Convention of 1857
intended it to apply that of n resistance in
all lawful and constitutional modes to the
efforts of the slavo-holding power to force
Slavery-a local cvil--into possession of all
tho Territory of the ENTIRE NATION. What
that power has done and is doing to force
Slavery into Kansas, tells the people of the
North that they have neither strength to
waste nor time to lose, if they will save their
own free institutions from being trodden
under foot

without weakening the cause which they all
profess to love, and giving the enemies Of that
cause occasion to rejoice at the success of
their plans for dividing now those whom
they intend to conquer hereafter.
The FOURTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER is now close
at hand. FULL vote, UNITED vote in Yer
