eper tam Friends of Freedom
let not Liberty be slain in the hous
of its friends Let not slavery sc
cure triumph by dividing the ar
my of Freedom.
We beg you to remember tha
the policy Of the slavocracy, DELHI
erately planned aud unscrupulousl!
carried out, is TO DIVIDE TIL
FRIENDS OF FRFEDoM. For thi:
purpose The Wing Slavocrats of the
South went into the Know Nothing
organization, and attempted to con-
troll 1t for StaUery. For this pur-
pose the Democratic Slavocrats re-
sorted to secret cabals, bound by
oath TO .faror foreigners, in Or
der to carry the foreign voters
for slavery in the Middle and West
ern States while in Vermont and
New- England generally, they raise
the hollow aud hypocritical cry OF
anti-Know Nothingism. Thus you
see that both sides Of the Knoio
Nothing question are pressed into
the serUice cfSia0vy! Thus you see
clearly that the anli-Know Nothing
hue aud cry, in Vermont, is raised
solely for the purpose of diciding
The tricnds Of Freedom, and dchieU-
ing a cictory for Slavery, under
Jatse Pretences.
The supporters of the present sla-
vocratic administration in this coun-
" are now DoISG THIS WORK FOR
THE SLAvocRAoY. They knew that
they could not succeed IN the coun-
ty unless they could diride The
JriendS Of freedom, and all their eff
forts have been aimed to effect this
purpose. To this end, they pretend
to raise this ne1o and false Il. ~
issue. Now mark their hypocrisy.
They carefully erciude cray Re

nominate FIVE supporters of the
slavccratic Administration, & three
Wings, not one Of ichom is on TIE
