THE VOICE 1' Ei 11 ITU (3 F H M E. A. ALLEN, Publisher. Published under the sanction of the Vermont Jlnti- Slavery Society. C. L. KNAPP, Editor VOIiUME I. RKKVTPELIEK, VESIOJIT, XOV&UDEU 10, 1S39. NUMBER 4C. From the Pennsylvania Freeman, Folitical Action. Nomination of distinct anti-slavery candidates. We have read with no smiill degree of inter est the address of a comrniuee of abolitionists in Monroe county, New York, in favor of a distinct political organization on anti-slavery grounds. We sat down to its perusal, predisposed to with hold our assent to its arguments, but we are free .lo confess that we have found ourselves unable to answer them, in a manner satisfactory to our own mind. The course heretofore recommen ded, viz: to withhold our votes from pro-slavery candidates and give them only to men favorable to our principles, beautiful as it has ever seemed to us in theory, has thus fir proved a -practical failure. Witness the New York and Massachu setts election last year. Abolitionists have been false to their dutyt they have covered them selves and the cause of freedom with disgrace. Vermont abolitionism has cftert been cited as an evidence of the efficiency ot this action : yet, the abolitionism of Vermont is not represented on jhe floor of Congress. One of her Senator? meanly apologized lttst year for the passage of the anti-slavery resolutions of the Legislature : and that verV Legislature elected another Senator who is reported 'to have exulted over the duped friends of freedom, who were prevailed upon to eive him their votes, at.'d in the excitement of victory to have rejoiced thai he "could go into Confess without a nigger on his back." The abolftionists of Rhode Island at the lata election for Congress had a noble opportunity to discrimi nate at the ballot box between a friend and an en emv of freedom. Thomas W. Dorr, a member of the Executive Committee of the State Society. Was a candidate for Congress, and was basely de serted bv the professed friends of the slave. Of the eiht hundred anti-slavery men who fou years ago signed the call for the Rhode Island Anti-Slaverv Convention, a few only were found willing to sacrifice their party predilections. Th Democratic: abolitionists had no confidence in the integrity of a Whig candidate ; 'the Whjg had no faith in tho man who was held up as a Van Burea partisan ; ar.d the consequences has been that both have voted with their respective parties. In our Stata New Hampshire the friends ol emancipation at the last Congressional election, took the bold step of nominating a list of thorough anti-slavery candidates. With but little effort with all the scruples and difficulties attendant upon a new movement to contend with in a State where abolitionism had been crushed down by the united energies of both political parties eighteen hundred good men and true, deposi ted their votes for the anti-slavery ticket. Had the New York abolitionists at the election last year been as faithful, the vote of Lt. Gov. Brad ish would have exceeded that of the pro-slavery candidates by a majority of more than 10,000 votes. - We leave these facts, for the consideration of our readers. The question, whether vve shall vote for men nominated by others, and for purposes foreign to our cause, or nominate candidates of our own, is not one of principle, but simply of expediency; and our only aim should be to do what is best calculated to promote the slaves' freedom. We may hereafter find room to publish the Rochester address, not endorsing in all re spects its conclusions, but regarding it as an able and important document, deserving, to say the least, the candid attention of the friends of eman cipation. We perceive by the last Liberator that the Board of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, have issued a long address to the aboli tionists of that State, in which they deprecate the nomination of distinct anti-slavery candidates, not aswrongin itself, but asbad policy ;Withthegen eral tenor of this address we agree. We believe with it : " That our cause is indissolubly con nected with the politics of the country that it has always contemplated the use of political action for the overthrow of slavery that its success is involved in the fidelity with which its electoral friends bestow their suffrages, irrespective of par ty lines and badges." And while we are oppos sed to any attempt to FottcE into life a distinct po litical party in favor of Emancipation we cannot undertake "to censure our New Hampshire friends for their course last year, believing as we do that this matter must be left to abolitionists in their various localities to decide for themselves. We sincerely hope lhat our friends in Massac.hu sets will at the coming election wipe out the deep and black reproach, which now rests upon our cause in consequence of the misereble results of the last election. In the name of the abolition ists of Pennsylvania, we entreat them to remem ber the slave on the day of election : and to for get on that day all their dissentions to stand for . that time, at least, shoulder to shoulder, an un broken phalanx of consistent men. They are trong in numbers, and if they are faithful in this Srial-time of their integrity, they will secure the eesjiect of the slaveholder; and the fear and dread of the unswerving adherence to the right, will be felt by both political parties at the north. for ourselves, we are solicitous mainly for the integrity of the friends of the slave. So long as they vote, as they have heretofore to a great ex tent, for mere party candidates with the collar of political servitude upon them, irrespective of their sentiments and practice on the question of emancipation, they undo on the day of election all which they may have done for the bondmen in tho other 364 days of the year. They nre as justly chargeable with the guilt of upholding slavery, as the electors of Maryland or Virginia. The cruise cannot prosper with such auxiliaris. The prayer of such will be an abomination be fore the God of the oppressed ; and when they appeal to tho slaveholder and urge him to the sacrifice of his property, well may tho latter re tort upon them : "Hypocrites ! first sacrifice your own prejudices and partialities, before you ash m to turn my family as beggars into the street.' Of one thing we nre fully persuaded, unless abolitionists can be induced to act more consis tent in this matter, we may as well give over our exertions as an organized Society. The un faithfulness of many of our number neutralizes in a great degree even the moral influence of the honest and upright. The slaveholder sees the inconsistency and folly of his reprovers; H teels justihed in imputing base motives to aboli tinnists generally ; and their prayers, entreatio and rebukes fall oowerless on bis ears: H classes the innocent with tho guilty the honest aavocato ot freedom, with the canting hypocrite v noways oneway and votes another. i ue power oi moral suasion consists no! in numbers. The voice of one honest reformer. whose practice and life ore consistent with his profession,- and who gives on all occasions evi uencc of h.s sincerity and forgctfullness of self in his concern for others, is ever more powerful in us appeals to conscience, than the stormy re bukes of an inconsistent multitude. If moral. suasion then alone is to bo depended upon for the emancipation of the slave, we should for ourselves, urge the immediate dissolution of our societies. I he faithful and true hearted would then be able lo address themselves to the con science and better feeling of the slaveholder, un embarrassed by their association with the unwor thy and hypocritical. Charles Hammond, Esq., the shrewd and able conductor cf the Cincinnati Daily Gazette in his paper of the 22d uh., has the following article THE HOLDING BACK SYSTEM. This system has become the lever of all the country s operations, especially of those which hnve some unpleasant points about thein. Th vvhigs hold back nominating their candidate for the presidency. And their leading papers hold buck all discussion of the preferences that should bo given between the candidates. A mighty effort is made to hold back all inquiry respecting the effect of slavery, upon'the institutions and business of tho nation. Its progress, its expansion, the opinions, feelings and doctrines which originate and sirengthen it are held back. Congress, polit ical party, the press, the pulpit all hold back inosc who rctusc to hold nadi are reviled ana reprobated. The tariff mu?t not be discussed except to coti dernn it. Any thing like the truth respecting i must be held back. Cotton must be heki back, and the why and the wherefore must also bo held buck. Bacon is held back, and the owners ex pect the public press to hold back all expositions ol the object and consequence. Money is held back, and why it is so, must be held back too. All this holding hack is insisted upon to aid the success ot humbug And humbug is a great nursing mother, of many things, besides Morus Multicaulis. The r.cuntry is wihering and withering under all the hold backs fastened upon it. In nothing is this more prevalent than in relation to the lead ing measures of the South. Her politicians make no secret of their sectional feelings and purposes rule or ruin is her motto. The tariff was ta ken off to prevent open insurrection from ripening into treason. And the absence of the tariffis now conducing largely to our embarrassments. It permits the English manufacturer, after the pur chases of the season are made, to glut our markets with merchandize of the same character, and sell it at prices so low as to drive our own merchants from the trade. A most instructive article upon this subject, is copied into our columns to-day, from the Baltimore American, which should be carefutly read. The subject is tabooded, or under the order of hold back; and this makes a sensible view of it, the more valuable. But the reviewer holds back the great truth, that a sectional power broke up the protective system; That same, power which is now involving all the business of the Union in prostrating disaster, by a hold back of her cotton. She bullied Con sress to srive up the tariff- she bribed the Banks to become cotton dealers, to force a raise of prices. The Pennsylvania Monster has sunk under her fiorts to sustain tho cotton market. Ihe lianlt of England has shivered in her strongest har ness. The price of Cotton consolidates, and the people of th United Stales rejoice. But one eat truth is held bade. When the English manufacturer pays a high price for cotton, he charges it on his fabric. Those who wear Eng lish manufacturers pay for tho staple. When holding back the cotton secures an advanced price for the planter, it operate as a tax on all other employments, who have, at least, to pay that price. The farmer and the artizan, the laborer and the manufacturer of the West, and the North, and the East, all their employments are deranged that price may be raised upon thein for the great staple ! And the mass of sufferers hum bugged to deem itfall for the public good ! And the press must hold all this, back. The wide ex tent of the cotton humbug, its ramifications of in terest and their influence, wherever they are felt, must not be explained. The South Ho! trea son there! All about the South must be held back, except that she produces the great staple, and in consideration whereof she is to be receiv ed as the great regulator of the land ! Extract of a letter recently received from Lon don. 'American Slavery as it is' is not only wtll received, but is doing good for there are still those who say that a " false coloring" has always been thrown around the slave system ; such, though professedly opposed to slavery, have nev er felt bound, as with those who are bound. 'The testimony of n thousand witnesses' presents the system disrobed in all its naked deformity coverless, save in the drippings of blood, its na tive dress. I hope and expect lhat it will be re viewed by some master hand and come back to you, sending foi'th its wailings until there shall be melting heaits. Eman. The Holy Bible.
