The Necessity Of A Liberty Party

We need such a party . ' 1 . To resist, and ul'.iniately to rectify the unequal representation of the slave States in the National Lcgislature. One slaveholder, in sonoe cases, has as much politica! power as two, ihree, and (our iiorthern voters. 3. To secure a just share of the nntional treasuros, which may be divided aroong the States from time to time. In the recent división of the proceeds of the public land?, the wholo South receives $364,000 a yoar for holding elaves. In some States, each freeman receives nearly doublé the portion of each nortJiern ireetnan. S. To secnre their just shnre of the nationa! óppöintrnentsi to oflicc. Th.e.

To put an end to the Florida War, whicli hns eostusaccording to Mr. Gidding'a statement, about S40,000,9üO and to secure us ngainst commencing any more wars for the defonce of slaveholding. The Florida war never would have been heard. of, had siavery not been in existence; und yt the Nortli paya some 25 or 30 miJüons" of the expense, without objecfing a word. ■ 5. To establish some regular system of finnncc. Nothing permanent can bfe secured by legislation, while an ever redtless slave Jabor interest is prepared to subvert every system of nalionaJ finonce, as often as. ts fanciedinterestsmay díctate. 0. To protect our civil and poli, ical rights. i Both parties have deprived,us of the right' of pelition. and are prepared to go any! engths agaiiiBt our libenics which the south' vill require, and uhieh the North will subs! nut to.

U is not to b{ iisguised, that, to a great ex;.ent, m times pnel, such lias not been the case. Efïorts have been rnado by political partizans to crowd out that class frum tlie admiotralion of governmer.t, by nominating drinking, Ogliting, gambling, Jjcentious, duelling, profane, dtsJuie candjd.tes.
