Lenawee County: For The Signal Of Liberty

Messrs. Editors:- At our laat Election, the snme apaihetic feeling prevailed among all pariics in this county, as doubtlesa did n ot her portions of our State. There seemed to be nothing uncommon to cali men out to election, the wcathei being soraewhat tempestuous, ond the farmers beinjj busüy engsgcd itisecunng their fall crops were probably the principal reasonswhy there were not raore votes polled. Notwithstanding the numerous difficultieá which mïght be enumerated, there does not seem to be a dying nway of the Liberty party in this county; although there bas been no effbrt of any nmount made by the friends, yet there eeems to be a regular increaso of votes. There would have been many more nt our last election, f ballots could have been pro cured in proper season. I received a letter a few days since from a gentleman in Medina, in thii County, ntating that that Town gave nly iix Liberty voteB, whereae, if they could have had ballots it would Jnvo g'iven from thirty to thirly-five; also in the Township of Madison, I counted fifieen Liberty voters who etayed tway from ibe polls; und eo far as I have been able to hear from the otber Towns of the county, there was a similar want of action. Although measures were earljr taken by the committee for the distribntion of ballots amone the severa] towns of this county, vet I am sorry to say that either through their carelessness, or somc unforeseen ditTicul ty, some towns faileil in obtaining their quola. It is most earnestly lioped thnt herea fier there wil! be eome effectual mcasurs taken to secure to each Township in dueseason ïts proper quantity of ballots. It isa matter which should not entirely devolve upon tbe county committeö to see that they are sent to each town. The several Township commiüees should see io it in season, and if no one gets them thcy ehould immediafely send or go themselve to where they can be obtained. In many of the Towns we are rot sufficicntly acquainted to know to whom to send, and for ono or two to go into every town, and hunt ap a Liberty man or some one with whom t would be eafe to leave them, is no inconsiderable task. There are those passing and. repassing daily from all part$ of the county, which affbrds sirfficient opportunity for sending; and wby will not those who feel that interest they should feel in the cause of human oppression, avail themselves of every possible spportunity for advancing a cause which is thus fraught with justice.i am aware irom wnat 1 have been able to hear that the same difficulty prevaled in other parts of our Península in consequence of which, theaggrogate of thenon-attendants ;o the polls, cannot at least, be less than from five to 8ix hundred. Lenawte alone no doubt, feil short one fifth of her actual Liberty vote. Shall thi state of things be longer suffered to exist in a party which at present are depending principally upon its numbcrs, or will those who feel interested in the canse awake to a sense of their dutyi Individual action is certainly, or will be, the great eecret of our success. If this be true, let not one wail for another, but each and every one put ehoulder to the wheel, and rest assured the car of Liberty will move onward with accelerated velocity.isily eet discouraged on account of our _ f being so much in the minority. Saying lere is no visible probability of success; at " ast not under a nuraber of years to come, lerefore they will Jay a6ide all and every - rinciple which they themselves acknowledge J beright, and jast, and join and act with a 1 arty whose fundamental principies are rounded in injustice and wrong, simply beause it is, or probably soon will be, in the ïajority. Men who will thus lay nside every rinciple of honor tor the sake of interest, are ot fit io belong to any party, or at least to a .iberty party. It is, I believe, univeraally cknowledged Ihat our cause is oue of justice, tc aving for it object none other than to Q, ure to each and every hurcan being that 'hich the God of Nature intended he sheuld ave, that is the right of person and of proprty. And whenever and vvherever these inlienable rights have been properly sought afir by an intelligent people, they have not tiled toobtain them; thisfactis tooobviousto leet with successful contradiction in this age f intelligence. It cannot be expected that eo great a revliition is so soon to be made in the political orld, the tide of public opinión has got to jy s stemmed, public sentiment and public oinion has got to undergo an entire charge and lis must be done, hy speaking, and writing -in fine the subject must be kept constantly i agitation - be kept constantly before the ïople. Time on!y can bring about the groal jject which we as a party have in view - the eedom of the oppressed of our much
