Review Of The Liberty Party.--Continued: Massachusetts

The popnlation of thig State n 1340, was '39,699. The whole number of votes given or President was 126,233, of which Harrison cceived 72,874, Van Buren, 51,944, Birney, ,415. The Liberty vote Was one in 00 of he whole. In 1841, it was 3,722, in 1842, it vas 6,422, in 1843, it was 9,000) or one in 13 f the whole. At the lastelection, the Demïcrats lost a great nombeí of town?; and the Srriancipator assures us that the strength of hat party in the State is completely b roken, nd they cannot hencefortb have any rationa! lopea of regaining the ascendancy. Al! the ?xperience aJso seems to show that there is a luinerica] Whig superiority in theSlale. As all the Slöte officers, Legislntors and nembers of Congress, must be elected by a unjority of the whole, many towns and die - ricts have been left vacant for a seaeon since he Liberty party commcnced, and repeated nd obstinate trials have. been The dificulty in elections will, of course increase riore and more, uniilthe three parties shall e merged in two. There is no prospect hat (he Electors of President of any party vill receive a msijority ot the next election, nd if Hot, they will be appoinied by the Leg-, slature, which ijas a Whig majority. Henee Ylassachusetts is aJrnost certain for Henry ülay. Thecolored population of th is State is not arge, being only 8,663. There has been no Stavery in this State 6Ínce 1730, and colored :itizens hsve been posseísed of the electivo ran.chise for half a century, without the least njury or inconvenieuce to any one. We beleve, there are no distinctions made by the Jtalute Book on account of color, unless it ie a prohibition to be enrolled in the Müitia. Dne of the last acta of justice to the race was he erasureof the act forbidding the intermariage ofwhites and blacks. The abolition of his was contesled for some ten succeesive years. Every kind of sarcasm, rifiicule, and vilification of the motives of the petitioners was resorted to, but they held to their purpose, and triumpbed, fts the persevering in 9uch cases always will. The Abolilionists ïn this Sfale are divided nto two classes, quite unlike each other, cnownas the Liberty party and Oíd Organizationists. The organ of the latter party is the Liberator, edited bj W. L. Garrieon, a gentleman not unknown to fame. This paper was commenced on a small scale, about eleven or twelve years smee, by Garrison nnd a féllow printer. Througli thcir int'uslry and perseverance, it soon attaincd a permanent footing, and became obnoxious to the nrislocrats for its bitter and unspanng philippics agaïp.st every kind of pro-s3avery. ït was tbja wrcich eecured Garrison the honor of being led about the streets of Boston with a rope around his neck, and thrust into jai! for safe keeping. Mr.Garrison's theoloical opinions also rendered him dietrusted by the religious part of community. Garrison now controla the L'.berator entirely, and edite it with uncommoD ability. We have read it many yeare, and have rarely fonnd a poor aiticle in t. We are very far, however, fromapproving all its doctrines or vindicating the spirit n which they are sometimes uttered. The Liberator is now the champion of nn immediate dtssololion of the U.iion- of the abolition of the-Sabbflth, as a sacred day- of the abolition of the Ministry, as a peculiar order of men - of the disbanding of the Churches -of the abolition of Capital Punishment - of the demolition of all Human Governments, eo far as they are founded on compulsión - and of Non-Resistance to injuriesa as a Christian diity. Henee, Garrison refuses to vote, and thinks the time will soon come when voting will be accounted a ein by all good men. These varioñs projects are advocated with all the tenacity of an enthusiast, and with the most liberal use óf pungent and irritating epithets that our language can supply. Mr. Garrison bas pursued 8 furious war upon the Liberty party for several years, but with very little,,apptirent success. Yet he is represented to be mild and gentlemanly in pri vate life, and of unexceptionable moráis. In the meetings "of the Garrisonian Aboli tionists, men and women cqually particípale St femóles oflen preside and actas Secretarie and Commiltee-men. They have held mee ings in every p8rt of the State, and we thin have done very much tovvards abohtionizin the State: for the nunnber of Liberfy votea i Massachusotts, is not the only index of th anti-slavery feeling of the whole cornmunity. The general enthusiasm for the rescue oi Latimer - the unanimous passoge oí the Mas sachubetts resohitions against Slave Represen tation, twice pronounced, the support of thos resolutions by every member of Congress fron the State, and the rejection of John Dav for Vice President, by the Nat ional Whi Convention, in reality, because he is a Massa chnsetts ni8n, are equally strong indication of the love of anti slavery feeling- a feelin to which the labors of Garrison and his co-ai jutors have not a U'tüe contribuí ed.ThcFe are two pnpeis of the Liberty party ublished in tlie Siatethe Essex Transcript nd the Emaiicipator and Ohronicle. The rat is publiahed al Salisbury, and is a spiríted nd interest ing paper. The Chronicle is loated at Boston, and is published daily and ■eekly. It has a weekly circulation of 5,000. Rev. Joshü3 Leavilt is Editor. Of him we eed say nothing to our readers, as they have ften seen euch produclions from his pen, os ave commended thetnselves. We will jast ïentton, hoivever, to correct the misappre ension of soine, that, as we are informed, Ir. Lavitt was nevel a "Loco," in any ense of the word, but was formerly a'Whig. s are stil] the greater part of his Presbytelan brethren. He waö Editor of the New 'ork Evangelist for several years. The Christian Citizen, published at VVor ester, also advocates Liberty principies. It s edited by Elihu Burritt, well kaown ns the Learned Blaekstnith." Rev. John Pierpont, the Unitarian Minister f Boston, and the Poet and fine writer, is an dvocate of the Liberty party. So also is ohn G. VVhittier, the Quaker Poet, whose oul-stirring productipns have secured him a ame among our country's best writere. The prospects of the Liberty party in this State are highly encouraging. They have ne raember in tho State Senate} and several n tbe House, some eix or eigbt, we believe, nd in a very large number oftowns there was o chotee. The difficulty of electons since the Liberty party was organized, as been steadily increasing: und it takes ery HttJe sagacity to perceive that if it coninues to sugment, one of three things must ake place: no cfficers will be elected, the ther porties must combine, or the Constituon must be altered sq tbat a plurality can lect. The Liberty cause can flourish in eithr case. Should the Liberty vote progrese in ie same broportion that it has done, the tate will be carried in about four years. RHODE ISLAND. The popnlation of this State in 1840, was 08,837, being the smallest in the Union, exept Delaware. The whole State is only ouble the size of Washlenaw County. But is probably the richest State in the Union ccord'ngr to itesrze aad populalion. No Liberty parrty has been organized in this tale. Bnt 42 votes were given fór Birney n 1840. Immediately subseqnent tothat, the oubles commenced in reference to the adopton cf the Conslitution, in which all classes ' peop!e were deeply excited and engrossed, nd no organization has baen perfected. - o wever, liberal principies have steadpy adanced in the State. A Constitution bas been dopted in the place of the Charter of Charles ie Second, granted in 1663. The old proprty qualification8 of that instrument, by which one could vote but a freeholder, or the oldest on of a freeholder, has given place to a ysem of soffrage without distinction of property r color. The Law and Order party, or those m jvor of the present Constitution, have a riumphant majoTily in the State, and Mr. )orr, the Governor elcct of the other party, s now on trial for treason. But it is probate that these old diffijrences will soon beorae antiquated and give place for new isues, among which we hope to see the princiles of the Liberty party distinctly brought to iew. But an indispensable pre-requisiteto its must be the establishment of a permanent jiberty paper. The whole vote of this State in 18403 was ,G21, being only one in thirteen of the popuation, while the proportion of votes in the ther New England States was twice as great. Of these, 5,728 were glven for Harrison, and 3,301 for Van Buren. This State is certain or Mr. Clay in 1844.CONNRCTICÜT. Population in 1840, 309,848, just 18,000 more tban Yermor.t. The whole numberof votes polled in 1340, was 57,071, of which 81,601 were gïven for Harrison and 25,296 for Van Buren, and 174 for Birney. The jiberty vote in 1841 was 1,319, in 1842, 1,777, irrl343, 1,872, in 1844, 1,971. The Liberty vote in 1840 was one in S27; in 1844, it was nbout one in 29. At the iast State elecion there was no choice of Governor by the jeople,. but Roger Baldwin, Whig, was cho6en by the Legishture. Connecticut was consklered debatable ground by both parties, and was thoroughly canvassed. The result shovved th at there was but little difference in he numérica] forcé of the two parties. Should he Liberty party i neren se at the coming election, there will probabJy be no choice of ülectors by the peopie, but they will be appointed by the Legislatnre, and of :ourse, the State will go for Mr. Clay. TJiough this State is somewhat in the rear of tlje other New England States, we trast t will not long remain bo, as jt has one of the best Liberty papers in the country, pubisihed at Hart tb rd by W. H. Burleigh . It s just struggling aloDg through those siraits of Life and Death, through which eTery Liberty publicación myst pass befo re il can arrive on the broad sea of Independence, anc take its place with the other craft, iully rig giil for its untried and ardous voyage. The Democratie representaron of th i State in Cungress has U6ually been of the servile kind, and but little is to be hoped from it. The present Whig Governor, Baldwin , i his late message to the Legielature, recom mended the removal of the restricti' ns whic tjow prohibit colored persons from voting, be cause such diatinetioBs were unjust lo th colored citizens, who were taxed equally wit others, and because Connecticut, in adherin, to this absurd restriction, was now in th rear of all the New England States. Gov. Baldwin also recommends a law pro hibiting all action of State ofiacers in thei official eapocity, in arresting alleged fugitive from service under the act of 1793. ö says that that acf, which confers authority o the inferior magistrafes ef a State, to deter ruine sumraarily, without jury and withou appea), the question of the freedom or elave ry of a human being, does not afford tha protection to the free whicli a dug regard t tho eafety of their colored citizens requires.These sentiments ore honorable to Gov. aldwin, and t is to be hoped they will meet vith a cordial response from botli partios in ie LegUlaturc. Our reuders will recollect ïai these are the precise points on which our egislature was petitioned last winter, and ne of which called out the 'overseetïslC report f Mr. Schoolcraft. Berbre we proceed any furthcr, Iet us fur a oment recapitúlate THE VOTE OF NEW EN6LAND. States.

L25 to 20,715. Allowing ie number of votes given at the last elections o be equal to those polied in 1840, we find jat every fiffeenth voterinNew England now )pports the Liberty ticket, whereas in 1840, ie average proportion was one in 298. The Liberty vote in New England has aout doubled annually thus far. A similar ate of increase will give the Liberty party a ajority in 1847. But. putting the rute at ne half as much, it will be attained in a very w yeare. We have been thus minute in our calcutions, because the other parties, being proud f their great nnmbers, and of their ability to se thousands of votes at once without feelg the loss, have mocked at our humble ains, as being insufficient to accomplish any ling. Like certain huathen characters menonad in Scripture, they taunüngly ask, What do these fëeble Jews?" Our answer found in the progress we have already made, nd in our rational prospecto for the future. 'nch of the difficulty of an extensive and ompücated undertaking lies in formïng a ju - cious plan, in overcoming the preliminnry jstacles, and in making the nction of the arieus and dissimilar parta to harmonise and ove in concert in prodneing a common reolt. In establishing the Liberty party, that fficulty has been overeóme. The common )ject has been agreed upon - organizations ave been perfected- publications permanent' establishtid at pointe of central influence, id the party has not only 'a local habitation nd a name," but is acknowledged as one of ie parties, and one, too, however email in s beginning, whose march is thus far steadiy onvvard. Since, then, we have thus far ucceeded so well in the prelirninary and most fficult stages of our enterprise, why may we ot rationally hope for rapid 6occess in future? frue, we may not doublé our vote annually, s we have hitherto done: for succese, in the ifferent States, in different years, will depend n many peculiar circumstances; but we may ope for a steady and unfailing annual inrease, and that will soon give us an infiuence jnt will be feit powerfully on our national overnment. There is one single consideraon to which we invite the attention of think ng men; on others it will have no efflct. t it this: The Liberty party is efièctually rgnnized; it has a definite object in view; it almost co-ex tensive with the Free States; has hitherto progressed at a rate which, if ontinued, will give it the ascendancy in theIVee States in four or five year6 inore. UneEs, therefore, there can be found eome radial defect in its origina] constitution, doee not ommon sense indícate that its progresa musí )e onward, eooner or later, to its final Irimph? We shall continue our review of the remaining States next week.CC?0 Afriend who has lately travelled iirough Jackson County, vrites us, May 6: "In several of the towns, as ín Jackson, Columbia, Spring Arbor, Concord, Leoni, and Grass Lake, the friends are considerably active - more so than in some other owns I visited. I formerly entertained he opinión that the anti-slavery men vere chiefly from the Whig ranks, but ecent observation has altered my roind on. this point Of late I have found many vho formerly belonged to the Locofoco or Democratie party, who have concluded hat the principies of the Liberty party are the true Democratie principies, the mnciples of '76 for which our fathers of the Revolution contended, and they have resolved to support them by precept, and by voting the Liberty ticket." 05 The correspondent of the N. Y. Courier wrote from Baltimoreon the day of the Convention: "Four of the Southern Delegations, 1 believe, are quite decided, and peihaps uncompromising against Davis, mainly on account of hts connection witli the JLatimer case." Of course they were. It is not to be supposed that the universal Whig Party would make a person President of the Senate who regards a fugitive slave as a free citizen. Irnpossible! All New England men,except the Athertons and Burkes may henceforth bid farewell to all hope of national preferment till the Slave Power shall be overthrown.
