"Why Not Vote For Frelinghuysen?"

Liberty men ara sometimes osked thia uestion. If you know no eVil óf him, and have no object ions to his. cbaract.or, what good reason can you render why you shouJd not vote íbr him ? In reply o ihis questio, when candidly propouned, we would return thibllowing ansvor, which vro cut fcc.5; the Cir.cinr.ati ler&lc ;1. We cannot vote for Mr. Frelinghuysen, the subordínate, without voting for Mr. Clay, the principal ; but he is a duelist, a slaveholder, and a supporter of etemal slavery, and therefore guilty of a threefold Immorality, as well as of a violation of the laws of his country, and the principies of republicanism. 2. Mr. Frelinghuysen, by consenting torunupon the ticket with this distinguished man, virtually avers, that the 'act, that a candidate is guilty of a gross [mmorality, habitually a violator of the Laws of h3 Country and, the Principes of Republicanism, ought nottobe a bar to his elevation to the highest office n the gift of a Christian and Republican People. So radical and ruinous an error in Ethica and Politics, we cannot sanction. 3. The W hig party does not recognize the Principies, which we hold to be Fundamental, and refuses to regard the quesion of Liberty and Slavery, as a legitímate Political Question. Mr.luysen, as an honorable man, is bound to represent faithfully this Party, and to carry out its policy. For us to vote for uim, would be to admit the assumpf.on, that we are all wrong, and a party, which makes the Slavery question of no account is all right. We should virtually declare, that the questions concerning Banks, a Tariff and the Public Lands, were paramount to the great question which Iie3 behind and above them all. whether this Government shall be used for the protection of Human Rights and the extensión of the blessings of Liberty, or the subversión of Human Rights, and the extensión of the curses of Slavery. We cannot be guilty of any such inconsistency. These are our objections, stated with brevity, and with due respect for thosa of our fellow countrymen who think diiFerently, and for the candidates whom the} have selected. Their force may not now be acknowledged, but the time will come, when the principies they involve will be recognised as binding upon all good citizens.
