Look To The Future

It has been estimated ihnl 500,000 persons will vote fur President at this election for the first time. All of these will throw theïr influence, wbateverit moy be,in of great nd permanent interests. Tbose who vote for Polk, will ndvocate tho continuante of the bondöge of two and a half mülions of their countrymen, and tlie extensión of the curse over a new country, to be imposed on millions yet unborn. TJiose who support Mr. Clay will lubor for a National Bnnk, and for the conlinuance of National Slavcry four years more, and for the Annexation of Texas, wiih ils Slavery, Í pub lic opinión will permit. Those who vote for Mr. Birnpy will support Eqiial Political rights to all. They will vote for the Abolition of Slapery, the extensión of Human Freedom, and the elevation of man. These objects will ulrimately be accomplished ihroughout our nation. The lecsons of the past, the agilalions of the preken', and the progress of society, all indícate tliat the mass of men are yet to be enlightened and eïevated. Hovv soon Personal Liberty and Equal Rights sbalf prevail through our country, we know not. But there is èvery reason tö believe ihnt a considerable portion of the 500,000 who will vote for the first time for President at this election, will live to see thai day. At the end of Uventy-five or thirty years, when this object sha 11 have been consuminatea, and they sliall have enlered on the decline of life, it wili be a cheering considcrntion fo those of them who now give their first Presidential vote for Birney, ihat in tlip midst of contumely and reproach, they earlv espoused tíie cause of freedom, and from ye& to year were found faiihful to her banner# Bternly breating all opposilion, tlll her Ftnnd ard waved triumphantly over the whole lanrl. The memory of their past octs will be refreshing to the soul; and when they ceasethcir earlhly career, theirchildren will recount with pride the exertions of thcir honored falh ers for the hight-st inlerests of man, put forth cmid the scorn of the great, the sneers of the selfish, the npprehensions of the timoron:?, and the reviüngs of the proflígate. Thp 68me eiteem and venerafion will be manifested for theii charactersand memories which i? now awarded lo the héroes of the Revolution. The one class fought for the freedom of threp millions of Americana : the other iabor to deliver three millions more of Americana from a thrildom fnr worse tlian that of Bntain. It is tnie, onr weapons aro different; bnt ours, as well as theirs, wi'il be effectual for the putpose, whüe courage and resolution are requisite for bot Ii. We wonld ray then to erery unselfish and nob'e mindedyoong man.think of these tliingp. Look to the future as well as the preeent. - Caet jonr stiffroge so aa to make youreelf a permanent benefacfor to your country. We know Ihat lhe selfieh and interested care for none of these things. The man whose sole embition is to obtain an office - to become o constable or a justice, by sly political management- or to get a seat in the Legislature by the circuitous contrivances of party machine ry- will hvgh at aïï considerations addressed to phüanthropy and irue noblenes of soul.
