Again hnvc the friends of the enslaved met o adviáe with cach other upon best incans of rging forward the car of emancipiition, and o present for the .-juffrnge. of the people, the omes of 8uch persons as they deemed vorthy of the confidence of the Liberty ! nrty. ( TIip nnmber of ddpgates in attendanee at ( lime when our farmers were cmbarrassed ' with an unexpectrdJy early harvest, the de ' Tee of en'hnsiasm which prevuiled, mid above ! II. the perfect tiuaiiimity with whicli the ' ness ot the convent ion wns tranacted, are so nnny cheennir indicat!ons of wliat we may ' nticipateat the coming election. To every friend of Mr. Birney the circum tanees attending !iis nomination must be a ource of tinalloyed grafification. They show ' hut notwi 'hstanding' the miny ' loods, fcirgeries, and malicióos insinuations, o inlnstr'nusly circtilaled and urged against ' ïim by his very honest" opponents during hf late Presidentiul campaign, he is still uncaihed. Indoeü, the whole de!egnti.n seemed to eel, thiit independentïy of a spontaneons and iniversal atiaclunent to the mun and his principies, his nomination was essential to the! rindicátion of onr interity vs a party. The resnlt was, that neglecting theenstomcry forms, he was without n noto of dissent, ï one triumphant aye, made the representattive of our principies - our candidate for Governor. In him we hae a candidnte vvho i ab;pdanilv capable, and deeervedly popular with the party: not in the cnntphmseoi pohticians a "rap baron," nor yet a pensioner tipon the public bounty; bnt emphutically one of the people: in tlie strict sphíc of the word, a farmer: one who, lliough rich, sacrificed his property to hu principies, and those too, at the time, principies of the mosi anpopuiar kind: and one ulso who willbeara favorable cnmparUon for in'egrity and moral worth, with the best men of our country. Our political enemies have insinuated thnt Birney was "ued up," that we dare not renominate him; thus taunti us with wlmt they coiiceiveri and wished to bii the result of their own forgeries and lalsetioods. But the result must eaüsfy them that we can neither be coaed nor driven trom our posilion. Let every Liberty man who clüims to be thus fixed ui lus principies remeraber thul upoi) ihp succe.ss of thoso principies dependf the ,-!i!v:ition of our counlry; and that such succes must, to a arrnt extent, depend tipon our exertions as individuals.Every m;in can do sometliing by lecHirinr, or conversinj;: by aidinx the eircu'ation nf tlie SignKI; by cóhtr'ibutlrjg1 menns to pnstain lec lurers; hy indocili'g Ihers to turn out ;it tli electin; and lust but not lonst, by voimp liiin.-eif.
