We publish lo day in another part ofour paper a form of Petition to the Legisiature, for thè purpose of securing Equnl SufTrage to nll, irrespective of color. - We insert it to day because many ofour friends wish to have a petition to tüke to the polls with them ín the day of eleclion, as they can there see all the voters ofthetown without inconvenience. We hope the plan will be very generally adopted. Do not be afraid of any excitement it will produce. The people cannot have a more appropriate opic of discussion than theirown legislative tyranny. All the Liberty men will sign, o course. Every Whig willalso sign, unless he is a pro-slavery conservative. - The Whigs claim that they are "the true anti-slavery party - the party o "Progress and Reform," and liberality of opinions. Let their sincerity be testeí by asking ihem to sign this petition. - And do not pnss over the Democrats, who shout for "Equal Rights," and go against Toxation without Representation. Some of them will be found honest and consistent, and will sign the petition. Cut the petition from ihe paper anc paste it on to the top of half a sheet of paper. After obtaining as manysigners as possible, send it to some member of the Legislature who is favorable to the object, with a letter requesting him to present it, and advocate the measure. - Butdo not be in haste about sending till the town has been thoroughly canvasscd. When the petitions come before the Legislature, there ought to be the nnmes of ten thousand legnl voters to them! They cin be had. We shall soon take measures for a circulation of the petitions through every county and town.
