The Liberty Party of Philadelphia suggests nominations for an upcoming election. States the Party's principle as "opposition to slavery as the great moral and political evil of this land" and requests voters to consider the "continual encroachments of the slaveholding States upon the rights of the free States."
Circa dates are based on the years Francis Julius Lemoyne, an abolitionist, ran for Governor of Pennsylvania on the Liberty Party ticket.
