disgrace. Look at the three worthy gaggers,
Pinckney, Patton, and Anterior, triumvirate of
poor creatures, whose names will pollute every
page of history, where their inefaceable actions
shall be recorded.
The Anterior resolutions, in the House of Rep
resentatives for December, 1885, are better for the
cause OF abolition, as a moral capital with which
to assail slavery, than an hundred thousand dol
lars to be employed in books and agents TO en-
tighten the public mind. These resolutions show
US the real character of shareholders, who are will
ling to sacrifice their country, its constitution, the
right OF petition, yea more than dissolve the I'm
ion, to destroy the Mon, and make slaves of the
white men, as we'll as colored. This will not last
long. There is great crisis fastening to an ex-
plosion. Our friends are determined to pile upon
the table of Congress the to-be-unread- and-uncon-
sdered petitions for the slave, and see how our
state Legislature will act in behalf of human liber-
ty on the petitions to be presented. Every thing
from every quarter, is full of encouragement the
prospects of the slave were never SO Aattering as
at this very hour. All we have done yet, has
been in this great school of human benevolence,
10 learn the rudments of human rights, disabuse
the mind of ten thousand errors in relation TO
man, religion, law, and political rights. By the
time the year 1910 shall have ended, believe we
shall satisfy our opponents that we shall wage a
war against oppression in this land, which shall
not terminate until the slave is freeman.

the oppressed,

THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
MONTPELIER, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1889.
Vermont Anti-Slavery Society.

The annual meeting at Middleb9ry last week
was emphatically good one. In defiance of bad
travelling, goodly number of delegates and vol
uneers were on the spot in season for the prelim,
mary meeting on Tuesday evening. The dele
gates from Waitsfeld we were told, performed
their journey on foot. If they took Lincoln noun
tain in their way, they must have thought of Bun
vans hill Difficulty by the time they reached its
snow-clad summit. But to the meeting.
At the appointed hour, the large Methodist
Chapel was we'll filled. On entering, it was graf
flying to recognize the stern countenance Of Or
ange Scott in the desk. After an impressive pray
err by Rev. Mr.. Shaw, the audience were enter
tanned with chaste well-timed and eloquent ad-
dress, not from one who had fought with beasts at
Ephesus, but who seemed to possess much of his
spirit and who stood up so nobly for the right be-
fore the Methodist General Conference at Cincin-
natl The marked attention of the audience for
nearly two hours, unbroken save by the hearty
amen of one and another, whose heart too
full for silence, left no room to doubt that the i'm
preston was most sanitary.
The annual report of the Executive Committee,
written by E. D. Barber Esq. was submitted on
Tuesday. 1t is characterized by the signal ability
of its author, and presents an encouraging review
of the progress of the cause the past year. The
Anterior gag resolutions are discussed at length
and shown up becoming manner. One thous-
and copies of he report to be printed in pamph
let form.
The Executive Committee have exercised a Wig
liant supervision over the interests of the cause
throughout the year, having held meetings regu
Rowland T. Robinson,w regret to say, was not
able to attend the anniversary by reason of ill
health.
Wednesday afternoon and evening, and the
whole of Thursday were taken up in free and
full discussion of the resolutions presented through
the business committee. That relating to the po-
litca duties and responsibilities of abolitionists was
discussed at great length, pro and CON- and finally
adopted by rising vote, only two or three of the
whole body dissenting.
When the subject of funds came up, great
was manifested About fifteen hun
dred dollars were pledged in few minutes. One
delegate from Franklin county paid fifty dollars on
the nail'-another from Washington county, twen-
ty-fvo Among the contributions sent in was
string of gold beads, from Mrs. Stewart of West
ford, the mother of Alvan Stewart Esq.
The meetings were held alternately in the Meth
odist Baptist and Congregational Churches. The
of the inhabitants of Middlebury was
large, and ample provision was made
for the entertainment of the delegates.

Consistency of Shareholders.

Returning in the steamboat sandusky from Detroit to
Buffalo, came in with loud staggering Alaba-
stakeholder, formerly of Genessee Co. N. Y owe
the North forsooth have nothing do with slaveryD He
rating the aboonsts stupid bockheads for pre-
tending they dare the South and there utter their
sentiments He loudly assured that it fase for any
aboionist how natica might go the South
and what he pleased without the least moestaon
OF knew better, cited him of Dres-
SER Hopper and others: but these in his estimation were
all anti-slayery lies. In the of discussion,
took occasion tell him frankly every aboonst
will love do such occasions, what thought of slavery
and slavehoding. The naughty souherner's anger
kinded in much heat he repeated, cit is well for you
sir that you do these sentiments the South If
had you there would fix you' In reply, merely
reminded him of the proposition he started WITH viz that
aboltonsts might say what they pleased the South
The shout of the bystanders reminded him his nconsis-
tency.
Having left the steamboat found myself board of
cana-boat with company of pro-slavery of the first
water All who have travelled great commercial thor
oughfares will have been surprised find them thronged
with Shareholders and their apologists. Having
ced discussion, of them boastingly assured that
he had brother STAKEHOLDER the far South, number
of whose slaves he had assisted him kdnap the North
and that he would like to engage in the profitable bu
sness again. His looks and character strongly
corroborated his statement. And yet at the North
have nothing to do with slavery, tho poor coored
brethren have been kidnapped by and hundreds
and that too by own people, their confession.
Soon AFTER board of another boat, fell in with sea
captain, whose native place was Weathersfed, Ct, if
mistake He frankly confessed that he had been cap
tain of SLAYER for many years. and had brought many
slaves this country As he appeared to be dying of the
consumption, kindly nquired-"My dear sir, have you
repented of that sin ," 'Repent! why
should " he replied, it ,cas larctuh" Just as con-
ssenty does the STAKEHOLDER reply, when urged to re-
pen of the sin of buying and selling and mbru
ting the image CT -'repent! why should /? it is law

considers the Indignation so prevalent in slave
holding countries as a natural one, ard conform

has no words of censure.
He winds up with declaration of his hostility
to slavery but alleges the necessity of the case as
the ground Of his hostility to emancipation, 'gradu-

account Of Satan's argume nt for injury to unof-

that emancipation will be safe and advantageous
both to the master and the slave.
He repeats the hacknied assertion, that the re-
cent efforts of the abolitonists have been the
cause of the laws which operate most severely on
the slaves, and forbid their being taught to READ

vers evidences that the condition OF the slave has
been ameliorated in consequence OF the attention
which abolitionsts have recently caused to be
turned to the subject Among other proofs, is the
most remarkable case which recently occurred in
South Carolina, of the infiction of the same pun
ishment on a white man for the murder of a black
one, as is inflicted on black for the murder of
white.
1t is proper to remark in conclusion, that two
reports of Mr.. Clays speech have been published,
and that these differ considerably. I have taken
small portion of my references from a report
published IN Baltimore paper; the remainder
from the National IntelIigencer.
