Never, IN the course of our brief edto-

VERMONT SYMPATHY.-The peopIe O
Vermont have the name Of being Sympa
thtsers, and it is title they may well bt
proud OF. 1t belongs only 10 subjects who
are incapable of feeling or comprehendinp
the heaven-born sentiment TO ridicule it
We wish now to test the principle in this
town, in this County, and throughout the
State. We wish 10 see what they will do
for VIM. L. Mackenzie Esq, once, the
honored and honorable Mayor of Toronto,
now inhabiting an AMERICAN DUN
GEON, because he loved Liberty more
than he feared the minions of a Queen.
Americans we appeal TO you,-has the
lore Of Liberty become a crime in this Re
public ? Did the Fathers of American In
dependence declare that " LIFE, LIBER-
TY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAP
PINES" were not 4" among the INALIEN-
ABLE Rights OF MANI" No ! WHY then
are the servants OF the nation allowed to
deviate at this early period from these
most essential principles of Republican
institutions, at time too when the ewes
oil all Europe is upon you, watching the
result OF that system OF Government which
they yet consider a mere experiment. If
arbitrary power instead of the will Of the
people is allowed to become the supreme
law OF tie land, what shall become of Free
dom ? If arbitrary power is allowed to
those who are entrusted with the execu-
ton OF your laws, how long will it be be-
lore arbitrary laws will be required to meet
the growing spirit Of absolutism. Look
Tor example, at the odious neutrality law
under color Of that law we have been rob.
bed and insulted. Protected by that law.
ofheers IN the interest of foreign power
have, to our certain knowledge, seized and
disposed of private property belonging to
American citizens. By authority Of that
law, uhohending individuals have been
dragged from their homes, their business.
and their suffering families to a dreary
prison.
The time was when an American Gene
raj could follow an enemy into the domin-
ions of nation with which the u. S. were
at peace, and there fight them, without
'ublectlng himself to imprisonment for a
breach OF neutrality; but now change of
policy alone makes it a criminal offence for

When Washington retired from the
Presidency, or when Jefferson took the
seat which he had nobIy resigned, hadiany
man told us, that we should live TO see men
OF this or any country or cline, tried and
condemned, in our country, as criminals
for fighting, or urging others to fight for
human freedom, and human rights, we
should have thought such man false
prophet. il not fool or mad man. We
did, it is true, see honest men imprisoned
for speaking the truth, under the Sediton
Law, during the elder Adams's adminislra-
ton. And we have now lived to see two
men, one a brave but unfortunate alien
and an exile, the other a feow-cilizen, of
whom we know nothing, tried, convicted
and imprisoned, for doing no more than
Kosciusko did, La Fayette did, Washing
ton did, and Warren, and some hundred

ancestors did Here is the record, which
