10 Maine, for two years has more than supplied
itself with bread stuffs. But Vermont in the same
period has expended thousands of dollars for grain
the production of other states. To the people
of Vermont, it is an important question, how and
in what manner the productions of the State may
be increased SO as to meet the demand for home
consumption. Can our friend, Henry Steoens, Esq.
tell them, before seed time, this year? If he can
much ''solid coin" will be retained in the State

tons in Maine:

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION-THE WINGS
VICTORIOUS

This little State has again declared for Demo.
cratic Wing principles. In view of local divisions
a different result feared. An entire Wing
Senate, and large majority of the House, from Ia
to twenty, have been elcted by the Wings; but in
consequence of there being two Wing candidates
for Governor no choice has been made for that Of
fee. Mr. Sprague, the present incumbent, fails of
an election by about liz votes Bullock the
Administration candidate, Sprague the regular wing
candidate, and Tristram Burgess, the liberal
ddate. The vote stands, two or three towns
not heard from, for spraGue; 92al-Rnrsees Ao5
Bullock. 1913. The united votes of Sprague and
Burgess, which is the true Wing strength, amounts
to 1856; Van Buren, vote 1918; Wing majority in
the State, 1873. The Senior Senator will be by law
the acting Governor. The cause of the division
the license law. Three cheers for "little
Rhody:"
The Providence Journal remarks:
The entire Wing Senate is elected, and probably
the Wing Lit. Governor, and we shall have an over
wheIming majority in the House. Owing TO un.
fortunate dlsunon g1 the Wings upon purely
local questions there has been election of Gov
but the result shows that Rhode Island is still
to her principles, and that Loco Focoism finds
no quarter in the land of Greene and of Perry
Rhode Island stands pledged to return two Wing
Representatives to the next Congress-, and that
pledge she will fully redeem.

Col. JOHN TRUMBULL--who commended by the side
of Washington during nearly the whole of the Rev

polls by upstart petty office holder under Martin
Van Buren, Such spirit would even hunt down
Washington, were he yet alive. Col Trumbu
had been freeman of the state than SO years;
but his old Wing principles rendered him obnoxious
to this scavenger Of our Tory President. But he
who had faced the Tories in 76-who had assisted
in driving them with their British allies into dis

with its stars and stripes upon many warmly con-
tested fields did not quail before this tool of :yran-

of principles, in keeping alive the fires of freedom
at whose affairs they sacrificed the vigor of youth

We commend to our Alabama friend the annex

abolition, by DR.. Channing of Boston, from which
we intend 10 make mo-e liberal extracts hereaf
ter :
"Mr Clay insists that the stakeholder has right
of full com ensation from those who call on him to
surrender his slaves. utterly deny such right
in man who surrenders what is not his own. 1
cheerfully acknowledge however, that whilst in
strict Justice, the Shareholder has no indemnity, he
has title to sympathy and equitable consideration
man, who, by conscientious and honorable re-
nquishment of what he discovers to be anothers s,
makes himself comparatively poor, deserves respect
and liberal aid. There few at the north who
would oyflly acquiesce in the plan of that dis
tingushed statesman, Rufus King, for large APP
preparations cf the public land to the indemnifying
Of sufferers under act Of universal abolition.
"It is believed, however, that compensation,
even on the most liberal scale, would not be a
great amount;-for the planters, in general would
suffer little, if at all, from emancipation. This
change would make them richer rather than poor

language the subject, that the negroes were to
be annihiIated by being set free that the whole la

A SOUTHERN MODE OF ABoLIsHlNG SLAVERY
We received last week the following letter, from
Francis Tufts, Esq. p. nj. at Brownsville, Alaba-
ma, which, in style and spirit, is so far superior
to many upon the same subject, from Southern men,
that feel no inclination 10 refuse to publish il
as requested. The writer has started new idea
in reference to abolition-"take them Ohe slaves)
home and marry them to your sons and daughters ;"
Should this be done Mr. p. M. what would become
of your rice, cane and cotton felds9-who would
WELD the impliments Of husbandry? Would those
who now usurp the authority of masters throw OFT
their beavers and fine clothes, and perform manual
labor' No-indeed, they would not. No-your
fields would be stricken with the desolation of Sod
om;-the breath of sirocco would pass over your
palmetto cline, leaving nought but poverty and
the wreck of death in its pathway. You need the
colored man to cultivate your soil, He alone, by
his peculiar hysical capabilities, is able to endure
the fatgues and exposures of rural life, in your
climate. Free him, and pay him for his labor, and
your land will abound with plenty and peace
"Our property''-the slaves sour property" Who
made them your property? Who gave you title to
the immortal spirits of men All, who? Ii is said
of a Vermont Judge, that when man appeared
before him with alleged claim upon the soul
and body of black man, he inquired of the claim
ant if he could producesa bill of sale from the AL
mighty to support his claim. This the negro hun
ter did not misunderstood But to the letter:
BLoUNTsvILLE, April 3, 1889.
DEAR SIR--Havng seen the result ola meeting
of an anti-slavcry convention held at Mddlebury
in your State reminds me ofthe propriety of your
saying to the members Of said convention and all
others of the like faith, that slaves are all for
sale, and If they are so anxious for their freedom
they obtain their object by sending agent
with the cash and purchase them, take them home,
marry them to their and daughters, they
may wish. This is than they would
wish should we attempt to deprive them of
their property. If some ofyour papers would make
the like propositions to them perhaps it would have
good effect on those devoid of sense of JUS
tice and religion. Respectfully Yours,
