laIirn 10 slavery.
Ia answer, | shall give you such views as !
have for yeals entertained end expressed.
To your first question, | reply in the afhrma-
tive understanding that you have no reference
TO the action of Congress u3nn slavery in the
States nor can | conceive of a man, born upon
cur Green mountains, and breathing the pure air
OF Vermont, who for a moment can hesitate 10
say he abhors slavery in all its forms ard under
all ances, and who would not deSilt
that all meu should Ia. free.
also answer your second q~Icstion in the af
fTmat We, adding. that if there are, as il is asser-
ted ny some, any implied or honorary obligations
on the part of the United States, towards Vir
gina and Maryland, not TO abolish slavery
in the District Of Columbia without the consent
of these States then it is the duty of Congress Il
obtain consent, or, failing 10 do so al once 10 re
move the seat of government.
Toyour last question. | reply that l should
most certainly lave approved such law.

S. FAIR.

There will be a Fair, for the sale of a great
variety of fancy. ornamental and useful articles,
opened in the Brick building, first door South Of
the Post Office, IN this ralage, on Wednesday the
18th inst. Commencement day. The doors
will be opened at 8 o'clock A. NJ. and the sales
will continue through the day.
This Fair is holden under circumstances
which commend themselves to the sympathy
and benevole nee of the community. A large
assortment of articles will be offered for sale, the
whole of which, with but very few exceptions,
have been designed and made BY a lady Of this
village, within the last three years, while she has
been confined to her bed by a painful disease
which has prevented her from sitting in an up
right position for a moment Under such dit
ficulites she has performed an amount of labor
almost incredible, as every one will admit who
will call and inspect the number, design and
workmanship of the articles to be sold. Who,
thin, will not be generous hearted enough to
aid and encourage the efforts Of an industry SO
untiriug and a forlitude so heroic? To permit
articles made under such circumstances 10 re
main unpurchased, would betoken a penurious-
ness and selfshness in the community, unknown
to the open hearts and liberal hands of the sons
and daughters of the Green Mountains.
Come, then, 10 the Fair! Come one and all
old and ~youug-grave and gay-married and
unmarried--parents with their childreu-hus-
bands with iheir wives-widowers with the
widowed-beaur with the beLe's-and lovers
with the ones beloved. Come and buy Of the
beautiful assortment before you, such thing, as
fancy, ability or the wishes of the fair one be-
side you, may select and think, while you part
with the g%littering pelf for your own interest and
enjoyment, how lquietly and unostentatiously
you pou: assistance into the lap of s~fliction and
requite the labors of long and solitary hours Of
Confinement and pain.
Refreshments will be furnished during the day
and a Post Office will be kept open, for the
benefit of visitors, at which there will be a con-
slant arrival Of males.

A large and respectable audience attended
the commencement exercises, which were
HIGHLY satisfactory.-Boston Advertiser.

PANE TIckET.-In Addison County, w
doubt not, Charles Paine and Waltstlll X.
Rannev, will concentrate most of the wing
strength. We hope our abolition friends, con-
templating the immense evils of a divided
vote, will cordially sustain a ticket upon which
is placed the name of Waitstill r. Ranney,
who has ever been an unwavering and consls-
tent advocate for the freedom ofthe slave
The fruits of q long and arduous struggle Tor
reform should not be lost by collision about
the Governor of the state. Compromise has
ever beer the order of the day from the CON-
mencement of the government. The middle
ground is for Charles Paine and Waitstill X.
Rannay. Indeed, after perusing the letter
from Col Paine to the Burlington people, upon
which we have just cast our eye, few abolition
lists can object to Col Paine, upon the ground
that his sentiments upon the agitated subject
are not sufficiently liberal. He stops short of
nothing but the power of the constitution, be-
fore which every man in the Union should bow
in perfect submission. Read the following
correspondence:
Burlington, July 10, 1s4l.
Sir.-It having been settled by general acqui-
escence that the clector has a right tninIerrogate
the candidate for office upon all questions which
are involved in his election, we take the liberty
in the exercise of this right, Of addressing you
upon a subject in which we ourselves. in com.
mon with very many of the freemen Of Vermont,
feel a deep and powerful interest.
That subject is Slavery. and for the purpose Of
ascerIaining your views upon it, we propose the
following questions as involving those princi-
pies which We deem of vital importance.
Do ynu believe that Slavery is a great moral
wrong, a stain upon our national escutcheon, a
disgrace 10 humanity, which ought 10 be imme-
diately corrected by emancipation
DO vcu believe Thai congress possesses the
power hy the Constitution TO abolish Slavery in
the District of Columbia and in The Territories
of the United States. and ifso, do you believe
they ought to do it?
Would you have approved the law, passed al
the last session OF our Legislature. giving TO iugi
tive slaves the right of trial by Jury, had jyou
been Executive of that State?
By answering these questions with that frank
ness and candor which We believe 10 be con-
genial with your character, ynu will much obligc
your fe low citizens.
