FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1913.
NORTHERN DOUGHFACES.

We have, from time to time, presented
our readers such proofs of the trucking and
servle spirit of the Northern Locofocos as
must convince every ono that these high
spirited patriots are ready at any time TO
sacrifice the rights and interests of the Free
States in obedience to the dictation of
Southern slave-drivers. We have now an
other and most infamous example of craven
and cowardy servity, to which we ask the
serious attention of every Vermonter who
has the spirit of a freeman within him. We
allude to vote which was taken in the
House of Representatives on Monday of last
week, of which the following account is given
in the Albany Evening Journal. cit will
be remembered that on the Friday previous,
Mr.. Winthrop from the Committee on Com
merce, made report to the Heuse in refer
ence to numerous petitions presented by
Northern shipping merchants, complaining
ofthe wrong and oppression to which coored
seamen in their employ were subjected in
many of the Southern ports. This wrong
consists in the practice Of arrcsting and i'm
prisoning all free colored seamen found on
board any vessels coming into the harbors of
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, &C., and
keeping them in close confinement until the
vessels to which they belonged were ready
to depart, subject, if the Captain refused to
pay all chatges, to be sold into slarery.-
This crying outrage against justice, against
humanity, against liberty itself, was rebulled
as it deserved to be in Mr., Winthrops report.
The House by large majority directed
the printing of 5000 extra copies of this
document, and there the question rested I'M
til Monday. On that daya motion to re-
condsder the lorder to print was made and
carried, and then, in order to smother the
subject eifectually, Mr.. Wise moved to lag
the question Of printing on the table. This
motion, which in all probability disposes of
the matter for the session, was decided in
the affirmative by the following vote:

A glance at the above vote will satisfy the
reader, if indeed he had any previous doub,
of the fact, that the Northern Locofocos
with one or two honorable exceptions, voted
age, while the Norteern Wings, withost an
exception, voted no.
TEN honorable Representatives from this
State, whose names are ialieised in the
above list, gave their voices for suppressing
Mr.. Winthrop's report. We ask the con-
stituents of these recreant members to hold
them is a strict account for this base dere.
LECTION of duty. We appeal to the people Of
the whole State to visit with their heaviest
censure the trucking and time.serving Re-
representatives. who have been parties to this
shameful betrayal Of Northern rights"
