conceive more mean or rcprchensbIe practice,
than the very prevalent one Of OK ting ill-tcei-
ing between friends, by talobeaTing, m'5rcPrcsen-
ta,ion and lying. There are may individuals
whose chief delight, and whose chief calling
in life seom to be, to distract society, TO excite
dislrust, to bring about breaches Of friendship,
and tcuds and hatred.
We have known the warmest frIcntS, made
tho bitterest enemies by the distortions Of these
Intermediates. A dsjointed fragment OF a SER
tence, unaccomplnicG by the circumstance which
called it forth, or the humor in which it was
said may be made 10 bear the marks o.. unkind-
nc ss even ii spoken with the best feeling; and
an unkind insnuation from one whom we have
trusted as friend awakens the most painful
sensations-it siclIcns tho heart, aud turns to
sourncss and bitternc IS the cherished feelings Of
fonlnoss and respect and the supposed injury
often prompts us to speak with severity OF tho
friend who has been misrcprescnted. Our re-
marks are then heightened in color, and borne
back by the miSchie Emqkor, and thus are started
examinations and determinations, which lead
eventually to hatred, and cause thorns and this,
ties to spring up, whore all b eiore was flowers
and lovchness-thc dctestable crcatur who

Many of the nischieE makerS in question, not
withstandng they may hold place among the
respectable portion ofsocoty, arc addicted to the
practice of lying, and by mana ging never to
meet the friends they would separate, together
they escape without detection, until matters
have gone too far to be recalled, and their pur-
pose is thus effected.
But there is golden preventive for the blight
of the mischief ma.cr--one to which recourse
should always be had. Ifyou are tala that your
friend has spoken unkndy of you, Or has do>is

The liberty party Is composed Of mon whose
views upon Stnie and National policy very nearly
comedies with the Wings; and by Withdrawing
from the Wings they weaken the party with whose
views they accord, and thus indirectly aid party
whose views and policy are directly the reverse.
There are great and important questions that should
interest us--which Of vital importance TO the
welfare Of the country. Where is the man that

A NOVELTY.

| On Friday the 9Th inst. we had pleasing exhi-

village. The Pupils and Teachers Of our Common
Schools together with many parents, and ctirer
citizens of the village assembled there in the after
noon 10 greet each other, and congratulate each
other on the prosperous state OF our Schools. The
Teachers and Pupils Of the four primary Schools in
the District, assembled at the Chapel in Elliot
street, and accompanied by the School Committees,
and escorted by band Of music, marched thence
10 the grove, presenting very cheering and pleas
ant spectacle. Tables were prepared in the grove,
well loaded with caables for the children, and
namenlcd most tastrfully with beautiful flowers.
large concourse Of people were gathered together
10 gaze upon the sweet and innocent faces Of that
group of well dressed boys and girls The services
Of the occasion were opened by prayer from Rev.
Mr.. Walker after which addresses were made by
DR.. Rockwell, ID. Bradley, Esq and Rev. A.
Brown. The services were iutrrspcrscd by Music
from the Band, and several songs swcctly sung by
the children assisted by their Teachers and others

hearty relish. We have never witnessed any
gathering Of our people, where so much good feel

manifested. And we trust that our citizens are
now so well satisfied with our system Of Common
Schools, that they will exert all their influence,
not only to maintain them, but To improve them
still more, aud TO increase their influence and i'm

Ma. RrrTfER:--Your correspondent. "a
Housekeeper," IS getting rather hunbirdish,
and does moi appear to settle upon any plan.
First, il is recommended TO establish Public
Laundry, with steam engine, &C., thereby
depTiving quite a number of females Of liveli-
hood for some time TO come, but not satisfied
with this, it is thought advisable to start some
half a dozen more in opposition to the first,
and finally, that every woman in town might
set up one for herself. Now this last idea |
ihin's much the best, the very plan should
recommend myself.
Your correspondent gays, "Perhaps he
(meaning "A Mechanic,') would advocate the
adjustment of Grist Mills, that poor women
may find work in turning at The MILL" SC. |
would say that | should advocate no such doc
trine, but would advocate the adjustment Of
a kind OF mill used in many places for grinding
the face of the poor. Now, neighbor, do try
the plan ! suggested in my first, and if it does
not work well at first, oil up the machinery,
(or see on examination that you have some
that looks first rate,) oil il, say, with elbow
grease, and try il again, and will find some
one TO employ the poor women the whilst.

Ma. RrrHER:-The importance Of the com.
ing Wing Convention at Manchester, is Too
apparent TO need illustration or argument. All
the hopes Of the Wings must rest upon the
skill and patriotism and eiioris Of the next Con.
gress. The restoration Of National currcn.
cyS-the preservation Of our present Tarih.-ihe
distribution Of the proceeds Of The public lands,
afford field for labor and hope If harvest,
that must go home To the hearth and the heart
Of every intelligent freeman. But, sir, the time
for the holding Of that Convention is most uu-
propiiious, il being not only the hottest par, oil
the season, but in the midst of haying. The
aspect Of parties poriends a third ticket, and
the object and effect of that ticket will be 10
defeat the regular Wing nomination. With
a great amount Of talent and patriotism in our
candidates, no one has acquired that prcrmi-
hence which concentrates every eye, much less
secures every Wing vote.
Hence we fear, FIRST a thin Convention-then
q multitude OF candidates, each supported by
partisan and local prelerences-and lastly, The
disafiected sacrificing every northern right and
every Wing principle, every interest of the
slave, yea, every thing but the qualification Of
being leaders Of third party, will prevent an
election by Wing majority, and secure it to
the Locos by means ola plurality. Our hopes
have been high, but who can say that our fears
are moi without foundaiion' Sir, the only
remedy is with the people, and il they fail 10
apply il, they alone must suffer. The nomina-
ton at that Convention should be but the con-
centrated voice Of the freemen proclaimed by Of
least one delegate from every town in the dis
tricl: at least one delegate elected AMI instruct
ed ut meeting called for that purpose. and
where is the town that with such hopes and
such fears 10 prompt them to duty, will
fail TO be represented on such an occasoni-

tiop. NOW OR NEVER.

LARD Oh MANUFACTURES Pitts
burgh Gazette of Wednesday says -
This new branch Of business bids fair to
become one of vast importance to the west,
aud /! is thought by some, will soon be Sec
ond only to the manufacture of -four. Lard
Oil factories are springing up in most west
ern towns, and the oil of prairie whales
rapidly supersedng the productions of the
fatty monsters Of the deep. Mr. M. C. Ed
dy, on Sd street, who first commenced the
business in this city, now produces beau
tiiul oil, almost as clear as water, which
burns with great brlliapcy, and is devoid of
noxious smell and smoke. Instead of man
utactuTing stearine for candles, MI Eddy on
Iy extracts portion of oil from the lard and
converts the remainder into Refined Lard
for family use. This article is of the con-
slstency of well made butter, beautifully
white, and free from all impurities. 1t must
be fine article for pastry in the summer sea-
son. 1t is sold at the price of common lard.
We see it predicted in some of the papers
that our annual crop of nearly FIVE hundred
million bushels of corn, which can easily be
increased to one thousand millions, will soon,
in the shape of oil, refined lard, lard butter,
and stearine, be second only to cotton in
value, on the list Of American exports.

Tpr WIG STATE CONVENTION.

In our last weeks paper we gave some occount
of the Convention lately held at Rutland. We
subioin below the Resolutions which were passed
at the Convention which will attract the especial
attention of our readers as embodyng in iorcbe
language the principles Of the Wings OF Vermont,
and as setting forth the objects at which they aim.
The Resolutions relating TO Slavery and the An
nexation of Texas to the Union, must find a ready
response in the heart Of every true screen Moun-
tain Boy" Of whatever party. The "most Cypress
i've evil and most monsrous and disgraceful wrong
of slavery ought 10 awaken every Northern man,
every free man, every lover Of liberty and his
country, 10 a true sense of the danger which it
threatens to the union of these States, and the
welfare of our common country And we hope
the Wings Of Vermont will, at the ballot box,
prove true and faithful to the principles which they
have published in the Resolutions referred TO. Let
the free and independent Wings of Vermont never
tarnish their good name, never prove recrennt TO
their principles, by giving their votes TO any man
for on office in National Government, who is
not known 10 cherish ike principles, and who will
not faithfully and honestly exert his influence TO
have them carried into practice. Principles uttered
on paper will have but little effect unless consist
emily applied in praclice Let the Wings Of Yer
mont faithfully apply the doctrines they have SET
forth in regard TO Slavery, and they may reckon
on success with great degree of certainty The
people Of Vermont viii never consent TO bow
their nccks in any shape 10 the demon OF Southern
Slavery. And should they find any Of their public
servants lost TO the true spirit Of Liberty, 10
favor by word act the enormous wrong Of Savety,
they would dismiss him unworthy the
sacred trust reposcd in him. And while the Loco
Foco party at the North continue their uuholy
alliance with the Slave holders Of the South, we
have fear that they will meet with much favor
from those who have been born and nuriured on
our rugged mountains, and breuthcd our free air.
