dldates for election to Congress. 1t seems
10 me to be of vast importance in the com
ing election of members TO Congress, that
the candidates be required to pledge that,
in case they are elected, and in case the
election of President goes into the House
Of Representatives, they will go against
the election of slaveholCer, or one who
is in favor of the continuance of slavery.
The strong probability is,thaIthe next Pres
idept Of the U. States will not be elected by
the people. Should this be the case, it
seems to be of more importance, if posi-
Bile, in the present case than any period
of late years, that good men and rue
represent the Green Mountain State in the
next Congress. Let those be elected who
will carry the spirit of Harrington with
them, and will be ready TO meet slavery
wherever it presents itself. VIII Yer.
monters ever rest at ease, while slavery is
proving about the country, committing
its depredations on everything that is
good-giving the main power of the ma
ton into the hands of those who despoil
their fellow men OF all that is worth liv-
ing for? What say yo1, candidates Of
the several Congressional Districts ? Are
you ready and willing 10 tell your con-
stiuenls, and the lreemen Of the State,
what you think about using your indO-
ence against slavery, and how that in1u-
ence ought 10 be used! The columns Of
the Voice are at your service, and I would
gladly see them occupied soon with your
views.
And while | am on tie questioning
business, will ask Aaron Angler what
his views are in regard to the proprietv of
uniling the civil with the clerical Office
You know, brolheh that the office of
Gospel preacher is generally considered
a holy office, and that no one has right
TO give his views Of the Bible, in the ca
pacity of a teacher, unless he has license
from his fellow men, and is set apart for
that special purpose. Now what / want
10 know is, whether you think your H.
cerse as a Gospel preacher in che hand,
and your credentials as Lieut.. Governor,
or perhaps that Of Commander in Chief
OF the Militia Of the State, ia the Other,
will be proper companions? Please give
your views soon, and you will much

Mr. Editor:--h has been said by some
that the lectures Of reformed drunkards Vi
which have been qlite frequent for year
or two past among US, have done the
cause OF Temperance no good, but have
done it an injury. This is the opinion Of
very many of our citizans who stund in
| high places, and who would wish TO have
their opinions regarded. They say that
those who 90 about Iecturing, calling
themselves reformed drunkardS, are ilil.

lnstructing an audience and that they
only occasion an excitement which lasts
but a short time, and leaves 20 good i'm.

AwfuI Tragedy :--A Slave Murdered:
Mr.. EDITOR:
ln conversation vi b a gentleman from
Petersburg, Virginia, he gave me The fol-
lowing account, with request tia his
name should be wilhhelu:
A Mr.. Minlree (masler mason,) of
l'etersbIrg, bad in his employ slave
man belonging 10 Mr.. Haslnburg. The
poor slave had been in the hab of run
ming Oft: he was told by Mulrce that if
he ever ran away from him that he would
KILL him. 1t was not long before the
slave took ii into his head to run of, and,
II possible, set to the FREE States he
was, however, Ovprtaken by The MAINLY
ENAs, and returned 10 his employee.
Mnlree tied him down in his barn, oro-
vIded himself with THREE new cowhldes,
and gave him about FIGHT hundled lash
esl He washed the suiftIing victim in
sail and water afterwards gave the POOR
fellow sYRI%GE OF CAYENE PEPPER III
and released him. Soon after bis release,
be went TO pond of water (such as his
thirst from the effects Of the syringe of
cayene pepper and drank nearly half
gallon of waer. Mintree, not satisfied
with the tortores already inflicted upon
his victim, secured him again, and hogced
him uIl the poor fellow became SenseIess.
lie died in about two hours after Min
tree threw the dead body in the yard that
nigh, and in the morning, put it in Il box,
an buried It.
Mr. Hasinburg having heard of TO-
nominious death Of his slave, lad the cru
ell monster arrested. The civl authorities
had the body disn'err,d, and held an in
quest, assisted BY several physicians, who
held post mortem examination over the
body. Verdict of HE jury that The slave
came to his death by the hands OF Mini
tree, his employer. He is now being
.red Tor wifuI murder.
This awIul event took place about The
last OF June. ] am informed by Inc gen.
Ieman that none Of the papers in Peters
burg published or noticed the affair.
