For the Voice of Freedom.

Mr.. Edlor:-We have had the pleas
nre OF listening to Anti.slavery addresses
for three evenings past in this pltce, deliv-
cred by Elder Allen of Whiting. The
first evening, the dlssimilari,y of Jewish
servitude and American Slavery was the
subject OF discussion, in which Bible ar
guments were timely applied against
Slavery. 1t may be thought BY some,
tha, this is going backward at this late
day; bu. as some champions Of the South
are attempting to sustain Slavery by the
Bib,e, and have said tina, 20 condemn all
Shareholders WI must of necessity "turn
Father Abraham out OF heaven" it was
thought best to set things right on this
poiat. The second evening, it was shown
thai Slavery was injurious aud unjust to
the slave; injurious TO the master and
family and injurious to the entire North.
In this discussion the cruelty Of Slavery
in compelling men 10 labor without re-
ward-subjec to scantv fare, and liable
to be torn from their families, and com.
PEELED to submit to acts Of wickedness, aud
doomed to Ignorance, were clearly spread
out before The people. That The master
and his family were Injured by slavery,
was evident from its tendency to corrupt
aud vicious ba5iIs, hardening the heart Of
all concerned aud especially the hears of
children; Injurious to me North, by en-
dangering the safety Of her sons when
travelling at the South, ard constantly
drawing money from our pockets and from
the government 10 the support Of slavery.
To prove these assertions, starting fIcts,
taken from the liberty :ract, were read
and spirited remarks made upon lhem.-
IL appeared that l3, O00. 900 slaves have
been emancIpated within IL years past
An extract of WIN. SHADES speech in
Congress was read =; the different laws
that had been passed prohibiting the slave
trade, and an account Of the fitting oul OF
ships SC, followed with appropriate re-
marks. The common objections TO Abo,
litiou were taken up in Turn aud answered
TO the satisfaction OF most Of those present.
The congregation was respectable for
numbers, and we believe the people in
general were glad of the opportunity to
hear on this subject. The cause of the
slave will be espoused heartily by some
at least, and | must say that the speaker
did, in my opinion, all he proposed TO do
and secured TO himself much honor.
Yours respectfully.

While all classes of community are

vet none are more prominent, or efitctuaI

the ~mpjeslic river, bearing in It's course
the impcrlections Of man. 1t is 10 the
mother hat we look for cur early and
most durable impressions. Her duty 1t
is, and may it ever be her pleasure, to
mould and fashion the young and tender
mind. She, in her maternal ~tondness, she

and paves the way for their future action +;

truths and precepts for their government
in after life.
Such is the province, and such the du-

LAWS OF VERMoNT.-It will be seen
by the laws published in this week S pa
per that the recommendations of the
Governor in relation to Slavery have
been acted upon, and that the fugitive
who chances to find his way, among our
hills is now safe. Constitutional scru-
Piles, which prevented the passage ofthis
law last year, have disappeared before
the advance of free principles and the
increasing light which dawns upon the
minds of freemen. Only 5 were found
to vote against this bill.
