The Wing party in this State, though not triumphant,

Those who this year have given their votes in sup

The energy and enthusiasm, with which the POst

crease the Wing strength by thousands, and We a'
confident that Connecticut will then cast her vOler

CONVENT AT CHARLEsTowN Massive learn
from the Boston papers that the Massachusetts
House Of Representatives, by vote of 204 to IS,
determined TO take action the matter of the do
struc on Of eUrslne Convent atCharlesw,on.-This
is it should be. There is no propriety in indeni-
ning Catholics for loss of property by mobs, while
no such indemnity is granted to professionals in similar
circumstances. In opinion, there ought to be
general law, in every State, assessing the damage
done by mobs to the counties in which such outbreaks
occur Such is the case, VIC believe, In Pennsylva

rights privileges which denied to all others, is
entirely rcpugnant to the spirit Of Institutions.

Far The Voice Of Freedom.

Mr.. Holcomb- Sri have been inform
ed that you are about 10 commence publish
ing The "Voice of Freedom" at Brandon.
As consider it of some Importance 10 my
self, and a good deal of importance TO this
community, to know what is TO be the char
acter OF your paper, you will permit me to
make few inquiries.
In relation to the subject of Slavery,
suppose, as matter of course, the Voice
viii occupy the same position which il has
done when published at Montpelier under
the direction Of Mr.. Burleigh and yourself.
What / wish particularly 10 enquire about
is, whether The voice is 10 be ercluSireiy
devoted 10 The subject of slavery, or wheh-
er it is ia part to be devoted to other sub
jects, aud il so, to what subjects. DO not
know nur our Anli-s avery friends would
choose to have the coigmns Of the Voice
entirely devoted to the slavery question; but
it seems TO me as though the paper would
be more useful, and carry with it more intlu-
matter, Of a religious or moral nature, should
find lis way into its columns. would by
no means have the slavery question nag
lected, that should be the first thing TO be
attended to; and if you admit The discuss
ion of other subjects, slavery, think, should
take the foremost rank. There are many
subjects besides slavery with which the
community is deeply concerned, such as
Christianity, Education, Temperance, Sa-
cred Music, &C., all which might, think,
be promoted BY your paper. This is my
opinion - leaving you 10 act as your own
judgment dictates.
! have one other inquiry, and that is,
whether you are willing to receive commu-
nications from time to time for your paper;
if so, should like to contribute.
Yours: &c. F.

A THRILLING SCENE.

Permit me to illustrate my views
of temperate drinking, by relating,
substantially thrilling scene which
occurred in town in a neighboring
State, where the people Were gather
ed together to discuss the merits of
the license question, and decide, in
formally, whether neighbors should
any longer be permitted to destroy
each other by vending alcoholic poi
sons
The town had suffered greatly
from the sale and use of intoxicating
liquors-the leading influences We're
Iopposed to total abstinence. At the
meeting, the clergyman, the deacon,
and the physician were present-and
all were in favor Of continuing the
custom OF license-all in favor Of
permitting a few men Of moral char
acter to sell alcohol, for they all
agreed in the opinion, that alcohol,
in moderation, when used as a bev-
teIage, was good creature Of Cod
and that to restrict its sale, or mod
crate use, was an unjust interference
with human liberty, and reflection
upon the benevolence of the AL
mighty-they all united in the belief
that in the use Of alcohol as a bever-
age. excess alone was to be avoided.
The feeling appeared to be all one
way, when single teetotaller who
was present by accident, but who
had been a former resident of the
town, begged leave to differ from he
speakers who had preceded him -
He entered into a history Of the vii
lage from its early settlement: he
called the attention of the assembly
to the desolation temperate drinking
had bro't upon families and individ-
uals he pointed to the poor house,
and the graveyard for its numerous
victims he urged the people by ev-
cry consideration Of mercy, to let
down the flood gates and prevent,
| if possible, the continued desolation
Of families by the moderate use of
alcohol. But all would not do; the
arguments of the clergyman, the
deacon, and the physician, backed
by the station, learning and influence,
were too much for the single tee-to-
taller. No one arose to continue the
discussion or support him and the
President of the meeting was about
to put the question, when all at once
there arose from the corner of the
room the miserable skeleton of fe-
male. She was thinly clad, and her
appearance indicated the utmost
wretchedness, and that her mortal
career was almost closed. After a
moment of silence, and all eyes be-
ing fixed upon her, she stretched her
attenuated body to its utmost height,
then her long arms to their greatest
length, and raising her voice to a
shrill pitch, she called upon them to
look upon her. Yes she said,
look upon me, and then hear me-
All that the last speaker has said rel
ative to temperate drinking, as be-
ing the father of all drunkenness is
true all practice, all experience de-
clare its truth all drinking Of alco-
holic poison as beverage, in health
is excess.

TEMPERANCE ODE.

BY REV. DAVID PEABoD
Whose heart can bleed DER human woe,
Whose hand can deal valorous blow
To lay the blood -gorged demon low,
That riots round the land?
Come ye aud take the solemn vow,-
Come, rally round the standard now,
And swear your necks shall never bow
Beneath his crmson'd hand!
Around him waits haggard train
Lust, Canine, Poverty, and Pain,
And Pestience and with the slain
They heap his troJdeu way.
He feasts on widows, orphans tears;
Their grolns are mHsic in his ears;
He riumphs in their trembling fears,
And laughs nj their dsmay!
But see,- like haunted beasts at bay,
Half ioiI'd he fIlters DER his prey -
For vengeful hosts are OIL their way,
All sworn to crush the foe.
Wake, generous youth, hand join to hand,
Join rank to rank,-nnd swell the band,
Aud to expel from all the land
The murderous Demon-go!
Full fired with zeal, let young aud old,
Grave, gay, the timid and the bold,
Go forth, and TO the world unfold,
The Temperance banner high;
Yes; let the nations strength unite,
And grid them for the holy fight
In arms Of heavenly temper bright
And the foul foe shall die.
