VOICE OF FREEDOM.
Brandon, Thursday, November IA, 1874,
Proposals..

H As the time will soon expire for
which Champaign papers" were to be
sent, will now say to those who subscrib-
ed for them, that for all they will continue,
or persuade those who have thus taken,
to subscribe for, the Voice will be sent a
year for each dollar received StrictLv IN
GdUGnce. Those who are now subscrib.
ers, and will double their subscriptions,
shall receive two copies for the same one
year from the time receive the two dol
lars from them. The expense of type. set
ting and editing will be no more for ten
thousand than for five hundred copies. And
if the friends will double-tripIe, or quad :
ripple my present list, [ can do as well at
one dollar per copy, per year, strictly in
advance, as at the present rates. Will
friends in different towns, make an imme.
diate effort and see how many subscribers
they can obtain, to commence now or with
the coming year? Those who receive by
private conveyance, will understand that
they must pay the expense of transporta-
ton, and run the risk of getting the pa.
pers regularly. If ant'sIavery men will
bestir themselves few days in getting
subscribers to anti-slavery papers, it will
supersede 10 some extent the flood of 9th g.
err papers which are now taken.
Give me good lift in this way, and
will endeavor to give you an equivalent,
in the Voice Of Freedom.

Political Forgery.

1t appears that the forgery respecting
james G. Brney, was so self evident on
the face of it, that several Wing papers
clearly saw it, and refused to publish the
letter and afidavits, as genuine. Other
papers however, from less discernment, or
greater reckIessness sent the precious doc
ument, as it were on the wings ofthe wind
hoping to make great capital of it just at
this time. How far guilt should be attach
ed 10 those who palmed off that concoc;ion
remains 10 be seen. One thing appears
evident; which is, that somebody cousid-
cred it OF so much importance to the Wing
Party, to knock Mr. Birney in head, and
through his fall 10 rout the Liberty Party,
that no means could be found TOO foul TO
be adopted. do not copy the several ar
tices pertaining to this subject, fins week
for the purpose of affecting this election
1t is too late for that. Other elections
may be held, and the people of the north
should know what desperate games are
played for the sake Of party THIS act
must attach to the Wing party until the
several editors who have published the
thing named, as genuine, shall clear
their skirts by an investigation and relrac.
ton. II Mr. Birney has been guilty in
any respect, | for one am willing he
should suffer the odium justly attachable
to him. trust the Wings, Democrats
and Liberty men in the vicinity of Sagi'
nav will all take hold of The mater-give
it thorough sitting, and let we folks
down east have the result soon, that hon
or and disgrace may be placed where
they belong.

A Request.

H Those who take the Voice of Free.
dom by Mail, and wish to have any
change in the direction, or wish to have
the paper discontinued, are requested to
inform me through the Pos!masters of the
towns where the subscribers reside; and
those who take the paper by private con-
vtyarce may inform by returning pa,
per, with their name and place of resi-
dence written on it, directed 10 Voice Of
Freedom.
The occasion ofthe above request is,
that | have occasionally received letters
on business pertaining to the paper, with
postage charged me, where the Postmas-
Ter was authorised to give the Information
without expense TO either party. Another
request is, that those who discontinue, will

They had taken shelter on the root OF
their dwelling, when it was bodily lifted
and swept eway by the flood, and finally
landed at the hydraulics, nearly mile
and half from where it stood before the
storm. In this case we are told there
was large family Of children, all of
whom were providentally saved.
There were doubtless other instances
of a like kind, and large as the loss oflife
has been, the guiding care of Providence
s seen in the fact that comparatively so
many were preserved, large number
under circumstances Of the EXTREMIST
peril.
The Office ofMessrs. BibwelI & Ban
ia made a similar voyage across the Big
Buffalo Creek, bringing valuable
though less precious cargo, viz: their
iron safe. 1t was brought safely over
the creek, and dropped on the flats be-
tween Ohio and Elk streets; the office,
thus lightened of its burden, continuing
its voyage to the Hydraulics or that vi
cinity. A large grindstone was LETT in
like manner near the chest, having
been brought across the creek by some
similar means.
