THE FIR E E NJ A N.
For the Freeman.
The PaStmThe PrCsent%The Fut0re.

Time was when nearly all nations tolerated
slavery, hut the principles of Justice and truth have
warred upon the foul system until our country
stands almost alone among civilized nations in the
inhunan practice. 1t is to be regretted that we
as nation had not set an example for other ma
tons, by emancipation, instead of refusing at this
late period in the advancement of the cause of hui
man rights, to follow their example. The conflict
ing laws of State overnments-ciaims of protec-
ton for slavery under our national constitution
appeals to the too common prejudice existing a.
galnst persons of coor-sympathy for slavehold
ers and their families, while those who toll fol
their support are forgotten, have too long held, or
neutral ground, maj ority of our northern citi-
zens and led them to tolerate the evil in our land
Meanwhile, the real anti-sIavery portion of com
munty have had their sympathies, for years, arr;
fully conducted into the resvoirs prepared by
shareholders, to prove 1t efecual action. Insidu-
ously and artfuy, has the current of anti-slavery
feeling been turned in every possible way to pre-
vent its united stream from undermining and des-
troyng the strong holds ofsIavery. At last, por-
ton of community have come to the common sense
conclusion that since Slavery is sustained and per
petuated by the lq,c- making po,Ver-the aw-mak-
ing power alone can abolish it, In a republic like
ours, the people are the law-makng body, and
therefore it was believed that the people in giving
their suffrage should act against slavery. 1t is a
matter of wonder that political anti-savery par.
y never before existed, for it is clearly to DE seen
III ia, .dn
first he removed. Slavery is the effect of bad egis
lation i'll making bad laws; this, its primary cause
can never be removed but by good legislation il
ann"tling those bad laws. The person who con
tends that the evil of slavery should he removed il
no other way than by moral suasion, must by thu
same principle contend that all evils caused by bat
laws should he removed in the same way, and tt
be consistent, such persons should join with thos
who advocate the mo human government system
There ale few who would knowingly stand in sucl
a position, but all protessed abolitionsts who vot
with the pro-slavery parties and use only mora
suGSion to counterfeit bad legislation, do and avii
stand on such ground, until they carry their anti
slavery principles to the ballot box. 1t is believ
ed, that by united action, under the blessing AM
guidance of ii kind Providence, (all of whose at
tributes are in direct opposition to slavery Amer
cans will yet carry out, sustain and perpetuate tn
true principles which our national Constitution
was framed 10 sustain, viz: That all men are ere
ated equal with nalenable rights and among
the rest life, liberty, and The pursuit ofhap
piness.' Do you wish to see this purpose con
sumnated' Then add to your moral suasion, lie
gal efforts at the Ballot Box. l.. H. w.

VERMONT AND MASSACHUSETTS, RAILROAD
The Preamble and Resolution adopted by the Bos-
ton meeting are as follows:
Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated that Rail
roads constitute the best mode Of inland comlnuni-
cation, for the conveyance Of passengers and
freight, especially in popuIous AGRICULTURAL man
ufaciuring and commercial country; and whereas
the numerous railroads which have been cons true
ted, leading from this city, have proved to be en-
inently beneficial to its interests, and Whereas the
great interests of this city require railroad com
munication with Canada thro' Vermont, at the ear
lest time practicable as it would not only (acit-
Nte and increase its intercourse and business with
Canada, but would ertend and secure to this city a
valuable trade with large section Of this State &
Vermont, probably unsurpassed agricultural and
mineral resources, by any portion Of New Eng
land, which trade is made tributary to the
city of New York; and whereas, railroad be-
tween Boston and Canada would tend, in an i'm
portant degree, to the continuance to this city OF
the line of steamships, running to and from Liv-
erpool, by affordng rapid conveyance for the
british mails to Montreal, now the seat of govern
ment of the Canadas, and which furnish to our
merchants the earliest intelligence of the state Of
the markets Of Europe; and whereas, the Boston
and Fitchhurgh railroad now nearly completed, il
the first link in the cham of the Massachusetts
Vermont and Canada Raiiroad-Therefore,
Resolved, AS the opinion of this meeting, tina
the time for action on the great subject Of rail
road communication between Massachusetts, Yer
mont and Canada, has arrived; and that the inter-
ests and prosperity of this city demand as the frs
step, the construction of railroad from Fitch
burgh, in this State, to Brattlebor0 in Vermont
and that measures should be Immediately adopted
TO secure the means Of its completion. .

Charity.

The celebrated and excellent Cowper says,
Some seek when queasy conscience has It's
qnaIms,
To lu the painful malady with aims"
1t is to be feared there is too little of that kind
OF charity, where the right hand knows not what
the left hand doeth. There is TOO much sound
ing OF the trumpet, when we bestow our alms.--
This is not lending to the Lord, nor will it carry
us to heaven.
No works shall find acceptance in that day,
When all DISCUSSES shall be rent away.
That square not truly with the scripture plan.
Nor spring from love to God, or love TO man.,

Our COunty's Bible. The American Messen-
ger says, three of the speakers, at the late Bible
anniversary, alluded in terms OF deep toned vener-
alton and gratitude to those noble patriots who
composed the American Congress Of 1892, who
supernended large edition OF the bible, and for
mally recommended it to the inhabitants of the u
nited States, thus pubicky declaring TO the nation
and the world, that our free Institutions are based
on the oractes ofthe ttving God.

TO ALL THE WORLD WHO USE
LEATHER IN ANY FORM.
OIL OF TANNIN
Or. LEATHER RESTORER.

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY.
Most people know, that skins and hides are con-
verted into leather by the of Tannin extracted
from certain barks, &c.
When the force and strength OF the Tannln Is
worn out, leather becomes dead, hard. dry, brittle
cracked, covered with crust, &c. THIS ALL
KNOW To restore then life, softness, mostness
strength, smoohncss, and remove all crust, fly or
blister-restore the tannin. This substance the
leather never can receive the second time; but the
whole virtues oil it in this article. the OIL OF
TANNIN-which penetrates the stfiest and hard
est leather, if it Inns been twenty years in use; and
If it tears easily with the fingers, it mpars at once
strength that is utterly incredible until seen. 1t
becomes like new leather, in all respects, with a
delightful sottness and polish and makes all leather
completely and perfectly impervious TO water-par-
tculary boots, Shoes carriage tops, harness, hose,
trunks and in fact. all things made of leather, CIV
ing a splendid polish, even hi CHER than new leather
has and at least doubling its wear and durability,
in whatever manner the leather is used. THESE
ARE FACTS.
VS. have TO say il, for we would never have be-
ieved the wonderful effects Of this oil upon leather
without seeing it: and we ask not for the edulity
of the community till they have seen, and then, we
know, that they must know these to be facts. Di-
rectlons for use. with each bottle. Patent leather
and It's polish restored by this oil.
Corns long exist where this is used for
boots and Shoes ii keeps the leather soft.
LEATHER cannot decay, or crack, mould or blls
ter during the common age OF man, so far as we
can Judge by experience II this oil is properly used.
LADIES shoes OF the finest kinds, are Deautified
and rendered water proofby it; and so are the shoes
or boots of all others who use it.
Danish then, all India rubber or other overshoes
and use this oil. The proprietors will warrant, that
if leather is first soakei in this OIL and then made
into boot, and that boot sunk three months in
ter not one drop of wet moisture can ever enter
the boot unless il runs over the top! and such a
boot shall wear double the time of its made that is
not so prepared.
Those who will old shoes, grown with
cons, ride with old carriage tops-have old har-
| ness, and throw them away half uscd-look filthy
themselves, and all about them-expend double
what necessary for articles of leather; to their
hearts content, for what care, if their prejudces
are SO strong, they will not try new discovery

greatest sufferers and we go for nobody's custom
or patronage. Now, gentlemen, please yourselves.
