thought proper to say few words to our
subscribers and friends generally. This
paper was published four years at Mont

publishing it without any aid from any
society or association, while know of no
other anti-sIavery paper that does not re-

ever be such. The establishing Of the
Green Mountain Freeman at Montpelier,
with pledges from the Liberty Party to
furnish l400 subscribers drew many from
this paper who could not afford to patron
ize both papers, and who thought paper
should be established at the Capital of the
State. These pledges / understood MIR

The various expenses have incurred

The individual whose melancholy fall is
thus officially announced, was formerly
known as Editor of the New York Evan.

lions Of the day have therefore been full IL
given to the world. For some time past
he has had pastoral charge in the state
of New Jersey. We feel that it is proper
for US Ia recording the deposition of this
individual, to refer briefly 10 some facts in
the history Of the case that will be Of
value to those who are accustomed to
look seriousl y into the causes and relations
of such deplorabIe events.

years as leader in those measures which
we mentioned last week as tending to cor.

and in the press, he has been one Of the
loudest in their advocacy, while those
who have sough more judicious and scr,p.
tural means to promote moral reforms
have been denounced as behind the age.
2. During a long series OF years, he
has been living in the most abandoned Ii.

painful facts, only tina. we may place be

DANG Err OF INAUGURATION,
or o fact without comment:

During the reign of "abolition riots"
| in this city, the writer of this was passing
through the village of P, in one
of the western counties of this State, just
after intelligence arrived of the commo.
ton here. This little village was quite
awake to the dangers Of abolitionism and
not little were the good citizens troub-
led about the wonderful and monstrous'
doctrine, amalgamation.
A learned judge, whose conscience re-
sponded to the public feeling, was among
the most active. and the boldest vocifera-
tors against the federation of amalgamu-
tive aboitionists.' He was doubtless ap.
prehensive that some dark crime might
at some future day demand the Judicial in
vestigation of his noble mind. He tho't
philanthropy and patriotism called upon
him to do something 10 avert the fearful
consequences which he fores0w.

Here, where young summer weaves
A screen of tender leaves
Over thy grave,
And the wood robins wing
Around Is fiuttering,
Thy requiem we sing,
Friend Of the slave!
Here, in this Ieafy aisle,

To thee we rear;

These shady paths to tread,
May. finger by thy bed
And drop tear.
Why, brother, should we mourn
Long hast thou bravey borne

Yet He, for whose dear sake
Thou didst that bulden take,
Well knowest how to make
Thy cross thy crown:
How glowed thy lips-thy pen,
When for thy fellow men,
For cen the thral,
Thy spirit dared to be
With Gods own freedom free,
And publish His decree,

COL. BENTON Us. GEN. JACKSON.

The Spectator of Tuesday charges Col Benton
with the grave offence Of having made an assault
upon the character and motives of Gen. Jackson.
The nature of the assault. it seems, is charge
that Gen. Jackson was the instigaion, and origi-
nal mover of the "intrigue," as Col. B. styles
it, for the annexation OF Texas. According 10 the
Spectator, Col. Benton denounced, in The Senate
on Monday, The intrigue" and its author. From
certain circumstances, the editor of that journal
argues thai Col B. cannot possibly mean anybody
but Gen. Jackson We should not be at all sur
prised. Col. Benton has, in his time, given the
old hero heavier thrusts than that and from all
accounts was wont to be his most troublesome
customer.
