EXTRACT OF LETTER FROM Rev H. MoUL-
roN.-Mr. Editor,-My heart sickens more and
more at the disgusting denominations Of slavery.
The physical condition of the slave is of the most
revolving character; but in the sight of God, holy
men and angels, their moral condition must look
far more eXcepJon0blc. look back with horror
upon the scenes acted over and over on the plan
tations ofthe South; but hope says that their
ell sutterng5 will soon pass away; but The bad eff
fects which slavery produces on the moral cond-
ton of the slave, will be felt throughout the bound
less ages of eternity.

have seen the poor slays stripped and fastened at
the whipping post, making the most pitcous means;
but deeper horrors strike the mind when | CON

with quick step from the sound of the lash the hor-

entreates of the sufferers, that music of such mel

The Result.

The great struggle is finally passed, and the
very important question, which Of the two great
thieves and robbers shall be president of this re-
publican, Christian nation for the next four years
is settled We have had occasion to speak of the
chcancry and the reckless course pursued by the
wings in this campaign--that their defeat is the
fruit Of the ungodly character of their candidate
and their abominabo forgcries and outrageous
faIsehoods, can hardly be doubted. They howev-
attribute their defeat in not electng MIR. Clay to
the liberty party Well, be it so. This IS rather
more credit than we could expect. They have
told US, all along, that we were throwing away
our votes; but if we have succeeded in defeating
the election of such a man as Henry Clay, surely
we ought to thank God and take courage. If we
have beat Clay this time, we will beat him and
Polk both next time
In Mr.. CIay's defeat we do most sincerely and
heartily rejoice; but we do Motive cannot re DICE
in the election of Mr.. Polk His own conduct
while speaker of the House of Representatives, in
reference to the gag rule, and the general course
of his party leave no reason to hope that the cries
of suffering humanity will receive any notice from
them. The conduct of this party in &c bending the
hinges of their plant knees to the slave power,
whenever it has demanded it, as seen in their eff
fonts to sacrifice the Amisaid captves on its
bloody altar and especially the encouragement it
has given to the suicidal plot of anneXing Texas
to this Union, shows conclusvely that they are. as
they always have been, ready to sanction the self
evident lie that all men are not created equal.

efforts to secure his election. And would it not
be more in accordance with the principles and de-
sign Of the Constitution of this state and of the U.
s. to let the dictates of reason govern our actions,
rather than to he carried away by the inordnancy
of party strife? If such corrupt measures are
made use of to carry out patriotic principles as
we are aware has been resorted to-have we not
reason to fear that the final results may be a little
tlnctured with impunity?
Ever since arriving to the state of puberty,
have made all laudabe endeavors to carry out the
principles of true and trusty wings, and still have
the same desire. But never can give my consent
to resort to such unjust and dsgraceful means as
fear and have reason to believe, that some of our
party resorted;to to secure the late election Much
more consoling would it be to me to be honestly
defeated than to come cut victorious by re5orting
to unjust means.
would by no means attach all the censure to
party of which am member; for firmly and

Return Of Votes,

1t will probably be some time before a full re-
turn Of the Liberty vote will be obtained. In most
instances the first report falls far short of giving
our real strength. Thus it was in Connecticut
last spring. All the papers reported that there had
been a falling off from the former election, but the
official vote presented handsome gain. So it has
been this fall. From the first returns we supposed
the Liberty vote in that State was smaller than it
was last spring, but it now appears almost certain
that it is larger, though it has gained the least
Of any State yet heard from. SO far as returns
have come in, every State has made Il good adj
vance from last years vote in almost every county.
1t would have been doing we'll to hold our own in
the face of such storm as has ragged against us for
the last year, but to go-ahead steamboat-hke, when
we did not expect to elect our candidate, indicates
the righteousness of our cause and our early tri-
umph. Here we will set up our ebenezer, and in
the name of the Lord buckle on the armor for new
conquests. We have clfectualIy laid on the shelf
the man who has done more to enlarge, defend and
strengthen slavery, than any other man in the ma
ton, but The conquest had only just commenced
Should nothing in Providence prevent, we may
add one hundred per cent to our nu mber mex
year, easier than we have fifty this year.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE VERMONT
P.ATRIOT.

SIR:-ln the memorable campaign of 1910,
well rccolect the discourse Of the Patriot in refer
ence to the hard, cider, nocturnal cannonading
Wing celebration over the results of the New
York election. Points like these were urged, with
much apparent sympathy; That such practices
possessed a dangerous immoral tendency-de-
bauched the mnd-produced loss Of health, wealth
and time-were promoliye of intemperance-dis-
turbed the repose Of peaceabe citizens-and were
altogether offense against every rule of moral
ity, sobriety and dccorum.
Now, Sir, will you allow the said Patriot to
speak your views concerning very similar per-
formance reacted by the " democrats" few
nings ago over the returns from the set-same
New York similar, but with one exception, that
a stronger THAI cider, and more noisy than can
mons. were employed-aso, that for some reason
or other the song singers adopted the lying, in

Presidential Election,

We have received the following returns from

of New York, as given by the Albany Argus, gives
a majority for Polk of Of 5,798. The final major
ity when officially asceroined, will probably be
less than five thousand This is a very small ma
iority when compared with the whole number of
votes, which is probably over 100000.

81 democrats, wings, and A American Repnb-
can members. In the present Congress there is "a

N5- 1t is a great pity that the wings have so fool
ishly thrown away their votes upon Henry Clay.
If they had given them for Birney they might have
saved their votes, and their consciences too.
From the recent elections it seems certain that
the wings will have majority in the U. S. Senate
for at least two years more. Any treaty that Mr.
Polk may make for the annexation of Texas, will
doubtless be rejected by the wing Senate; where
as, if Mr.. Clay had been elected President. and
were to enter into treaty for that object, it would
undoubtedly be confirmed.

Infamous Wing Forgery Exposed,

The Election on The 18th.

SO far as we have obtained returns from the
votes cast on the 9Th iEStant the wings have just
about held their own since September. The de-
mocrats have lost $780, and the liberty party have
lost l59. But we think when all the votes are in
there will be a considerably smaller vote on all the
tickets than was cast in September.
In the fourth district Mr.. Dillingham; has gained
upon the last vote 81. There is probably no cleo
ton, though our returns are very limited, and the
result may yet be considered doubtful.

OUR THOUGHTS.

On the whole, it is of as great importance that
a man take heed what thoughts he entertains, as
what company he keeps, for they have the same
effect on his mind, Bad thoughts are as infectious
as bad company; and good thoughts soIoce, in
struct and entertain the mind, like good company.
And this is one great advantage of retirement, that
a man may choose what company he pleases from
within himself AS in the world we ottener light
in bad company than good, so, in solitude, we arc
oftener troubled with mpertnent and Improbable
thoughts, than entertained with agreeable and use
fuI ones; and he that hath so far lost the command
of himself rs to be at the mercy of every foolish
anu veAing thought, is much in the same Situation
as host whose house is open to all corners, whom,
though ever rude, noisy, troublesome, he
cannot get rid Of; but with this difference, that the
latter hath some rccompense for his trouble-the
former, none at all, but is robbed of his peace and
quiet for nothing.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1844-11-15

The so cIed democrats of this village made a
great display of their patriotic joy, because so ma
ny had put their necks into the Polk, by unfurling
their banners, drinking about as much rum as the
wings did of hard cider four years ago, singing
coon songs, (Which they learned of the wings, J
by burning an abundance of tar, and gun powder,
greatly to the annoyance ofthe more civil part of
the community.
Probably similar scenes have been acted all over
the country. This, we suppose, is only foretaste
Of what is to be endured for the next four years.

EARLY RIsING.-Up with you! DON'T sleep
Sarah, Maria, Eliza, Harriet, Laura, Hannah!
and all the rest of you lazy girls arouse, wake up,
rise, and see the sun shine, and brush away the
dew from the beautiful grass. You not only lose
the best portion the day while you linger in bed,
but you depress your spirits, and contract sluggish
habits. What you are sleepy! Jump out of
bed fly round, stir about, and in a few moments
you will be bright as a lark. We would not give
straw for girls that will not get up in the morn
ing! What are they good for? Lazy, dumpish
creatures-hey are not fit for wives or compan-
ions. Our advice to young men who are looking
out for wives would be, never select female who
dozes away the precious morning hours She
may prove help eat, but will never prove help
meet.

TEE SEA.-The mean depth of the sea, accor-
ding TO La Place, is from four to five miles If the
existing water were increased only one fourth, it
would drown the earth, with the exception OF some
high mountains. If the volume of the ocean were
augmented by only one eighth, considerable por-
tions of the present continents would be changed
all over the globe. Evaporation would he so much
extended, that rains would continually destroy the
harvest, and fruit and flowers, and subvert the
whole economy of nature. There is, perhaps, no
thing moro beautiful in our system than the pro-
cess by which our fields are irrigated from the
skies, the rivers fed from the mountains, and the
ocean restrained with bounds, which it can never
exceed as long as that process continues on the
present scale. The vabor raised by the sun from
the sea, foats wherever it is Tighter than the at
mosphere; condensed, it falls upon the earth into
water; or on the mountains, dissolves, land repen-
ishes the conduts with which, externally, or inter-
nay they are all furnished,
By these conduia the fluid is conveyed to the
rivers which flow on the surface of the earth and
and to the springs which lie deep in its bosom, des-
tined to supply man with purer element. If we
suppose the sea then to be considerably diminish
ed, the Amazon, and the Mississippi, those inland
seas of the western world, would become inconoid-
cradle BROOKS, would wholly disappear, the atmos-
phere would be deprived Gifts due proportion of
humidity, all nature would assume the garb ofdes-
olation, the birds would droop on the wing, the
lower animals would perish on the bar rem soil, &
mar himself wther away like the sickly grass al
his feet.

To The Editor ofMe BURLINGTON Free Press


Sir: Rejecting little as have of late upon
the proceedings of the election that has lately
passed by, deem it my duty to obrude upon your
columns, (proyiding you see fit,) by Offering few
remarks relative to such proceedings, In the first
place, the present state of the two most promi-
nent political parties in our town are very much
corrupted; and in my opinion, if such principles
are fully carried out as both parties seem to de-
light in, we most assurcdy shall become the most
degraded and vile people republican government
can produce.
In reference to the election Of our town repre-
sentative, cannot but say that such measures as
were resorted to by both parties to secure the G.
election Of each, and by those too who should be
leading men in all oudabe and Just mea "a .es, are
far from being comme0dable or exemplary. As
to the representative elect, consider him entitled
to the esteem of every true patriot. Furthermore,
consider him perfectly competent and willing to
carry out the principles of justice aud of the con-
stituton of this State as extensively as any resi-
dent of our town. He most heartily received my
suffrage and support;-and none other, think,
than honest motives attended my earnest but full
