For The Green Mountain Freeman.

Extract Of a letter from d. E, Nicholson, Esq.
FRIEND AsPEXwALL,-In compliance with an
intimation from the Secretary of the State Com
mitee, and in obedience to an inclination of my
own, especially as no recent account of Liberty
has gone up from this region, for the encourage
ment of the brethren aud the confusion Of our op-
posers, do the more cheeriulIy communicate
word of encouragement to the friends of the OPP
pressed. 1t is well known that this part of the
State has not kept pace with other sections in the
great liberty movement. The means of advance
ment, or in figure of speech, the clouds OF mercy
have mainly ''gone round" Will not some of the
" Boanerges' make tour of the valley of Otter
Creek? The people are anxious to hear anti
slavery intelligence is seized with avdity. The
fact is, the people are beginning to understand
that slavery is an incompatible curse-public
opinion is fast becoming revolutionized, and the
not to be mistaken indication is, that the vast nu-
isance of American Slavery must soon abate.
In default of lecturers any where in this part of
the State, have improved my leisure, as arrange
mentS could be made, and have met respectable
gatherings of the people in the towns in this vi
cipleS of Liberty in contrast with slavery. The
results, so far as am able to determine, are uni
formly encouraging. Organization has been, and
is being got up; and although we are yet far be-
hind our brethren at the East and North, we have,
nevertheless, got our car in motion in time to fair
y " distance slavery" The general cry is, some
thing must be done, not only to hedge up the way,
but also to eXtrpate this abomination! The lead
ers of the old parties, dreading nothing like the
annihIlatiOn of their parties, are casting about
themselves for wherewth to perpetuate their
being. And behold, an expedient is discovered,
and is set forth in recent emanation from the
source of the LATE opposition to political aboli-
ton. 1t is nothing less than the hanging out of
faithful jmitation of the anti-slavery colors.-
Heartless subtorfuge!! Will abolitionists be
caught with chaff? Will they be duped into tho
driving of this novel machine, instead of contrib
uting their energies to the support of the policy
which has for years and above board, done battle
with this NOW generally recognized fOea How
long since these political abolitonsts, that vote
for shareholders, thought that abolition was most
TOO good to be degraded with politics. Let some
modern pretender explain what but fear of snni-

FLOGGING.

Two slaves have been convicted and hanged for
murder: the following punishment was dealt out
to one who happened to be in the house at the
time the murder was committed:
| had often seen black men whipped, and always
when The lash was applied with great severity,
heard the sufferer cry out and beg for mercy-but
in this case, the pain inflicted by the double blows
Of the ckory so intense, that Billy never ut
tered so much as groan; aud do not believe
he hreathed for The space Of two minutes after he
received the first strokes. He shrank his body
close to the trunk Of the tree around which his
arms aud legs were dashed, drew his shoulders up
to his head, like dying man, and trembed, or
rather shrered in all his members. The blood
flowed from the commencement, and in few
minutes lay in small puddleS at the root of the tree.
saw flakes Of flesh us long as my finger, fall out
of the gashes in his back; and believe he was
nsensible during all the time that he was receiv-
ing the last two hundred laShes.-When the whole
five hundred lashes had been counted by the per-
sons appointed to perform the duty, the half dead
body was unbound, and laid in The shade of the
tree upon which sat The gentlemen who had
done the whipping, eight or ten in number, being
joined Ivy their friends, then came under the tree,
and drank punch until their dinner was made
ready under a booth of green boughs, at short
distance.

W3- communication from Mr.. Saely, Of be-
tween six and seven closely written pages, has
been received. 1t is on the same subject as his
last letter. and to Il considerable extent a rcpct-
ton of it. We are so much crowded this week
that we cannot possibly publish it, if VIC desired
to ever so much But as we cannot learn that any
one except Mr.. Seely is dissatisfied with the re-
mark, that we shall labor for the reformation Of
the church and not its destruction, on which it is
principally founded, and as we have no reason to
think that one in hundred of our renders would
be willing to have the columns Of the Freeman
occupied with personal controversy on that sub,
iect, we doubt the proprety of publishing itatall
We intend to make some remarks on that subject
as soon as we can find time to write them and
room to insert them, which we have no doubt will
satisfy Mr.. Seely, without even the appearance Of
controversy between the friends of the slave
which we are anxious to avoid.

GlSLATURE OF VERMONT-ack acknowledging
the construction of Congress to be correct, un-
doubtedIy-at their last session, on the recommen-
daton of Gov. MaHocks, and to the great edifca-
ton, apparently, ofths same Vermont Waterman,
passed law, making it an offence punishable with
Imprisonment in the state prison, and fine not ex-
ceedlng one thousand dollars, for any town, coun-
ty state officer, or private citizen to aid or as
sist in arresting fugitive slave! The constitu-
ton, Congress says, and the Wings believe, de-
cares that fugitive slaves shall be giuen uD on al,
plication of their owners-but the Wings of Yer
mont turn round and declare they sbail not be Civ
len up by her citizens! SO the Waterman NAV
take which horn of the dilemma it pleases if the
Liberty Party is correct in declaring the popular
Interpretation of the clause in question incorrect
then they are guilty of no treason; and if they are
not correct, then the Whigs themselves are guilty
of the same glazing offence And could the Lib
erty Party, especially in Vermont, do less thar
they have, when if they had done less and in com.
pliance with the o0icjal Interpretation of the cou
stituton, had surrendered q fugitive siape, they
would have been subjected, under Ibis WING {aac
to IMPRISONMENT and u FINE ofo THOU.
