" What has the North to do with
SiaveryF

Every man in Vermont who lives by the sweat
OF bis brow, and wishes to enjoy the fruit Of his
honest industry, ought to read the development,
on our first page Of the manner in which the slave
holders Of the south have long drawn money, by
m act of Congress, from the U. S. Treasury, for
the purpose of hiring the Florida indians to che
vigilant and faithful" in preventing fugitive slaves
from coming among them, and in arresting and
returning such as come within their reach. And
f~urther-mark the bold avowal of a southern mem
her, that the U~iolation of this condition ,o4s the
main cause Of the Florida tcar! Think of this,
treemen! that more than FORTY MILLION dollars
of the hard earnings Of the north have been pour
ed out like water to hunt the poor savages of
Florida, who were too humane-too christian
like, to turn bloodhounds' and bay upon the track
of fugitives from worse than Egyptian bondagc!-
Think of the part you have acted-the guilt you
have incurred, unwittingly, probably, in carrying
on this Remembering and sauguinary war; look
over and search out the dark foundations of this
iniquitous system OF slavery; see how it is entirely
supported by the industry and wealth, and project
ed by the b%ayonets of the north-and then answer
the oft-repcated question, "What has the north
10 do with 6Iaveryi"
Again;-when the south are thus violating the
constitution by rifing the pockets of honest indus
try at the north, to support this impoverIshing
system of bloody and cruel oppression, RS they
arc continually doing, why do not our represen-
tatives from the north, from Vermont-those who
claim to belong to the " more favorable party" tc
anti sIavery-spesk out aud let their constituents
know the true state Of the case-how that the i'm
poverishing system of slavery is continually over
stepping the bounds OF the constitution, and by it.

a. rejoice, that the abolition Of slavery throughout the
civilized world il no longer predetermined; it seems to be
almost universally conceded that this stupendous fraud
upon a portion Of the human race is fast drawing to a
close, and the great question with US 10 truly, what meas

the United States.
"Political action is necessary to produce
moral reformation in a nation and that action with US
can only ba eTectually exercised through the ballot box
And surely the ballot box can never be used for a more
noble purpose, than to restore and secure to every mar

1-It is earnestly hoped that county, town, and
school district committees will sec to it immedi-
ateIy that their regions are well supplied with the
extras, for which We issue proposals to-day. A
valuable female abolitionist (whose zeal and intel
ligence on this subject ought to put thousands of
voters TO the blush) remarked the other day, that
her husband had been active in circulating the
Freeman in his neighborhood, and she had noticed
that almost every one who had the reading of the
paper had become all out-spoken Liberty man.
This, we d0ubtnot, will be found The case through
out the State, unless it be in n few instances Of
offce-lolders and seekers, or blind partizans who
would not believe though one should rise from the
dead. And VIC say this not by way Of %boasting Of
he ability with which the Freeman is conducted.
but in honor Of the immutable and eternal truths
which lie at the foundation of the Liberty cause.

Gus efforts ofthe two lending parties to bring the freemen

at variance with our Declaration of independence, the

The question now for he North finally to decide is
shall the slave states draw US down with them, and both
perish, or shall we. by a decided conjunct exertion Of vr-
tuous energy, save ourselves sad them from destruction 1"

dairy, no matter by what numbers, or with what solemn
tier ordained, the least semblance Of right to establish Sla-
very, to make property Of my felloto, created equally with
myself, in the image of God. Individually or as political
communities, men have no more right to enact Slavery,
than they have to enact murder, or bIasphemy, or incest,
or adultery. To establish slavery is to dethrone right, to
tTample on justice, the only true foundation of Govern
ment. Governments exist, not for the destruction Of lib
erty, but for It's defence-not for the annihilaton of mem
rights, but their preservation. '-Birney on -fnnerdtiCn

"The more Favorable PaEty'

viii our readers Just look at the brief congress
sional proceedings we give to-day, (tho only thing
Of interest in that body we have seen lately and
see how the " more favorable party" treat the
question of slavery. It appears that the petition
ers, in arguing against annexation, took OCCASION
to drop a word against slavery. Mr.. Berrien, a
great Wing leader, objected to its reception, be-
cause it spoke disrespectfully of slavery, MIR,
White persisted, and finally Messrs. Crittenden
and Morebead of Kentucky, (Mr. Cluy's right
hand mem advised Mr.. Berrien to allow the Pc
tition to be received, and lie upon The table, mas
much as the petitioners expressly dtSciatmed all

been any possibility of those petitioners being alb
olitionists, the question of receiving their paper
must have been lad on the table! Abolitionists

JAMES K. POLK.

A STAKEHOLDER of Tennessee.
As Speaker in Congress, he gave great license to rovdy-
ism and insubordination.
His construction Of the gag rules was arbitrary, deciding
that a rule against The reception Of abolition petitions pro-
hibited all allusion to slavery in debate.
His greatest claims are, that he is in favor of the imme-
date annexation of Texas, at all hazards, and is n pet of
Gen. Jackson.
The convention which nominated Mr.. Polk resolyed+**
" that all efforts of the aboliti onists or others, made to in
duce Congress to interfere toith questions of slavery, or
to tale INclPIENT STEPS in relation thereto, are calcu-
lated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous conse-
quences, and that all such efforts have an inevitable ten
dency to diminish the happiness of the people and endan-
ger the stability and permanency Of the Union, and ought
not to be cOuntenanced by any friend Of our political insti-
tutions."

18th routes. on all Of which their is Stage travel,
and the reminder will show average charge for
Steamboat and Railway conveyance Of one cent
and half per pound per hundred miles.
The cost on tho 10Th. exclusively Stage route.
is 81 cents per pound per hundred miles. Taken
in connection with Steamboat and Railway
charges i shows average Of 81 cents per pound
per hundred miles.
The "llorso Routs" remain TO be considered.
The Post Master General reports that they cost
= 5 cents per mile. As the mails carried on
horse buck rarely exceed so or 10 pounds in
weight. the cost may BIO stated at one mill pcr
pound per ms-or 10 cents per hundred miles.
THIS however will not increase the general nv.
erago.
Jhourh the "IIorse Routes" amount in length
to 3 per cent ofthe service the number of pounds
On rrod over them is probably less than 5 per
cont of the whole transportation. For every so
pounds carried on horse back, at least 200 ara
carried in stage, and $50 by Steam. boats and Rail
Cars.
The matter carried in Stages may be estima.
tod at one fifth OF the entire weight, though the
distances amount to So per cent.
And over the remaining lG per cent of Rail Road
and Steamboat routes, three fourths IN weight OF
the entire mails are carried Assuming the charges
already stated for these different modes Of convey.
To be correct, the general cost Is Do cents
per pound por hundred miles.
