We pity the man who has so little regard
or is so profoundly ignorant Of the true inter-
ests of the country, as not to feel a tide Of
patriotic indignation bursting through his
heart in view of the blighting consequences Of
the success of this abominable project of an
nexation. And yet it is truly alarming to see
with how little trembling the mass ofourpop.
ulation appreciate this awful subject as if it
were one of those measures of bad policy
which revolution in the political wheel

The evil can never be cured. 1t must stand

For the Northern GaLary.

Mr.. EDIToR-
Ny attention has been called to an ar
ticle from the hand of Merrill Bingham
published in your last paper relating to
his flock of sheep and challenging the dil-
ferent breeders of Merino sheep in Ad il
son County, to exhibit with him in COM
pntition for premium of from one t0 three
hundred dollars.
l am not disposed to let the challenge
go unnoticed, and therefore hereby pro-
pose to meet Mr.. Bingham at the YER
mont Hotel in MIddlebury on the 9th of
Nov. at o'clock P Nj. to conclude the
arrangements for the exhibition and to
place in the hands Of a treasurer deslg-
mated by us an equal amount of premi-
um money which we shall agree 10 con-
tribute said funds to remain in his hands
until the viewing committee, majority OF
three, shall designate which party are en-
titled to the premium and the party which
is signed to be meritorious shall be entitled
to the money agreeably to the specifica-
tions of Mr. Bingham.
Mr.. Bingham offers to come on to "Fair
and reasonable grounds" Therefore l
will exhibit my entire flock ofsheep on my
own premises and give said Bingham
the privilege ofexhibiting his entire flock
on his own ground The viewing COM
mittee, two OF them to be chosen by said
Bingham, and two by myself, these four
to select the fifth on saturday the 9 of
of Nov at 10 o'clock A. NJ. at Harmon
Samsons in Cornwall shall Immediately
proceed to examine our respective ilocks.
1t shall be the understanding that neith-
er of the viewing committees shall be
selected in the towns of Cornwall or Wey-
bridge, unless agreed to BY both parties,
nor among our family Connections.
The word "merino" in Mr.. Binghams
specification shall mean the ".SpQnish"
and net the "!SdI0a" Merino.

earnestly entreat you to be on your guard

Cd their tents on Monday in field belong
ing TO Isaac Yocomb, on the Darby road
about 3 10 from Permanent bridge. The
first tent was erected about IL O'Clock. -
The converts continued increasing in the
encampment all that day and night, males
and females, some in omnibuses, carria-
gcs, and on foot. Some of them threw
away their property as they went along in
the street The first tent became so crow
ded that the children were forced into the
open air, without the proper care of their
parents. These little ones were exposed
to the peltlng of the pitiless Storm
Numbers of these poor children we're
running about the field crying for their
mothers and fathers, and some even for
food.
Yesterday morning a second tent was
erected and the numbers had increased
very greatly. The condition of these
people is indeed anything but comfortable,
and it must become worse from want of
proper food and o her necessities of life
besides sleeping on the damp ground in
this inclement season of the year, with
scarcely enough clothing to cover them.
II is feared that numbers will never leave
the ground, and those that do leave it, will
do so with scarce hope of recovery

1t is the settled and reckless determination of
the Loco-Foco party to annex Texas. For
years have we witnessed the whitening in
fluence Of southern domination over the policy
Of the country. Foryears has the North been
humbled at the feet of the slaveocratic power
which has usurped all the important Offices Of
the government, and been guilty of oft repeat
ed assaults upon northern rights. The
purchase of Louisiana and Florida has tend
to perpetuate that power. But are you in ia
vor of annexing another foreign territory
whose soil is polluted with Slavery recogniz-
ed and protected by law? Can any man
doubt that the States there formed will be
slave States, when the undisguised objects
avowed by the South who advocate annexa-
ton is the extension and perpetuatiou OF Sla-
very, and its power in the government of the
countryl

WINGS
COME OUT.

Although there can be no reasonable doubt
oil the repetition of the victory ofSeptember
yet the magnitude Of the stalk e creates some
degree Of solicitude. The possibility Of de-
feat and above all the glory and advantage Of
an overwhelming victory should decide ev-
cry true Wing to be at the polls next Tues
day. Indeed apathy may work wonders
even in Vermont. Aided by supiuess on our
part, and tremendous effort on their own
connected with coalition with the Third
party which from the course of Birnev NAV be
possible, and believed by many to be in con-
temptation, Locoiocoism has chance of
success. We are persuaded there will be no
remissness on the part of Locofocoism.
Their journals crow, raost obstrsperously.
1.-The tide (says tbs Age) is in our favor.
TIE election of p ok is as certain as that he
lives. and if re will we Gin wheel Vermont
into the Democratic line. At the worstwe
can cone so near it as to make our triumph
IN l.-'45 matter Of certainty" Do you hear
mat Whigsl And will you suffer such gas
conading to pass unrebuked by casting any
thing less than the overwhelming majority
which you are capable of giving. Will you
hazard even the possibility of defeat, or loose
the glory and future advantage of a triumph
ant majority by staying single one of you at
home, or ceasing to use every effort in your
power between this and the 18th, to convince
the waivering, to multiply converts, and ar
ray the whole Wing army at the ballot boxes.

NONE? NONE ?

A man who from such high pretensions as
the advocate of human rights as to be Sc
lected as the candidate of the Liberty party
can decend so low as to become a candidate
of the Locofoco party for the office of a
member Of the Legislature, should be spurn-
ed by every high-minded Abolitionist in the
land, whether Wing or Loco.
