Though we have sometime since made up our
mind, that Vermont will be the Banner State -
that is, we shall cast more Liberty votes in pro-

next fall; we rejoice at the fattering prospects of
our neighbors Massachusetts seems TO take the
lead in almost every means for promoting the good
cause. The publication ofthe Morning Chroni-

will doubtless be one ofthe most efficient instru-
ments in tho field. Mr.. Leavitt's thorough ac-
quaintalce with the anti-slavery cause, together
with his excellent acultyn condeusing and arrang-
ing his materials, and his untring industry and
perseverance, prepare him to manage daily pa

O Horrible, HOrribIc,~" Most Horrible !!

An American citizen is to be hung in South
Carolina for attempting to assist his wife to gain
her liberty!
Read the following sentence of South Carroll
ma Judge, taken from late New Orleans paper,
and say if the darkest annals of despotism or pa
ganism can furnish parallel. And could Scrip
ture be so tortured and misquoted for such pur-
pose by any but an ncarnate devil? Are we the
descendants of those who poured out their blood
like water to establish the doctrine of mans e.
quality and inalenabe right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness" And do we profess
the religion of the kind and mercifnl Jesus,
'Who taught the glorious truth, eye all are
brothels
That love and Justice unto all are due;
That in life's business We shall do to Others
Even as We would that others should to you."
Then let the press and the pulpit ring out their
deep denuncation Of the legal murder impending
over this innocent but unfortunate man, and they
may save not only his life, but the character OF
the pratcal and bloody shareholders from thl;
lowest and as yet Hnreached depth of degradation
into which they will inevitably fall by the ex-
ecution Of the sentence.
Will not our brethren Of the press at least join
us In expressing the universal indignation which
all must feel at such nhuman cruelty, and by oV-
erwhelming the Governor ofthat State with oui
circumstances in the name of Christianity, Of
patEiotsm, and Of our common humanity, ny one
mighty appeal to his pardoning power, attempt td
save orr religion, our country, and our republican
institutions from the seorn and execration OF eve
ry civilized people under the whole heavens? But
to the dreadful and blood-congeaIin sentence:
fThjs sentence has been published in the Free
man, by which it will be seen that poor Brown is
to be hung on the Goth Of next April, unless the
sentence is arrested )-ED.

Dear Sir-Yoting Joseph Corhrane is not yet
dead-he was shot in front of the head, and the
ball literally ploughed up the top of his skull, and
tea-spoonful of the brain was removed, and yet
he is alive! What do you think of the wretches
who could go out with these boys and see them
try to murder each other? Mr.. Pooler of Geor-
gia or Alabama and Mr.. Robert Cuyler were
seconds for May; and Mr.. Ash son of Michael
w. Ash, was the second of poor COchrane, with
another person; one or two of the seconds ran
away directly when it was said Cochrane was
dead, and young May, when told he was dead, is
reported to have said c. him, he ought to have
been killed before" He is said to have been in
such a hurry to escape, that he jumped on horse
and rode off, leaving his great coat behind. He
is brother of Lieut. May, who figured in an af-
fair with young Key, some time since. The quar-
rel arose between Pooler and Ash at billiard ia
bic; May interfered, and Cochrane called him a
cowardIy fellow; and thus arose the challenge

DEATH OF COCHRANE.
From the Correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune.
Washington, Feb. 10, 1914.
The unfortunate youth, Joseph Cochrane, who
was shot on Friday in the duel with young May,
is dead. He died this morning at o'cIock-hav-
ing fingered insensible for 40 hours. 1t has com
pIetely overwhelmed his brother and two sisters
with grief He is to be buried tomorrow, it is
sad in the Congressional burying ground; and it
is expected there will be quite concourse of
people. Young May has fled, and so have all the
seconds; May is only %, and has brother cap
tain in the Army, and another Lieut.. in the Ma
Wy. A third brother was tho one who circulated
the SANDER about Mr.. Webster and lady, in the
State Department, year or so ago. The Doctor
who went out with them was middle aged man
of good standing here; all the rest inexperi-
enced young men; Cochrane not being 10 years
old, May came into town at - O'Clock on Fri
pistols, declaring he would not be taken alive and
then fed into Maryland 1t is said to be the in

stand my opinions can have no difficulty in clearly
experimenting them. l have repeatedly expressed
them late this spring, and several times in an.
swer to letters from Pennsylvania. My opinions.
such as they are, have been recently quite as free
ly expressed at the South, as ever uttered them
at the North. IhG0e eUe1y scheremaisstainedtho that
