The SENATOR ELECT. Though the wings have
a large majority in both branches of the Leglsa-
ture, a very large share of their time has been
spent in electng U. S. Senator. After the Sen
ate had balloted 81 times and the Joint assem-
bly, five times, without making choice, Mr.. Sta
CIV, of Burlington, one of the most talented wings
in the House. presented the name of George L.
Marsh, as a suitable man to represent Vermont,
and gave his reasons for opposing the election OF
Mr.. Phelps. He stated that he came to the place
intending to vote for the present Incumbent but
that evidence which was not denied and could not
be Denied was Lefore that body and before the
world, that he had not performed the duties OF his
Office for the last six years, but he had neglected
them, and shamefuly disgraced the state by his
immoralitles. He did not deny but Mr., P. had tai
ents of a high order; but what are talents unless
; directed to some good purpose? He minated thai
he had spent-a large share of his time in the grog

CAMPAIGN PApERs-A considerable number of
extra papers have been sent to some towns Tor a
few months past, with the hope Of promoting the
interests of the cause, and the coming
election, and more permanently by extending the
future circulation of the Freeman. We hope
that all or nearly all who have received 1t will just
get he.PoSt M asters to forward their names as
regular Subscribers. We intend to make the pa
per more interesting after the election, by giving
our readers much greater variety. viii not
those friends who have interested themselves in
getting the campaign papers have the goodness tc
attend to this matter also.

0G-The lite Maine papers announce HE death
of Mrs Ci.cy, widow of the Hon, j. Cilley who
was murdered in cool blood, few years since, by
VIM. J. Graves, and by means of a challenge
written by Henry Clay. The shock occasoned
by the murder of her aAectionate husband, was too
powerful for her nervous system-hcr heart was
broken and she pinned away under the weight of her
grief and died; leaving her orphan children to the
mercies of friendless world. And what has be-
come Of the murderers Of this man, and we may
add too, of his devoted wife One Of them is
claiming the highest honorS that Christian peo-
ple can bestow and the other is the distinguished
crater of the great wing mass meetings in the free
states
Christian reader, can you visit the untimey
graves of these parents, look upon their now IA
therless and motheress children, and then vote tol
their murdelers?

FOOT RACE.

A great foot race came off at Hoboken a few
days since. the prizes were $500, $3.50, 500, and
$50. The distance to be run was 10 miles. Ihere
were 16 competitors. Those who run that dis
lance within an hour were John Glider, young
mechanic of New York, who received the first
prize; John Barrow and John Greenlaugh, two
Englishmen, who received the second and third
prizes; John Ross, the celebrated Indian chief,
who received the fourth prize; and Henry STAN
nard, of Connecticut, who accomplished the 10
miles in exactly an hour. The two Engllshmen,

We have noticed that there has recently been
some half IA dozen Liberty news papers added to
the list and several of the old ones have been en-
Iarged and improved. Indeed every interest con-
nected with the Liberty party is going ahead
with astonishing rapidity. Depend upon it, this is
the great caus of there being much spite spit out
upon our candidates.

Allow me to state in your paper my reasons for
voting for ]. G. Birney in preference to Clay or
Polk, for President. As christian, a friend to q

Mr. Polk, 1, because he is Il slave holder, lives by
oppression, and does that to others which he lcOud

Because believe he is destitute of all those NOR

O. Because he is unable to govern his own ylo

hath no rule over his own spirit, is like city that
is broken down and without walls" Civil rulers

their earnest opposition to Slavery, abhor the

who do not follow in his train, is in full con-
uection and concert with the Editors Of the

we room, we might go in to show the dlsas-
trous results that would inevitably flow from
a dissolution of this Union, both in respect to
the cause of true religion, and humanity, the
tightening of the bands Of Slavery and in
riviting more firmly the shackles that now
bind the poor victims of oppression.

lovers of the human race, we are glad this
spirit is at present confined to a few disorgan-
izers, and farewell to liberty when if ever this
cry shall prompt the mass Of the American
People to consent to sever the tie, that now
binds them together as a nation. We hope
the seal Of disapprobation will be stamped
upon all attempts to sunder this republic.
