FREEMEN OF RUTLAND COUNTY! A

Shall the sale of Intoxicating liquors as
beverage continue TO haze the sanction
and authority Of Lao IN your coNntW
In tho true spirit Of Repubicanism, the
Commonwealth OF Vermont has committed
this question entirely 10 you. And 10
whom we ask, could this responsibility be
more properly entrusted2 For if the in
cipient or confirmed inebriate is 10 be en-
couraged and urged on in his downward
course, it must be by the People. If the
rumseIler is to be countenanced in his
traffic 10 be supported in catering 10 the
morbid appetite Of the unfortunate, and Ia
king the bread from the wretched and
starving, for the increase of his wicked
gains, the sovereign people must DO it
Or if temptation is 10 be removed from the

Who SLEW THIS Man !--HIMsELF OR
THE RuMsELLER2

HORRIBLE. Mr. Lyman D. Scott an
old resident of Moukton, and who had for
merly borne an exemplary character but
who has for a few years past been addict
ed to the use of Intoxicating liquors, put an
end to his life on Saturday night, by burn
ing his house and consuming himself in
The flames. He was just recovering from
partial attack Of the deirium tremens,
and for a week previous his fomily had
not dared 10 remain with, but came occa<
sional v 10 visit him. Last Saturday even.
ing he told his wife that he was going 10
burn up the house and himself 10 it that
night; but as he had repeatedly made sim
liar threats, she thought little of it. On
Sunday morning the house, which was
valuable one, well supplied with furniture
and well stocked with provisions, was
found reduced TO a heap of ashes, and The
burnt and cindered bones of the rumsel>
ler's victim were taken from the ruins.
Previous 10 setting fire 10 the house, APP
pearances indicate that he drove the amin
ais GU! of his barn, which was near TO i,
and which he doubtless supposed, would
also be consumed. He was about As
years OF age, and has lel wife and Two
children. Vegmonter, Dec. II.

A LAUGHABLE INCIDENT. In the new
melodrama, recently got up at the Chats
ham Theatre, famous robber is taken
and beheaded, and his head is exhibited
TO the audience by being placed on table
in the centre of the stage. TO accomplish
this TO the life, The robbers body is fixed
in the body Of the table, aud his neck is
fitted into hole in the centre leaf, so that
10 the audience it looks precisely as lhough
the mans head had been Gu! off and stood
up in a pool OF its own blood upon the ta~
bic. On The fifth night Of the exhibi ion,
a wag got into the third tier Of the stage
boxes, and by some unexplained maneuv-
re, managed to blow lot OF Scotch snuff
over the stage, jus! as the head was placed
upon the table. AS soon as the snuff be-
gan to settle down, the head commenced
sneezing to The no small amusement Of
the audience, and as the sneezng could
not be stopped, the curtain fell amid roars
of laughter and confusion.

who voted in favor of licensing commits
sioners, joined in earnest remonstfance ?
And it was vain 10 expect any other re-
suit. These gentlemen we're compelled
by the issue upon which they were elected
10 do as they have done; just as Temper
ance men would have been obi 2ed 10 have
done directly the opposite, had they been
elected. The true issue was then exactly
what it is now. license or no license. This
issue which was so arfully concealed last
year by our opponents, must this year
stand out confessed as the true rallying
point of the battle.
We offer you the names of George w
HARTMAN of Pawlet, GUsTAvCs A. Aus.
TIN OF Orwell, and EDWARD f. HoDe-
Els Of Rutland, as candidates for Commits
sioners OF License. They are all of them
gentlemen of known integrity and sound
temperance principles, and if they are e.
lected, they will honor the public conf
dence, by conforming 10 all cases strictly
10 the principles of their constituents.
In conclusion, you will allow US 10 say
that we cannot resist the conviction, that
our failure last year was uEnecesSary.-
Temperance men were too confident Of
success. Many hoped the victory would
be gained by The efforts of others, and SO
excused themselves and The county was
lost! Let US learn wisdom from our suf.
ferings; and see 10 i. that we do not fail
again from similar negligence. Dismiss

The UnconstItutIonaiity Of s,avcrys
By Lysander Sp0Oasr, Boston, lS45.

This pamphlet of l56 pages, we have
read through very carefully, and although
it is full OF elaborate research, and able
and plausible argument, yet i! fails TO con,
vince US of It's truth. We are satisfied
that slavery exists in all The old thirteen
States, where it now exists conSt1tutioaa!-
lg We have a phrase 10 the West that
is very coarse, but to the pont-so far as
the Constitution sanctions slvaery, i. is
hes, frankly "lo acknowledge the corn"
Every argument which is merely spe,
cious, but really in the honest convictions
of sensible men untrue, weakens the cause,
however good. Surely, surely the great,
the good, the just, the glorious cause Of
liberty and political equality Of rights
needs no meri:ricious aid> Words are
intended TO convey meaning-we know
not how it may affect others, Blu. for our.
self, when we read the Constitution OF the
United States, we feel as surely as VIC
read, tina, slavery is there alluded TO, and
allowed 10 the States then in being, and
parties 10 the contract. The North re-
luctanlly yet certainly became joint &C.
tor in this crime against man. Let them
now, while it is today, rise up in their
power and wash their hands Of this thing!
Saying in manly, open, and consti!u-
,ioual republican mode, we will no longer
give the lie 10 the Declaration OF ITO
CJay's True American.

TEMPERANCE ODE.
The temperance shout is Iinging
In triumph through the air,
From every vac is bringing
The freed mans grateful prayer
The distant mount re-echoes
The victor's thrilling cry,
And sends the joyful anthem,
Up to the azure sky
The cry Of helpless orphans
Ring sadly on the ear,
The mothers bitter wallings
Demand the crystal tear;
The blood of friends departed
Calls loud on US, 10 save
Our country from oppresslon--
Our brethren from the grave,
Then rouse! we sons Of Freedom,
No longer bend the knee,
Strike off the CALLING letters,
And swear you will be free.
Come! join the mighty army,
Whose banner now's unfulled,
And spread its conquering pinions,
Triumphant Ger the world.
