ruE FRIENDS or LIBERTY N VERMONT;

10 THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY IN VERMONT:
The undersigned, having been appointed
State Committee for the year ensuing, by the con-
vention recently holden at Randolph, would say
few words by way of discharging their duty to
their Liberty friends throughout the State.
Your committee have concluded that. under
existing circumstances, or at least for the pres
ent, it is inexpedent for them to employ salared
agents to traverse the state The necessity of
such agents is being done away, as the people are
becoming acquainted with the principles and
measures of our organization these are
well known, at least by that class that would or
dinarily be reached by lecturers travelling hastily
over the state. What we need especially at the
present time, is, such an efficient organization in
every town and school-district in the State, and
such lucid and thorough application of Liberty
Truth to the heart Of every man, woman and
child, that the simple may understand, and the
most selfish and bgoted be brought to feel and
acknowledge its claims. To this end, in accor-
dance with resolve of our late State Conven-
ton, we would recommend that each County
Committee see to it Immediately, that active and
vigilant committees are appointed in each town,
who will also appoint subcommittee in each
school district, and take immediate steps to hold
meetings as often as may be, in their several dis
hicts, where the various aspects Of the slavery
question may be Familiarity discussed, and the re-
sponsibilites and duties of each individual fully
brought to view, tracts andpapcrs be distributed;
and the necessary means put in requisiton for
the creation of healthy and vigorous moral and
political anti-slavery tone. In this way deep
seated conviction may be speedily produced upon
the minds ofcommunity, that will tell upon the
destruction of the vile and abominable institution
of American Slavery, and the salvation of jeop-
arded Liberty smothered Humanity, and cor
ruped Religion.
Will the several county committees attend to
this matter heartily and without delay-procure
tracts, (Which are now literally furnished by the
State Tract Committee and see that they are
put into the hands Of such men in each town as
will circulate them in every nook and corner Of
their town. and call, attend and address school
district meetings? The responsibility is thrown
upon the county and town committees--they
know the peculiar wants and circumstances Of
their localities best,-and we urge them, in be.
half of of our suffering brethren in bonds, of our
own periled rights, of all that is dear to us in
time and eternity, to respond heartily to this
