A FUGITIVE SLAVE.

We have just received a call from an Agent
from Charleston, s. G.. 1t is only twenty one
days since he left that place. His name is Fran
els S~hoemake, about 20 years of age and appears
very intelligent. He didnot come by the espe-
cial direction ofthe governor but on his own hook.
The narration of his escape and sufferings is vo-
ry interesting. He escaped by secreting him
self in a vessel and was not discovered until a
short time before he reached Providence, R. l.
The Captain then gave him a few lashes and told
him he would take him back, but the sailors as
sisted him in getting away. He was five days g.
nights without food, previous to his being discov-
vered. 't ra -f..

Mr.. HoLcoMB. Week before last we pub
lshed an article from Mr.. Seely, in reply to GER
tain charges made against him by Mr.. Holcomb
in the Voice of Freedom. We did so very re-
luctantly, lest it should open afresh a lamentable
controversy but Mr.. Seely assured us that, as
he was shut out of the Voice, there was no other
place where he could be heard, and that he
would ask US to publish nothing more on the
subject. Accordingly, we obeyed the Golden
Rule. The week before the article was publish
ed, Mr., Holcomb was in our office, and we urged
him to take the communication and publish it in
his paper, where the charges were made, and
then he could commeut upon it as he saw ft,---
This he refused to do, but said he should call up
on us, if we published Mr.. Seely's article, to pub
lish his reply. We told him distinctly we could
not if he chose to shut his own columns to an
article which properly belonged there, he could
not complain of us. In admitting the article Of
Mr.. Seely, e espoused neither side of the con-
%troversy, but simply gave a hearing to one who
felt aggrieved. Mr.. Holcomb now calls upon us
to give him a hearing, and alludes to matters that
have no connection with this affair. He has his
reply. H ..- .. gt

To Town and County Committees.

We are happy tobe able to announce to Lib
erty town and county committees, that the Rev.
N. DAY, of Ferrisburgh, may be obtained to lee
ture in the anti-slavery cause, by applying to him
at Vergennes, and pledging him his support. Mr.
Day will, if desired, give a course of lectures in
a township, or 60 through "a county. We earn
estly hope that, as the State Committed have de-
termined not to send out lecturers upon their
own responsibility, the friends who feel interest
ed will be prompt in securing the services Of Mr. D..
that he may be continually employed in the State
for the year to come. We learn that the friends
in Addison County, where Mr. D. is best known,
are DESTROYS that he should visit every town and
certainly, all who heard,his thrilling appeal to the
ministers and churches at the late Randolph
Convention, will need no further stimulus to a.
vail themselves of this opportunity. 10y. '.

Gov. Edwards has p%ardoned the Abolitionist,
Work, who wa. sentenced to the Penitentiary
about three years since, for assisting in the es-
cape of negroes from Marion County. His.pun-
ishment was fixed at nine years. There are two
Others, sentenced at the same time for the same
offence, who will probably remain until the ex-
~piration of their time. In the case of Work it
is stated, that he has manifested proper contri-
ton for his offence, and as he has a wife and
several clliIdren-one of which he has never
seen-public opinien will sanction and Justify
the |clemency of the Governor. 1t is to be hop

course deserve places within them. st. Louis

Texas.

In the present aspect of the Texas question,
the Wings seem determined to vent all their NAL
ice and Indignation upon the Liberty party, which
but a short time since they were loud in denounc-
ing as too insignificant to deserve a passing notice,
as it could never be large enough to accomplish
any thing. Now they attempt TO make out that
if Texas is annexed, if the territory of Slavery
is enlarged and its stakes strengthened, the Lib
erty party is the prime mover, the victims upon
whose heads direfuI calamities and unheard OF
judgements will fall, because they were not fools
enough to abandon every moral principle and be-
tray the citadel of %4iberty into the hands Of
Henry Clay. The Devil we are told, often pass
es for an Angel, by stealing his robe, and never
have we had a better illustration of this truth,
than in the course pursued by the wing party for
a short time past, i'll attempting to prop up their
sinking cause by fair professions of attachments
to freedom, at the same time laboring to appease
the anger of the God of Slavery by imnolating
the Liberty party by trying to cover up their
mlsdeeds with the filthy rags of party meanness,
such as f%orgeries, lies and every thing else that
men and fiends could invent, to blacken the char
acter of one of the purest of men, that the con-
trast between him and their own Bloody candid
ate might not be SO obvious. They are now whin-
ing about, because Liberty men did not help them
and thus save our Country from the evils we fear
are about to come upon us. What nonsense.
Who, but the idol of their party, affirmed,
that personally he had no objection to the annex
alton of Texas, but should be glad to see it done
on peaceable terms, slavery being no objection
whatever -! And because we would not vote for
such a man, are we to be branded as the
perpetrators of this foul scheme A? "a, .r 81 b.
Who but Brown, a good wing, assisted by
seven of his coadjutors, brought forward and suS-
tanned the present bill for annexation which has
created so much alarm and commotion ! The
very men, the wings told us before election,
would die, before they would assist in perfecting
this scheme now we are told that they always
expected the southern wings would go for it
Let democrats take a large share of the blame
on themselves, for they deserve. it having admit
ed an element into their party, which is at wal
with every article in their creed, and which has
already eaten up every valuable principle in their
party. The rest of the blame belongs to the
wings. Liberty men have no part or lot in the
matter, they have acted consistent with their
principles, maintained their integrity, and by 50
doing, have made the south already admit that it
was the $500 Liberty votes that have made the
south tremble and kept Texas out ofthe Union
until the present time. The wings then have prov.
ed traitors'ih not helping us put an end to, the
diab6lical scheme. I.t -afat n ja i-#r
