ORGANIZATION,

Now is the time to form Liberty Associations in
every town in the State. Nothing can be accom-
plished except by united, rigorous action. The
warfare cannot be carried on successfully by an oc-
casonal lecture in the villages; the 'wach-fres
must be kept up by visiting the district school
houses for evening dscuSsions-by circulating
tracts and anti slavery papers--by every liberty
man becoming lecturer in his own neighhorhood,
and wherever an opportunity is offered to speak
for the dumb. To do this efectunly it is necess-
ary to have some kind of an organization to circu-
late Liberty pledges, so that it may be known who
are on the side of Freedom to appoint commit
tees in every school district to distribute tracts,
and keep on the lookout in regard to the lies and
forgeles of the other parties. This business
should be attended to Immediately. There was
never a better time to labor for the slave than the
present. The wings are dismayed aud dscourag-
ed--the democrats, many of them, are Disguised
with the movements of the party, and are only
waiting for an opportunity to abandon it. Let
Liberty men " strike while the iron is hot" for
every blow that is struck now will break at
least one chain. Concentrate your energies, or
/ gdulZe your loTCeS anu give slavery at lcuSt OHS
blow that will drive it back to its prmeval home,
/ s. ill the regions of woe with unutterable anguish
The following will do for a Constitution, il
nothing better can be found.
The undersigned male citizens of the town Of
in the county of for the pur'
pose OF aiding in the overthrow of slavery in the
United States, agree to form Liberty Association
under the government of the following Constitu
ton.
ART. I've whose names are attached to th
Constitution, pledge ourselves that we will vot'
for no person for any Legislative, Judicial, or Elk
ecutive office, who is STAKEHOLDER, pro-slavery
or belongs to pro-slavery party.
ART. 2.-The officers of this Association shall
be, central committee of three, one of whom
shall be secretary, who shall be elected annually
or hold office until their successors be elected.
ART. S.--The central committee shall call meet
ings, divide the town into sections, and appoint
sub committee of two to labor in each section an
obtain pledges, or days of labor to be spent in tn
/ anti slavery work.
. ART. 4.--Each sub committee shall labor froI
house to house, obtain signers to anti slavery pc
ttons, and to this Constitution, hold conversation
with each family, remove objections, circulat
tracts and papers, and collect such sums as may
f designated per month, by each sgner to this Con
I stituton and to pay the same to the central CON
miuee, to purchase tracts and other things.
! ART. 5.--The central committee shall furnis
i tracts, petitions, and other necessary papers an
c documents at the expense of the Association, an
see that the sub committees do their duty, or tn;
others be appointed in their places

not be annexed to Texas or let, even, Massachu-
sets and Vermont so say, and who could carry or
drive them there All they want is decision, Lei
them strike for freedom as herfalhers did, and they
will never yield 10 the Tyler and Calhoun conspGa-
cy. Let them act like men. who are governed by
principle, and they will not act alone.
The Empire State will be with them, so will Ohio
and all North of Dixons line, and Kentucky, and
Western Virginia, aud Maryland and Delaware,
and probably even Tennessee. What shame then
for any one State to be dragged off TO the land of per-
petual Slavery, Cowardly souls must those be, who
lamely consent to be chained and kicked when they
could with one manly effort break the chains and
hurl them at the oppressors Shall it ever be said
that the descendants of the Green Mountain Boys
have become so base in spirit So fearful hearted, as
TO lie down in sloth and let the shareholders of the
South drag them off to Texas. If they have sunk
so low, they ought, they and their children, to be
transported to Texas, and be made hewers Of wood
and drawers of water. This must not be, and il
need not be. The North need mol be kicked about
like football by the South. They have the pow.
er in their ov hands, and craven souls they mus
be, If they do not use 1t. Let them discard at once
their party feuds, and resolve that they will Meth.
er be coaxed nor driven to Texqs,-that they will
not be chained and sold to the Texans. Let then
do this, and then see who can chain them. VIVA
say you, fellow citizens of Vermont Will you bow
your necks, and submit 10 Southern dictation, o.
will you maintain the Freedom and independence
Of your own native State Let every man, wht
has a soul resolve in his own mind what he will do
can remember when wise men thought, that Yer
mont had better remain free and Independent
State rather than join the Union. And if the I'm
ion must be governed by the slave. power, and hitch
ed on to Texas, then, say, it is time for Vernon
to take care of herself. protest against the lyle
conspiracy.

MEssRs EDIToEs Il am glad TO see in the Free
man, Dec. 10Th, the letter of S. T. Bayey respect-
ing his slave catching in this State. The subject
has been involved in mystery though | have sus-
pected, that vany was involved. The letter pre-
sents the facts and shows that the laws of this state
have been deliberately violated, and a free person
and carried off into slavery. 1t appears,
from his own statement, that that the Shareholder
from Georgia brought into State a slave, and
thus virtually made her free-that she left his serv-
ice, as she had legal right 10 do-that he ascer-
tanned where she was, went with a friend, re-tOOk
her, and conveyed her 10 BALTIMORE he was
pursued through Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut by the Abolitionists, but was saved by
few faithful friends, that on his return he and
his friend (Co Samuel Nutt,) was arrested for kid
nappng-and that they were discharged for want o.
proof, that his servant was forced away against he
will. By his own testimony it appears, that sale
BayIey and his friend Mutt re-took and carried of
from this State free woman as slave, that hi
was pursued as a eon, that he was aided and as
sisted by faithful friends, that he and his lrienC
Mutt escaped the State Prison because it was no
proved that the woman, who had left his service
was not willing 10 return again into slavery. !

FOR THE FREEMAN.
MEssRs. EDITORS The clouds thcken and the
winds begin to rise. Subjects of vital importance
10 the nation are coming up, and must be disposed
off, Every sober man, who is capable of reflection,
should pause, reflect, and make up his mind how to
act act, not under the impulse of party excitement,
but cooy deliberately and persevereingly, for lib
ertY for his country and for his God. If the slave
power is resolved to ,rample on the Constitution,
and to annex Texas, with all its debts disgrace, and
crimes to the Union, every man should be ready to
take his stand, amemely bare his neck, or resolve to
be free. Slave holders will unite to carry out and
perpeluale their system of slavery will do any
thing to maintain and extend their ascendancy in
our national counsels. Shall we. like slaves, yield
to their diclation, or resist like men? The free
States have only TO say to the South THUS far
hast thou come, but no further shall thou come >
and they would yield the point. Or if God has doom.
ed them to destruction, and they should be resolved
TO join Texas and form a new contederacy, let them
depart in peace as soon as they please. There are
spirits that had rather rule in hell than serve in
Heaven. II such spirits choose TO draw the line o
demarcatOn, they may drawilas soon as they please
commence their reign, and glory in their own in

debts, or share in their disgrace, or criminaity-

if they choose. They must abide the consequence

A HINT TO FARMERs---A writer in the
Hampshire Gazette, after giving an account
Of several large crops Of corn, says there is
mo secret in raising a large cropof corn
All that is necessary is, to have your land IN
good condition, and have faith that it will
gy010, and Sho1o your faith by your ac0rhs:
that is, by planting IT, To expect large
crop of corn while your hills are a sabbath
days journey apart and the rows not neal
onongh for neighbors, is, SO far as my expe-
rienco or observation has extended, not to be
expected. Tie philosophy Of the thing is
this;if your corn is thick, you get four stalks
to the bill, with eacha large ear. If thin
(that is, if the hills are far apart) the food
for plants in the soil throws up a large growtE
of suckers to each hill without any ears.
