For the Green Mountain freeman.

A'i 'le 1feeh Mountain Freeman
Messrs POLAND & BRIeGs Enclosed YOU will
ma one dollar IN part payment for the Green Noun.
tam Freemen,--please direct to Monkton About
year ago | was taking your excellent paper. when
friend HOlcumb of the Voice of Freedom c,lIoa an
me and wished me to take his paper Saving that he
was greatly in debt in consequence of what he had
done in the anti slavery cause told him that was
taking the Freeman, and that could not well afford
to take both. His reply was that the Freeman had
large list of subscribers the east side of the Noun
tam but that he had to depend mostly on the friends
on TINS side Of the mountain for his support finally
concluded to stop the Freeman and take the Voice
and did SO. also spent some time with Mr. Holcomb
IN obtaining subscribers to his paper took an agency
Oy MS fequeSt and have taken his paper up to the
present ume' and have read Annunciation No. and 2
and thought would Immediately stop the paper. But
when read in his paper that he intended entering
the wing camp, with his anti slavery medicine chest
ready to deal out the article as occasion NAV reou;re
sweetcnmg with the sugar of self interest as the
pure spirit Of anti slavery about as obnoxious to most
men as pure alcohol isto the child" thought that if
there was any prospect ofhis pgng Or purifying that
party, would still continue act as his agent and still
take his paper For consider the Wing party to be
perfectly hypocrtical as party. They profess to be
the liberty party the only real friends of emancipation:
honest consistent abotonists They profess to be as
much opposed to slavery as any body; but what is their
practice. To begin with, they voted for man for
PRESIDENT who said that he knew there was dogma
at the North that Negro slaves were not property hut
said he, that is property that the law makes propertv
Two hundred years legislation has sanctioned and
sanctifed Negro slavery"
In the next place they show their hvpocricv hv W.
ting for man for President who said that neither If
inc great political parties had any idea of aboshng
slavery, and he rejoiced that they had not ~tl
The Wing party profess to be greatly opposed to the
annexation Of Texas, because say they it will fasten
slavery on US forever but they show themselves to he
perfectly hypocrtica in this natter for thew voted for
man for President, who said, 81 have however M
hesitation in saying that far from having anv personal
oOeotionS to the annexation ofTexas should be glad
to see lt-without dishonor without war; with the COM
mon consent of the Union upon Just and fair terms:
DO not think that the subject of slavery ought to effect
the question one way or the other Whether Texas
be independent Or Incorporated in the United States,
do not believe it will proong or shorten the duration
OF that institution 1t is destined to become extinct at
some distant day in my opnlon by the operation of
the inevitable laws of population. 1t would be unwise
to refuse permanent acquisition which will exist as
long as the Globe remains on account of temporary
institution"
Again, the Wing party show themselves to be per-
ecty hypocrltca on the question of extending slave
territory For during the last Congress of the United
States, they admitted Florida into the Union, as
slave State, with the most abominabe Constitution
that ever dsgaced any State with only nine opposing
votes, in Wing Senate. But say the Wings, Henry
Clay declared long ago that every pusaton of his heart
beat in favor of human freedom What should we
think OF the man who was manufacturing and vending
rum, constantly, and himself drunk daily; declaring
that every pusaton of his heart beat in favor of ten
perance-that he was hypocrte, of course said
above II there was any prospect of friend Holcomb's
getting his anti slavery pills down the Threats of his
"alies the Wing" in sufficient quantities to purify
them of pro-savery, would still act as aren't for him
and still take his paper; but see no evidence of any
such thing; but think see evidence in his paper
that he himself has been swallowing Wing pills for
see that he SANDERS and abuses such men as R. "
Marsh, Esq, the Rev. C. C. Briggs, and other anti
slavery men as the Wing party do Alvan Stewart,
James G. Bnney and other liberty men. Like the
Wings, his object seems to be to njure and destroy
liberty men and the liberty party, think he has caught
instead of curing their prosayery disease therefore
wish through your paper to inform friend Holcomb that
want his papar no longer neither can act as his
agent longer; but would invite him to call at his
earliest convenience that accounts may be adus-
ted. Bad
hope our liberty friends and frien1 Holcomb's "al
lies the Wings" will contribute literally to relieve
him of his anti slavery embarrassment
Yours, COLES COOK.
