JAMES G. BIRNEY'S LETTER.

We invite special attention to Mr.. Birney S
letter in another column. The letter was writ
ten for the " Albany Evening journal" but was
refused admission into that paper. 1t was then
sent to the g, Argus and inserted. We trust
that no one who reads this article will fail to
read the letter. 1t is worthy of the man, and is
an able and unanswerable reply to the charge so
often made against him and against the Liberty
party, of aiding in the election of Mr.. Polk to
the Presidency, and thus making themselves re-
sponsibIe for the annexation of Texas. The
course pursued by the Wing presses towards Mr.
Birney and the Liberty party, in originating and
reiterating these charges, is mean and ungentle
manly No honest, upright man would be gull
ty of such conduct. 1t was presumptous and in
sultng in the highest degree for any one to asl
an anti-slavery man to vote for Henry Clay
The abolitionists, without distinction, for year
past at their public Conventions, and through
their papers, have declared again and again, tina
STAKEHOLDER for any public office, and that the.
would not do it. To ask one to vote for slave
holder in such circumstances, would be equva
lent to telling him that you did not regard hin
as an honest, truthful man. 1--WE do not env
those professed Abolitionist who were thus com
plmented, and who, by voting for STAKEHOLDER
acknowledged the compliment to be justly Hen
ny Clay was net only stakeholder, but he wa
the man through whose instrumentaty perpet
ual slavery was fastened upon Arkansas, and t
whom we are indebted for the existence of sla
very in Missouri How presumptuous then t
ask the abotionists to vote for him By yield
ing to this request, they would give the lie t
their former professions of opposition to slavery
and violate their solemn and oft repeated pedg
to use their political power for its abolition.
The Liberty party at the late Presidential elet
ton acted like honest men. They did exact
as they said they would do. They acted openl
and above board They had declared to the N;
ton that Slavery was the great evil of the lane
and they had pledged themselves to vote again'
it al. every election, by voting only for such me
as would use their influence for its removal, an
when the election day came, they redeemed thel
pledge, like truthful men.
The Liberty party have always opposed tn
annexation of Texas. They were earnestly en-
gagged in exposing the iniquty OF this Texas bu
sness long before the Wings had began to Ioo

CENTRAL RAIL RoAD-The Boston Traveller
says the question is now settled that the Central
Road will be built, no mistake. The Ftchburg
Commissioners have reported unanimously in IA
vor of the Central or Montpelier, route, over
the Rutland and all others.
Boston and her Rdih0ays.-The Boston At
las of the I'd states that the funds are made up
to extend the Boston and Fitchburg Railroad to
Burlington, Vermont, and thence to Ogdensburg
is only 100 miles--total from the Upper Lakes
to Boston, 800 miles, while from Buffalo to
Boston is 525 miles. The tolls to the State of
N Y independent of freight from Buffalo to Al
bany is 30 cents, while cents is all that is paid
to let down the same barrel Of flour by the We'll
land Canal to Ogdensburgh. Such are the ad-
vantages of the Ogdensburgh route in grades
over the western railroad, that barrel of flour
may be carried from Ogdensburgh to Boston as
cheap as from Albany to Boston.
Northern or Lebanon Railroad-We under
stand the stock of this road is taken up with
earnestness, $500, 900 being already subscribed,
and the rest made certain The friends of the
route by Meredith, Plymouth, and Haverhil, are
also awake, and the project finding good de-
gree of favor. Gong. Journal, Concord N.

The Slaue- Trade Case--The trial of Cap
tain Flowery, of the Spitfre, closed on Saturday
Judge Spragues charge to the jury, occupied a
bout an hour, chiefly explaining the principles
of law, but carefully leaving the jury to decide
the whole case as to the facts They delibera-
ted about an hour, and then returned verdict
of guihy--a righteous verdict, beyond all doubt
II is. we believe, the first real conviction ever
obtained in the United States, under that law,
with all our ostentatious zeal against the slave
trade.
See if our saveholding president does not par
don the convict soon.

WHITE cHR1sT1ANITY.-'rhe colorcd Metho-
dists of Pitlsburg having lost their church IN
the late terrible calamity, the Smlthlield
church of the same order met to make ar
engagements for their accomodation.-The
Minister, Mr. White, proposed that they be
invited to take seats in the congregation. At
this there was a great uptuning ofChristan
white noses, and it was finally agreed to ask
their colored brethren and sisters in Christ
to take seats in the gallery! These fastidious
disciples had better send before them re-
quest to have gallery put up for the niger
brethren in the New Jerusalem, or we fear
their eternity will be very uncomfortable, for
we have no authentic account of any such
accommodations there now

SEMI-WEEKLY TRlBUNE.-We have received
two numbers of this paper, published by Greedy
and McElrath, ut the office of the Daily and
Weekly Tribune, N. Y. City. 1t is beautifully
printed on good paper, and on new type. 1t is Of
fered at the low price of IS per single copy, or
two copies for IS. The Tribune is one of the best
papers for literary intelligence and news of the
day, on our exchange list. We have only one OBJ
lection to it, viz; its bitter opposition to the Lib
erty party and the one sided view it takes of its
principles.

IPThe annual Convention of Congregation al
Ministers and Churches in this state, will meet at
Danvile on Tuesday next A delegate was
appointed by the Presbyterian General Assembly
that met at Cincinnati last month and passed res
olutions that Slavery was not sin and ought moi
to be matter of discipline in the church, to attend
this Convention. We look with interest to see
whether our Vermont ministers will by their
silence sanction those resolutions, or utter an in
dlgnant protest against them.
