slavery-and with the restoration of his health,
resume the publication of the True American
in Lexington---FREE We like the following
suggestion of the Pittsburgh Gazette Boston
Chronicle
Will the True American" stop! IfCassius
n. Clay is the man we take him to be, it will
not. He can still publish his paper at Lexington.
The printing can be done at Cincinnati, and the
papers mailed there; but Mr.. Clay can have his
editorial Office in Lexington, can have his paper
dated there, and can make it to all intents and
purposes a Kentucky paper, just as well as if
printed on the spot The expense will be a lit
tie more, but the friends of emancipation will
sustain him. Let him go on; then, ana when
the mobocrats of Lexington wish to abate the
nuisance, they will have to remove him!
LATER FROM G.. M. CLAY-The Voice of
Freedom published the following note from Mr..
Neale, the printer of the True American, which
seems to countenance the idea that Mr.. G. M.
Clay has abandoned his enterprise. We hope
not.
Lexington, Aug. %, lS45.
Dear Sir--Your long and interesting letter
has been received Before the receipt of this,
you will probably have learnt that the True
American Office was, on Monday last, mobbed
by the minions of the slave power. Your re-
mttance of 50 is therefore returned. Mr.. Clay
is not at home, having just risen from a spell Of
severe sickness of months continuance, and
gone to the Springs When the violence was
committed upon Ills office, he was lying com
pIeteIy PROSTATE.
Respectfully, w. L. NEALE,

friends in the several towns will take hold of the work
in earnest AS an nducement to encourage the friends
we propose to send the Freeman the coming wear to
every town where they will double their present list for
$1,33 year, in advance. Who that loves the cause
will not make an effort to secure the Freeman at this
low rate?

THE EASTERN CONVENTION.

The time for the Great Eastern Convention at Bos-
ton is drawing near; are the friends of Freedom in
Vermont ready for it? Are they prepared to show
their attachment to Liberty by making whatever sac
rfce in time or money may be necessary to attend this
commingng of congenal spirits, this mighty gather
ing of warm and generous hearts, and show by the in
teres felt and by the number of delegates that may be
present, that Vermont will not yield the palm to any
other State in her hatred of tyranny and oppression, and
in her love ofhbery and right? The Convention will
be an important one, and will richly repay any one
hundred fold for all the trouble of attending it We
shall make our arrangements to be present and hope to
at least 100 ofthe tried friends of humanity in eve
ry part of our State there

INDEPEN tENT ACTION

We have been repremanded by not few, and threat
ened with the loss of some Of subscribers because
we oppose sin high places with to much bodness and
decision especially in relation to the Church and min
istry. We thank God that we were not made to be
SLAVES to any party sect but to look at truth and right
from whatever it may come, and to attack sin
in all its FORMS whether it appears under the pano-
ply of the gospel and seeks to conceal itself under the
altar of God whether it unbushngly stalks abroad
at MONDAY and with bold front tramples upon Jeho
vahs authority 1t is mistaken idea that the church
prospers most when its sins most faithfully
ceaed-that ministers are most respected their inu
ence most felt when their faults are most carefully hid
and their Inconsistencies are kept out of sight
The position we occupy, is one of momentous re-
sponsiblity, and need more than human wisdom to
direct Alright, but we trust we shall never be left to
lower the standard, set up by Savior to win the ia
vor OF the bgoted sectarian the sensual earthlng
We have counted the cost and are prepared for any
mergency When we compelled to go down the pop
uar current with the multitude and sacrifice truth and
principle to please any party sect to obtain subsist
ance, we shall abandon our present position, for we
prefer to beg starve rather than refuse to expose sin
In high places, well in ow in the church as well
as well as out oft. We have no compromise to make
with sin, but in Gods name, and by his assistance,
we mean TO do all in power to drive it from its
strong holds, wherever crosses path opposes the
progress of truth and righteousness. We call upon
y man, who is not coward and afraid to have his own
sins or the sins of his denominations or patty exposed to
aid lis in this work.

RESULT OF ELECTION.

The returns have not come in as soon as we antici-
pated, and we are compelled to wait until another
week before footing them all up and giving the ex-
act result. The liberty vote has increased well in
nearly every town where any thing has been done it is
in those towns where the friends have been sumberng
and the enemy has been active, that our vote has
fallen off The vote so far has increased more than IS
per cent the last Sept election and than 40 per
cent on the Presidential vote. Our relative gain is
more than 60 per cent on the Nov. election. This
is doing WELL but we willtry to do better next year.
number of towns are deserving of great praise for
the efforts they have made in circulating papers and
tracts-a largely increased vote is the result. The
vote of the other parties has greatly fallen off, espe-
cially the Wings Slade will probably lack more
than 1000 votes of an election by the people,
In the House. of 207 towns already heard FROM there
are II Liberty members, 81 Wings, 50 Democrats, l
Independent and 80 towns no choice. Last year, eth
same towns stood, Liberty 8, Wing ITO, Democrat, 81
no choice 80.
The Wings have elected their Senators from Gale
donia, Franklin Chittenden, Rutland, Addison, Ben
nngton, Windsor, Grand ISLE and Orleans counties
%; The Democrats have elected their candidates il
Washington, Onngeand Lamoille counties-6. Noye'
the Democratic candidate in Lamoille county is elect
ed by Is or 20 majority over Dodge the Liberty can
ddate. Essex county to be heard from. Last yea
the same counties stood 20 Wings, 8 Democrats.
Let Liberty men be of good courage for at our pres
ent rates ofncrease, Vermont will soon be redeemed
from the control of the pro-slavery parties.

THE MOB ANDITs FRUITS.

The following paragraphs fromthe New Haven Cou-
rer throw additional light upon the state of society at
Lexington
ave saw yesterday letter from gentleman now
in LcXngento friend in this city dated August 50th
which speaks Of the intense excitement prevailing in
consequence of recent events which have transpred
there. From this source we derive the information that
portion of the citizens Or Lexington have formed
themselves into band termed the Regulators paint
ed and disguised as Indians and threaten to drive
ry free black from the city and country. Their first
depreciation was committed on the night of the 10Th
inst, when they took black preacher, stripped and
whipped him, and afterwards gave him coat Of tar and
feathers. Every man feels it necessary to 90 armed in
sef-deience, and an obnoxious word or sentiment ex-
poses one to the fury Of the popuace TO make this
fact appear fully, the writer states that two veal

dslgreeing upon some matter connected with the late
disturbance pistols were Immediately drawn, and would
have been used but for timely explanation"
Ihe letter states that the worst passions Of the null
titude wrought upon in relation to the True
American and G. NJ Clay, that at the time Of the Con
vention it needed but the word of any one of the ora
tors on that occasion to have produced the most dreul
results even to the shedding Of blood. AS denunca-
tons and anthems fell from the lips Of the speakers
the yels which the multitude sent forth were such as
language would fail to describe, the mind Of man
hardly to conceive Of

Grmofui TriJmtr.-We do not know exactly
how much our imprisoned, but not forgotten
brother Cdarlcs r. Torry, is allowed to know
of what passes in this outer wcrld. But of all
the expressions of sympathy, admiration, and
gratitude, that are put forth concerning him. we
doubt if any will be more touching than the fol-
lowing editorial, from the Elevator, a spirited
paper published by citizens of color in Philade-
pha:----
"7cU titan to go on. Mot long since we
called up,n our imprisoned friend Torrey in the
Baltimore Jail. He urged us to "tell abolition
lists not to cease in single effort for the slaves
deliyerlnce while there remains single bond
man in the land, to tell them to 90 on!"
We scarce ever met drawer man, man less
moved by adverse circumstances, than Charles
T. Torrey Imprisonment had not covered down
his spirits; neither persuasion, nor taunts and
insults that had been heaped upon him, had
changed his determined opposition to oppres-
sion.
As he walked across the prison yard towards
us, we could see by the firmness of his step, and
his manly bearing, and closer to US, by the bold
expression Of his countenance, though the min
ions of slavery had him within their grasp. yet
that they could not awe the free spirit within
him. And his conversation showed that though
they might pen him up within prison walls, or
load him down with chains, yet the love of free
dom, which God had implanted in his heart
could not be e6faced
When anti-slavery men think for moment of
latcring in their great work, let them remember
Walkers branded hand, the Imprisonment of
Thompson, and Burr, and Torrcy, the tearing
down of free press in Kentucky by mob of
'property and standing"---all deeds of to-day;
let them remember the murdered Loveoy, the
burning of the Pennsylvania Hall, the murder
of DR. Crandall, the stripes of Dresser and the
! lynching Of Garrison and Thompson and others
and above all, let them remember the sghs and
tears and groans of the two and a half million
bondmen at the South, and then refuse if they
ean---if they dare, to act upon Torrey's request.
4 When these things are remembered, we believe
there is not one amongst us but will e:ho and
re-echo the rallying cry eve wiH go on"

his keepers, and have never received any com
munications from him-could not even get a
chance to speak with him when he was in Bos-
ton striving to seduce abotionist away from
their principles to the support of the man who
turned his back upon him in his utmost need
Bu' we hope he has yet his manhood unimpaired
and if so, he will burst the green withes with
which the Philistines bound him in his sickness

SYMPATHY FORC. VI. CLAY.

A meeting of the friends Of C.. NJ Clay" without
distinction party, called few days since in Pitts
burgh to give expression to their sentiments in view of
the forcbe suppression of the True American by al
mob Of gentlemen in the city of Lexington. Few ex-
cept Liberty men, responded TO the call A committee
appointed to draft resolutions to present at sub
scluent meeting, for adoption. One wing and one de-
mocrat were appointed on the Committeeman both
subsequently declined the appointment through the
papers. We expected nothing but sevile adhesion to
the Slave Power from the Democratic party-but the
wings have made such loud professions of anti-savery
ZEAL and had SO much to say few months since, in
commentator Of Casslls NJ. Clay, that we had right
to expect much better things of them than such pal
pable deserion Of c. NJ Clay in this hour of peril
However, it shows where their sympathes are-and,
after all, they but following the example of the
great embodiment" Henry Clay, who, instead of
standing by the man in his hour of peril who had sac
riccd so much for his sake, basely deserted him only
two days before the destruction ofthe press
In this connection we may remark, that it is nstruc-
tive to read the comments of the party press upon the
atrocious outrage at Lexington. The Democratic pa
pers, with scarcely exception, virtually justify the
mob, or at least, cast the principal blame upon c. NJ
Clay, while feebly rebukng the assault upon his office
The Norwich Aurora congratulates the citizens of
Lexington that they have so pedceaby provided for
their safety. The Times INDUCES in sneers against c.
NJ Clays cOlWGge-as if that quality were to be estna
ted by what man may do say, in compliance with
the opportunities ofrends, while Frustrated on bed
Of Sickness and assured by his physician that his dis
tease must terminate in his DEATH
The conduct ofthe wing press is but shade better
The Tribune, the Louisville Journal and few others,
havespoken out boldly in condemnation of the outrage
but the greater number either silent upon the
subject Or speak in manner that shows that they re-
gard MIR Clay as the guilty of the mob, and far
more deserving of censure than Tom Marshall and his
own rufians who destroyed the press. They are I'M
der bondage to slavery, and either dare not or will not
do anything that might offend the shareholders belong
ing to their party.
This is a poor return for the service which c. NJ
Clay rendered to the Wings last fall but may serve
to convince him how hopelessly pro-savery are the
leading influences of that party and that it is vain for
him to expect much sympathy from men who are the
servile tools oftho sayocracy.

A Sons MEDICATION OF HIS FATHER.-
A gentleman who has lately visited the bat
tie field of Lundy's Lane narrates the follow
ing in regard TO a son of the late Gen. Hull:
The height which Miller stormed is now
a graveyard. In its bosom repose, side by
side, and in peace till the great trump shall
sound, the remains of those who, on that
field, struck at each others life. A gener-
Gus warrior spirit gave to both equal honors
and a common grave. Among the dead Of
the day there buried, the name of Hull, a
captain in the American army, caught my
eve. He fell in the battle, in his Odd year.
as he desired to fall. He was the son of Gen.
Hull, who ANONYMOUSLY surrendered Detroit
at the commencement of the war, and was
sentenced to die a towards death. Deeply
did his %high-spirited son feel this stain upon
his name, and be sought for every opportu-
nifty Of washing it out, if need be, with his
hearts blood. He did wash it out; and
here, sword in hand, beneath his country's
flag, on the crown of the enemy's works, and
in the arms of victory he died!

Powell, a gallant officer of the British army, but
nova farmer, at an agricultu raj festival at Hay ,
upon the occasion Of the presentation to him Of
an honorary testimonial. In Col. Powell's speech
as reported in the Hereford Times, the following
passage occurs:
We often hear at public meetings observation
made relative to the condition Of the agricultural
labores of this kingdom, as compared with men
of their class in other %countrie s. aud some will
go go far as to say that our agricultural laborers
are better fed better clad. and better housed
than any others of their class abroad, and that
they generally get a hot dinner most DAYS of the
week. Now if these gentlemen who make these
assertions at these meetings, for political purpos-
ses, to deceive others, would only, when they
are taking their morning visits, see tn agricultu.
