EXECUTION OF JOHN p. HALE.

This tragedy came off with becoming soem-
nifty on Wednesday of last week John P Hale
has been made to suffer political martyrdom at
the hands of the High Priests of Democracy for
daring to have a pulsation of Liberty in advance
of the party. From the Council Chamber Roy
al here at the Capital, went forth the decree and
the summons, and 200 Democrats, good and
true, came up to aid and sanction the infamous
deed
And they made quick work of it. 1t was ev-
identity terrible act to the perpetrators them
selves. They could only shut their eyes and
dash madly through it. Somebody moved to
open with prayer. A desperate more. 1t was
nepatived instanter. Frederick the Great would
have no prayers in his army. He said War was
a business with which God had nothing to do
So, doubtless, thought the executioners of Hale
of what they were about. Prayers over deed like
that! Whoever would pray there would roast
and eat his mother, and task Blessing" ovel
the horrid repast.
Somebody by the name Of Woodbury. was no
minated in Hale'S stead. Little is known Of him
He is, doubtless, twin-brother in spirit to Lev
Woodbury., all collared and ready at the whistle
of his southern masters---a sine qua non for the
Office. Keen of scent, long of wind, sharp Of
fangs---these are the qualities that southern mas
tiers demand and expect. Nor are they dlsap-
pointed often, at least in this State There is nc

LETTER FROM r. V. MARSH.


Mr. George II. Beaman
Sill business engagements, as suggested to
You in private note the other day, have prevent
ed me from noticing until the present time, your
very genemany effuson of the Goth of December
last.
Self respect, and regard to those rules of pro-
priety which should govern cur mutual cores
pondencc and intercourse, would induce me to treat
with perfect silence your attempted reply to my
former letter, which reply is certainly remarka-
bic for its ugarty if not for its obsceny-and
must confess that, for time, hesitated AS to
what course to pursue or what duty required OF
me. But nasmuch, rs circumstances have placed
YOU in position as editor of newspaper, where
by you have the means of giving publicity and cir
culaton to whatever you are disposed TO say OF
write and, as you have raised the question olive
racity between us, my silence might be construed
into an implied admission of the truth of those de
iberate fasehoods and misrepresentation in which
you have been disposed to indulge, | have reluct-
anily, concluded to notice what, otherwise, might
he treated in far different manner.
In doing this, have not the vanity TO suppose
we are placed on terms of equality. ! have no
''fsh-women" to introduce to your readers, having
formed no such acquaintance. | have no fancy
pictures with, or without coloring to exhibit, In
these little matters of taste acknowledge your SUI
periority--you stand unrvalled and alone! The
very words in which you describe these delicate
and interesting characters-in which you cloihe
your thoughts and sentiments, discover your won
dertu power Of invention. They nre literally
"Words so debased aud hard, no stone
Is hard enough TO touch them on"
Besides, you have the privilege Cor power) as
editor of saying the last word, and you have seen
fit to exercise this privilege by having The last
word in the very paper in which my letter
appears. You cannot even permit that arti-
Gle, of one column in length, (atter delaying il
for two or three weeks) to 90 before your readers
for one short week, or even a moment, with fan
chance of obtaining their candid unprejudiced o.
piniOn, but you must seek to influence or foresta

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The democrats, Of late, have given abundant
lproot that the support of slavery constitutes
the life and soul ofthe party. Where are the an.
tl-slaVely men of the party who have made great
professions of love for freedom and equality2 Are
they dead or gone to Texas3 Will honest men be
forever deceived by appearances and devour their
own principles, for the worst of purposes, that
their own party may be built up at the expense of
100000 suffering slaves, and the ruined pros
poets and bghed hopes of our whole land. De-
mocIacy has lost all the charms it ever possessed,
since it has been disgraced and outraged by par
ly assuming the name, but denying every princi-
pie in its creed, and belieing all its high-toned
professions. lis time the mask was torn off, that
all may see the corruptons and hypocrisy of a
party that has sold itself to the slave power to riv-
ct the chains of slavery still tighter and extending
the hateful curse over millions of acres acquired
by meanness andtreachcry enough to disgrace hell
itself, and then glory in tsshame. How long will
the honest democrats Of Vermont give their sup
port 20 Il party that is dead to the claims of hui
manily and cNIl0uS to all the II ,best feelings of
lenlightened and liberty-Ioving freemen? We saw
not this of the whole party, for there are manJ
who are honest, but have been duped by the party
leaders, some Of whom have recently given fearful
evidence that they would destroy the rights of
their countrymen and burn up the Temple of Lib
erty that our fathers reated for much less than
thirty pieces OF silver, if they could get a paltry
Office by it. viii not un indignant people hurI
these men from places Of honor and trnst and sup1
I ply their places with men who will not dsgrard
the very name democracy, by propping up the tot
tcring fabric of slavery, and engaging in the dirty
business Of anneXng the slavcry-curscd territory
Of Texas, Only two democrats in the House had
courage enough To resist the scheme to the last
and these have been dropped by the party and
their names hlarkpned with the rcproach ard in|
fanny OF all The leaders. Not one in the Senatd
had hardihood enough TO resist the cncroachmpnt.
of slavery and refuse To brow down to the dictates
Of southern de>pots. What democratic editor ha.
dared recently to speak out against the course
they have pursued, or call them To an account; the
member from our own district inculed-for the
base perverSon Of the trust rcposed in hcm.hJ
their constituents Shall these things last forcvrrE
Speak, you who have heart aud courage euoug
to cast off the yoke o slavery and stand up in It'd
dignity of a freeman!

to action. Wake up, you who have been slum-
,berng; strike now for freedom! The crisis has
come and the struggle will soon be over. Slavery
or Liberty will gain lasting ascendancy. Re-
member that your vote or your influence may set
lie the question. Stand finn to your post, what
ever may oppose. Hold meetings in every part
of your town, and put tract newspaper into
the hands of every man, woman & child, who will
read. Keep the ball moving and the leaven at
work, until the curse is removed.

From the Baltimore Republican.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
OREGON

| The following resolution is one OF the series
offered by Mr. Butler, of New York, in the Balti-
more Democratic Convention, on the morniop
of The 30lh of May, 1914, and which with the
whole series offered, was passed by unanimous
vote:
"Resolved, That our title TO the WHOLE
IF The territory Of Oregon is clear and ungues
tionGbte; that no portion of the same ought to be
coded to England or any other Power, and that
the reoccupation of Oregon and the re annexation
of Texas, at the earliest practicable period, are
great American measures, which this Convention
recommends to the cordial support of the demu-
cracy of the Union"
But says the New York Express, the National
lnteIIigencer and other Wing prints, it is
positive untrnlh to say that the resolution cited
above adopted at the Baltimore Convention
1t may appear so upon the record. bot il is not s.,
in fact " Now these respectable Wing prints
cannot for one moment suppose that even the most
blinded OF their own party, will be simple enough
to believe such barefaced assertions, ur dare reie
rate and re- echo such palpabIe falsehood On
the morning that Mr.. Butler offered these reso
| lulons, including the above, the Hall, where the
! Convention sat to deliberate and transact the i'm
portant business, which had brought them TO-
gether, was crowded with a dense mass of snyc
tatOTs of all parties and we venture the assertion
that no man who was there, can be found WIN

ton to stand by, and support the sentiments which
they embodied. But say these respectable. psyn-
cioUs Wing papers. great bodies Of the so.called
| Democratic party then, and ever since. have
practically repuJlaed the doctrines of this resolu
ton" When men tell fasehuods which have
the appearance Of truth, they may succeed in
making the ignorant and unwary believe what
they say ; but when they assert what every man
knows to be false, they are generally set down by
every person, either as knages or fools Where
or when, since resolutions or doctrines were ever
put forth by any man or body Of men, have thew
been received, adopted and endorsed more EN-
pbatcally, than these resolutions Of the Baltimore
Convention, have been in the election of James
