We, the people of Stowe in order to form more
perfect system of action to establish justice insure do
nestle tranquility promote the general welfare and Sc
cure the blessing of equal rights to ourselves and
posterity, form ourselves into Joint and reciprocal fra
temity, called the Stowe Mutual and Moral Associa-
ton, for reasons hereinafter stated
LIST. Courts of justice were instituted to protect the
people in their persons and property against the VIC
ence, fraud, Or dishonesty of wicked men;-they were
to be regarded the ultimate resort in securing those
rights and privileges which are unjustly withheld
They were not created for objects of oppression anC
tyranny for the accumulation of expenses in the or
binary transactions of business When legal proceed
ngs or courts Of JUSTICE are resorted to- in the ordina
ry course Of business, the government of force take
the place of honesty, integrity, and the sacredness
moral obligations, and promises overlooked, conf
dence is hence wanting, and men look to Legislative
enactments and the machinery of government to ere
ate public confidence and general prosperity rattle
than to private virtue,
2nd. 1t is well known fact to every individual
that the administration of the civil law, Tor all iudica
proceedings, are attended with so much cost, tina
courts of justice do not effect the object DESIRED bu
only favor the rich and Cypress the poor, The poo
stand no chance in the County or Supreme Courts, O
account of the expense of prosecution necessarily at
tendant on long protracted contest, without any Sc
curiy when or how it will finally terminate and there
fore obliged to surrender their rights without al
tempting the guaranty of law,

than the sums in dispute;the holding of the trial c
parties far removed from the place where the matter

From the Boston Chronicle
A WORD FOR WINGS.

Q.) Henry Clay left Lexington to 90 "to the
springs of Virginia, for his health just in the
crisis of the late conflict, leaving his protege to
struggle singe-handed with his fierce assailants
(2) John B. Clay, the son OF Henry Clay,
living in the same house with him, and for whom
Cassius M. Clay stood as second in contem-
plated duel, not two years ago, was the secretary
of the COMMITTEE of sixty" who lawlessy sci.
zed and removed the press, and in that capacity
signed the report of the proceeding.
49, The presiding officer of the mass meet
ing, Walter Bullock, is Wing; the "committet
of sixty" was made up Unfortunately of boil
parties, and not solitary Wing was found il
Lexington to take bold stand by the side o
the champion of libcrty-to stand or fall witt
him. "''
(4) All the Wing papers of New England
SO far as we have noticed, either wholly omit til,
notice of the concluding exercise-the triumph
al oration-or at least suppress the statement Q
its drift and subject matter. We give it, from
the Louisville Journal, Wing paper:
We left Lexington before the holding of tn
two o'clock meeting, but we learn that it wa
quite large. Old Gov Metcalf addressed it il
a fiery and eloquent speech of an hour and
half most triumphantly vindicating the Viii
party against the charge sometimes brought a
gainst it by some of the vilest of its opponents
of being leagued with the abotionists.
(5.) 1t Is striking proof of the power whic
shareholders exercise in behalf of slavery thai
although in the beginning of the late affair, th
move was made by those who we're known a
the personal and political enemies of c. M, Cla

THE KENTUCKY OUTRAGE.

In another column, we have given pretty full ac-
count of one of the most dsgraceu assaults of mobo
cratic violence upon free discussion that dsgaced
our country The smothered fires slavery appear tc
have burst forth with redoubled fury. Had not Cassius
NJ Clay been Frustrated by Sickness his life and the
lives of his friends Gfindeed, he had any friends in this
hour of rneed-whch it would appear he had not,
would have been wantonly sacrificed. We trust hit
brilliant career is not thus to end but that gracious
providence will restore him to health, and give him ia
vor in the eyes of those who seek his life that he may
plead the cause oftlo poor and needy, and be nstru

ELECTION RETURNS.

We are compelled to go to press just as the election
returns begin to come in, and ofcourse know but little
of the result Enough is known, however, to warrant
us in saying that the Liberty vote has increased be-
yond our most sangune hopes, while the voo of the
other parties has fallen off-especially that Of the
wings. Gov Sade must lack good deal of an cleo.
ton by the people.
Montpelier has given Mr. Marston an increased ma
ory, mainly owing to the falling off the wing vote
The liberty vote not as large anticipated: ten
or fifteen of our voters were sick Or absent
Washington County has probably chosen the Dem
ocratic Senators Representatives same as last year
far as heard FROM except Liberty gain in Duxbu-
ry democratic gain in Mortified and Roxbury
Orange County has probably chosen the Democrat
c Senators.-There is some doubt however, as to MI
Villas election as he runs considerably bshiHd hisie
ct in several towns.
La1noile County has given close run between tle
Liberty and Democratic Senatorial candidates and We
are unable to determine the result.

THE CAUSE IN SLAVE STATES.

The signs of the times are most propitious relative
to the cause of emancipation in Maryland and Ken
lucky, The Baltimore Saturday Visiter contains much
important matter upon the subject every week. The
cause is taking hold of the minds of every class of the
people, and many bright intelecs are engaged in the
good work of emancipation. In Kentucky, the enter
prize of c. NJ Clay is stirring up the people almost u
Universally The last True American contains splend-
id article in favor of emancipation, which Mr. Clay
says is "fom one ofthe first inteecs in this nation
and large STAKEHOLDER" We must quote passage
from it. itaicised paragraph of which contains truth
that ought to be pondered by every Northern man as
well as Southern.
'Our Legislature State and General, should raise
the platform upon which om free colored people stand
They should give to them full political rights to hold

Lexington There is too much at stake to think
of abandoning Kentucky. The True American
stood long enough to demonstrate that an anti
slavery press may stand in Kentucky. 1t stood
long enough to SOW seed which shall produce an
abundant harvest. 1t cannot be that the mob at
Lexington has fairly represented the people OF
Kentucky. There must be multitudes there
whose faces are yet burning with modification at
the disgrace inflicted upon their native State,
whose hearts are glowing with sympathy for the
man thus overcome for time by his assallants.
There will be reaction. But if the press be not
Reconstructed, what will it avail2 Never, never
give up If at this first check the enterprise be
abandoned, there will be no limit to the ages
sions of the slave power Next winter will wit
ness in Kentucky the passage of the same kind
of disgraceful laws against free discussion which
exists in the rest of the slave States. If it be
utterly impracticable to resume operations in
Lexington, transfer the seat of war to Louisville.
Attempts will no doubt be made to extort from

against the further agitation ofthe question We
hope in God that he may sternly set his face
