But the idea intended by the editor Of the

fallacy of such an idea has been again and again
evinced by the Democratic journals we have
had ourselves a proportionate share in giving

that the indications Of their dissatisfaction will
cease with the numbers Of those journals we

to refute, in The strongest manner, the utter
one-sided representations of the Wings on
these points.

CALVIN FAIRBANK.

A correspondent of the Louisville Journal rep
resents Mr. Fairbank as having lamented that he
engaged in the enterprise which led to his ar
rest. ole protested the conscientious sense of
duty under which he then acted, the result of his
early education said that he now believed that
he was wrong; that he had found that the efforts
of the aboitionists, instead of ameliorating, had
only served to embitter the fate of the slaves
that they, the slaves, were more comfortably sit
uated here than any of their comrades who had
escaped, and concluded by imploring their Glenn
ency," This may be exactly true, or it may not
be- We shall know some time or other.
The sentence delivered by Judge BucIner dis
plays the mock dignity of a robed villain to al
most as great perfection as did that of Judge
O'Neill in the case of Brown. 1t seems from
this great Judge that slavery is the very cement
of southern society, without which it would fall

the whole class is constantly built up
by the wealth and power ofthe government Mr.
Brney said that this state of things should be re-
versed. When an anti-savery executive should
assume the reins of government, it should be a
leading prnciple-not necessarily formally pro-
claimed, but constantly acted out, that no slave
holder should be appointed to office. In this way
the long arm of the federal government, which
has been employed for half century in distrb-
uting influence, emoluments and power to a
small class, would reach into every State and
town, and village, and by making Just discrim-
nation between shareholders and Others, it would
hold up the oppressor of his fellow man in his
true light, as utterly unworthy of possessing an
office under free government, whose principles
of Liberty he was every day trampling under
foot! Such an exclusion from office would be
equivalent to constant but just stigma of re.
proach to the Shareholder; it would be so regar.
ded by him, by the entire North, by the non
Shareholders, and by all mankind; and its inAu.
+ence if persisted in for few years, would o.
itself be sufficient to accomplish the etolton o
slavery.

into mass of chaotic ruins Poor, miserable,
villain of Judge The greatest force
of his sentence is to damn himself to everlasting
infamy Here it is :-Morning C1ron
Judge Buckner: "Stand up, Calvin Farbank
You have been convicted by an impartial jury Of
your countrymen, upon three indictments for the
abduction of slaves from this commonwealth
The crime of which you have been guilty is a
grave and heinous one it is a crime which not
only injuriously affects the persons whose prop
perty you have stolen, but one which affects, in
high degree, this whole community which
strikes at its peace and tranquility, nay, at its
very existence. The law under which you stand
convicted is a mercful one, for to my mind death
itself does not appear too severe punishment for
the commission of crime, the consequences of
which are of so deep and momentous charac-
ter to us all. You have placed us in danger of
our lives you have endangered the very eXis-
tence of our community as a community, by the
efforts Of yourself and your fanatic co-laborers to
sow discomfort among our slaves to incite them
to insurrectionary movement in order TO regain
their liberty. | say again. therefore, the law
whose sentence you await is merciful one. To
the jury you are indebted for that they have in
hicted on you so slight punishment, as they
might have imprisond you for sixty years | was
pleased to hear you express regret for the course
you have pursued lfwhat you said to the jury
were your real sentiments, and you still retain
them, it may be that the executive will see fit, ii
the exercise of his high prerogative, to remit
some portion of your punishment. AS you have
prolessed your penitence, l hope he will. 1t re
mains for me only to pronounce the sentence o
the law, which is, that you be taken hence to the
jail and penitentary house of this commonwealth
there to remain at hard labor for the term of five
years upon each one of the indictments agains
you, making the full term of fften years" Pris

A WISE RTRn

A Captain of vessel had canary which was
much attached to him, and would pearch on his
hand or head. One day the captain had several
friends to dine with him; the cage door was
opened, and the bird, after flying around the
room, pearched on the head of the captain. The
party were then drinking wine, and he held up
his glass, when the bird hoped on the edge Of
it, and drank some Of the wine. The little crea-
ture soon felt the effects, and returned to the
cage completely intoxicated. Soon after, at an
other party, the captain attempted the same, but
the bird remembering what he had suffered be.
fore, would not taste, but flow back to the cage

FOR THE FREEMAN.
ACTION.

The Liberty party has survived the whirwind
ofpolitical excitement through which she has
recently passed and although no stone was
left unturned to effect her disbandment, never
greater efforts made to crush and annihilate the
spirit of liberty, and although the political en-
gines of a great and powerful party, goaded on to
madness by desperation were brought to bear
upon her ranks with precision, (and need not
say efeCt,) she still exists practical Liberty
party. But however much we may congratulate
ourselves for our past success, let us not forget
that our work lies before us; that our march is
onward ; and he that putteth his hand to the
plough and looketh back, will accomplish moth
ing. In order to secure the extention, rapid ad-
vancement, and final triumph of the principles of
the Liberty party, nothing is more necessary
than the establishment of irregular and thorough
system of organization. TO accomplish this
every liberty man must feel that he has duty to
perform and that the strenuous exertions now
being made to lengthen the cords and strengthen
the stakes of an institution which usurps Gods
authority, and levels man with the beast that la
bors by his side; call upon him for renewed, and
redoubed exertons in behalf of the oppressed
Let us then Immediately in every town in the
State (where there is no organization) form hb.
erty associations under constitutions, clearly and
definitely defining our principles: let Commit
ees of vigilance, as far as possible, be appointed
in each school district, to labor with the people
and distribute anti-slavery publications; and
bove all, let frequent meetings for free discus
sion, be held in different parts of the towns
with cordial invitations for Wings and Demo
Gratis to participate
f Let this course be pursued throughout the
State, and before the next September election
rolls around, ten thousand freemen will be ready
to seal with their ballots, their determination tc
vote against system which makes beasts of meT
and chattelizes Gods image; till its death knel
shall ring through the land and its requiem b,

AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUTH.

A little boy, in destitute circumstances, was
put out as an apprentice to a mechanic For
some time he was the youngest apprentice, and
of course had to 90 upon brands for the other
apprentices, and not unfrequently to procure for
chem ardent spirits, of which all but himself par
took; because, as they said it did them good.
He, however, used none; and, in consequence Of
it, was often the object of severe ridicule from
the older apprentices; because as they said, he
had not sufficient manhood to drink rum. And
as they were reveng over their poison, he, I'M
der their insults and cruelty, often retired, and
vented his grief in tears. But now, every one OF
the older apprentices, we are informed, is a
drunkard, or in drunkard's grave: and this
youngest apprentice, at whom they used to scoh,
is sober and respectable, worth hundred thou
sand dollars. In his employment are about a
hundred men who do not use ardent spirits; and
he is exerting upon many thousands an influence
in the highest degree salutary, which may be
transmitted by them to future generations, and
be the means, through grace, of preparing mul.
titndes not only for usefulness and responsibility
on earth, but for an exceeding and eternal weight
of glory in heaven.-LOndon WeekN Visiter.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1845-03-14

Many have prophesied that after the preslden-
tal election, the Liberty party would die away,
and like meteor, which flashes in the heavens
for an instant, disappear for ever. They have
said that it is made up of ingredients at variance
with each other, and repulsive in their nature
and having but one idea in common with Itself
as a principle of action, cannot exist. Although
our short experience has proved this to be false,
it is our work to make people feel, and under
stand that this cone idea" of justice and liberty
embraces all other ideas worth contending for
is Of paramount importance to all questions OF
dollars and cents,-all prosperity not founded on
it is built upon sand, and that it binds together
the kindred spirits which rally around it with
bands so strong and enduring, as to be broken
only with the letters of the slave.
Wings and Democrats may talk about the
most expeditions method for raising the price of
wool three cents per pound, or whether this slave
holder or that STAKEHOLDER shall fill the presden-
tia chair; it is our work to overthrow the slave
holding olgharchy which rules us, to take from
slavery its main pillar of support--the counte-
nance and aid of the general government, and to
turn the whole influence of that government in
favor ofimmediate and unconditional emancipa-
ton Let us then be up and doing while the
day lasts, for the night cometh when no man
can work
Let us 90 on, steady, united, undertaking, un-
firing, unseduced and unterrifed by the strate-
gems and threats of disappointed politicians and
Office seekers. Nothing is so much demanded
of us as incessant activity. We leave everything
to encourage us and nothing to dampen our zeal
In the experience of the past, regular and rap
id increase of numbers in spite of the most des-
perate opposition, gives us much to hope from
the future Let us then light the beacon fires Of
liberty on every hill and towering cliff-hoist the
anti-savery banner, and it unfolds itself to the
cold breezes of our Green Mountain State, with
our glorious cone idea" of ''mans equality in.
scrbed upon its fold, call upon all to rally around
it and bear it on to peaceful and bloodless vic
victory.
Arise arise then, freen en-; in your conscious
might
Awake arouse once more at freedoms call
Expressions yoke from every shoulder strike,
Send up the shout-freedom for ALL
