Professor HaddOck'S Snecch.

Let no one fail to read attentively the admirable
speech of Professor Haddock, of Dartmouth College
delivered in the late New Hampshire Legislature, Of
which he was a member. The positions taken in this
speech are Of vital interest to the cause of freedom
Prof H. goes the full length for discussion the pull
pit, in the legislative hail, in the primary assemblies
of the people, in public and private-let the light
shine fully assured that in the light of right
reason, revelation, and rational selfnterest, this
relic of barbarism will fade away like the dews of the
morning We rejoice the more in the truthful and
fearless positions of Prof H. from the fact that he is
so widely g. favorably known nthe religious commun
ty especially in his wndenominaton. No one will ac.
cuse him of blind and fanatica ZEAL or covert ipfdel
ty but his testimony will be received as the words Of
gospel truth and ministerial fathfulness. We wish
that this speech might be put into the hands of at least
every minister in the State Will the friends see tc
this?

into hopeless southern bondage. The decision
Of the Court is to be given on Thursday next.
Such cases, am told are common The
master tells his slave that for so much money
he will manumt him. The slave is at once
nerved with all the energy of freedom. He APP
plies himself to labor, uses rigid economy, and
pays over every cent he can obtain to his mas
ter, with the fond expectation that he soon shall
become his 0,on master. Thus he continues to
labor till the stipulated sum is nearly all paid
till freedom is almost within his grasp, then
his " kind and consderate master, fearing lest
his boy" should be unable to take care of him
SELF delivers him over to the tender mercies OF
some soul-driver, and pockets the avails Of this
second sale. With the proceeds of such traffic,
he may well afford tie be " chyalrous "-to be
liberal and hospitable-to talk about the "mean-
ness" of the Yankees

o. The Freeman says: " We greatly misjudge if
there are not hundreds of men found when the trial
comes, who gave their votes for Mr.. Dillingham; at the
last election, that have Soiemn resolved never again to
lend their support to party which has openly and I'M
bushngly espoused the cause of the oppessor and is
now taxing the people to the tune of nearly halt mil
lion dollars daily to fight the bloody battles of slavery"
The Freeman acknowledges then that the third par
ty has supported Slavery and the Mexican war: why
adhere to party organizatn which produces such bit
ter fruits Away with such folly, and let the people
of Vermont unite against the abetors and defenders Of
slavery, embodied in the locofoco ranks.-Watclnan.
VIZ acknowledged no such thing sir, only in the
sense that we are willing to acknowledge that the
third party has supported Clay and eternal slavery
that is we have good to believe that multitude
in this State who have hitherto voted with the whig
and democratic parties, will do no more They hdr
resolved to unite against the abettors and defenders
of slavery embodied in the locooco" and whig ranks
Is that ineligible? If not we think the first day o
September will demonstrate the fact

should do such noble act would receive, as he would
deserve a vote Of thanks, and very likely pension
from the American Congress- Yet our Intellect Is so

From the Newbern IN. c. Newbernian, July7
DARING ArrEmpr,-A very bold but badly planned
attempt was made here last week by an lrshman by
the name of Daniel O'Rafty to decoy away, and, as
is said, to convey to free State slave by the name
of Albert belonging to John L. Durand, ESQ. of this
place. The circumstances were briefly these:
O'Rafty came here from Washington N. c. few
days previously to the attempt probably naccodance
with an arrangement male between him and Albert
some months since. O'Rafty and Albert being both
tailors by trade had been employed some time pre-
viousy to last January in the same shop in Washing
ton. Since that time Albert has been living in New
bern.
On Tuesday last, O'Rafty went to the stage office
here and under the name of Mr. Brown took two seats
in the Western stage for Kingston, one for himself and
one as he said for boy by the name ofNewman New
land The next morning O'Rafty and the boy Albert
got into the stage and proceeded as far as Godsboo
with the intention, is supposed taking the railroad
for the North But, unfortunately for the success Of
their scheme, they found, on arriving at Goldsboro,
that the next train would not leave there until o.
clock of the next evening.
Albers master was not apprisod of his absence from
Newben until about 10 o'clock OH v ednesday morn
ing. He Immediately started in pursuit. and arrived in
Goldsboro about o'clock Of the same NIGHT. O'Raf-
ftv and Albert were both fonnd in bod tho at
which the stage had stopped, and with the assistance
of two gentlemen who had left Newborn soon after
Mr. Durand, and had overtakon him on the road, they
were taken into custody. A warrant was Immediately
taken out for the arrest Of CRAFTY and he and Albert
were sent back to Newborn and lodged in Jail. The
case will undergo legal examination to-day, to ascer-
tain whether there is sufficient evidence to commit o.
Rafty for trial By the laws of the State, the offence
of attempting to conceal slave, with intent to carry
him out Of the State is punishable with dedh ,otIot

LIGHT Advances.

The following is an extract of letter lately recev-
ed from an able minister of the gospel at the head OF
literary institution in neighboring county, who has
formerly somewhat strenuousy opposed the Liberty or
ganization. We are confident that there are great
number of ministers in the State, even of those who
have formerly been the most serious hindrances to the
progress of the Liberty cause, who have arrived at Or
are fast approaching, the same conclusion:-
81 hope the time is speedily coming when on the en-
crossing subject Of slavery men Of sense in all parties
twill see eye to eye" have for one come to the Sc
rous conclusion that Slavery must be opposed by some
systemazed course of acton-and that either poit-
ical, moral, Or religious organization must carry on
that opposition. see nothing in the present course OF
action by the government, Or by those who hold Oh
have held the rens of government for time past, cal
cuated to do effectual warfare against the peculiar
insttution-and the only queetionis whether the grow
inc principle of opposition shall be grated into some
one of the old olive trees-or whether it shall form the
basis of new organization"

this statement is Denied he promises bring sta
tstcal evidence to support his position Nothaving
file of the Voice" for the last year two at hand,
cannot furnish such arguments against friend Hocomb
as would be likely to have the most influence with
him; but really if he will look over his old files, we
greatly mistake if he does not find better reasons for
distinct Liberty party than he can now bring against
such an organization.

Canada Mission,

DEAR BR. PoLAND-A letter just received from
friend reminds me of duty which, through the hurry
of business have too long neglected.
You will therefore say that the boxes of clothing
which received from different parts of the state last
year, were collected together at Montpelier, and for
warded part to Miss Coburn at Queens Bush part to
Rev. H. Wilson, Dawn, and part to Rev. l. j. Rice,
Amherstburg
also divided what money have received from
different sources between those three stations and am
happy to say that have received letters from those
missionaries, containing an acknowledgement of the
safe receipt, both of the money and clothing together
with expressions of ardent gratitude to the kind donors
for their gifts.
Since my last acknowledgement in the Freeman
have received barrel of clothing from the Femal
Benevolent Society of Londonderry by Rev. J. Ste
yens. Also, the following donations in money have
been received by me and forwarded and received by
the missionaries as stated above.
Collection at Pernsvillc, 275; Chester, 1886; Han
over n H., 1872 Weston, 1872; Londonderry, 1885,
Samuel Burton Esq. Andover 1000; Dea Evans, Han
ford, Springfield, 200.
Friends in the north part of the state, who wish to
contribute money clothing for the benefit of the flu
gtves, or the missionaries among them, had better
forward to the Editor of the Freeman; and those in the
south part, to me at this place.

VERMONT CoNvENrIoN.-An aged and beloved min
lister, in recent letter to US, thus speaks of the anti
slavery resolves of the late Congregational Convention
holden at Middlebury:
/" | desire to thank God, and to take courage. The
late Congregational Convention have spoken out like
honest men, and like christians, against the crying sill
of slavery in our guilty land. The Lord dispose ant
help all his ambassadors to carry out the sentiments
which they have so well expressed then shall hope
that our churches will again be visited with showers
spiritual blessings and no longer resemble the noun
tans of Gilboa, on which there is no rain"

has been afflicted with the Asthma for 8
years. She has had ii severe pain in her
chest, side aud between her shoulders, at
teadel with a very bad cough; and the
amount of matter she threw up was truly
astonishing. | had called upon several
Doctors but they could not remove The
disease, and said she could not be cured.

but they did no goot. Ia October, 1916,
she was still alive /; about this time [ had
business al the village of Youngstown.
and a friend Of mine enquired afer the
health Of my companion ; | told him she
was yet alive. He advised ME to try
D1wus' Elixir, saying it had helped him,
he having had the consumption. tho't
would try one more remedy, and pro-
cured a bottIe from Mr.. Ladd, the agen'.

ion in a distressed condition, on account
Of difficulty Of breathing. gave her a
tea spoonful of the medicine, and TO our
us!onishment it relieved her in fifteen min.

she had used one bottle she wa, able 10

since she commenced taking tho medi>
cine but i! has not affected her lungs af-
ter using six bottles we pronounced her a
