THE FIRE Z M A N.
The Anti Slavery Church,
For the Green Mountain Freeman.

Mr. EDITOR I'm the Freeman of July 9th there
appears an article under the above caption, purportng
to have ausion to communication which had previ-
ousy been made by Rev. J. Gleed, and containing
some sentiments with which, having your permission,
wish to find little fault.
The author of the article to which allude, seems
to question the right of individual to absent himself
from church, after he has once Joined it. letAhe cir
cumstances be what they may:-at least, | consider
that fair inference to draw from his language Now
wish to inquire of your very orthodox correspondent
if it would not be right for him to demand his passports
of the church to which he belongs should that church
permit acts of gross immortality to pass unreproved in
any of its members: would he be making "specous
pretences" to superior pety" or would he act from
an honest conviction that to remain, would be to com
mune with and counenance vice? But 81. F. W."
fears that "nay have left the churches without adorn-
ing the new organization" &c. Whether his fears
well grounded or not it of course has nothing at
all to do with the proprety improperly of the Sc
cesson, which alarms him so much. 1t is probable
they are 10 better than they should be- but it might be
recolected that there some remaining, who, save
and except the sin of secession better than the
seceders themselves and not very bright ornaments to
the old churches.
Why should 81. F. W." be afraid of the word free
dom, when applied to church relaons2 1t is the one
sound dear to every lover of humanity. We ask not
freedom to beat saves-we ask not freedom to walow
in ntoxcation but we do ask for freedom to worship
God after the dictates of our own conscience and if
the "churches" wish to prohibit it, say they are not
republican idea" but an arstocratic and monarchi-
cal idea.
What if some 81. F. W." in the days of Arminius,
or Luther, or Wesley, had donned look of wondrous
WISDOM and said to those men, "have you right srs,
to organize church on what platform of belief you
choose, or on the platform of no belief?" 1t might
have been desirable for the standing orders" in
those days, to prevent secession as is now but do
you think those men would have been frowned down
and slenced by such argument? 1t sincerely gag,
sir, which the advocates of slavery would be glad to
thrust into the mouth of every man who dares to lift
up his voice against the long established and daring
vices Of the church.
The authors of these dolefu wailings about seces-
sion are the same men, by the way who have opposed
euey measure that ever was presented for the exter
minaton of slavery. They great friends to the
slave they deprecate the evil of slavery but the in
genuity of man has never yet sought out way for
their relief but these same slaveocrats at once set
up the howl of improperly, for one cause or another
They know, at a glance, what is ,crong in every
measure. Pity they do not know of some way that is
right Give us your plan gentlemen. APP.

We invite your careful attention to the following
views of friend, who has long been a Wool Grower
and lately shipper
New York, May 10Th, 1876.
"More than one half of all the American Fleece
Wool exported from the United States, IF the last
years clip owned and shipped by myself and 9TH
ers having joint interest with me. The purchases
all made at the lowest point of the season. begin
nng the first day of September and closing on the
25h day of October last The result has been nett
loss of $685. and 1888 bales of Wool yet unsold-
equal only to the fraction of penny sterling on each
pound. Not fleece of the wool sold to meet the
payment of drafts drawn against it, nor was any por-
ton of it unduly pressed upon the market;and this
loss arose from causes cessary easily avoided and
entirely within the control Of parties in this country.
The prices of United States Fleece wool affect
ed very injurlousy in foreign markets by its unclean
condition. 1t contains too much OIL and yok, and dirt
The sheep are generally washed with too little care
and run too long after washing before shearng.--A
large portion Of the wool from this cause must pass
through the hands of those who sort it and it in
soap and water before it is sold to the manufacturers
The wool itself is ofsuperior staple and while upon
the sheep is inferior to other in the world, of equal
grade; and it may be safely stated that every pound of
oil, or other worthless substance, will, in the English
markets, deduct from the value of the wool which
ains it, the price at least of two pounds of WOOL Eng
fish manufacturers and staples before purchasing open
portion of the fieeces, and examine carefully not on
y the fneness, but also the strength of the staple, and
It's condition throughout.
The first important operation in preparing our fleece
wool for export is to properly cleanse before shear
ing. The sheep should be washed in clear running
watcr-tne warter must freely through every part
of the fleece and the wool and every part of it should
be pressed and worked with the hands while under wa
ter until the dirt and oil are removed and the water
runs off clear. The shearng should then take place as
soon as the sheep becomes dry after washing.
Then comes the tying up of the hooces. All the
loose locks, clippings and tags, and every thing I'M
clean, of inferior quality and the wool from
the thighs if there be any, should be wholly rejected
and the eeces tied up firmly as to keep their shape
and show, is customary the best part of the fleece
on the outside,
This terminates the wool-growers part; but | will
here remark that the sheep should be kept nearly
as possible in uniformly good health and hesh because
every portion of the stapl or fibre of the wool which
grows while the sheep is very poor from disease or
want of food has little strength as to break nwork
ing and if this weak growth takes place in the fall of
the year, it destroys the fleece for many purposes.

HIS TOR Al.
For the Green Mountain Freeman.
The Sandwich Islanders.
BY REV. DR.. LAFON:
For sir gears a Missionary on The Islands.

The history of this people, up to very recent peri
cd, is best given in recent history of the Islands by
]. ]. Jarvis. This work is very highly commended by
the American Board. He speaks explicitly of the OPP
preston which was exercised by the chiefs towards
the people formerly. 1t was entire slavery. The
chiefs held the people to greater less amount Of
servitude, according to circumstances but whether
greater or less entirely at the discretion of the
chiefs The chiefs were possessed of the soil, and of
every thing else that pertaned to the kingdom. The
common man had no time that he could command-no
sanctum that might not be nvaded-no property that
he could defend All, all, was at the uncovenanted
mercy of the chiefs.
In 1889 there was modification of the government
A constitution was formed--a code of laws was writ
ten out Their declaration Of rights, like our own
declares that all men are born free and equal But
the laws only regulate the amount Of unrequited toll
that the chiefs are hereafter to exact from the people
without even materially diminishing that amount
Right then given to personal property, and rep
resenative branch was added to the government, Of
persons chosen by the common people from among
themselves These three items, /. G. |. The regula.
ton of the service exaced from the peoples @ Right
of personal property g. representation from among
the common people in the government, constitute wha
is believed to be the essential points in the govern
nent change affecting the interests Of the people.

A NEWSPAPER taken in a family seems to
shed CLEAN of intelligence around. 1t gives
the children taste for readng-it communicates
all the important events, which are passing in
the busy world; it is neverfailing source of a.
musement and furnishes a fund of instruction
which will never be exhausted Every family,
however poor if they wish to hold place in the
rank of intelligent beings, should take at least
one newspaper. And the man, who, possessed
of property sufficient to make himself easy for
life and surrounded by children eager for
knowledge, is instigaled by the vile spirit OF
cupidity and negIects TO subscribe to newspaper,
is deficient in the duties Of PARENT or a citizen,
and is deserving of the censure Of his intelligent
ncighbors

Give me Half the Road.
Ho! all we travellers on the road!
A claim now present,
Which you grant give my word
To be herewith content;
And what claim, on every man
The like shall be bestowed;
While |, politely as can,
Say, give me half the road.
Although you on a downy bed
Repose, and | on straw
On earth's rich dainties you are fed,
While bone must gnaw -
And though palace be your seat
A cabin my abode,
Be careful where you place your feet,
And give me half the road.
Whether Pm three or six feet tall,
What son of Anak dare
Invade the right which one and all
The SONS of earth may share?
Whether on foot or with team,
Empty or with load,
Don't CALI me saucy, small or green,
But give me half the road
Now all claim is just One-ha!G
The other is your right;
And If Pm black, don't scowl nor laugh,
Though you perchance are white;
For you and are but " one blood"
This earth our Joint abode
Homage alone is due to God,-
So give me half the road.
Soon lfe's short journey will be o'eT
Soon | shall no more be;
Soon | shall trouble you no more
To "clear the track for me;
But when Pm carried to the tomb,
That dark and dreat abode,
Just step aside and give me room
Just give me half the road.

The Liberty Platform,

That party spirit is an evil cannot be doubted: nor
that it now RACES with unprecedented fv II isa mat-
ter of consequence them to see fsome eXpedlent
not be devised to check it. But this can only be eff
fected by union of the parties. And in order to,
unite the parties, thele must be some common ground
upon which they can all stand together Now let us
see whether either Of the three already existing, furn-
rshe5 such platform, whether We shall be under
the necessity of organizing another,-What can be
said for the Liberty party?
In the first place, the Liberty party is the Declare,
ton of Independence party. FHe principles Of the
Declaration are these shat all men are created equal;
that they endowed with certain inaienabe rights:
and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness" Now, these are the identical principles of
the Liberty Party But every processes to revere,
honor, and support, those principles So far them the
Liberty Party answers the end we have in view.
In the second place, the Liberty party whig par
y. Who were the old Wings? They were those
who in the days of the Revolution stood by the Dec
laration of independence. All others were Tories.
ing down to our times 1t still means friend of the
principles Of the Declaration Those then, who de-
light to call themselves wing, can find platform on
which they can stand, in the Liberty party.
In the third place it is Democratic party. 1t
goes for equal rights to all men. And that is Democ-
racy and nothing else is All those who glory in the
good old name of DEMOCRAT can find party to their
liking in the Liberty Party.
In the fourth place, it is a Republican Party. And
who does not glory in being REPUBLICAN, in opposi-
ton to the monachists and Oristocats ofhe old world?
And who would not belond to a Republican partf2
WE'LL the Liberty patty is just such one 1t is just
the thing for bold, true hearted republicans. Let them
come into it them
In the fifth place, it is the Constitutional party. II
does not believe in holding several thousand slaves in
the District Of Columbia contrary to the Constitution
the other parties Debut it is for establishing JUS
tic9 and securing to ourselves and our poserity the
blessings of liberty the Constitution intended. So
that all those in whose eyes the Constitutions sacred,
can belong to the Liberty party, and NO ether
In the sixth place, the Liberty party is the MONEY
party. Slavery eats up our money! and causes hard
times,-And nothing can make BETTER times, til
slavery is destroyed But that is the very object Of
the Liberty party 1t is the object of either Of the
OTHER parties. But every body wants money, and
therefore every body ought to Join the Liberty party.
Here, then, is platform. On all can stand And
it is the ONLY platform All the good NAMES and all
the good THINGS, belong to it. 1t is Liberty Declare
ton of Independence, Wing, Democratic, Republicans
Constitutional. and Money all at once. And if these
are not enough, we will specify more hereafter

We invite your careful attention to the following
views of friend who has long been Wool Grower,
and lately shipper.

ONIONS.

The beds should be carefully weeded,
and, when the plants are three or four in
ehes high, thin them first TO three inches,
and afterwards to four, six or eight inches
apart. II is important in wedding onions
with the hoe, not 10 stir the earth much
or raise it round the plants, as this will
prevent their forming their bulbs properly.
When The leaves begin to lose their color.
then lay down the crop, which is done by
bending the stems down fiat, just above the
bulb. The operation may be performed
with the hand, but much time is saved by
two persons with pole, or the handle OF
a rake, each holding one of the ends, in
such manner as, when walking up the
alleys, 10 strike the stems an inch or two
above the bulb. This process, which is
called slayiug over" is of great benefit TO
all crops Of onions, as the growth Of the
stem is thereby considerably checked, and
the whole nouriShment thrown into the
bulb. Il is particularly beneficial TO the
I late crops in bad season, for stop is
thereby put to the lnxuriance of their
growth. and they are consequently in a
great degree obliged to ripen.
The month of September is the proper
time to take up the full crop Of onions, for
after the middle or end of that month,
| they will advance little in their growth;
they must be spread thinly on the ground,
and, if the weather be rainey, it would
be advisable 10 remove them into gravel
walk, or to a space covered on purpose
with sand or gravel, and exposed the full
influence of the sun. They mnst be turn
ed over regularly once or twice a day,
until they be thoroughly dried, and then
stored away in any well aired loft, barn,
&c. ..-...... H..
With the view of obtaining seed, some
Of the largest onions should be planted out
in rich soil, in spring. As three or four
bulbs for seed occupy but a very little
space in the garden, and require little OF
no attention, considerable saving may
be effected by the cottager, by producing
instead of purchasing his seed. The stems
will require supporting as soon as the seed
crown appears, and, when the bulbs are
planted in rows, two stakes at the end oil
each row, withstings fastenedto each stake,
and extended the whole length of the row
on each side of the plants, will make suf.
ficient support. If any of the stems should
haupen to fall down, they may then be
fastened to tire string, as, if they be allow.
