to us ofhgh and momentous Importance, that an eff
cent lecturng agent be immediaty employed to tray
the length and breadth of the state and discuss
and deferd our principles in every town and school
district where he can get hearing.
The main object of this communication is to bring
before your readers this important measure, which
many in this vicinity feel should be adopted without
further delay. We wish, moreover to suggest the
name of an individual who we feel is the man to
be employed. We think of no one in the state who
is better qualified for this highly important station
than the REV.. NORRIs Day His talent and knowledge
of the system ofslavery, & the great principle which
the Liberty Party is built amply qualify him to meet
any opposition that be scared mp from any quarter
and abundanty to defend position against all the
assaults of the enemy
Mr.. Day is decided, and Incorporating Liberty
man. He has made great sacrifice a minister,
for the advancement of enterprise and we feel
that it is vastly important that he be kept in the field
constantly. His mode of presenting the subject is to
the understanding and conscience of his hearers and
he carries his congregation with him by systematic
and logical of reasoning, which readily leaves
the conviction upon the mind of his audience that the
positions he defends are based in truth and should at
once be reduced to practice.
Now such, in our estimation, is the kind of talent
that the present state of things ABSOLUTELY demands.
Whatsay you Liberty men of Vermont? Are we right
in this view Of the subject? If so, shall we not put
our hands into pockets, and raise for Mr.. Day a
liberal salary and put him into the field for one year?
We say liberal salary, for Mr. Day has large fam
: ! Il, l., - III.
cunstances And moreover he has spent much time
in ecturng in the state where he has received COM
paratively compensation for his services. 1t is
therefore justly his due.
If we should not be considered too officious, we
would ask the Executive committee in this public man.
ner Is it not expedient to employ the above named
brother other individual and put him into the
. field as soon as may be. Cannot salary of 5000 be
raised with by appointing, through the columns of
our Liberty papers thorough liberty man in each
town, a financial agent to visit Immediately every
voter in his town. and receive cash in hand what he is
willing to give for the carrying Of this measure into
operation; ard forward the to you as soon as
