In the Freeman of Feb. 49, 1916, may be found &
! communication from the Rev. John Gleed, a Liberty
party agent, headed, " Vermont must be Redeemed "
and in which he says, "0n the subject Of my anti
slavery labors, l wish to say few words. Two
years and half, the 6th day of this month, have
been wholly devoted to this work my salary was to
be after the rate of 500, per annum, for all the time
I devoted to it, but had to cut my own fodder
soon found must must work hard, and trust in my
Heavenly Father for my daily bread Charging af-
ter the above rate for only two-thirds of my time,
my account stands thus: $4,000
Collected in different places, Sl78,90
Collected at Hnesburgll 2S,45

Due. $51265 +"
In this same communication Mr.. Geed says-"I
place myself at the disposal of the State Committee
and the Liberty friends to labor any where in the
state, andmy motto is, Vermont must be Releemedm
In the Freeman of that week and the next, no less
than 30 lectures by Mr.. GIeel, are announced as
forthcoming. In addition to this, Mr.. Geed reports
in the Freeman of April 30h 1916, that he had just
porting S23,O7 received during his. six weeks tour,
remarks that he had met with some signarsuccess,
particularly the subject of political action" &c.
To the foregoing may be stated the fact that the
Rev. Norris Day has given very many Liberty lee
tures-prObably more than enough to swell the num-
Der to above two hundred, including those already
named Another item still, is the fact that either Mr.
Poland Or MIR. Briggs was busiy engaged good por
ton of the time from Nov. to May, in lecturng, &c.
After placing the different nominating conventions
of the Liberty party on an equal footing with the
Wing conventions, think it may safely be estimated
that Iro Hundred more ADDRESSES were given during
the nine months, commencing Dec /, 1915, by LIB
erty party agents. and for the purpose Of increasing
the numbers of that party, than given by Wing
speakers, and for the purpose Of adding to the ranks
Of the Wing party.
In April last, one hundred and fifteen mon were
named in the Freeman, as agents for that paper,
and in the number, dated August Goth, '4G, Mr.
Poland says, "For the last year, we have sent out
our lecturers, and our paper, striving By all means in
oar pOlcer to fix in your minds an unutterLble ablror
renee of this tsum of all villancsr" Will you now
utter silent yet all-powerful condemnation of it,
written on q genuine LIBERTY VOTE ?" "The
hosts arc in the field. They can appear in
their hoyrid uglaeSs, or IN an Angels garb, as
best suits their purposes" In the Freeman Of Aug
81, Mr. Poland asserted that he knew the snewdest
of their opponents admitted that the Liberty vote
this year would range from ten to fifteen housam;-
that their gain in the Legislature wOuH6e large, and
probably some elections to the Senate!
In the Freeman of 10th inst, Mr.. Poland says
" Out of the twelve Liberty members of the Legisla
turc, only one, if are correctly informed has been
returned to the present legislature" "Ihc truth
is that most, if not all Of these defeated members
were elected with more or less help from Of the
old parties" Shall we not learn from this that our
reliable strength is in thoroughly converted Liberty
men alone, and thus save ourselves the modification
of defeat when success is the most necdej?" Mr..
Poland urges the Liberty men to begin another CAM
paign Immediately. Better pay Father Gecd his
$500 as well as some other hborers first lest your
credit fail
have prolonged remarks on the h6or part Of the
" problem" so far that haze no room for quoting
language as an offset to Wing abuse, and will close
by proposing Problem for pious Joseph to solve.
Ii is as follows
If a hundred and fifteen agents for the Freeman,
and two hundred Liberty party lectures above those
of the Whigparty bring one third Or one half the in
crease of the latter and if eleven out of twelve Lib
erty representatives are thrown overheard the first
year, and further if the chief organ of the Liberty
party is convicted out of his mouth Of falsif-
cation of facts, how long will it take the honest men
of that party to find out Mr. Poands gulltrap, and
the disqualification of OTTER leaders; and reject
both him and them?
have more for Joseph, but VIII give him time to
digest this pill before giving the next.
