Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1847-01-21

FRIEND PoLAND,-I learn with regret that some of
our Liberty friends have withdrawn their subscription
from the list of the Freeman in consequence of be-
coming subscribers for the National Era. Now THIS
IS ALL wRoNG-wrong froma variety Of considerations.
Every one knows we want State papers, and must hare
them, or our cause will take retrograde movement.
1t is Impossible Tor one paper at the city of w ashng
ton to take oversight Of all our State and District
organizations, and their varied circumstances and
wants. and give them that information which will be
wanted pending our State and District elections. No
man who has been but partial observer, can doubt
for moment the fact that it is through the influence
Of our State papers, that have been the heralds Of truth
to thousands, that the Liberty party has become what
it now is, exerng an influence that is felt from one
end of the Union to the otherthat Is felt at the Cap
ito even in the halls of Congress, Notwithstanding
our petitions are unceremonlOusy laid upon the table
and denied reading. They are the avenues through
which flow the very life blood of the Liberty party
and without them it would be worse than folly tethink
of establishing national paper at Washington If
our State papers are not sustained our national paper
falls as a matter of course or will be swallowed up by
other interests. We have efficient State papers
that cost us less than the Era, and they must be
tanned or our cause will come to a premature DEATH
hose State papers can take an oversight Of all our
local Interestingly dog our enemies III all their
schemes for Our oVerthrowwe can reach them with
little no expense with any information that will be
beneficial to the party If our success thus far has
been identified with State papers, let us see to it
that we support them still And there is one other
idea will venture to suggest and that is this: There
are great number Of our Liberty friends who still
continue to take the papers published by the parties to-
which they once belonged. This is all well enough
perhaps, if they take Liberty paper. But if they
have embraced fully tho Liberty principles, they will
not feel at liberty to give their patronage to others to
the neglect of our own. We have as good papers as
are printed in the State They come to us weekly
laden with rich intelligence; not Win miserable bar
room blackguard or filed with ca;ricatures of other
papers like that scurrlous Age and of its kid
ney. Now then, brethren let rally to the support
of our State papers and if we dbte let lis take
the National Fra and then shall have copy of the
Freeman to distribute to our neighbors Never was
there time since the organization Of the Liberty par
ty when we we're called upon to be active and viglant
more than the presest. crisis will soon be made
between slavery and freeGom-between the North and
the South-between acquiring territory for perpeiua-
ting slavery and rivetng the chains upon our fellow
bengs-and settling disgraceful war upon the prn-
cpes Of justice and equal rights and thereby setting
bounds to the accused institution of slavery Let us
then, lovers of our country and our race rejoice
that have a representative at the Capitol of the
Nation and if any have discontinued our State paper,
let us renew our subscription at once. And let use
our influence to get others to subscribe. LIBERTY.
