THE TABLES TURNED.-In a town Of New
Hampshire, a gentleman of unpopular politics,
independent manners and dry wit, was chosen
hogreere, by way of f"puttng upon him." as the
school boys phrase it. After the choice was an
nounced in due form, the gentleman rose, and
thanked the electors for the honor which they
had conferred upon him, and added, raising his
voice; 81 now give you all notice, that while |
continue in Office not hog in this town shall be
permitted to evade the statute by merely walking
on his hind legs"

"MoRE AID AND coMFoRT."-The Illinois leg
islature is determined to help Mr.. Polk out Of his
difficulties. On the 2lst ult., Mr.. Linder offer.
ed the following resolutions in that body. The
sarcasm is rich.
WHEREAs, as it appears from the message OF
President Polk TO the Congress Of the United
States, Santa Anna has been guilty of the most
black.hearted ireachery, in failing to perform
and make good certain promises made to Presi.
dent Polk, (the consideration of said promise be.
ing pass port to Mexico,) one Of which was
that, on his arrival at Mexico, he would get up a
fight with Paredes and thereby bring the war be-
tween the United States and Mexico to close.-
Therefore,
ResOlred, by the House of Representatives Of
the State ofIllinois, the Senate concurring here
in, Thatwe deeply sympathize with President
Polk, inasmuch as his reasonable expectations
have not been realized in consequence Of the
treachery ofthe aforesaid Santa Anna.
And be il further resolved, That Santa Anna is
unworthy the further confidence of President
Polk, and that we most respectfully recommend
to the President TO place no further reliance up.
on the promise Of Santa Anna 10 bring the war 10
q close.
And be ii further resolusd, That inasmuch as
Santa Anna had heretofore, on all occasions, been
governed by n strict regard 10 truth, fidelity and
honor in his conduct, that President Polk had
good reason to believe that he would hold sacred
his word, thus solemnly pledged, and which we
still believe he would have done had he receiv.
ed two millions of dollars, as per contract with
the President.

MONTPELIER. THURSDAY, MAY 20, l847,
Time for Action.

We feel deeply impressed with the conviction
that it is high time for the friends of the Liberty cause
in our State to be sounding the notes of preparation
for the approaching election. The ides of September
are, or soon VU be, upon US, and are we not in danger
of being found deprived of the locks of our strength?
The winter is the best season for scattering the lib
erty seed into good and honest hearts; but, by a combi-
nation of circumstances, the Elk. Committee of our
State Association have been prevented from carrying
out those efficient plans which were resolved upon soon
after our State Convention. No lecturers could be OBJ
tanned. ]. P Hale, Bib, Garnet, the Clarks, Rev
Mr.. Day, and many others, laboring in our cause
were strongly importuned to enter our field, but all &c
no purpose. Their engagements were imperative.
Spring is now upon us, and although it is a busy
season, no time must be lost. Let the counties begin
to nope, and such help as can be furnished by the AS
sociation shall be forthcoming. Windsor County has
commenced the work of canvassing each town, to pre-
pare the way for several county conventions, ant
the dissemination of Liberty intelligence throughout
the entire county. Let others follow the example.

COltOn's Patent Premium Beehive.

Mr.. Bennett, of Gaysvile, has furnished us with a
cut representing Colton's Hive. We cannot speak
from experience, of the merits of this Hive; but from
an examination of the Model and Specification of the
Letters Patent, and also from the rapid sale, numerous
recommendations and testimony of experienced Bee
CMtiuatOrS, it appears to be a valuable Hive.
Some of the advantages set forth by MI. Cotton, the
Patentee, are the following;
That as a sheet of comb extends from the bottom of
the Hive into each drawer, the Bees will more readily
enter them-that they will fill 4 or 6 Boxes in this
Hive as soon as they will two in the top, as in the
Weeks hive-that when the boxes are changed, the
process of filling the drawers the second time immedi-
ately commensurate it may be used as a swarming
or non-swarming hive at the pleasure of the owner
that the double covering affords a better hive for win
tering Bees-and that to remove the brood comb from
an old swarm by breaking it out at a suitable time, is
better than any dividing of the hive or driving out
process.

North, can 60 in only on the same terms as the
same productions from other nations, and at the
best, must find active competitors in the market.
The South can neUsr be excluded but Hanover
may impose such high duties on those articles
which the North produces in common with the
rest Of the world, as to entirely exclude them
from that market.
Thus it is that the whole power of the general
government is used to advance and promote the
interests of slavery. Already says the Wash
ington Union, the Tobacco market feels a quick

faster, that the crop might be hurried into mark

treaty will impart new vigor to the lash of the
slave-driver in the tobacco fields of Maryland and
Virginia. And yet northern people roll up their
eyes in wonder, and ask, What have ~e to dc

The following is an extract of a letter recelv-
ed from an estimable friend in the State OF Del
aware. The circumstance he relates is a shock
ing one, and to some not acquainted with the
s~odom-like Abandonment of the slave regions,
may seem incredible to us, however, it appears
fully in keeping with many practices equally re-
voting, which are well known to be prevalent in
SOM parts of the South
While have some spare paper left, | will
make you acquainted with a circumstance which
took place on board a steamboat on the Missis-
sippi river. My brother-in-law, E.. P. has Just
returned from the West, and thus relates it As
Slavery is a general topic on these boats, and
while he and several others were warmly enga-
ged on the subject, a gentleman of very respect
able appearance from the city of New York,
stepped up and related the following story. From
his appearance and character as far as he could
learn, he had no reason to doubt that he spoke
the truth. lie stated that he had been down to
New Orleans, and while there, had met with a
STAKEHOLDER who owned several female slaves
This STAKEHOLDER told him with his own lips that
he had offered their services to the Pennsylvania
volunteers, and to their honor be it recorded,
they Indignantly refused. He then made appli.
cation to the Mississippi volunteers, and his Offer
was accepted, and he added that he had in this
way actually realized a sum of $3.50! These
are the facts, and you are at liberty to make sucl
use of them as you see proper"

OF9The democratic journals of this State are re
joiclng over the fact that Capt. E. A. Kimball, of the
Woodstock Age, has left for the w~ar-ields of BLOOD
and carnage in Mexico, with Seventy as fine Yer
monters as ever shouldered a musket." We see nc
cause of rejoicing in the fact that seventy of the de
%scendants of Ethan Allen have volunteered to run the
gauntlet of the battlefield, leaving bereavcd hearts
crushed hopes, and in some instances, disconsolatc
fight the battles of slavery-un institution which
thanks to the virtue and integrity of the fathers of the
Green Mountain State, was forever banished from our
borders, by the organic law of the commonwealth, be-
fore even the traces of its bloody footsteps were to be
seen upon our soil.

PARDONED.-Capt. Peter Flowery, who has been
confined for about two years in the Salem Jail under
sentence for having been concerned in the slave trade
has been p%ardoned by the president, and was on We'd
nesday, released by the United States marshal. The
president, in his pardon PROCLAMATION, recites the
different petitions which have been presented to him
and places the pardon on the ground of the increasing
i'll health OF the prisoner.

contrast this with the case of poor Torrey? and in the
contrast, can any one fail to discover on which side are
the partialities of the rulers of this ~land-savery Oh

Castleton, May 10, 1S47.

The Christian .4Liance.-The result of the proceed
lngs OF the Alliance, is a refusal to take any farther
action on slavery than they were absolutely compelled
to. Placed between the horns of a dilemma, both
within and without their own body, the attempt has
been made to avoid either, with what success time only
can show. 1t is not likely, however, that a simple de-
~claration that slavery is an evil, which is as far as the
Conference would go, will satisfy all of the Northern
churches, and the probability is that another Alliance
will be formed, from which Shareholders will be ex-
pressly excluded. Indeed, this was more than intimat-
ed during the session of the Congress.-N J. Til

For the Green Mountain Freeman.
The Winters Chain is Rended.

Ih6 lntGrS Cldll Is K6lded
The winters chain is rended,
The gushing founts are free;
And light with water blended
Goes dancing to the sea.
The dreary time is over,
The wintry storms are past
And like a wooing lover
The springs approaching fast.
The birds are sweetly singing,
With soft and mellow notes;
The air with echoes ringing,
Music melodious floats.
The earth awakes from sleeping;
She opes her joyous eyes,
Not red with silent weeping,
But bright as morning skies.
All nature soon will blossom;
The germs are springing forth,
Now from her heaving bosom
To beautify the earth.
Then wake, my heart, from sadness,
Join in the pleasing lay;
Echo the notes of gladness,
Nor let them die away.
The winters chain is rended,
The gushing founts are free,
And light with water blended
Goes dancing to the sea.
