We feel bound to urge it upon every friend Of the
Liberty cause in Vermont and indeed in every State
where Liberty papers are established, that they sustain
lie local papers derotrd to III. cause Of freedom. Con
trary 10 our impression when the National Era" was
first announced, we find it likely to interfere materially
with the circulation of local Liberty papers and
knowing this effect to be contrary to the design Or wish
of those instrumental in getting up and conducting
that paper we caution all well-wshers of the Liberty
cause against this course. We feel deep solcltude
for the success of the Washington paper alluded to
and, in our Judgment if it fails, it will not be for want
of subscribers or pecuniary support but for want OF
such controlling national anti slavery sentiment as
can alone be produced by vigorous support of local
presses and organizations throughout the free States

National EducalOn~GOT SHADES Agency

The friends Of education have been greatly gratifi-
ed to learn that the Hon VIM. SlAde, late Governor OF
Vermont has relinqushed political life, to devote him
sefto the interests of popular education in our coun-
try The following outline of the plan to be pursued
will therefore be interesting:
The enterprise is conducted by Committee of gen
tlemen from five different denominations, located al
Cincinnati, and styled the Central Committee for pro-
noting National Education. Gov Slade is Secretary
and General Agent of this Committee.
The object of this organization is to devise and
ry out measures for securing the proper education OF
more than two million American children who are des
tute of schools. The two leading measures aimed al
are first, putting in motion agencies that shall raise up
schools and create demaud for teachers; and second
y, securing supply of property qualified teachers tc
meet this demand.
Attention will first be directed t. the West, because
there population is increasing fastest, and there also
is to be the future seat of empire. great and in
creasing interest is now felt at the East in behalf OF
the educational wants of the West and lest this inter
est might be perverted to individual sectarian pro-
iects, the present organization is composed of gentle
men from different denominations, and the funds col
lected will in no case be applied till wise and well
informed men at the West of different denominations
and resident on the fields of &C ton, have been con
suited,
There are portions of the West where schools and
teachers can scarcely be exceled and where no aid is
needed. But there are other portions where, though
there are many ready to contribute money and eifor
for the cause of education yet they are small mi
poritv and in communities where wealth. In the toru
of lands and produce, where but little money olrcu
lotes where State debts occasion heavy taxes ant
where contributions are in constant demand for provi
ding places of worship school-houses' colleges roads
; bridges, and other material of society, which In ode
States is already secured, 1t is in these portions O
our country that lberay is manifested in cOntribu
ting for such Objects which, considering the reativ

The Yea and Coffee Tax Voted Down!

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9, 1847-5P. M.
To-day has been an interesting day in Congress,
though the Senate was not in session. The House has
been doing something calculated to produce sensa-
ton in the country.
You will have noticed that the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr. Walker, had written letter to the Com
mttee of Ways and Means, which was published in
Thursdays Union, urging the necessity of tax on
tea and coffee.
To-day was spent mostly in receiving resolutions
from the several states in order. When it came It
the turn of Illinois Mr. Wentworth got up and to the
great excitement of the House offered the follow.
ing:
Resotved That it is nexpedient to levy any tax OF
tea and coffee.
Every effort was mpde to get rid of ths-to Law i
on the table, &c. &c.-which failed The previous
question was ordered, and the Members were brought
up to the work, to say emphacaly whether they were
in favor Of taxing tea and coffee or not The yeas am
nays being called there were for the resolution liz
against it AZ. So there are only as men in the Hous
willing to stand by Polk and Walker in taxing the poo
for means to kill the Mexicans. Another resolutio
was moved by Mr. Sims of Missouri, that the People
of the United States were too patriotic to refuse an
= necessary tax in time of war. This was voted on b
yeas and nays; Yeas 49, Nays 0-but this leaves tn
. whole question open to what is necessary tax
time of war.
Other Resolutions we're offered to raise means for III
war; one was to tax Plate, &c Another was to lay
tax of Is 30 per cent the salaries of public fl
GERS. These were however laid over.
TIE House to-day abolished the rule allowing men

the african slave trade is equally revolving to the best

and to individual humanity " therefore, all officers were
