County Conventions.

We had the PLEASURE last week of attending
the Conventions at E. Corinth and E. Randolph
They were both we'll attended, and an excellent
state of feeling prevailed among the friends of
our cause, evincing an unwaverng confidence
in the righteousness of our principles, and fix
ed determination to 'bide the time of their final
triumph Especially was it gratifying to witness
the anxiety, which appeared to be general, to
give hearty and efficient support to the Assoc-
alton which was organized at the late State Con-
vention. All seemed to feel deeply our want of
organized, systematic and persevering labor !;
and all appeared fully convinced that the time had
now come for us to organize our forces and
present cause faithfully at the tribunal of the
OhoIe people. Nearly forty members of the State
Association were obtained One individual
Deacon Aldrich, of West Topsham most de-
voted and selfdenying friend of the crushed
slave, and whose 'OorkS keep pace with his faith
on this subject,-made the generous offer of be-
coming one of ten to pay 5000 for the ad-
vancement of the cause in Orange County the
present year. We sincerely hope that nine more
may be found of equal zeal and beraty.
Asa NJ Dickey, Esq, of w. Topsham, pre-
sided at the E. Corinth Convention, assisted by
B. Aldrich and S. Allen, Esqrs Messrs Dus-
tin and George, Secretaries.
F. G. Bigelow, Esq, of Brookfeld, presided
at the Randolph Convention; H. Tracy, Esq.
and Rev. Mr.. Lewis, v. Presidents; M. II. Ses-
sions, ESQ.,, Secretary.
Each Convention was most ably addressed BY
Hon Jacob Scott, Lewis Clarke, and others.
The following resolutions were adopted at each
Convention, save the last, which was not brought
up at the latter, but we trust it will not be for
gotten by the friends there present:
Resolved, That, in the Judgment of this convention
the most promising and effective mole of organization
for the friends of the Liberty in the county Of
Orange, will be- to procure, far possible, the name
of every friend of the cause as member of the State
Liberty Association, thsreby raising fund to be ex-
pended under the direction of the Executive Commit
tee.
Resolved, That the position which Southern States
man have recently taken in Congress- on the Wilmot

From the EmancipatOr.
Congressional Law for the District of
Columbia.

Some considerable time since, we we're in
formed Of the case Of clergyman in Ham
den County, who had given great offence to
some politician in his church, by preaching a
bold and faithful sermon, Slavery and the duty
of American citizens in regard to its Abolition"
The worst paroxism of indignation was OCCASION
ed, as we understand, by his statement that there
bia, and owing its force only to the authority
and act Of Congress, by which slave arrested
for murder, is subject to be cut in quarters, and
the quarters to be exposed in the most public
places of the county. A torrent of indignant
deniaS almost overwhelmed the good man, with
out giving him chance to produce his author
ity or prove his assertion. His appeal to Judge
Jay hardly availed TO procure even suspension
of Judgment. Under these circumstances, we
volunteered to write to "a member of Congress-.
to procure an exact and certified copy of the law
aud statement of its present validity. We re-
cei'ed in reply, the following copy and certificate
which we presume, VIII be fully satisfactory to
all reasonable people.
slave shall he convicted by confession or verde, of
Jury, OF any petit treason or MURDER wilfuly burn
ing of dwelling houses, II shall and may he lawful for
the justices before whom such conviction shall be to
give judgment against such negro or other slave to
have the right hand cut o. to be hanged in the usual
manner the head severed from the body the body di.
vded into four quarters and the head and quarters set
up in the most public place in the county where such
fact was committed"
The above is copied verbatim from the 4th
chapter of the Laws of Maryland of 1920, be.
ing the whole Of the 2nd section Of said chap
ter as contained in the first vol of the laws of
Maryland, "revised and collected by William
Kelly, Atty"
The act was in force in 1901 when it was
continued within the district Of Columbia by an
act Of Congress approved ON the 9th of July
OF that year, entitled can act concerning the
district Of Columbia" and is now in force within
that part of said district which lies North Of the
Potomac, being all that portion which was coded
by Maryland to the United States.

Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1847-03-18

We advise all who give the least attention to
agriculture or feel any interest in the subject
and who does not Ito call on j. W. HowEs,
of this village, where they will find an almost
endless variety of the mos; modern and improv-
ed style of Agricultural Implements, from a
threShng machine down to butter paddle 1t
is astonishing to witness the Improvements which
have Of late been made in the construction of
farming utensils, and the low rate at which
they are afforded and any man who neglects to
take advantage of this but plods on in the track
of his grandfather, shows himself to be emphat-
icalIy "penny.wise and pound-foolish."
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1847-03-18

Proviso, clearly proyes-what before was beyond
doubt-that the sole object of the present war with
Mexich, is, the extension and perPeulty of slavery
Resolved That the final defeat OF the Wmot Pro
viso in Congress, furnishes additional and humiliat
ing proof the utter subseiency of the two great po
ltcal parties Of the nation to the slave power and
that the friends of Liberty have nothing to hope from
the action Of parties in connection with, and controlled
by, the advocates of perpetual slavery.
Resolved, That each member of this convention do
what can be done for the free circulation of the Green
Mountain freeman in the county of Orange
10 A Convention was also holden at Willis
ton last week, for Chittenden County, which al
so adopted the plan of Association, and appoint
ed special County committee for carrying out
the plan through the County.

Friends uf Liber.Y, Attention

In consequence Of the general flvor with
which the State Association is received among
the friends # the Liberty cause in the State, so
far as it has been laid before them, the Executive
Committee feel warranted in employing efficient
laborers to go into the field, and are now nego-
cating for at least one TO each Congressional
District. Should the funds warrant it, that
number of lecturers at least will be employed
unti the next election. Who, then, viii not ell
ter heartily into the plan, and do all i'll their
power to secure the cooperation and support
of every friend Of the cause in the Safe =
Who that feels and laments the want of effective
labor in days gone by, will lend himself to de-
stroy confidence in, and Withdraw support from
the present plan, at least until he can prescribe
a better? We look for the hearty support o.
all who place the cause above all minor conside
ratons

The New HAMPSHIRE Election,

Being believer in the doctrine that revolutions
especially moral revolutons-never go backward, we
had most confidently expected triumph of free prnci-
pies in the late election in New Hampshire, by an in
creased majority But we are mistaken for once
Truth is sometimes crushed to earth: it has been SO
here. The friends of gags and southern principles
have triumphed. New Hampshire has returned from
her wanderngs, to the fold of southern allies" Shout
aloud, We Atherons and Hills, ye Pcrces and Hub
bards, and let your notes of triumph reverberae among
the Granite Hls but know we that these shouts are
doubly echoed by the Calhouns and McDufies, the
Wises and Tylers, of the South, who contend that
slavery the only proper condition of the laborng
class.
Williams is probably elected Gov. by from SEQ to
800 majority. The democrats will have majority of
five or six in the House.
Peaslee and Johnson are elected to Congress, from
the LIST and 18th districts.
Democratic senators are elected in l. 3, q, 6, Z, g.
10, and ~ Liberty in 2, 5, 9, and possibly in |.
We most heartily reciprocate the feelings expressed
in tie following paragraph from the Granite Freeman
which has commended nobly for the right during the
late canvass. len tnOuSun0 llIncS "ouIu We pIeieI
the consciousness which such have, of having la
bored for the right, although beaten in the struggle
than Join with the yictors in celebrating triumph
which brushes to the earth the rising hopes of millions
of our fellow men.
SLA VERY AGAIN TRIUMPHANT.
We are compelled to announce to our friend:
that cur confident hopes and expectations are
disappointed, New Hampshire has again beer
brought to give her influence on the side o
Slavery. We were not prepared for this W
: to the moment when the returns began to come
: in, we had not the least indication from any quar-
ter that such result of the conflict was possible
We had not for once entertained the idea tina
falsehood and bribery could succeed. But w
are disappointed We have neither time no
heart for further remark. Sufficient to thu
y day is the evil thereof" We do not despair 0
the cause. 1t must eventually triumph; ant
whether in success or defeat, no true friend c
' Liberty will leave the straight forward path o
duty. If Slavery must continue to rule, ant
this nation incur the terrible retribution tina
y falls upon all oppressors, blessed shall those be
who, in defiance of a corrupt public sentiment
labor to redeem their fellow men in bondage
and though often defeated continue earnest
r and faithfully to labor, for Truth, Justice, an
Liberty.
