The Colchester IIumbug.

This affair turns out to be even more palpable
fraud than we predicted last week. From The Bur
lingtor Gazette we learn that there were but t,co GEN
emen present at the Colchester meeting who had ev-
cr belonged to the Liberty pary-onc of them too
old to take any part and the other, NIr. Fores0 who
was appointed assistant secretary, protested against
the proceedings The committee on resolutions are
all, and ever have been, Sla,mch whgs No vote was
taken to publish the proceedings, but after the meet
ing was over, individual mot citizen of the place)
made out the proceedings, signed Mr. Forests name
to them without his knowledge or consent, and sent
them to Burlington for publication The editor of the
Free Press compromised his manhood, and with a
flourish of editorial rumpes, published these proceed
ings as The action Of the Liberty Party Of Colchester
This is little the dirtest wing trick of the season,
and how much advantage they may derive from it, re-
mains to be seen.

A Full VOteI

Do our friends realize the vital Importance of a full
Liberty rOte in the coming election? A gain of 1000
or 5000 to our ticket would settle the question of the
electoral vote of Vermont in the next Presidential cleo
ton. could not be giCen to a STAKEHOLDER! The pro-
slavery parties would not dare attempt it But if on
the contrary, our ticket should show no gan or even
slight falling of, pro-slavery politicians would set down
our state as sure for Taylor Or any other champion of
slavery. This need not, must not be. We know of
muttudes who will vote with US this year for the first
time and if our vote is not materially increased it
will be solely chargeable to the criminal inactivity of
our friends What friend of the Liberty cause will let
this fearful responsibility rest upon his shoulders

While Florida was in possession of Spain it

EMIGRATION

The emigration rom the British Isles TO this
country, at the present time, is really surpri-
sing. ireland alone. it is computed, will send
forth not less than 100000 C) people from
her shores to all parts of the world. A large
proportion of these emigrants will find their
way to the United States. And viewing the
matter in fair and candid light, we cannot
but think tina: the United States will be much
benefited by the transaction For the class
which is now emigraing from Ireland is COM
posed OF those who, of all others, are most
wanted in the Western portions of our vast
territory. viz the industrious farmers of the
land. Unfortunately, the very poorer classes
cannot find means to transport them from the
scenes of misery in which they live. The
small farmers. the middling classes, are selling
out bag and baggage, and are coming over
here in thousands. to till our soil and to be.
come useful and industrious citizens. Let them
come, we have room enough for all of them
and to spare.

G-The number of officers killed and woun-
ded at the battle of Buena Vista, in proportion
to the number of troops engaged, is unprece-
denied in the annals of warfare We have,
heretofore, assigned one reason for this, viz ::
the barbarity of the Mexican lancers, who, SO
soon as they found an American officer woun-
ded on the field, Immediately despatched him.
Another reason was the daring, we had almost
said, reckless courage Of the officers. In Or
der to encourage their men they were always
foremost in the fray. The accounts of the
battle shew that there were killed-3 Colo
nels, Lieutenant Colonel, Captains, and
IA Lieutenants-total killed, 81. Wounded
1 Brigadier General, Colonel, Major, 9
Captains, and IS Lieutenants-total wounded,
81 Total officers killed and wounded, 81.
