GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN.

G57 Mr. Hamln, of the cleveland True Demo
crat an ant-slavery Wing, was presenta the Buffalo
Convention. He says of it
"Thera were some things in the Convention that
greatly pleased u.s. There were less vituPeraton and
Remuneration of the members of other parties, than we
ever before witnessed in Liberty Convention. Inc
resolutions too we're correct principle, and dgnhea
in their tone This is to be attributed IN great de-
gree, we suppose to their being drawn up by as able
a LAWYER as MIR. Chase of CINCINNATI. On the whole
the spirit of the Convention was such as to promise
good TO the cause of Freedom.
There was not much difficulty with respect TO ING
candidates. John P. Hale was selected on the mrs
ballot by great majority. This selection was undouOt
edly the best that could be made. lie is devoted
Jealous friend of Freedom. He has been tried, ant
| in every trial has come forth more pure and perfec
than before. We have seen him in these trials, an'
have witnessed his noble bearingand no consideration
of party shall lead to detract an ota from HI
merits.

The Prospect,

The N. Y. Tribune thus plainly enough gives the
country to understand that nothing to be hoped from
Congress with the Wing House, in favor of termna-
ting the war So we supposed.
"A week of anxious and careful observation al
Washington has not strengthened our hopes OF early
and determined action by Congress- for the termination
of the war with Mexico That large majority of both
Houses heartily DESTROYS that the war should be
terminated and would gladly approve treaty of peace
securing US the boundary offered by Mexico to Mr.
Tris, we undoubtingly believe. But we are rapidly
approaching Presidential election, and too many, un
happily are more anxious that their party should sue
coed in that contest than that their country should be
just in the sight of heaven and manknd-nore solicit
GUS that the Federal patronage should be dispensed
through favored and favorable channels, than that
grape shot and bayonet thrusts should cease to be dis
pensed at all.

on our voyage,the river still rising five inches an hour
and encountered floating dwelling. houses, timber, hay
stacks, hogs, CATTLE &c, on their way down stream
On arriving at Portsmouth, noxt day at noon we found
the town (seVen hundred honses) completely inundated
the water occupied the FIRST story and in many cases
also the second At Grahams station we found matters
in vet worse condition. The scene of destruction
was painful to behold.
In the coal region, including Pomeroy, Sheffield
Coalgrove and Nyesve, where they get ont coal fol

every house was submerged, and the inhabitants were

FoREIGN.-The steamship llibernia arrived at i'os-
ton Saturday morning. There has been decided i'm
proyement in the commercial affairs of Great Britain
In the manufacturing districts there is greater activity
and laborers are returning to their work. Accounts
from Ireland are still gloomy. The peasantry were
still subject to great want and restitution. We can
not give even list of the reported murders, and arm

country. The following letter from Dublin gives
Iamentable account of the state Of things:

taken the hint and has left the country altogether
His arnhouses and cottages all destroyed and th

Now many Of the Baptists in Vermont are protested
Abotonsts, and some ofthem vote the Liberty Ticket;
perhaps this correspondent Of the Reflector is such an
one Let Inc ask him, why do you leave pro-savery

pro-slavey religious Organizations? Is sin not so bad

HIGHLY IMPORTANTLY!
The great object ofreducing the terms of the
ONE DOLLAR.


in accordance with the recommendation Of the
State Convention holden at this place during the
last fall was, that it might secure such an in
creased circulation as to become the most effect
i've means ofdsseminating our principles through
the length and breadth of the State Now this
object can only be effected by the prompt and
hearty cooperation Of every man who has an in
terest in the cause, All will see that we cannot
employ agents and pay commission to obtain
subscribers at ONE DOLLAR year. Let, then,
EVERY ONE of our present subscribers constitute
himself an agent, and Immediately solicit those
in his neighborhoood who are not already patrons
of the paper to become such. In this way, and
this way ALONE, can more be done to advance
our cause than has ever been accomplished in
any previous year.--To induce all to undertake
this work we offer the following

The Wing members are generally right in sentiment
and most sincerely anxious that this horrible waseful
curnage should be terminated But alas that the word
should be needed there several who have not yet
learned that nothing can be more expedeut than doing
exactly right and doing it right off; and while they
would like to see the war ended. they hold that the
Wings can only promote this by securing an election
of Wing President and to this end they would have
all energies directed"
