'IN VAIN THE NET is SPREAD IN
SIGHT OF ANY BIRD"

So said Solomon in the exercise of his wisdom
and observation. In nocing the advertisements,
posted up at every corner, thought struck me
either that the whig stump Orators have more wis
dom than Solomon, or that they suppose their
hearersto be less sagacous than any bird They
notify whig-free.soil conventions, and that with
the Banner, Free soil, Free speech and Free men,
They thus assume the Banner of the Free soil
party, only they omit the words Free labor, and
their stump Orators, thick as bees, meet their
appointments, and hold up Gen Taylor as the
embodiment of these good principles
How small must their hearers feel, to sit and
hear a great Orator try to convince them, that
Gen Taylor is in favor Of free soil and Free menl
How would the substantial farmers in this
state feel to be invited to meet a stump Orator,
and hear him, by his Oraory, convince them,
that it would be expedient Tor them to abandon,
or give away, their farms, for the simple reason,
that for four years, at least, their farms would
bear neither grass, roots, or vegetables, nor any
sort Of grain! Would they attend such meet
ing! If they did attend and listen to him, would
not the inward thought of each be che considers
me to be an idiot z" Pray,what is the difference
in the two casesl

Taylor, born STAKEHOLDER, brought up and edu
Gated sleveholder, surrounded by slave in
fluence all his days; his home all his life in slave
state; owning an immense property in slaves,
and slave plantations, all his feelings and wishes
and interests embrace the prosperity of the slave
interest, and the extension of slave territory, and
the enlargement Of the slave power; and, by rea.
son of his possessing all these qualifications for
availability among shareholders, he has been
crowded upon the North as the wing candidate
for the Presidency
Can any Of the Freemen avoid seeing, that
the wing leaders use this Banner, this talk about
free soil, as fig leaf covering to their labors II
support of slavery? The birds may not be able
to read these notices. fthey could, they coulc
any of them see the net, and notgo near it.
Again, Gen Taylor in favor of Free men Ht
may be in favor of them as voters to hoist him in
to the Presidency. If he were in favor of Free
men in any other sense, why does he not make
his two or three hundred slave freemen?
Freemen of Vermont, don't suffer yourselve
to be caught in such net, and held till your lber
ties are crushed beneath the car Of slavery

MIR. VAN BUREN'S LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE--ALL RIGHT!

With the utmost pleasure we lay before our read
ers the Letter of Mr.. Van Buren,, accepting the NOM
ination of the Buffalo Convention and pledgng him
self to its platform of principles. We assured
that this letter will remove all remaining scupes in
the minds of any, to the possibility of reconciling
their an-slavery principles with the support of Mr..
Fan Buren,.
This letter we regard as the ablest document that
has ever emanated from MIR. Van Burens pen, and
would do honor to any statesman, in any age, espe~
cialy amid the present degeneracy upon the subject
of human liberty. His views with regard to the pow
err and duty of Congress over the subject of the
tension of slavery are presented in comparatively
new, clear and convincing light, and cannot fail to
contribute much to the formation of public senti-
ment that shall bring back the government to its
original policy of fostering liberty and extinguishing
slavery.
With regard to slavery in the District of Columbia,
Mr.. Van Buren, is still of the opinion that radical
change in the policy of the general government would
secure its abolition quite speedily, and much more
peacefully, than by law Of Congress; nevertheless
should Congress pass such law, he WOULD APP
PROVE 1T, were he in the presidential chair. This
is all that any man can ask. We have for some time
regarded the abolition of slavery in the District as
less than the dust in the balance, compared with its
extension over new territory equal in extent to two
thirds of the original thirteen States For although,
but a few years since, the District comprised one
hundred square miles, and contained perhaps six or
eight thousand slaves, yet now it is reduced by
PROCESSION to half the size, and those best inform
ed Judge that not more than one thousand slaves re-
man and even these would vanish at the bare thought
of abolition in the District Still, this was of i'm
portance in point of principle, and we could not con.
sent to support any man pledged against this meas
ure. But even this subject Mr. Van Buren, is
right and what now remains in the way of giving
him the undivided and energetic support of all the
friends of Free Soil and free principles in the land?
But we will not keep our readers longer from the
letter.

THE CROPS IN ALABAMA-The editor Of the
Camden Mirror has been recently on eircuitous
tour through the counties of Marengo, Choctaw,
Sumpter and Green and has found more or less
diversity in the cotton crop. On many farms was
a short crop, on others full average. He was sa-
tisfed from what he saw and heard on the route,
that AZ least full average would be made in those
counties. A full crop of corn will be gathered.
The Sumter County Wing says the favorable
weather has worked salutary change in the con-
dition of the cotton crop
The Eutaw Greene county, paper say: the
planters are making fine progress in gathering the
cotton crops
The Perry County Republican says =" the crop
of Perry will be something larger thaBthe crop of
last year, and is being gathered inmuch better or
der. We have rarely ever had a more favorable
season for gathering cotton, and if the planters
do not send their crops in fine order to Mobile, it
will be their own iault.''
The Marion perry Review says: Sc From the
best information we can thus gather. we believe
that very nearly an average crop of cotton will be
made in Perry county. 1t is, too, owing to the IA
vorable weather for picking, of superior quality
