PREPARE FOR THE CAMPAIGN
READ, REFLECT, DECIDE, 4 ACT!

Deeply impressed with the Importance of hay rg
the momentous questions that enter into the approach
ing State and National elections, fully and impartial
y spread out before the feemen of Vermont, VIC have
concluded to offer the FREENiAN,n bundles of FIVE,
ten twenty copies, sent TO one address, for fifty cents
per copy, invaraby in advance during the last six
months of the present volume, commencing on Thurs
day, July g. and closing with the year. This will ex-
tend beyond our State and Presidential elections the
session of our Legislature, and reach into the next
session of Congress. The campaign papers will COM
mencc with the week of our State Convention, and
will contain the result of its doings. The low rate
at which the Freeman is offered, and the imperious
necessity of arousng the great mass of the people to
the crisis before us, we trust will stimulate every
friend of Liberty in the State, and especially every
District, County, Town and School District Commit
tee to make immediate and vigorous efforts to furnish
their localities with light and truth relative to the ab-
sorbing subjects of slavery and freedom. Let this
work be taken hold of in earnest and all orders sent
in previous to, or at the time of the State Convention
so that we may be prepared to meet them.

Interesting Trial for CGunierieiting,

DR.. Salisbury of jamestown, Chataquc county, a
against whom, until this charge preferred, there
was scarcely breath of suspicion Of guilt has been
trial before the District Court of u. S. at Roches
ter, for counterfeiting money. He was man of
wealth, occupying prominent position in society,
was leading member Of one Of the churches, and
yet it was given in evidence, that after having spent
the night Of Saturday. for instance, IN the nanuac
ture Of counterfeit coin, he would go into the Sunday
School the pext morning and take a leading part in
the exercises! lie was a prominent mover in all the
phanhropic projects Of the day, remarkable Tor pety
soberness and benevolence! This was his general
character in community and yet from the testimony
on the part of the prosecution, he connected with
a band of the most deliberate scoundrels that ever
went unwhipt of justice.
1t seems that he had constructed a room ten feet by
twelve, and seven feet high in the rear of his barn. on
side hill, dug out of the ground, which covered
over by plank and on the top of this placed hen
house, so as effectualy to prevent discovery. The
door leading to it was concealed so that any one en-
taring the barn thousand times would not have OBJ
served it The manufacturers generally worked at
night and just previous to the Doctors arrest man
residing on the adjoining lot discovered light peer

editor of the National Era your sense Of the
brave but perilous stand he has taken, by large
y increasing the subscription list of a paper
which is now battling for the outworks of Liber-

and muulfcent support at this juncture In
his person, free principles and the liberty of the
press have been assalled. Stand by him and his

and defed by their trafiic.--Emaneipetor.

SHocKING-A most unnatural and shocking affair
occurred last week, in the town of Edgecomb, about
five miles from Wiscasset Village, Me. A man
named Iiinkham-about Is years Of age, by occu-
patton ship carpenter, with a sharp axe completely
dccapitaed his wife and four Children the Oldest child
about twelve years of age, leaving the heads hanging
to the bodies only by small portion of the neck, and
then cut his own throat most efectually with razor
The house standing some distance from other dwell
lings, the awful deed was not discovered until somo
time next day, when the mother of the man, having
occasion to visit the house, found the inmates in the
horrible siuation described; not soul being left to
tell the tale of blood.
1t appears that Mr. and Mrs. Pinkham had been VIC
TINS of the Miller deusion; but the full foce of its
crushing influence upon their spirits not to have
been suspected by others. paper was found in the
joint handwriting Of the parents, contained states
ment in the handwriting of Mrs. p followed by an
other by her husband setting forth that they had be-
come tired of litethat there nothing in prospect
for them worth living for, and that they had mutually
agreed upon the destruction of themselves and their
children; requesting that their bodies might be depos
tied in stone tomb.
The funeral took place on the following Tuesday.
Although it rained in the morning, there were from
1900 to 1900 persons present at the interment who
were addressed by Rev. Mr.. Dodge.
The Keanebee Journal says that Mr. Pinkham has

State and District Conventions.

The proper committees, it will be SEEM have issued
calls for the State Nominating Convention and also
for the Fourth Congressional district convention to
meet at this place on the Fourth of July next A
more appropriate time could not have been selected,
nor probably one less conflicting with the agricuur
al pursuits of our people. 1t would seem that the sa
crodness of the day upon which the convention is ca
ed--a day hallowed in the hearts Of every American
patrot-and the magnitude Of the work we have I'M
dertaken-the restriction and destruction of crush
ing system of despotis, compared with which that of
our fathers was feedQm,-could not fail to bring to-
rether host Of the truohearted and strong-handed
Men and Women of our good State, and SO rokindlo
the fires upon the altar of liberty to secure the voice
and the qcliop of the entire State in favor of human
freedom,
We trust that every individual in the State, who Is
disposed to enlist for the overthrow of that system
which has converted the national government into
huge engine for the crushing of mems hearts and the
destruction of their rights, will make immediate pre-
parations to meet and deliberate with US on that &C.
cason and aid in the struggle which is already upon
us,

WlscoNsfN.--A few days since when stating the
boundaries of the new State OF Wisconsin, VIC asked
"Why SO large Stllc?" The annexed paragraph
from the Philadelphia Moth American furnish the an
swer to this question:
"The new State, which IS to be free State, will
contain about $4,000 square miles of territory, which
is two thirds larger than all New England, and as
large as n. York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania com
bined, Texas, when annexed, with very small pop
puIation, was allowed two Representatives, thus pac-
ing her political influence in the House above Della
ware and equal to Rhode Island, Of the old States
The manifest injustice of making such large States
north of the compromise line is seen now, and will
be felt hereafter in the United States Senate"
1t has been proposed already, in Texas, to create
two States out of her territory. This project, if car
ried into execution, would give two additional South.
ern Senators in Congress- 1t cannot but be apparent
why so large State as Wisconsin was created north
of the compromise Line"

July nexta 10 o'clock A. NJ. for the purpose Of nom
mating ticket for State officers and also ticket Of
Electors of President and Vice President, and trans
acting any other necessary business. "The crisis has
come, and it must be met" The slave power has de-
handed at the hands of the National Government pro-
lection for Slavery and its extension over territory
now free The South has erected the standard Of
slavery, and mighty efforts are being made to force
upon both the other parties, candidates who will favor
openly or by silent connvance, the designs of the
Slave power Already one ofthcse parties has put in
nomination man who has done more to defeat the
principles of the Wmot Proyiso than any other man
in the United States. Nothing remains for every OPP
ponent of the inhuman system Of slavery extension,
but acquescence in the demands of the slave power,
or noble struggle for victory. We invite, therefore,

freedom to slavery free territory to slave tcrritory-o

chasing the Madison papers,
Mr.. Mcdowell of Virginia advocated the passage
of the bill Mr.. Bowln of Missouri and others oppos-
ed its passage. Mr.. Parey of Massachusetts spoke
at length in favor Of it Mr. Stephens of Georgia al

reported the bill to the House, and it was read third
time and passed. Adjourned,
The reader may remember, that last week it was
ordered, in both Houses of Congress- that when each
should adjourn on Monday yesterday it would ad.
journ to meet again on Thursday next. Few members
only met III each House yesterday las was expected
at the hour Of meeting and, motion, the members
present adjourned to Thursday, according to the order
above referred to.
The plea for this adjournment is to have the car
pets removed, and the two Houses ventilated &c.
required for former sittings.

Gan Yesterday and will probably continue till Thurs
day. had, Of course, nothing to do with this recess of

about the seventh of June next, and also to last for
