SPECIAL REQUEST!

We have ventured upon the experiment of reducing
our paper to the extremely low terms of ONE DOL
LAR Cash IN advance, against the advice Of many Of
our personal friends who feared it might prove dsas-
trous to our interest," but with the assurance of certain
friends of the cause in the different sections of the
State that certain amount should be raised to ndem-
nifty us for the sacrifice. Now, we know of no less
exceptonabe way of raising this indemnity, than for
every friend of the cause in the State who feels that
the FREEMAN is richly worth to him 81 so per annum,
or a larger sum- should promptly enclose such sum to
u.s. and the excess of 81 shall be faithfully applied to
the liquidation of the guaranteed to us, under the
supervision of the State Committee. What Liberty
will withhold his fifty cents if by contributing it
he can furnish paper at rate that shall reach his
poor neighbour or wing or democratic neighbor, and
thus convert him efecually to the truth?

ORGANIZATION.

Every Congressional District has holden its conven-
ton, adopted the new plan of organizations and ap-
pointed the necessary committees. County conventions
have also been holden or called in every district
but the Fourth. Where are our conventions? We
appeal to our excellent chairman. See also the plan
of our Orange county friends for organizing their
Towns. This good old county is always foremost in
every good work. because she has ,oOrking men. In
all of these conventions let the circulation of the paper
be remembered and attended to. This is to be our
great reliance for the year to come and the earlier and
more faithfully it is attended to- the greater progress
shall we make. In all ofthe conventions in Orange
county the county committee will attend and present
the claims of the paper. We trust the efficient chair
man will attend most of them.

Mr. Editor; Dr. Brisbane's Bible argument against
slaveholding, in my view, amouts to demonstrations
He defines slaraH in one word, to be oppreSsion ex-
plains all the texts adducedby Shareholders and shows
from these and other texts that the God of the Bible
is against oppression; then he brings forward some

The great object ofreducing the terms of the


FREEMAN TO
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 of disseminating 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 Slave Traders Claim.

to SPAN under the treaty Of the twentieth of October

which the claim continues to be urged, so long as it
shall remain unsettled it will be source of irritation
and dlscord between the two countries, which may
prove highly prejudcia to the interests of the United

with our treaty obligations requires that the inconsd-

President POlks Message, Dec. l, le47.
We desire to keep the facts betnre the people with
regard to the foregoing claim which has been repeated
y urged upon Congress by the President ofthe United
States Let it be borne in mind that Ruiz and Mon
tez were engaged in the foreg slave trade, which is
pronounced piracy by Spain well as the U. States.
Their captives rose, overpowered and confined Ruiz
lean port The case tried by three several United
States Courts and in each the capves were declared
to be FREE having never been slaves by the laws of
Spain or the United States. Thereupon the Spanish
government demanded the surrender of these captives
as assqSSiaS. Not succeeding in this the claim was
changed to indemnity for their loss property. To
this cam,outrageous and insutng as IS to the Amer
lean nation after the repeated decisions of her courts
the President has volunteered himself advocate
on the ground that it is due under our treaty with
Spain. We have taken pains to look up the treaty
alluded to, and find the two following articles all that
can in any way relate to the subject What ground
can here be found for claiming indemnity for these
captives as property after our courts have decided
them ecmen to all nents and purposes, is beyond our
