THURSDAY, JULY 10, l848.

5, Resolved, Therefore, that the decision Of those
matters in which involved the questions of Tariff,
Banks, Treasures &C., may well be postponed till the
question Of human freedom in land is practically
settled.
8. Resolved, That to the mind of the intelligent,
deep judeng patricia crisis more momentous than the
present has not occurred since the formation of our
government and that the crisis calls loudly upon every
friend OF freedom to act with equal promptness mild
ness and energy.
4 Resolved that that the motto principles not men,
SO rte for the old partesis raught with great prac.
teal error and disastrous Consequences lin asnuch MS
gooi principles without GOOD men to carry them into
effect are mere dead distractions and in the hands of
bad men may be perverted to the worst ends of the
demagogue and coruponists- enemy of his
country and his race. ..-..
.. lfby the nomination of Taylor and Cass the
Wllmot Proylso and all that, has been given to the
dogs by both wings and democrats alike, and the
principles OF freedom found embodied now only in
the Liberty party and Barnburners-and if all their
anslavery professions have proved to be Just so much
IDLE WIND as asserted by high and disinterested au-
thorlty-Why then resolved that inview of these
things we extend the hand of fellowship and cordially
invite our friends Of the old parties who have become
weary with bowling the knee, and who believe that to
go 1t again this once,wl be going it once to many
to come with us to the 1escue-or if unwilling to come
with ns-to devise some better scheme of action, and
we will most cheerully 60 with them-Provided
nevertheless, that can in wise depart from the
platform of uncompromsing hostility to slavery in all
its forms and phases-here, elsewhere and forever.
9. Resolved, That the proceedings Of this conven-
venton be published in the Green Mountain Free
man, Liberty Gazette and all others that are disposed
to publish them

A Short Sermon.

Perhaps it may not be amiss to remember the
Printer in my discourse. He is in very dsa-
greeable situation. He trusts everybody-he
knows not whom; his money is scattered every
where, and he hardly knows where to look for
it. His paper, his ink, his type, his journey
mems labor, his living, &c, must be punctualIy
paid for. You Mr.. -, and Mr.. -, and a
hundred others could name, have taken his
paper, and you and yonr children, g. your neigh
bors have been amused and informed, and | hope
improved by it; if you miss one paper, you
would think very hard of the printer; you would
rather go without your bust meal than to be de-
prived of your newspaper Have you ever COM
piled with the terms of your subscription Have
you taken as much pains to furnish the printer
with his money as he has to furnish you with his
paper? Have you paid him for his type, his press,
his hand work, his head work If you have not,
go and pay him of-DOw, Jr.

ly for the day when it would be demonstrated, that
tle love vi TFcG0OW is llC uHStT dSStOU OF t1e Anne
rcan People The signs of the times show that it is
coming.
Resoyed, That as both political parties in the per-
son Of their respective presidential candidates. have
raised and nailed to the mast the black flag of slave
ry and are loudly calling for recruits to fight the bat
ties of oppression-it more imperiously becomes the
duty of all such respect moral principle and the
rights Of humanity, to separate themselves from all
such workers of iniquty.

purpose of promoting our common object

readily offered to her by those who had purchas-
ed, which she gladly took back.
Having paid off the relentless creditor to the
last farthing, and rented small house in the vii
lage of -, she placed the balance of her
money in such a way as to receive interest
enough to keep her comfortable, and is now able
to enjoy the prospects of the old family Bible
without fear or molestation. Her time and at
tenton are devoted to the bringing up of the
bright, blue-eyed Alice. and if the happy smiles
of the countenance may be considered an index
of the heart and mind little Alice bids fair to be
a shining star in the community of which she at
present forms but unit.
At the Westinghouse in the centre of the vii
lago, may be seen every Sunday, sitting about
halfway up the south aisle, lady about thirty
years old, dressed in deep mourning, with the
beauty of holiness, but on whom may be seen
deep traces of past sorrow.
AT the public house, in the same place and at
the same time, may also be seen being in the
garb of man, bloated and sottng over the poison
ing bowl. The one is the protesting widow
the other the protesting neighbor

R iC h G s.,

EVERY man is rich or poor according to the
proportion between his desires and enjoyments ;
any enlargement Of wishes is therefore equally
destructive to happiness, with the dimnution Of
possession and he that teaches another to long
for what he never shall obtain, is no less an enc
my to his quiet than if he had robbed him of his
patrimony. The rich loose all qualifications
because their wants are prevented; and, added
to the assitude which follows safety, they have
a pride proceeding from wealth, which makes
them impatient at the loss of pleasure, though
they have no enjoyment from the possession of
it. The odour of ten thousand roses pleases but
for moment; the pain occasioned by one ofthe
thorns is long felt. One hardship in the midst
Of luxures is, to the opulent, a thorn amongst
flowers. To the poor,on the contrary, one indul-
gence, in the midst of hardships is a flower
amongst thorns. They have lively sense of it
- the effect of everything is increased by con-
trast Riches are of no value in themselves =
their use is discovered only in that which they
procure. They are not coveted, unless by mar
row minds, which confound the means with the
end, but for the sake of power, influence and es
TEEN; or, by some of less elevated and refined
sentiments as necessary to sensual enjoyments.
1t almost always happens that the man who
grows rich changes his notions Of poverty, states
his wants by some new measure, and from fly
ing the enemy that pursued him, bends his en-
beavers to overtake those whom he sees before
him. Wealth cannot confer greatness for moth
ing can make that great which the decree Of
nature has ordained to be little-the bramble
may be planted in hot-bed but never becomes
an oak

MARRIED LTFE.-A great proportion of the
wretchedness which so often embtters married
life am persuaded, has originated in the neg-
gence of triAes. Connumbal happiness is a
thing Of too fine texture to be roughly handled
it is delicate flower which Indifference will
chill, and suspicion bast-it is sensitive plant
which will not even bear the touch of unkind-
ness 1t must be watered with showers of ten
der affection, expanded with the glow of atten-
ton, and guarded by the impregnable barrier of
mistaken con6dence-thus matured, it will
bloom with fragrance in every season of life, and
relieve even the loneliness of declining years.

FRIENDS OF LIBERTY.
TO THE

In view of the approaching Presidential election
the undersigned, members of the Executive Commit
tee of the American and Foreign Anti-Savery Soce-
ty beg leave to offer some considerations to the friends
of impartial liberty They do it, not in the spirit of
dictaton, but with the hope of preserving the unitv
and promoting the efficient action of those associated
with them, and of gaining the cooperation of all who
prize the Constitution of country, who value our
civil and religious Institutions and who desire to act
on Christian principles, in the great work of over
throwing American Slavery st
1t is subject of devout thanksgiving to God that
experience has demonstrated the soundness of the doc
rnes of large majority of the Abolitionsts of Great
Britain and the United States that they are consist
ent with the best interests of mankind in accordance
with true philosophy and pure Christianity; that the
measures adopted to communicate these important
truths to the people of this country, with view to
bring about the peaceful Abolition of Slavery have
been SO consistent with these prncpes and that these
doctrines and measures have been SO sgnaly over
ruled and blessed in frtherance of the cause of Eman
cipaton, Republican Liberty, and Christian Freedom
Rejecting men can see that amid all the opposition,
violence threats and Vaccinations of Shareholders and
their abettors, the cause Of Liberty has steadily ad
vanced, and is about to be brought to glorious
summation. And it ought to inspire the people Of
this country with gratitude, that such a momentous
moral reformation affecting the temporal and eternal
welfare Of millions of people, in this and coming gene
ratons is to be achieved at no greater sacrifice So
deeply involved were the people of this country in the
guilt of oppression and prejudice, that probably no.
thing short of murders under lynch law, prohigate
pendtures of life and property, war, robbery and
quest and audacious attempts to Defend extend, and
perpetuate Slavery would have aroused the people of
the Free States to consideration of impending dam
ger, and inspired them with determination to avert
it. Much as the unconstitutional annexation of Tex.
as, with the consequent with Mexico, is deplored
this great calamity and ineaceabe National reproach
will, we doubt not be overruled for the downfall o.
the politicians who perpetrated the enormous evil ant

An atheist is the most vain pretender to reason in
the world. The whole strength of atheism consists IN
conradicting the universal reason of mankind-Sher-
lock.
For men to resolve to be of religion till all are
agreed in one just wise and as rational as if they
should determine not to go to dinner ill all the clocks
in town struck twelve together.-Dr Scott
Outward attacks and troubles rather fix than unset
tie the Christian, as tempesIs from without serve only
to root the oak frmer while an inward cauker gradu'
ally fots and decays it.

Despair.

Oh! what is there in all this cherries life,
What pang in her DARK catalogue of strife,
Like that we feel when in we turn our eyes
Upon the heart that paralytic lies,
So cold, SO dead all antidotes seem vain
To rouse it into feeling warm again
What like that dizzy sickness of the soul,
Becalmed on life's dead wave without goal
No drop to cool its thirstings of despair
No breath to still the pestlential air
No tanning breeze'its stagnant bark to move
Below no haven-no beacon star above
