To the friends Of Temperance,

A communication from the Central Committee
of the Vermont State Temperance Society, ap
peared in the Freeman on the 2lst December,
ult, directed to the friends of temperance in
Vermont, calling on them to renew their ener-
gies, and increase their ardor for the cause of
Temperance. They recommend the expedency
oil calling meetings in every town in the State,
and at such meetings make arrangements to
have every family visited, the pledge presented,
and the subject suitably agitated.
Friends of temperance, the success of our
cause depends almost entirely upon our cxer-
ton and fidelity; the responsibility rests wholly
upon US. Let us therefore unite our efforts in
this great cause of humanity and of heaucn, and
march boldly to the rescue
In view Of the destructive march of intemper-
ance, reasing that in its ravages it cripples and
ptostrates the stoutest forms Of manhood, shakes
the iirme5t constitutions, and scatters in wild
confusion the ruins of those once noble minds ;
few Of the friends of temperance in the town of
Calais, assembled in October last and pledged
themselves anew, and gathered together the re-
mains of ant abandoned Society, reorganized, and
resolved to engage in the cause with renewed
zeal and fixed and determined purpose. We
subsequently made arrangements for the winter
campaign of our cold water army established
semi monthly meetings to be hold in different
sections. appointed committees to canvass the
town, call on every family, present our cause
accompanied by the pledge, and report to these
ciety.
We engaged in this enterprise with strong
hopes Of success. Our meetings have beer
generally well attended, our efforts crowned witt
success, and our most sanguine expectations
realized. We commenced our Operations will
a small number of scattered friends of the TEN
perance reform, and we now have enrolled with
out being able to canvass but little more tina
half of our town nearly five hundred good an
effective members, pledged to the cause as re
cruiting officers, many Of whom have been take
apparently from the paths to ruin. Our effort
are still in progress and we feel assured thu
much good will result theretrom.
We cordially invite our temperance frien(
througout the State, to adopt the course recon
monded by the State Committee, organize, uni
your forces, let the Temperance Banner be Ii
ted high, and our friends, united, stand arrayt
against the fend-liko adversary, and with fait
let the watchword be, taste not, handle n
the polluted cup"

Letter from Judge Mclean to the
National lntCIligGnCer.

Respect for the Senate, where remarks were
made abusive of myself on the 18th instant in
duces me to make the following statement:
The first accusation was, that have SAID
shat our institutions will never be well and
wisely and successfully maintained and admin
istcred until what he is pleased to call moral in
Auence can be brought to bear upon the gov
eminent; who dares to denounce the selected
candidates of the great political parties of the
country as mere prize.fgbters." The term
"prize fighters" was never used by me in ref
erence to any individuals the thought of max
ing the application to the late candidates for the
Presidency never entered my mind.
The second accusation was that | urged
upon Congress that no more pecuniary supplies
should be voted for the maintenance OF this war
in order that the government might be forced
for want Of the means Of war, to withdraw oul
victorious armies from the enemys country ii
disgrace" &C., never uttered such a sentiment
to any one. My friends know that was oppo
sed to the Withholding supplies.

by the colonists. The institution of negro sla
very and the federation of the American slave
trade, they charged upon the home government
as among the most fragrant abuses inflicted upon
their infant settlement At much later day,
Thomas Jefferson, whose hand first traced tile
great and eternal truth that call men are erea-
ted eqral;" denomnated slavery heavy re-
proach" and great good men, who like Jelfer-
son, were themselves slave holders, have at ev-
cry period of our counrry's history, pronounced
it an unmixed evil. If then, such be- the ac-
knowledged character, and tendencies of slavery,
should it be suffered to extend single line into
territory now free? The dcepand abiding SEN
timent Of my heart-the deliberate and settled
conviction of my judgement alike respond, no,
never.

Gov, RaDSOmS'S Message,

We make the following extract from Gov.
Ransom's Message, for the purpose of showing
cur readers what public sentiment is, on the sub
ject of slavery and its extension. And we
claim that this feeling and sentiment is the re.
suit of the labrs of the old and tried friends
of Liberty Its no time for Free Soil men to
falter' Every hing looks encouraging for ulti-
mute success. The Legislature of Michigan has
repudiated the doctrine of the Nicholson letter,
and placed its author under pledge to carry out
the doctrine Of the Wilmot Proviso. Gov. Ran
som says:
have received from several of the States,
resolutions adopted by their respective leglsla-
lures, relative to the acquisition and control ol
foreign territory by the United States, and the
power of Congress to exclude slavery from such
territory To these resolutions your attention
is respectfully invited They are herewith trans
mitted
The subject of slavery as it exists in this
country, is one full of interest and Importance
II we may apprehend danger to the pernanencJ
OF our glorious and beloved Union, from any
source we may look for its approach through the
difficulties that surround this momentous am
exciting question. That human slavery is pc
litically, socially, and morally wrong, no RICH
minded man will question. That Its existence
is detrimental to the prosperity and happiness o
any people, is, in my judgment equally certain
comparative view of the progress oil the &C
QUESTION of wealth, in the diffusion OF kno"l
edge and in the arts of civilization, IN the siav
