8 Free Democracy slipping thro'.

We invite the attention of our readers to the
following sensible letters from wide awake Free
Soil Wings in old Addison. They appear in the
Gaiary. The first is from John A.. Weeks OF
Salisbury, gentleman pretty well known among
our farmers and the second from Col. John Ca
pen, of Goshen, who last year was the Free Soil
representative of that town in the Legislature.
Col. Capen don't take "he democratic tip"-
Free Democracy with him, is quite a different
thing from Free Soil. Mr. Weeks and Col
Capen were both appointed IOWA Committee"
by the truck and dlckerites, and the Galaxy
say s they make thirteen Free Democracy Com.

GOOD NEWS.

The NEW TERRiTORIEs.-Di Dispatches, we
learn, have been received by our Government,
from California and New Mexico, stating that
both these territories will be applicants to the
next Congress for admission into the Union. The
primary measures are now being taken to accom-.
plish the object New Mexico, with its pOpua
ton OF 75,OU0, is aready Competent to admission,
and the population Of California is daily increas'
ing. It's permanent population by the next SEES
sion of Congress, will no doubt be sufficient to
demand the doors 10 be opened to its admission
among its sister States. This will settle the
queslion which has lately created SO much dis
satisfactory to all parties. Pia. ledger.

GF7The Patriot and the Freeman have Goa
lesced in an attempt TO pass off rare piece of
humbug--to the effect that Slavery has ruled
the Presidents appointments in Vermont. We
have only to say, that every man appointed is A
GENUINE FREE Soil VINO. There is no other
breed of Wings in Vermont; on that point Gen
Taylor can never make a mistake unless he
takes Cass g. Butler Locofoco; Dillingham; or
Eastman, for instance.

LETTER FROM MR. WEEKS

Mr.. BARRETT Dear Sir: | observed in your
paper some editorial remarks concerning any po-
llIcal relations, which correspond with my views
so far as those remarks extended. | am Dem
ocrat of 1888, a Democratic Wing of the revo-
luton, SO far as understand the principles of
Government, all the way down to 1919 and a
Wing Abolltion!st, which | consider the only
true abolltonsts of our country. | am Free
Soil Democratic Whig, and shall act with them
as long as they are governed by pure Democrat
ic principles. | entertain no other but kind and
friendly feeling towards any individuals of any
political party, but | am jealous that the ioaves
and fishes have too much influence with many
men in political matters.
Respectfully, yours,

Saturday evening. July %.


Met according to adjournment, and after being
addressed by various members, the following
resolutions were introduced and passed unanim-
ously:
Resolved, That the nominations made at
Montpelier purportiog to be the Democratic
nominations Of the State, are not such as the old
line democracy can STU port, that convention
being composed Of conglomerablo mass Of po-
llticans, many OF them having taken the respon-
sibhty of their own appointment, some seeking
for office and others to destroy the democratic
party and use the material TO build up abolition
ism, which in our opinion IS anti democratic, and
no true democrat can conntenanco such proceed
ings or support such nominations.
Resolved, That being abandoned by the float
ing populuce who formerly called themselves a
branch Of the democracy OF the county, and feel
ing no desire TO trine with those sacred princi-
plies laid down by Jefferson aud Jackson, but
ying upon the justice Of our cause and the vir-
tue OF those who still adhere TO ii and are not
yet engulfed in the dark political flood that is
now dcluglng our country, we call TO our aid tho
few choice spirits who remain true to their prn-
ciples 10 meet at Factory Point August 16 1919,
at 2 O'clock p. NJ, to organize the OLD line de-
nocracy Of the county, and also TO nominate
State aud County officers.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet
ing be published in the Burlington Sentinel.

than "a title backing out" as it was termed at

RESTRAINT ON MARRIAGE.-Th Su-
preme Court of Pennsylvania have re-
Gently made decision reversing one
made in the Court below. in whicn the
question ofrestrant on marriage was in
volved. The facts of the case are thus
briefly stated in letter to the Phiadel-
phia News.
Some time since, gentleman died and
left his estate to his dear and loving
wife, on condition that she would never
again marry She thinking it not good
to live a lone 'Oidder,' appealed 10 the
Court-the Hon. Ellis Lewis presiding
to help her out of the scrape.' His
Honor, to his infinite credit, and her
great satisfaction. declared the will in
valid and contrary to the laws of nature,
and in most eloquent and philosophical
opinion, spoke as follows:
Marriage is a wise regulation, in har-
mony with nature and religion, and is
the only efficient preventive oflicentious-
ness. .
1t is the appropriate regulation of that
great instinct of nature which was de-
signed by the Creator to repleDish the
earth.
The principal of re, production stands
next in importance to its elder.bOrn CO.
relative, self preservation. and is equally
fundamental law of existence. tits the
blessing which tempered with mercy the
Justice Of expulsion from Paradise 1t
was impressed upon the human creation
by benefcent Providence to multiply
the images of himself, and thus promote
his own glory and the happinese of his
creatures. Not man alone. butthe whole
animal and vegetable kingdom, are un.
der an imperious necessity to obey its
mandat From the Lord ofthe forest
to the monster ofthe deep-from the sub
tlety of the serpent to the innocence of
the dove-from the elastic embrace of
the mountain kalmia to the descending
Ifructifcation of the lilly ofthe plain. all
nature bows submissively to this prime
val law. -Eyemihe flowers which per-
fume the air wit1gheir fragrance and dec.
crate the forestand fields with their hues,
are but "curtains to the nuplial bed"
Had the matter rested here, every
thing would have gone on as "merrily as
the marriage bell;" but, alas! twas car
ried 10 the Supreme Court, and there the
widows Joy was turned into mourning
by his Honor, Judge Gibson. who, most
unpooetically declaring Judge Lewis to
have imbibed wrong but beautiful notions
upon the subject. reversed his decision,
and upset his theory in the following
'sledge hammer style:
Iknow of no policy which, for the
sake of division of labor, would make
one man maintain the children begotten
by another. 1t would be extremely diff
fcult to say why husband should not
leave homestead to his wife, without be.
ing compelled to let her share it with a
successor to his bed, and to use it as a
nest to hatch brood of strangers to his
blood.

Give me a piece of your sbingle, John

me then, what you work so hard forl
To get good Hoing.
Well, your oxen and your horses, and
hogs eat that. But have you no aim or

so stupid as to live for the mere pleasure
of animal existence.
You ,oaatto PrOrrde something tor your
children.
That is little better But John, do
you give them good education, nowl
are you giving them oil the advantages
which your means will allowl
Send them to school aciAteTs.
All, Jobnl just as expected. You
care more to cultivate your land than the
minds of your children. You cultivate
your land well because you desire good
crops, and you know that will bring them.
You feed your cattle well, so that they
may mature early. These are only tenn
porary. But the mind-the immortal
mind--John, which, if properly cultiva-
ted, brings forth fruit through all eternity
which survives worlds. and is part of
immortality-that you neglect for your
land-for your hogs, your cattle, and
horses.
Why, my dear fellow. that fine horse
you rode TO town yesterday. would send
one of your boys 10 the Academy whole
year, and how much good that would do
him. How much better he would be
prepared to discharge the duties of cit
zen, when they devolye upon him.
You don't see the necessity IF so much

John, you are an ass, downright dolt
Why, man, the world is a great dea
wiser than when you and | were boys
Then the minister and the lawyer were
the fountains of wisdom. They, with
the doctor knew it all. We consulted
them on all occasions. They married
US, and made laws for US. and thought
for US. But times have changed. The
mass begin to think for themselves
There is, therefore, a greater necessity
for more general and thorough educa.
tion every where. Nofarmer or mechan
c, should hesitate for a moment, bu
should strain every nerve to give all hi
children the very best education in hi
power. Sow the good seed bountifulIy
and in due time i: will bring forth an a
bundant harvest of honor to your offspring
in your old age.
But gnu hare such large family.
No matter. Ifyou really try, there vii
be no trouble; for the boys, if ysu Civ
them liberty, will get along with mode

Let them learn trade if they like. bu
