himself info med Of thcprogrcs7 OF discovery IN
any particular branch of the science.
Under these cir uustlnccs, the hest remedy
for the evils have mentioned, which presented
itself to my mind, was the formation Ol a national
natural history society, Of which all the societies
of natural history i'll the country should be aux
lliarics. An important part OF the business oi
this society should be the publication of full
and accurate manuals Of the different depart
lucuts Of natural history, IN winch all the mate
rails Of each should be posted mp und arranged
in thor proper order; aud. after that, the pre-
|paration and publication, from time to time, Of
journals Of the progress Of sc ence in It's several
departments. compiled from the papers and do
mrs of the auxiliary societies and other autIen-
tic sources. Manifold, as II appeared to me-,
would be the advantages Of such . plan. IT
would enable the smaller societies, which have
not the means OF publishing their proceedings,
10 inike known to the world all the valuable
results of their llbors. 1t would bring together
in order all til II is now known in each depart
ment Of nltural history, and it would furnish Il
ready and cheap means Of keeping pace with
the progress Of discovery. Being calculated
for general circulation, large editions would be
rcuulred, hv which til" cost would be so much
diminished as to- bring them within the reach Of
all wh) miglt be Inclined to u.s. tleiu.

} ne t''''i " JNN'Hil ffFtW IN pI luiS NCCk,
speaking Of the recent Speeches in Congress Of
Mcssrs. MrAcuAN and llpsArD, says -
Both these gentlemen have been true to the cone
raj sentiment OF Vermont, IN opposition to the extern
sion Of slavery, but when they case supporting those
who are secretly layorlng extension we shall leei at
liberty to praise their courses. with less qualification
than, with our views, we can now.
This is a sort of gucrril1 warfare that an
enlightened and civilized man, like the editor Of
The Freeman, ought to be ashamed Of. It is
wholly unworthy Of him. II Mr.. ,MEAcnAM
and Mr.. l~lEBARD have proved themselves
TRUE TO THE GENERAL SENTIMENT OF YER
MONT as they certainly have, is it fair and
manly in the Freeman to inSinuate that they are
untrue to that sentiment? We would be glad
to know for what Vermont sends her represen-
tltivcs to Congress, except TO be true to her
general sentiment" by argument and vote p
Will the Freeman inform us what other duty
they have to perform?
The Freeman says " when they Messrs.
MEAcHAM and l~iEBARD cease supporting those
who are secretly iavoring extension, we shall
feel at liberty to praise with less qualification,
&C." Now this species of writing is very con-
%venient for those who cannot help praising
while they wish to condemn. 1t says nothing
specific, but it very conveniently insinuates the
charge Of hypocrisy. 1t is the common resort
Of those who knop that such a charge cannot
be sustained, either by argument or fact, while
at the same time they feel themselves under a
party obligation to find fault. 1t is what we
call the guerrilla system Of political warfare
1t isn't fair fighting, 1t stabs a man in the
back, and runs. 1t insinuates what it it dares
not assert. And this, we say, is unworthy tie
editor of the Freeman.
If Mr.. MEAcHAM or Mr.. lIEBARD supports
Of slavery, we want to know it. II the Freeman
can show any such thing, by evidence drawn
from either the declarations or the action OF
those gentlemen, we have a right TO ask it to
do so. We ask the Freeman to specify. We
deny explicitly that Mr.. MEAcHAM or Mr.. HEB
ARD does now, erer has, or ever viii, support
any man who " fayors the extension OF Slave
~ !" and we challenge the Freeman, or any
body or thing else, to prove the contrary. Who
is it, that Messrs. MEACHAM and llEBARD sup
port that is "secretly ~lavoring extension ~
and if anybody is secretly favoring extension
how does the Freeman know it-and what sor
of a basis does i, form for that paper to build al
injurious charge upon, against gentlemen whose
votes and speeches, by is orcn admission, are
TRUE TO THE GENERAL SENTIMENT OF VER-
