TEN. odious to every friend of freedom and the
sanctions of this Platform, to be enforced by
the Union party, are that the members OF that
party only are fit for office. And no one who
will not support that system shall be supported
for anv Office in the gift Of the President, or for
Senator or Representative in Congress.
This Union party receives the hearty and un-
firing support of Mr.. Webster, by letters and
speeches, and the recommendation of Union
meetings, to increase their numbers in aid, and
make known the sanctions, and threatenings,
that aim to promote the interests of this party ;
and terrify 10 %inaction all the ignoramuses who
dare to resist or disobey this decree of the slave
power that is thus put forth, and this army en-
listing for its defence. Now Mr.. Webster must
not impute it to any want of friendship to his
person, if a few of US living among the Green
Mountains, construe all this to mean, that he
must be the next President of the United States,
borne to that high station on the car Of slavery,
and sweeping beneath its ponderous weight ev-
cry vestage of human liberty. We, here in our
retirement, peaceable till ave-cOtchers come to
disturb US, can view these Proceedings,-thi
Union party upon such a platform and with
such sanctions, and such threatenings,- in no
other light than a declaration of war upon The
civil rights and liberties Of the Northern States,
and an army e~nlisting under the name Of the
Union party, to fight the battles on the side Of
slavery. TITus HUTCHINSON.

Insurance against Fire.

We find the following j~udiclous remarks on
the folly of going abroad for insurance when
all our wants can be SO well supplied at home,
in the North Star.
We call special attention to the advertise
ment in this weeks Star, of the Vermont MI
tuat Fire hSmu nce Company. To all owners of
dwellings, and personal property, insurance in
some safe Company, is not only a privilege, but
u dvty, which tic owner ought never to neglect.
And what Company is more safe, than the Yer
mont Mutual? 1t has been a long time eslab
lished = has transacted a large buslness-has
always met its insurance losses promptly, and
that too, on a noble and truly benevolent basis,
namely, the principle of mutual relief, to "help
one another" 1t is not a stock jobbing. sprcu-
latlng institution, similar to some foreign Insur-
ance Companies that we know OF, It. does not
deceive its members, by pretending that no as
SeSmenis will be made, @. that the losses will be
promptly met, and aftel wards make assessments,
refusing also to meet their payments, as some
other companies have done. As a safe, well
conducted, prompt paying Company. the "VeF-
mont Mutual" has obtained the confidence Of the
entire community aud for Vermonters, it is, in
our opinion, the best institution of the kind in
which to become insured So long as we have
a good insurance company in our State, we can
not see the necessity or the wisdom IN orr clti-
zens patronizlng foreign institutions. In doing
so, I'm some cases, certainly experience has
shown that, instead Of saving any thing, the in
sured have lost, and been most egregiously hum
plugged. This remark, we know, will not apply
to all companies IN other States. Many Of them
a high standing. But sone others, we
are confident, are perfect swindling concerns.--
The surest way, therefore, is to get insured at
home.

The Quincy Tragedy.

We are pot sure that we have ever published
any account of the transactions to which the
following refers. 1t was briefly this one day in
Feb. a young man and woman who had been
living II short time in Quincy under assumed
names, we're found dead in the woods under cir
cumstances to warrant the belief that they had
committed suicide by mutual agreement, an in
quest was had and verdict given to that effect,
while some clue was found 10 their former re-
sidence that led to the dispatching Of a letter of
inquiry to which the following is n answer

You will please cause their remains to be de-
Gently buried in the burial ground in Quincy.
and cause a tombstone to be placed at their
grave, and let me know the expense, and | will
remit payment to you by the first opportunity,
You will please return to me his watch, No.

of drawing instruments. Please give my warm

tuition, although it establishes the general Prin'
ciple that those persons held to service in one
State and escaping into another, shall be dellv-
cred up, yet it does leave, as one OF the powers
not delegated, but reserved to the States, the
right of prescribing and regulating the mode OF
the Fugitive's delivery, for the fugitive and the
freeman who may be claimed as a slave. ale to
be alike protected by the laws of the State
where they reside, until by a fair and impartial
trial the question is settled whether they hold
property in themselves or are the property of
another,-whether they are bound to service, or
are free.
The provisions of the Fugitive Law are an
open violation of one of the most evidently es-
tablished legal principles and precedents known
in civilized countries, by making the claimant,
the party in interest, or his agent, (the slave
catcher a sufficient witness, while the testlmo-
ny of the defendant is wholly excluded the
freeman ruined, turned into a slave,-a mere
chattel, by evidence taken behind his back,
which puts him completely in the power of his
%tyranical opprcssor, where there is no law to
bring to an account. or legal arm to save.
Another unconstitutional and oppressive fea-
ture is, the attempt to make all the people of the
free States, servants and minions of slave catch
ers, or to be stripped of their property and made
tho companions of iDcarcerated felons.
Are we to be compelled to have our freemen
taken from Vermont, and transported to a State
where human beings are made chattels by law,
and robbed Of their liberty for life, upon the
simple affidavit of the claimant, while the testi.
mony of the unfortunate sufferer is rejected ? -
If so, shall we not arouse the slumbers and ava
ken the spirit Of an Allen, who once, "in the
nam of the Great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress" assumed to assert and defend our
rights? As a proof that some Of that same
split is lurking in the bosoms of some of the
froemen of our Green Mountain State, we have
only to refer to an Act passed at the last session
of its Legislature, relating TO Fugitive Slaves,
and their right to a trial by Jury.

The FUGITIvE SLAVE ACT IN THE VEST
lNDIEs.-By Bermuda papers to March 4th,
received in this city. we learn that in the
Barbados House of Assembly a despatch
from the Secretary of State was read, in
which he recommended that inducements
should be held out for the settlement in the
West India colonies of fugitive slaves from
America The editor suggests that this
must mean free colored persons, or perhaps
fugitive slaves now in Canada. A meeting
had been held by the people of Barbados
Tor the purpose of sympatbising with their
brethren in America on the passage of the
fugitive slave bill. Resolutions were pass
ed denouncing the act, and "that their ut
most endeayors would be useI to collect a
fund to aid fugitiyes in escaping from such
injustice, tyranny, and oppression" Four
hundred and ~hity-two re-captured Africans
had arrived at Demerara from Sierra Leone.

ERRATA.--About midway of the article in
our last headed "The Next President" and
signed by T. Hutchinson, in remarking on the
kind of Tariff that would suit the South, after
the clause " SLAVE labor wants the export Of her
product, phich blythe Constitution is free Of duty,"
the following sentence, which is wanted to make
the argument hang together, was accidentally
and she wants the avails of heI
products to be imported free of duty"

HEAVY DAMAGEs.-In the case of Oramel
D. Matthews Us. the Wlnooski Turnpike Com
pany, tried last week in our County Court, the
Jury awarded the sum of S ZOOS 70 for injuries
received in his shoulder, by being thrown from
a wagon or overturned on that road. The facts
were substantially that the Vermont Central
Railroad Co., having begun to grade over a por-
ton of the turnpike and turned it into a new
place, had neglected to put up any guards or
guide, or if the latter, it had fallen down and
the plaintiff not knowing of the alteration, drove
on and was upset, in the dark, by which some Of
his shoulder bones were SO broken as to have in
u great measure disabled him ever since. The
case. we understand, is to be renewed, or judg-
ment arrested.

Fugitive Slave Law in Marsh
field.

BosroN, Wednesday, March 5.
The citizens of the town of Marshfeld, the
place of Daniel Webster's residence, adopted, at
their late town meeting held day before yester-
day, March 3, a preamble and series of resolu-
tons, by a vote of 100 to "a, pronouncing the
Fugitive Slave act unconstitutional. They say
1t is so, in that, among others, it violates that
provision of the Constitution, which declares
that no bill of attalnder or er post tact0 law shall
be passed that which declares that no man shall
be deprived ofllfe or liberty without due process
of law and that men charged with crime or
whose interests are at stake in suits at common
law involving a sum equal to 800 shall be emit
tied to a trial by Jury. Further, they declare
that this act is utterly repugnant to our moral
sense, a disgrace to the civilization of the age,
aud clearly at variance with the whole spirit of
the Christian faith.
The resolutions are very strong. They main.
tain that until we are prepared to rcpudiate the
principles Of the Declaration of independence
and ALLURE all idea OF justice and humanity, we
can render no voluntary obedience to this act.
The second resolution is as follows:
ReSolUed, That while we love and defend the
Union that secures the objects for which this
was said to be established, we are not to be de-
TERED by any threats of d%isunion, or by any feaT
OF evils, immediate or remote, present or future,
from using all just and lawful means to aid and
assist those who have the manliness and cour-
age to escape the prison house of bondage.
The third and fourth declare that while they
desire liberty for themselves, and retain a spark
of the spirit which led the Pilgrims across the
Ocean, while they remember the golden rule and
recognize the obligations of charity, and love.
and good will, their homes shall be open to vel
come the hunted fugitive as he passes their
doors, in his flight from the national bloodhounds
who are baying Oil his track.
They commend to every fugitive from Slavery
the glorious sentiment of Patrick ~HOnry-"giye
me liberty or give me death"
The preamble and resolutions were orderd to
be printed upon the public official records of the
town.-TTbune.

The Line Storm.

The equinoctiaI storm on the 18th and 18th
was unusually violent along the coast. In Bos-
ton the snow fell over a foot deep while the
tides driven by the fury of the winds out at sea,
rose higher than for the last twenty years, over
flowing the wharves and lower streets, and doing
great damage to flour, provisions, &C., stored in
the basement rooms OF the submerged sections
in the city. In New York, Philadelphia, and in
ports further South, the storm was very severe.
No wrecks, however, are yet reported.
