Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1851-04-11

W IT Is currently rumorcd that the Bur
lngton Courier of Tomorrow will in the most
shameless manner, and in face of this commu-
nty who know all about it, pretend that there
was Mass Meeting of the "Friends of Free
dom in Burlington last week We can hard
" suppose there is any foundation for the ru
NOR, but shall soon see how it is. We should
be mortified to death to believe that the strag-
gIIng, lugubrious lank and hungry,ooking
squad that listened to Barber's ridiculous reso-
luton about rights and claws" composed all
the "Frcnds of Freedom" there are in this
nelgIlbo'h1od. The truth is, the Free Democ-
racy Party is fast melting away as other equal.
~ absurd organizations have done before it,
under the fatal influence of such de magogues
as Barber and its eptaph vii soon be writ
ten: "Another victim of in satiable Bogus p
Let us call the attention of our readers,
once more to the first resolution presented to
this "mock-auction" Of Meeting, by Edward
Decker Bogus, Esq. 1t is as follows:
"Resoircd, That the allegiance Of every citizen is
due othose rights which is the duty of every lc-
- gIihate government to project, AND NOT TO LAWS
tr't are enacted IN contravention OF those rights"
And this is the sort of stuff that the crazy
mover advocated, tit is impossible to say argu-
ed) before the handful of men and children in
the Court House. OF course, each "Fricnd of
Freedom" is to be his own Judge between these
rights" and these "aws,' and transfer his sal
leglance' from one to the other, as his opinion
may happen to direct! And a Mass Meeting
is called, in an intelligent, aw-lovng and law
abiding community like this, for the purpose of
getting such miserable trash endorsed! 1t is
manifest that there are few fools alive vet.
OF@lt commenced to ran last evening" at
about o'clock, and for two hours and a-half
poured down without any apparent regard to
consequences. Mr.. Wares lecture terminated
about ID past 8, and good many of his large
audience were unprovded with umbrellas Tor
"anberIls," as they are called in Goshen) 1t
lcaS rather amusing to see the crowds gathered
under the awnings, like damp ROSTERS under a
cart, waiting for mercy! We thought there
was spice of malice in the storm, short time
though we may have been mistaken. One in
dividnal, thoroughly yersed in biblical literature
was heard to console himselfb by saying: "the
Lord rains, let the earth rejoice :"
