The Free Democracy.

II We may judge from the tone of its press,
and the movements of It's members this party
is preparing to move forward in anti. slavery
work, with missionary zeal. Several of their
papers have run up their Gags for 1855. Meet
ings have already been held in several places,
aud the Free soil clubs which expired by limi-
tation ut the election. have been rcorganizcd for
an indefinite pcroG--and resolutions adopted
to commence at once to canvass the country for
ant;-slavcry measures. Now while We prom
isc 70 help them, with might and main in all
anti-siovcry work. VIC do pray them. to let us
have little breathing spell in regard to candid
atcs. We pray their mercy on the poor candid
o,cs. Why il they were to olc,t them, the
Offices and their cmolaments would ho no com
pcnsation for the wear, tear and battcr.ng of a
four ycoss canvass. And as Dr. Bailey sug-
Gosts they would be likely to grow cold before
the time expired. They may have committed
a Ilundcr as they say, and as we think, BY not
nominating little earlier this time; but il will
be greater one TO nominate now. Then again
il would stand square in the way of any prog

A Home in the Country.

We sec by ono Of his letters in the Nonra.
ricl, that our friend, L. A. 1Iinc, is about to
to plant himself in the country. We arc glad
of it. We say too, every body should have
home. And every body who wants it, should
have a copniry home. We should like to catch
Brother Hinc some day, using what he calls
the " right of labor" chopping, grubbing and
logging, or building his scot" Ho discourscs
of his tastes and hopes as follows:
A friend has sold us twenty acres on terms
adapted to my pocket-to pay when we
please. We have one entire bluff furnish
ing n beautiful prospect up aud down the
the river, aud sloping gradually down to the
railroad aud river II is principally ia the
state of nature, and we shall so clear it rs to
subseryo the benuty of tho location. We
can have beautiful grove, without waiting
ten years for il to grow. Thus we shall live
in the country, where everything is pleasant
aud henlthlul, aud it is hoped that our me-
clauics rs well as others will give attention
to this subject Tie cars will take them in
before seven, aud bring them back after
six in the evening; aud that at n small cost
by the year. Let as many of us as possible
live in the couiry.

Fixed on some sunny slope; spot
Five acres, moro or less.
With naples, ccdars, cherry trees
And poplars whitening in the breeze.

With bells Of pendant woodbino swung,
In every bell a bee;
And round my latticcd window spread
A olump o. roses, white and rcd.

And in dell lhavc "A brook,
Where l might sit and read my book.
"Such should be my retreat,
Far from the cjy's crowds and noise,
There would l rear the girls and boys,

With five or six or seven more,

Free NgGRoEs.-rhc Legislature Of North
Carolina has adopted resolution appointing a
a committee to inquire into the most eligible
plan for removing free negroes from that State.
The Carolina paper from which we get the
intelligence, says:
"Thc free negro population is an incubus on
the body polite, and we believe there are few
who do not dcsirc their removal, provided it
can be done without cruelty, and at a moderate
expense"
Where shall they goi What State or com =
munity will welcome them; Canada may tolc-
rate them. but in none of the northern States
do they find either welcome or protection
There is always something unuttcrably mean
in every phase of slavery, and in all its results.
1t is manifest in the treatment of free colorcd
nifty and oppression at home-crcates a public
sentiment that will be equally oppressive abroad
and thon drives them forth helpless and hope
less to encounter it. Strange that system
which has no shadow of masnanimity or just
leo, should have interviewer itself among all
the institutions &C human beings, as has slavery
among us. Tho North Carolina Legislature
may devise means of expulsion that may be
economical, but it can no moro be done without
cruelty, than slavery itself can exist without
that constituent.

abandon the Liberty Party, aud by Free Soil
votes be sent to Congress, you dcgcncrating to
meet them, whic they remain unchanged" to
that spirit, ho would have answered, "get thee
behind me- Satan" Then he denounced slave
holders as pirates snow he goes TO meet and
minglc with those pirates on the governmental
platform to lcgislate with them, as Mr. Cid
dings said he would, If Slavery were confined 10
the States, not abolished, "as a band Of .freen'en,
bana Of brothers, for The improvement Of man
kiad, for the elecd,ion Of the race"
1t seems to nc, dear Marius, it becomes US
to look we'll to our steps. The course Of Gcrrit
Smith, has given the vote Of the Liberty Party
to John p. Hale. Frederic Douglass has fallen
down to, and will yet fall through the FREQ
Democracy.
The recent success of Mr.. Giddings, cost tho
sacrifice of many, who will return to our ranks
no more. The cup once tasted, there is little
hope Of them. One man or woman standing
on the solid ground Of eternal Truth and nn-
changing right, is of more consequence to the
cause Of Freedom and Humanity, than tho
election Of any candidate, or tho triumph Of
any party
! But you need no note Of warning from mo.
! And tho Free Soil Party had better beware
how they attempt our seduction. Standing
firm to our principles, VIC net continually upon
the church, and the Whig and Democratic par
tics. Nor can tho Free Soil party help being
enlarged by such fidelity on cur part. But
bind US to the chariot of Slavery with itself,
and compel us voluntarily to follow where tho
monster leads or drives, and from that time,

is in the camp of the uncrcumcscd, and only
Gods cxtcrminating thunder, can bring US

]. Q, Adams and The Constitution.

Oar readers may often have seen the follow
ing paragraph of John q. Adams. in regard to
our constitutional compact with slavery. 1t
asserts evident and important truths, which
should be pondcrcl by all the supporters of
this Government. Speaking Of the adoption
of tho Constitution, he says:
o. Yrs! it canno, he drnied-the slave
holding lords Of the Suuh prescribed, ns
condition of their assent Ia the Constitution,
three special provisions 10 secure the perpe-
iuity OF their dominion over their slaves
Tie first was the immunity, for twenty years,
OF preserving the African slave trade; the
second was tie stipulation To surrender lu-
gItive slaves nm engagement positively pro-
hihiled by the laws OF God, delivered from
Sinni; aud, thirdly, the eXnction, fatal TO the
principles of popular representation, Of n
representation for slnvcs-ior articles of mer-
clHndize, under the name OF persons. To
call government thus constituted demorra-
cy, is to insult the understanding of man.
kind Ii is doubly tainted with the infection
of riches and slavery. Its reciprocal opera-
ton upon the government of the nation is
TO establish an artificial majority in the slave
representation over that of the free people
IN the Anericnn Congress, aud thereby TO
make the PRES ERVATION, PROPAGA-
TlON AND PERPETUATION OF SLA-
VERY THE VITAL AND ANIMATING
SPIRIT OF THE NATIONAL GOVERN
MENr.

NEW LYME, Nov. II, 1910.
DEAR MAmus. l never remember time
when had more to write than du.ing the past
five or six weeks and never remember tine
when had less disposition to Pen single sem
torcc.
Multtudcs Of exciting circumstances. have
been constantly translirug, aud as constantly
have l determined 10 keep you nppriscd Of
passing event. But need not toll YOU hat
those intentions have never been realized. 1s
For mouth before the election, this distfit
was in a constant blaze of excitement. The
IIunkers were resolved at any price to defeat
Mr.. Giddings, on tho ground Of his fidelity to
the cause of freedom. Ncvcr was there n con-
test in which tho elements cf freedom and sla-
very entered so largely; and never was there
time when our Political brethren preached tho
gospel of universal Liberty with greater earn
cstncss than during that struggle.
1t was a time of universal rejoicing among
the friends of freedom, when the old veteran
triumphcd so gloriously / can assure you it
was by dint Of hard labor that such n result
was secured. l held meetings in most of tho
towns in this county, Of a character truly en-
couraging. the number in attendance was
unusually large, and many an advocate Of tho
Baltimore platforms was seen to trcmblc. in
no case failed TO present our distinctive views
rs abolitionists, and at tho same timed showed
that those who could use the Franchise ought
to vote for freedom. l think it wrong to vote,
think it wrong to lie, l think it wrong to de-
ceivc, and SO with many other things. But if
men will vote, lie, or deceive, l say do it for
freedom and against slavery.
OF the State Convention, in Michigan, it is
not necessary that should write, us you have
had the official proceedings, and also letters
from others.
My visit, personally, was cheering. for do

am glad tho call is out for the Fair, though
late, trust the friends will bcstir themselves
to make it the most efficient one we have ever
had.
wish 20 express my great joy at tho election
of Gcrrt Smith, hot that ] care about his pres
cnce in Congress, but that the public sentiment
is such thar snch n man can be elected. oh,

osino because this article on our first page is
called sermon, that it is dull and lrosy If
fair, aud therefore shun H. 1t is a chapter
worthy TO 60 beside any ono in Plutarch's Lives.
AS we received the slip containing it, we were
with scissors in hand, trying the cruel task of
cutting down Theodore parkcr's sermon on
Daniel Webster, to Buglc Dimensions. We
dropped them at once, and inserted Mr.. IIig-
ginson's, in part. wo confess, because it saved
us from the rcmorse VIC always feel, when we
have marred by haggling and cutting up the
skllful work of a master. Mr.. IIisginson' $
sermon is no substitute for Mr.. Parkcrs. Like
their authors, they both represent themselves,
and can't easily Gnd substitutes.
