OF the compromise" measures, and the fugitive
slave act by Congress through the influence of
'he Two Northern members or props Of the pres
ent Wing National Administration, which they
now teneciously "udhere' to. For proof Of
this, refer to the following resolution passed by
the Wing members of Congress at a caucus, in
December last.
"heSOtUed, That we regard the series of acts
known as The Adjustment Measures, as forming
IN their mutual dependence and Connection, a
system OF Compromise the most concillatory and
pest Tor the entire country that could be obtain,
ed from conflicting interests and opinions, and
that, therefore, they ought TO be adhered To-, and
carried INTO Truthful execution as q final settlement
N pr1nc'pte and substance ofthe dangerous subjects
,Uhich they embrace"
will add in this connection that the Demo-
cratic members Of Congress at a caucus refused
to pass a similar resolution.
The fact that the wing party can now lay no
honest claim as being the only true FrsesOa
party is established beyond a reasonable doubt
land whoever at this day breaches or publishes
such doctrine Is not posted up" in the political
events of the day, or means to deceive the ignor'
ant and bird. Furthermore the fact is estab-
lished, that whoever is fun) fortunate enough to
get the nomination of the Wing party for the
Presidency will &ve g endorse The compromise
measures, and the Fugitive Slave Law.
The wing party is now the pro-slavery party
of the country, has abandoned its former anti.
slavery principles for the purpose of counting
the AID Of the South" (which is always willing to
reward the party that will render itself the most
subservient in carrying out their schemes, and
is now bending its supple knee at the feet of the
Slave power, Crying for help! HELPl HELPH
Did the traitor Judas obtain any compensation
for betraylng bis Master? Ought not the wing
party to.be rewarded q for its recreancy to the
ever sacred principles of Freedom?
In conclusion, | will say if any there are who
are now ia the ranks of the Wing party " which
is every thing by turns and nothing long,"-that
wish to act with a pure and undgi!ef" a~ni-slave-
ry party, they have only to join the " Free Dem
Ocracy" which to. day composes the only Anti
Slavery party in the United States that supports
without flnchingth the great principles ofLIBERTY,
JUSTICE and EQUALITY.
"Come all who love cur course,

Come join our noble band,

From sin and Slavery's woe"

Great Fire in Burlington.


Last Saturday morning about 3 o'clock, q fire
broke out in the old Oil Mill on the Burlington
side of the WinooskI village, which. wholly des
troying that building, spread to the old Grist
mill, the new and costly FIGURING Mill Of II. w
CalIin, the Cotton Factory and several shops, al
of which were consumed before the progress o.
the flames was arrested. Catlin's loss over in,
surance is put at $4,000; others have lost con.
siderably. The Vermont Mutual is in for $l8
90 insurance on Catlin's property, and had the
fire occurred a fortnight earlier, would have been
in for $4400 more, an insurance to that amount
having then expired. By this fire, which is the
greatest in Burlington for many years, $50 per-
sons are thrown out of employ.
We also learn fromtte Free Press, from which
we have condensed the above account, that the
public House of Mrs. N. Griswold IN Monkton,
was burnt on the 24lh Of January, on which es,
adjustment SIl00 was insured in the VT. Mutu-
al. Loss, $500.

Congress-.

The proceedings of Congress have been so
meager The past week, that it would be but little
better than a loss Of space to insert them at
large. The discussions have been principally
on the bill for printing the census, the Iowa
Land Bill, and, in the Senate, by way of filing,
Foote's everlasting Compromise resolut ons. On
the Land Bill, Mr.. Sumner made a very forcihle
speech in favor Of this, and other grants Of this
kind to the States, in which the public lands
lie, for internal Improvements, on a new, and we
think, Just and tenable ground. He founded
his argument on the immunity from taxation en-.
.jpyed by the UrTed States the value of this i'm.
munity showsthk in an account Between the
State and Nation, the latter is debtor TO the for

MILLER MURDERED BIT THE SLAVE HUNTERS.
Our readers will recullect an article recently
published by us, giving an account of the kin
mapping of a colored girl in Nottingham, Pa, by
! McCreary, a Maryland constable, and his associ-
ates, who took her to Baltimore as slave, with
er she was followed by a n~eighbor, Mr.. Miller,
who knowing her to be free, instituted q legal
the neck, and dead, as if to give the appearance
of suicide. The last Pennsylvania Freeman, just
come to hand, gives a full account Of an investi'
CATION which has since been had Of the suspicious
circumstances under which Miller vas found
His body has been disintered, and a quantity OF
arsenic was found in bis stomach, while the ap-
p%earance OF his neck was such as to convince all
that he never came to his death by hanging
The whole circumstances, indeed, went clearly
to show, that to get rid of Miller's testimony, the
minions OF the Slave Power found means to ad-
minister arsenic to him, and after he was dead.
hung him up by his handkerchief as a means Of
misleading the public as to the cause Of his death
If such n foul and attrocious murder had beer
committed in any case where the interests Of
slavery were not concerned, it would set the
whole country in a blaze from Maine to Geor.
gia. But as 1t is, all will probably be hushed up
or denied, and suffered to pass off quietly. Is ii
any wonder, then, since it has come to this that
such things can be done under the shield Of
slavery, that we in common with thousands
of others in the free States, are beginning to en-
quire if it is not time to put the axe into the root
of the tree that bears such a frightlul crop of So
clal and POLITICAL evils?
The crowding events of the few past years
relating to this subject, all seem to us to teach
the same unmistakable lesson-that there will
be no more peace to the country, and no more
safety to lis institutions, till this Misunderstanding
evil is exterminated, root and branch from the
land

will not occur during the life of any person now
living. AS leap year occurs whenever the year

the beginning of each common year to be one
day later each year, and two days later each
leap year it follows that each leap year beg,ns
