to say the least, have always been ready to
do all in their power to render it an %cffcctual
aid-and they always will he.
They see no good thus far to the cause of
freedom, and they can see none in prospect,
from the perpetual outpourings of fierce and
undiscriminating dcnunciation indul gcd in by
the Free Soil party journals, against every
man who ventures to think that some other
mode of proceeding than theirs, is moro likely
to accomplish the desired end. The endless
TRADES Of personal abuse, the long strings Of
irritating cpithets which constitute SO large
u portion of their articles, have been the means
of working evil instead of good-and the
party. as such, in this State, has only helped
to strengthen that party, which in all its pub
lie acts-in Congress or in the State Lcgisla-
tures-has made itself, when needed, the eff
ficicnt ally of the Slavcholling power where
ever it exists. And now,-this ycar,-in this
county-thc movement of the leaders of the
Free Soil party will work, just so far as it is
successful, towards the same result and that
the individuals in it will iind,-to the sorrow

doubt.
We say this from a deeper feeling than any
which springs out of our political party rcla-
tons. We cannot remember the time, since
old enough to give our thoughts to the great
questions of civil freedom and social good,
when the cause of the colorcd man in our
country, whether bond or free, was not one of
intense interest us. Every year has found ouI
interest in it dccpcned. and our efforts to pro.
mote its good enlarged. And because of thi,
interest, We have regretted to see SO many o
our fellow citizens. from year to year, placing
themselves in a position, where their own pc
litical action was made to tell, practically
against Il cause which they too had s%inccrcl,
ut heart.

Avoid Splitting your Tickets

Remember Wings, that every vote given
for individuals on other than the regular
Wing Ticket, because the givcr hopes to adj
vance some favoritr object of his, will certain
ly do harm and cannot do good. 1t will do
so much to defeat the success Of the Wing
ticket, and to throw the influence Of the
County for a party which is sure to work
against you on every hand. Either the
Wing ticket, or the Democratic ticket is to
he the result. All lodges will harm the
cause which YOU ought to support, and will
work for your enemies. They will want to
draw you off from this man for one thing.
from that man for another. If they can sue
coed in 50 doing. they will laugh ut you in
the end. Your ticket is a good one-of rcli-
able men. Heed not the idle stories that will
be started against your candidates. Your
ticket was nominated, openly and fairly, and
with hearty good will by n largo Convention
Stand by it firmly and let not II vote be lost
EXAMINE WELL YOUR TICKETS Split tickets
to iniurc the Wing cause are already in til,
field. We warn our friends to keep a sharI
look out. Put in no vote without being sur,
of its being the right one throughout.

labor for a mere subsistence, there are in

incidents of II positive hcroism which many

HIsroRIcAL I~NcIDENT.-Thc Rev John
Marsh, in an address before the Green County
Temperance Society, introduced the following
pleasing historical incident.
"A beautiful story has been told Of a little
boy who was placed at the door of the Hall
in Philadelphia. to give notice to the old
bcllman in the steeple when the Declaration
of independence should have been signed.
Tho old man waited long at his post, saying,
They will never do it," when he heard n shout
below. He gazed on the pavement, and there
stood the little boy c%lapping his hands and
shouting, 80 Ring rlng" Grasping the iron
tongue of the bell, backwards and forwards he
hurled it an hundred times, p%roclalming " Lib
erty to the land and to the inhabitants thereof!
That SOUND crossed the Atlantic, pierced the
dungeons of Europe. the workshops of England
the vassal fields of France. That sound spoke
to the slave, babe him look from his toll, and
know himself n man. Yes, and the voice Of
that boy, lifting himself on tip-toe and shouting
- Ring" has come to Us and let us ring thu
fend $ doom. and proclaim liberty to our lane
ard the world! We will shout to every phi
lanthropist, every orator, every father an'
mother. " rings and we will sound it througl
theworld, I'VE will be free"

VT. Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

We have before us the Goth annual report.

The fund, in premium notes,

Different kinds of property are insured at
different rates according to the risk and the
means for determining these rates, are found
with great accuracy from a long and careful
observation. For Is years no less than twelve
classes were made,-now six are found sufi-
cicnt. In this way each class bears its own
burthcns, though no kind Of property is cS-
cluded from insurance which would he in
surablc in a safe joint stock company.
The company has insured property to the
amount of nearly fifty four millions o
dollars and have paid losses to an amount
above Sjj0,OO0. The average annual cost
for the last six years, upon each SlO0 in
surcd, has varied from Is cents to 80 cent
on the two classes which contain above fly,
sixths of the whole insured property. Flo
the most hazardous, it has gone as high a
1913 cents.
The average annual assessments on tn
premium notes, for the whole existence of th
Q company, has been but st per cent. I'll

THE LIBERATION OF KoSTA.-In n letter
from Malta. dated August >, we find the fol-

Hungarian, at Smyrna - When Captain

demand kosta. the first lieutenant declared
that he was not on board. or the captain {;

American anchored close to the Austrian brig
to force them to give up kosta. there were

SANpwICH IsLANDs.-The Kanaka ladies
dress themselves in costlier clothing than the
ladies at home. Their dresses are made of
the finest of silks and satins, after the fashion
Of u woman's night gown. They wear shoes
and stockings, when full dressed, but about
their Ordinary work, they go barefoot. They
live in blessed ignorance of the latest PARIS
fashions. and If they had them, would not be
such consummate fools as to follow their absurd
dictates. They have none of the squeamish-
ness of civilization about a spot of DIRT or dust
on their clothes, for when dressed in their best,
on IA Sunday, they may be seen sitting flat
down ia the dust, at the sides Of the streets.
But it is when on horseback that they show
to the best advantage to a foreigner. The!
are passiunately fond of this exercise, and are
fearless riders, driving like Jehu. Imagine
stout, fat woman, dressed IN rich silks, witt
wreaths of green leaves hanging about he
shoulders, with a mans straw hat on her head
with a wrcat, of yellow flowers round it, i
lieu of Il ribbon, mounted dstride Of a horse :
then imagine a long train of yellow or re

\ STRANGE MovE.-Congrcss and the new
Iocofoco Superintendent of the Census bu-
rcau have determined To suppress the Statis
ties of 1850 connected with manufactures
The Philadelphia Gazette assigns as a cause
for this strange move that an exhibition like
that of the census of our domestic manuiic-
lures would place in too strong light before
the American people the vast Importance OF
this department of labor, the very large
amount of capital invested in it, the great
number of persons deriving employment
profit and subsistence thcrefrom, the progress
it has been enabled to make in years past,
under the influence of favorable Legislation
and the wisdom of encouraging Instead %
discouraging it. just what might have beer

The Game of the Opposition Managers.

The game they are after consists of the l..
:. Scnatorship and the State Offices To So
cure these, they want the Senate and tho
House and to get the majority there, they
won t stick at any means allowable by their
larty ustgcs. We hear in some quarters Of
oniclai ana oHlcious Interference bv federal
onl'c-hulucrS; IN others of coalitions and,
generally, oi n strong effort to break down
the wing ticket Tor State officers, and to de-
i.at hlg senators and representatives on tho
h'M QUESTION. Of course, if they hone to
succeed ny Ram. they expect that Whio on
poncnts OF the Liquor Law will lend them
selves to accomplish their plans, while ON the
other hhnd they hope to retain the votes of
TEN pcrlncc democrats and free sellers. If to
this be added. that one of the ~locufuco asui-
rants to the |. ). Scnatorship is n profcssed
friend of the Liquor Law, while other as,i-
rants for office are opponents of the law, it
follows that this plan of operations intends to
use the rummics to support II profeSsed tenn
pcrancc man, and the temperance men tp SUI
port mimic \ nice arrangement, indeed. ,
To this We add an item of information which
comes to us from two sources, to wit -
directly from an anti-liquor law Wing, and
indirectly from one of the ~locofoco state com
mittec men. The item is, that war is to be
made upon the Wing State Ticket, open or
secret, by circulating an anti-liquor law
ticket. composed of Wings. This trick comes
from the cncny.-Wc have discharged our
duty in giving this information. Let tho
Nhigs-aye, let the democrats and free

honorable dcaling-considcr what is their
