Wing Truth AND HARMONY last Ver-
mont W'dtchman in its Qualifications over the
doings Of the Rutland Convention, says -
"There has been, there will be, no discordant
note from the Wing press Of Vermont on the
PLATFORM OF FREEDOM promulgated by the Con-
vention.
The last Northern Inquirer, a straight going
Wing paper, in its comments on the proceedings
Of tie same Convention, says
q" Is it true that the W hig party Of this Statc
has concluded to abandon its best friends for
the sake OF embracing in its arms, and huggng
to its bosom nest OF yipors If these resolves
are only thrown in lbs bats to catch Il few abo-
ltionists with, we would ask if there is not
danger Of the plrtys loosing more than it will
make by the operation! We must confess we
do not like such bnnkun resolutions.
We thank nobody for setting up aboli-
ton idols among the gods that adorn our tenn
pies; we shall give them but rough worship
We have long been aware that
certain individuals in it have been anxious to
drag it down into the mire of abolitionism :
but knowing the contempt in which the mass
of its members have ever held aboitionism, we
did not believe that the Wing party of this
State would ever be contaminated with it.
+" 1t is a nasty, greasy, hot piece Of
business, the best way We can fix it,
The Temperance Standard, whose Editor,
though now making temperance paramount
object is yet among the most influential Wing
leaders in Vermont, charactcrizes the Conven-
ton as Il " One Idea " Convention, and reminds
the Wings of what they said abolt the &" One
Idea party last year.

TAXED FOR WANT OF FAITH

The Vermont Natchman takes us to task, not
Tor what we said exactly of the Wing Conven-
'ion' but for what it seems to suspect to be our
want OF faith in the ulsincerity of their sudden
conversion to iree-soilism, and with an air of
orotherly kindness dismisses us by saying
=" We think the editor of the Freeman is re-
ssting his own convictions of duty, and we pre-
Ter not to trouble him at present.
AFTER the Natchman's much lauded Conven-
zion had "almost unanimously rejected the
proposition, which is being made by the Wings
ana Democrats Of the West, to throw up their
name and organization to unite with the Free
democracy for a party of Freedom, and after
its editor had in almost every line of his paper
given unmistakablc evidence of his attachment
TO the Wing name, its old pro-slavery leaders,
IKE Clay, &c., and all its old party associations

would take us to task for few modestly ex
pressed doubts.-What we said were our con-
victlons; but we freely admit VIC did resist and

forced themselves upon our mind in relation to

matter pleasantly, VIC will relate little anec-
dote, and be off to our business.
An Indian once hanging aboutacortain mission
AIRY station on our borders, where several of his
tribe had been rather summarily taken into the
church Catholic, having noted that, after the
ceremonies, the converts were treated to good
dinner, and being, withal, at that juncture, in
a very hungry condition, boldly applied for ad-
mission, and, managing to get through the brief
formula ofquestons put to him respectfully, was
admitted into full fellowship and pronounced q

by white man, and reminded of certain former
dclinquences, &C., when he at once Jared up

"Mc Christian now! me baptizo and have

JOHN G. WPITrIER writes to Mr.. Garrison az

JOHN G. WPITrIER writes to Mr.. Garrison as
follows:
81 fully agree with thy remarks at the meot-
ing of the New England Anti-Slavery Conven-
ton, in respect to the first duty of the friends of
freedom. We must do what has never yet been
done, convert the North. We must use this
sad and painful occasion for this purpose. We
must forget all past differences, and unite all
our strength. Our work now is not in Virginia
or Carolina, nor even at Washington; ii is here
in Massachusetts,. Get the people of the
State right, and there will be no more of these
hateful Commissioner trials, but around every
nhabtant will be thrown the protection of just
law.
"If had any love for the Union remaining
the events of the last few weeks have crushed
it out But do not forget that the ~ame
power which is needed to break from the Union
may make the Union the means of abolishing
slavery. At any rate, what we want now is an
Abohtonieed North. 70 this end, Unionists and
Disunionsts can both contribute. At least let
us have rnion among ourselves. In our hatred
of Slavery, our sympathy for our afflicted COL
ored brethren, and in the Indignation against
the oppressor, we are already unitcd-lnd let
us now unite, lis far as may be, in action. For
one, my heart goes out to all, who in any wa V
manifest love OF liberty, and pity for the OPP
pressed. Ever thy friend,

JUDGE Curtis, of the U. s. Circuit Court
sitting at Boston, in his charge to the Grand
Jury, last week, revealed very plainly his
wish that they might find bills of indictment
against Theodore Parker, Wendell Phillips
and other participants in the proceedings Of
the Fanueil Hall meeting, for "msdemean-
Or" in procuring, counseling and abetting the
obstruction offered to the watch-dogs who
guarded the Boston Court House at the time
when the effort was made to rescue Burns.
He cxpounds the law very ingenuously, with
a view to make the speakers at that meeting
offenders under the statute of April 10, 1890,
which provides that 'if any person shall
knowingly or wiliiully obstruct, resist or op-
pose any officer Of the United States, in serv-
ing, or attempting to serve or execute any
measure, process or warrant or any rule or
order of any of the courts of the United
States, Or any other legal writ or process
whatever, or shall assault beat or wound any
officer, or other person duly authorized, in
serving or executing any writ, rule, order,
process Or warrant, aforesaid, such person
shall, Oh conviction, be imprisoned not exceed
ing twelve months, and fined not exceeding
three hundred dollars"
After showing what constitutes an sob
struction" within the meaning Of the statute,
Judge Curtis proceeds to say that not only
are those guilty Of the ofense who actually
resist the officer by force, but also those who,
''haying influence over others, use that inhu.
cncc to induce the commission oil crime, while
they themselves remain at safe distance "
"My instruction to you is" he says, "that
language addressed to persons who immedi-
ately afterwards commit an offense. actually
intended by the speaker to incite those adj
dressed to commit it, and adapted thus to in
cite them, is such as counseing or advising to
the clme as the law contempates, and the
person so melting others is liable to be ndict-
ed as a principal"
1t remains to be seen whether the Grand
Jury will obey these instructions of the Judge
who earned his seat on the Bench by his alac-
rity in slavc-catching. We hope they will,
for the trial of such men upon such charge,
in the present state of public feeling in Mas.
sachusetts would exert a happy influence
The defense of Phillips and Parker upon such
a trial would be something worth listening to-

ANOTHER SOUTHERN PLoT.-A number of
Southern Senators at Washington are said to
have declared that they would oppose any treaty
for the settlement OF the fishery question, or for
the cs adjustment of reciprocal trade with Cam
ada, unless it shall contain clause for the sur.
render Of fugitive slaves. 1t would certainly
be no injustice to Canada to extend the provis-
ions OF our fugitive act to that province, if tho
act is right in itself, and not sectional aggres-
sion upon the free States of the Union. But
the Canadians derive their sentiments upon this
subject from the mother country, where the eel
ebrated dictum of Lord Mansfield, in Somerset's
case, is yet held to be good law, and not mere
flourish of rhetoric, as a somewhat inferior legal
luminary in this country has pronounced it,

STATE CONVENTION,
Postponed TO July l3. 1854.

In consequence of the general desire mani
tested by the now aroused and alarmed masses
of all parties, in different parts of the State,
for Mass CONVENTION of its People, without
distinction of Party, to unite for the formation
Of more efficient PARTY OF FREEDOM a, ainst
the Pro-Slavery Policy adopted by the Southern
Members of Congress and the present Admins
tration, the Free Democratic State Committee,
upon the advice of many of the leading Free
Democrats in various sections of the State, have
thought best to postpone the State Convention
previously set for the 29th day of June, to the
18th day of July ensuing.

=" FREEDOM or SPEECH IN VIRGINIA.-The
Lynchbnrg Vrg'nion states that young man
from one OF the Northern States, named Richard
Norris an employee on the Virginia and Tenn
essee Railroad has been held to bail, on the
charge Of having publicly uttered sentiments of
an abolition and incendiary character in one of
the hotels OF that city"
Veal know that -" abolition and nccndiary"
sentiments in Virginia are such as were expressed
by Thomas Jefferson, and in the Virginia Leg
isature during the debate ON Emancipation some
twenty-threc years ago. In Rome and Tuscany,
Prorcstants may hold their own faith, provided
they have it to themselves, bat cannot worship
publicly, and tho circulation of 50 hcretcal -

Americans, we know, are suspected characters
within the Austrian dominions, merely because
they come from Democratic country, and are
obliged to be very circumspect in speech. Any
public utterance Of Democratic opinions would
be ee9mcd incendary and seditious, and subject
them to arrest and punishment Virginia and
her sister States Of the South adopt similar
policy for the protection of their institutions A
Northern man visiting the South, comes under

ton are pranaa facie evidence against him--if he

Now, in all serioueness, we aelS tho people of

be in Austria No better and no safer. They
are to be arrested, it seems, for repeating tho
words Of the Declaration of independence; for
1t amounts to nothing more Or less than THE !;
And it can no longer be disguised that the whole
Slaveholding South are rcpudiating that sacred
instrument, and substituting in its stead the
most revolving despotism of the Old World !;
and if we of the North do not soon cut loose
from them, unless this state of things is imme-
di.tely arrested, we shall surely be drawn down
to pcrdition with them. Who, then should be
