BEAR in MrND.-While Millard Fillmore occu-
pied the presidential chair, says the Columbus En-
quirer, not dsorganizer, North or South, receiv-
ed on appointment to post of honor or profit.
The consequence was, fanaticism and dissatafacton
were almost starved out when he left the Office. His
successor came in and hvished the patronage Of
the governments upon Abolitionists, Secessionists,
and Hreesoilers, and the Union IL on the brink Of
dissolution.

Written FOR the Green Moua,ain Freeman

10 the Ereemen of Vermont.
While your minds are 50 intensely, and so
justly excited and absorbed by the thrilling
events that are transporting in Kansas, and your
thoughts so constantly occupied upon our Ma
tional affairs i'wish to enlist your attention
for a moment to the proposed amendments to
our State Constitution, or rather, to the man
ner in which our Council of Censors have called
the Convention to consider the amendments they
have proposed.
OurCouncil of Ccnsors have gravely told us
that it lay entirely their o,cn breasts to decide
OF how many members the Convention shall
consist Now would like to have them tell
us where they got that important piece of in
formation Where did they learn that they
had the sole power of fixing the number of Del
egates. Suppose they had decided that the
Convention should be composed of three dele
gates instead of ninety and no more and that
one should come from Windsor, one from Ben.
nington, and one from Rutland would tbav
have had the presumption, (fur can call il bv
no milder term, to have told US that IL " law
entirely in their own breasts to decide of bow
many delegates the Convention should be COM
posed But our worthy Council Of Consors
nave made an appeal to our cupidity. by sur
costing thar it viii be a vast SAVING in expense,
p" reduce the number OF Representatives, and

to have them elected biennialy. Well, if we
could be sure that they would always be Sc
lected from among our farmers and mechanics,
whose business attractions would call Them pow
erfully towards home, we might expect them
to do up the necessary business of Legislation,
and adjourn in some seasonable time but am
disposed 10 think that through the aid of party
machinery, or in one way or another, our Legis-
lature would come to be composed OF men who
have no permanent business or calling, and as
they have Constitutional right to /" sit on their
own adjournments fear they would be dis
posed to sit the greatest part of the time.
One thing more and have done for the pres
emit You will see BY reference to our State Con-
s1ltut'on' that 1T becomes your duty to instruct
your delegates to that Convention hotc Mey
shall r0te on the proposed amendments, which
they can not weH do unless they elect them bv
towns, just as the trainers of our present Con-
0 stitution expected they would. Nv advice,
. therefore, is, that on the day Of election, each
e freeman vote for some member of his own town
# for delegate, that is, elect en- by towns a,

Another FaIsahood


The Black press are exceedingly studious
in manufacturing falsehood, or perverting
facts, and the whole attention of honest peo-
pie is required to refute them "a lie will
travel mile while truth is pulling on its
boots" We see it stated in other p5 pcrs,
and shall see it in the next Patriot, that
Fremont assaulted Foote while in the Seua,y.
T4is is gross pervcrsion Of '.cts, as viii lie
see. by reference to pepc-s u to-. alAto. The
Euemimg Post says
The facts are briefly as follows Senator
Foote entered the Senate the last night of the
session, with an uncommonly large brick in
his hat, and awaited himself of the first op-
portunity, as is the habit Of people with hats
thus furnished, to make speech In the
course of his remarks, he reflected Extensively
upon certain California measures which had
been pending before the Senate, and upon the
motives of those who advocated them.
Col. Fremont Immediately left the Senate
Chamber, and sent for Senator Foote to come
out. When they met, Col. Fremont tod him
that he had sent for him to say that he (Mr.
Foote,) had just used language in reference
to the Californian legislation and Senators
which no gentleman could use. and unworthy
of an American Senator Foote Immediately
struck at Fremont, and slightly grazcd his
face and drew blood. Senators and officers,
who we're near, doubtless anticipating some
thing of the kind, promptly interfered and
8 prevented any further controversy at that
time.
= On the following day Fremont sent Footc
8 -anote by governor Price of New Jersey, de.
handing a retraction Of his offensive Ian.
i guage, and Foote wrote retracton which
was deemed satisfactory by the friends Of the
n respective parties.
d The facts show that Foote, not Fremont
It was the Brooks of that occasion. He was
c the one who, like Brooks. resorted to per-
II sonal violence, and he was the one who, like
Brooks, was ready enough to back out

COL FREMoNrs SENATORIAL CAREER DR..
Gwin was elected to the United States Sem
ate with Col Fremont. In drawing lots Tor
a long aud short terms-they icing the Fl st
Senators from the State-Col Fremont got
the short term, and as he did not return to
the short session, he was actually in the Sen
ate chamber only twenty-one working days.
In that short period of time he performed an
amount Of useful work which would have
been fair result for six years Of Senatorial
service. He introduced eighteen important
bills, among which we're:
l. A bill to regulate the working of the
mines in California.
2. A bill to grant said State public lands
for purpose of education.
ga bill to grant six townships fos uni.
vcrsity.
a. A bill to grant lands tor asylums for
the deaf and dumb, for the blind and in.
sane
5. A bill to provide for opening road
across the continent.
In an elaborate speech on his Bill to reg.
ulate the Working Of the Mines, Mr.. FIRE.
mont said:
The principles of this BILL as Ihave al.
ready stated them, are to exclude all idea
of making national revenue out of these
Mines, to prevent the possibility Of monopo
lies by moneyed capitalists, and to give tc
NATURAL CAPITAL, that is to say, to LABoT
and ISDusTRY,a fair chance to work, and the
secure enjoyment of what they find"
On proposition 10 substitute for the bill tc
abolish the Slave Trade, bill abolishne
Slavery in the District of Columbia, he vo
ted Nay. The vote stood, yeas 5, nays 45.
On bill to suppress the Slave Trade il
the District of Columbia he voted Yea.
On a bill to punish any person who should
entice or Induce a slave to run away, by con
inement in the District Penitentiary fv,
years, he voted Nay.
On bill to authorize the corporation il
the District to prohibit free negroes unde
penalty of fine and Imprisonment, he voted
Nay.

That NoRTHFIELD " POLE. The black re-

meanness at the prospect OF supporting ii dsun
ION slxleen-starred flag, We are not advised. At
ter Keeling in all directions for one week. it was
taken down by order Of town authority, u
smaller one substituted, and u very ordinary
bunting put upon it.
"An ELoQUENCE, THOU VAST UNDoNE" by
the freedom screechers here on Monday. For
instance, one speaker said Fremont was in his
seat in the U. S Senate aud voted to admit free
California into the Union This assertion struck
an individual present as u little wonderful, and
he yentured to ask if Fremont was member Of
the Senate from California before California was
a member Of the Union The Speaker indig
nantly answered that he cnnldh't = bu thrvrn
from the track by such tactics Fremont was in
his seat, and voted for the admission of Calfor-
MIA I! " And the disunionists shouted--good
Such was the power of eloquence, or---the
ignorance of fanaticism
The above items are from the Patriot. OF
the " Mortified Pole" it was fould too small
to sustain the great highth, and Il larger one
was substituted, and the same 81 starred flag,
presented by the generosity of Treasurer Bates,
at cost Of about $50 still floats from its top.
BY the way, the, Brock flag, Of which the Pat
riot says THE Buck and Brock boys of Mont

its shrcds to the half-mast line. The elements
had wared with the representative of Black
Democracy, as will the voice of the true Democ.
racy with its hypocrisy in November, and de-
stroyed it.
AS for the item relating TO the admission o
California, it is anquahfedly false Mr.. Stay
ton stated in reply to the Ox-Sled Erprees )
reporters arrogant question if Fremont was il
the Senate and voted for the admission of Cali
tdrnia, that -" Col. Fremont demanded tho ad
mission Of California as free State, but d,t

that California was not State, and he coult

Cannot Make a Distinction.


The Patriot labors wofully to make some sort
of row about the Constitutional amendments,
asserting that the Republican State Ticket is
pledged to their support, &c., &c. Now we wish
to call the attention of the editorof the Patriot
to thesfact that not one word was said about
those amendments in the regular resolutions of
the Black State Convention, and only mentioned
in personal resolution offered by the editor of
the Bellows Falls Argus-and that, too, in the
face of the PATRIOTS assistant editor calling out
to him. 10 sit down." and I" | claim the
floor" But after in vain trying to choke OF
the ''spunky Y fellow, who is sometimes halt
right in his principles, they were obliged to let
him read his resolution evidently much against
the will of that self extolipg man of the - Or
Sled Express" who says of the main resolutions
that they " are right in all their parts, &c OF
course he knows, for he wrote them himself " y
And further, we venture the assertion that, if
left free to speak, the candidate for Lieutenant
Governor Of the Black Democracy vii! be found
to favor the odious proposition to reduce the
number of representatives to $50, or any other
proposition which will ha e for its object the re-
moval Of the State Hovse to Burlington Then
why,while this question depends almost entirely
upon locality for its friends, and while two Of
the Black papers are favoiing them, why try to
bring the issue into State election, where in
no manner can it influence or effect the adoption
or rejection of the amendments But it is only
the /" unholy cupidity" of these corruptation
men to deceive the people that leads them to
make this false issue. Why, if the whole par
ty is 50 bitterly opposed to those amendments
did the Convention not suffer the resolution de-
nouncing them to be engraftcd into their State
platform Why COMPEL that " mid profess
ing Democrat to take the responsibility o
: offering highly commendabe resolution to til,
- public! And why, after it was offered, garbl
" and change its language! Here is the rcsou
