comes from tina Slave party, the English of it
is Slavery
Freedom and Slavery comprise every thing.
The Slave Power should be specially kept in
mind: for that is the Great Dragon with fiery
tail, that scorcies Freedom, Whenever they come

Dental election must be great day for our
country, either to crown Slavery upon his arts
tocratic throne, or make him get off the saddle,
and let Freedom ride unmolested. If the friends

While engaged in doing battle to our Foes, we
do not wish to be understood as having lost sight
of our friends. We are fully pursuaded of the
wachlulness of the friends of Freedom, and
that they are impatient for the struggle. That
the people of the State are prepared to act as

now presented, as soon as the enemy shall enter
the field. And that whatever the Nation may
do witt, its diversified interests, the people of the

The Councillor Amendments

In another place we give the address Of the
Council of Censors upon their proposed amend
ments to the constitution, and which were adop.
ted at their recent session. AS we have be ore
published the amendments and ordinance, the
matter is-now fully beforedhe people Whether
it will be recognised as thing for political effect,
as some papers Tor paper) has already attempt
ed to make il, remains to be seen. As yet, pap
ers of all political shades have indiscrminately
and without regard to political connections express
sed opinions foTsor against the amendments as
their conSissies dedicated. For instance, all the
administralion'papers in the State excepting the
Patriot favor the amendments. rs well as the
manner of calling the convention to adopt them.
( Again, the ST.. Adams Messenger, the Bratle
boro Republican &c, are in favor, while the
Watchman is, like its patriotic neighbor, oppos-
ed to them. The FREEMAN has not expressed
an opinion in favor of all the proposed amend
ments, nor as yet in opposition to them all. We
cannot, however, see the policy of calling the
convention TO adopt them in the manner proposed
| by the Council, unless it be that no other mode
would ensure the adoption of that one all-imporl'
ant amendment, that of reducing the number o.
representatives to $50 And this looks to US
like disposition to grab the power from the peo
pie. Give The people an opportunity of voting
away their privilege of representation which il
they do, then have zoe no objection.
| If as has been suggested, the sole reason fol
wishing that amendment adopted is TO gain con
troll over the people of the east side of the State
and to move the State House, then will the PEG
pie oppose it for sundry reasons If that is no
the purpose, stir, the Federal Government rec
ognses the right of a body of inhabitants II
have town organization and also their prlvalieg
of representation to take care of the interests o
such town, as well as the general interests o
the State. And if perchance man or hody o
men should be f und to have been sent to repre-
sent the interest of a few private persons, thel
have the people ample power in the Senate tt
prevent legislation for private interests
Let the matter be discussed. If the aim 0
the Councillor amendments is the good Of on
State Government, then uphold them; if 70
some other purpose, then be prepared 10 conlro
| them.

FRAUD -CHEATiNG A PRINTER Some per-
son has passed counterfeit two dollar bill, or
the "Uuiou Bank, Montreal upon us in pay.
ment for the FREEMAN, receiving fifty cents il
change. The only reason we can give for no
knowing it to be bad, is that being a printer, VIZ
see so little money as not to know the difference
We think there is strange philosophy in
mans paying for his paper in advance and receiv
ing the Editors thanks, knowing the while tina
he is defrauding him. Now if the person viii
enclose US good bill he will much oblige us
If he does not we hope the rain may rot his seed
the frost may kill his half grown crops, tia
madness may seize his dog, murlan infect hi
cattle the devil enter his swine, in short that al
the plaques written in the book of "Priuler,
Devils may be added to his life.

Take white cotton cloth, Of close texture
stretch it, and nail it on frames of any size
you wish mix two ounces Of lime-water, -four
ounces Of lnseed oil, one ounce white OF eggs
separately, two ounces Of yolk Of eggs; mix
the lime aud oil with a very gentle heat, beat
the eggs separately, and mix with the former.
Spread the mixture with paint-brush, over
the cloth, allowing each coat to dry before
applying another, until they become water
proof. The following are some Of the advan-
tages these shades possess over glass:
l. The cost being hardly one-fourth.
2. Repairs are easily aud eheapy made.
3. They are light they do not require
watering, no matter how intense tho heat Of
the sun, the plants are never struck down, or
faded, or checked in growth ; neither do they
grow up long, sickly, and weakly, as they do
under glass, and still their is abundance of
light.
4. The heat entirely arising from below is
cquable and temperate, which is a great object
The vapor arising from the manure and earth
is condensed by the cool air passing over the
surface of the shade, and hangs in drops up
on the inside, and therefore the plants do not
require so frequent watering. II the frames
or stretchers are made large, they should be
intorsected with cross bars about foot square
to support the cloth. These articles are just
the thing for bringing forward flower seeds in
season for transplanting.
For forcing early melons, tomatoes, etc., it
is especially adapted as the cloth Can be
tackled to boxes of any required size, and
cut to fit them, Little, rough, square boxes
of the proper size and height, covered with
the prepared cloth, can be placed over the
hills in which tomato, melon, or other seeds
are planted, and the plants allowed to atand
without transplanting until all danger Of
frost is over, when Ihe boxes may be taken of
and packed away carefully for another season

Address Of the Council of Censors

To the people Of the State Of Vermont:
The Council of Consors elected on the last
Wednesday of March, A. D. 1876, having
closed their other labors, would submit to you
this Address, referring briefly to the result of
their deliberations.
The various subjects referring to the Council
for consideration, and the duties and powers
assigned US, are enumerated in the forty
third article of tho Constitution.
We have made inquiry whether the Legis-
lative and Executive branches OF the govern
ment having performed their duty as guard
ians of the people, aud believe that both of
said branches of government in the discharge
of their respective duties, have cndoavored to
preserve the right, and promote the peace
happiness Of this Commonwealth The at
tention Of the Council, however, has been
called, to the fact, that the Legislature for
several years, has neg lected to elect State
Superintendent of Common Schools, by rea-
son OF which neglect, an important Office, for
a long period Of time, has been and still re-.
mains vacant. The law now in force, which
regulate our system OF Common Schools, fur
nish satisfactory evidence that the people re-
gard the subject OF vital Importance on which
depend the best interests aud prosperity of
the State.-The passage Of the act, by which
the above named Office was created, and the
fact that several sessions, of the Legislature
have been held since its passage, at which its
repeal might have been sought for and obtain
ed, if desired by the people, required the
Legislature to fill the Office agreeably to the
provisions of law, which they were under
solemn obligation to support or repeal In
view of the facts, the Council feel impelled
to say that the neglect of the Legislature to
fill said office, or to repeal the law by which
it was created, was in violation of the Con-
stitution and Laws of the State; subverslve
of the right of the people; and it has furnish
ed precedent in the history of legislative
proceedings, which no subsequent Legislature
should feel at liberty to follow.
The Council have made inquiry whether
the public taxes have been justly laid and
collected in all parts of this Commonwealth,
and on this subject We find no cause of com.
plaint
The Council have had under their consid.
Grafton that part ct the article of the Con.
stitution which requires them to examine

Raising Potatoes Under Straw.

Raising Potatoes Under Straw.
Several of our correspondents, within
year, have spoken favorably Of the practice
of planting potatoes and covering with straw,
both as less laborious and more profitable
method of raising that crop. The idea is
not pew to us. As long ago as 1924, we saw
this method practiced in Yeralont, and it was
reported highly successful, but for some rea-
son it has not come into general use. The
experiments, we saw tried were by selecting
a short pasture field, dropping the seed at
sutible distances over the ground, and then
covering the whole with a coat cf straw to
the depth of foot or more, In the fall, the
straw was raked off aud the potatoes picked
up, all dry. In wet season this plan was
thought to be very effective. The editor of
the Pike county Ill. J Free Press has pre-
scented with potatoes raised the last by
a Mr.. Shipman of that vicinity, and details
as follows:
Mr.. Shipman informed us that he planted
them in the usual manner, then covered them
to the depth of about six inches with straw !:
after this no futher cultivation was required
the straw kept down the weeds, and the
potatoes were not disturbed until they were
dug. Not only has this method procured him
a very superior potato, but it has this year
broug hit him an extraordinary yield bush
els to the square rod, OR at the rate of $40
bushels to the acre.
He has tried this mode Of culture for three
years past, and has in every instance found
it to bring results superior to the common
method. This year he has planted at three
different times, with the following results:
Early in April he planted Meshanocks in
both ways, and piukeyes under the straw all
were in the same kind Of ground. The Mesh
anoeks cultivated yielded two bushels and
one peck to the square rod those covered
with straw, four bushels and one peck and
the pinkeyes covered four bushels.
Pinkeyes planted on the 24th of May, cover
ed with straw, yielded two and half bushels
and four qu rts to the square rod. They
we're the smallest potatoes.
Pinkeyes planted about the last of June,
covered brought two bushels and one quart
to the square rod. These, although the small
est yield, were the largest potatoes, aud of the
best quality Worcester Palladium, april

RENoyATING OLD APPLE TREES Many
trees decay prematurcly, and many be easily
resuscitatcd. All that is necessary to effect
this object, is to pruno judiciousy in May or
june stir the soil thoroughly around the roots,
scrape the bark and clean 1t by washing in
soap suds, and apply some strong and stmu-
lating manure. Bone-dust is prehaps one of
the most economical articles that Gun be APP
piled, because the most Immediately ehicacous.
Its effects are almost instantaneous improve.

piled early in the spring, and carefully cover
