No Property In Man. !,


EDITOR FREEMAN Il am glad to leaan that
Petitions for a Personal Liberty Bill are being
circulated through the State. The following
is the form
10 the Senate and House of Representa-
hces' Of Vermont We your petitioners, citi.
zens OF Vermont, respectfully ask you to enact
that no person who has been held as a slave,
shall be delivered up by any officer or court,
State or Federal, within this State, to any one
claiming on the ground that service or labor
is owing to such claimant by tie laws of any of
the Slave States of this Union.''
That is the thing precisely. It just covers
the ground of the Republican Platform. Now
let us see If the Republicans, being an over
whelming majority in the Legislature, willfe-
spond to the call. Most heartily do we rejoice
that the people are going to test the sincerity of
the Republicans of Vermont when they adopted
that Platform. Never was anything more
timely than the presentation Of such a petition
this fall. The Party by their Platform have
put 1t in our mouth. Let us hold them to
their position.
Let petitions be circulated far and wide.
Now is the time for action. Let us sec which
shall be the banner town.
Don't let the Legislature have the excuse
that they were not asked to pass such a law.
You say the vote indicates a determination
on the part of abolitionists to stick to the Re-
publican Party. That such is the fact cannot be
denied. And why should they not, if the party
will live and act up to its platform ? That is
what We are waiting anxiously to sec. Shall
we be disappointed?
Are we doomed to see the Personal Liberty
Bill fail in the Legislature this fall, and the
Republican Party whicha few years ago enter
ed the campaign with the motto " Free soil
free speech and free men, come down, and
signify its willingness to go into the next Pres
idential Campaign with a STAKEHOLDER for its
Standard Bearers or Il Northern ~doughface,
which is still worse, and unblushingly proclaim
ing, as some of its organs do already, that the

issue, indeed it must not be made the issue al
ar"
If 50 let every abolitionists abandon the par
ty and every true abolitionist will abandon il
and loathe and despisc it, And eveay political
abolitionist will rally under the Gerret Smith
Banner of " no L0sc for Siavery."
Say not gentlemen, that by so doing We
shall indirectly aid in the election of a Demo
GRAFT. Be it so. We had rather aid the cleo
ton Of Il Democrat than Snch a Republican
for the Democrat, whatever else may be said o
them, ere not open, unmasked, in their supper

cold OF hot
If the slavery question is not to be the issue
will gentlemen tell us what is,-other than
mere scramble for place and power, a mere con
test for the loaves and fishes And is thu

so, the sooner it is abandoned the better a sig
nal and disgraceful defeat awaits it.
Yours for freedom, though all parties go int,
oblivion. s. NJ. SEAvER.

The conflict between the officials of the At
lantic Telegraph Company continues. Mr. Brett
had issued a second pamphlet in answer to
Waterhouse' statements. He charges the lat
ter with Ignorance OF the facts of she case, and
disputes the correctness of his deductions. Mr..
Brett says that simple ropeor gutta percha-cov-
cred cables have been proved to be useless, and
hopes the company will lay a cable Of three
electric conductors next yeat..
Atlantic Telegraph shares are quoted at $500
to 1880.
The British Board of Trade returns for the
month of August show a decrease in exports of
over half a million sterling, compared with the
same month last year. This exhibits an i'm
provelnent upon the recent returns. Imports
continue to show a large increase in wheat and

A new telegraph cable between England and
Holland has been successfully laid, 1t was the
heaviest yet submerged, weighing 1860 tons,
although the distance was only l40 miles.
The British Association for the Advancement

The City Article of the London Times seizes
upon IA remark IN a leading newspaper of New
LUX, lhat the European creditors Of Mexico
may be treated as usurers, to read a lecture up-
on Reputation il general. 1t regards the hint
as Important, and suggests that capitalists who
may be-disposed to listen, during the coming
abundance Of money, to tempting invitations
irom the other side Of the Atlantic, had better
take warning from it.
Orders have been issued for 1000 reinforce

SAVING Com SEED.-Remember that eve

less a mew oariety-and to have it constantly
improving, save the very best. In huskiag
corn, take such ears as are finest, and from
the most prolific stalks. Ten years of con-
slant care like this, will, step by step, effect
u great Improvement. Potatoes, not being
raised from seed, but emily by a multiplication
of the same plant, will not thus improve.

New PApER.-By reference to the Patriot and
Waterman we see that there is a new paper in
town, called the g Associated Press 1t might
mean the association of the Watchman and Pat
riot. We hope they have associated for no
worse purposes than the raising of improved qg-
r'cuhurdi products. Such crosses politically,
would be worse than " Black Republicanism."

The LIQUOR Law.

JUDGE POLAND AND THE - BURLINGTON TINES
The Burlington Times has long since become,
throughout the State a synonym for Roman
Catholicism, lntemperance and Slavery. why,
we cannot conceive, unless from the relation
which those twin relics Of barbarism hold to
each other. That his peculiar Enatical super
s%titious notions, which led him to u Catholic
marriage by the priest at Montreal, after he had
lived with his wife, by a Protestant marriage,
several years-thus branding his children with
the mark Of illegitimacy, should lead him to
hate all who have a lively interest in preserving
our free Republican institutions intact and in
violate from the blight of the Pope of Rome,
is just as natural as that from his Southern edu-
cation he is led to favor dram-drinking, and the
b%ullyism so indispensable to u slave-holding so.
ciety. All this We have touched upon repeated
ly, and have no fear for the influence of that
paper where it is properly known, But for fear
some may be deceived by it's shallow attempts
at b~lackguard and witticism, we are constrained
to remember it with IA larger space than its 300
circulation deserves. In its last weekly issue it
shoots away at the article published in the Free
man Il few weeks since, from Il correspondent
in Orleans County in defence Of Judge Poland's
decision upon the liquor law. Now we have
never attached any further blame to the
Judge than that if he had had an eye open to
the morality of the community as well as to the
interest of the dealer in liquid poison, he could
as well have given the weight of his decision
against free rum at raisings as in favor of it
We have contended, and still do contend, that
the decision was against morality, and if a cor
rect one the law Should be amended if not a
correct one, overruled. Most certainly we shall
oppose the promotion Of Mr.. Poland, with the
views he now entertains, unless the law is
amended. Enough has been said to convince
every one that free rum at ~raislngs is an evil not
to be tolerated, Enough has also been said to
show that the careful guardianship of some act
to prevent traffic in Intoxicating poisons is in
cumbent upon those having the good OF commu-
nifty at heart.

BARRE FREEMAN s MEErING.-Editor Freeman :
One of the Freemen of Barre thinks it a foolish
waste of words for Republicans, hopelessly di
vided by local questions, to take any notice
whatever, of an attempted bug-a-boo, which
certain Democrats are busy with in the Patriot
just now. Their soft soap is neither relished
by one side, nor favored by the other. Barre
will take care of it all.

the purpose for which they are made, besides
having a self-traversing plateau and self
regulating apparatus to govern the motion of

These mills positively not liable to get out

them more desirable than all Others A first

Mills built on the same principle without
the self-regulating apparatus, will be furnished
much cheaper. One of these mills will raise
water sufficient to thoroughly irrigate two
