What They Will Do.

There is great proportion of the people of
Vermont who would be pleased to see the action
of the State more directly in opposition to
Slavery. There are three Of the papers publish
ed in the State-Bellows Falls Times, Green
Mountain freeman and Christian Repository
from which we have reliable information that
their sympathies are in favor of more determ-
ined and higher anti-slavery grounds.
The call for a Radical Abolition Convention
at Royalton, on the 10th and 18th, comes from
the committee Of the few of those who have
lessening faith in the Republican party but not
from the great mass Of Aboltionists, who are
still determined to hold on to the Republican
organization in hopes of success. We regret
that the call had not been for the next week af-
ter the Republican State Convention, SO that
the result of that might have been known, and
possibly there would be no cause for the most
radical to complain. AS it is, we anticipate no
nominations, or at most but the appointment of
committee to nominate a ticket, if, in their
opinion, deemed necessary. Whatever be the
result, we hope to see all due cautiousness exer-
cised ere they lessen the influence of the present
successful party 81 division of its ranks. We
also hope the Republican Convention will look
well to their action, that it do not COMPEL such
division. division from that quarter would
be far more Formidable than one created by the
few impracticablsW higs who voted for Fillmore,
and for whvSsss sOlssssp wou1d-be leaders of
the Republican party seem just now to be ca
tering.
As indications are, however, it may be well
for the true friends of Abolition to make the oc-
casion one for general consultation, prepara-
tory to the action of the Republican Conven-
vention, and as such we are informed that there
will be very general attendance for that pur-
pose, -

OsAwAToMIE, X. T., May "a, 1858.
DEAS-FRtENDs There has been bloody work
committed in Kansas by the Missouriaus. Last
week Thursday, band of Mssourians came in
to the Territory, about twenty miles Southeast
OF here, entered Mr.. Campbel's store, and took
twelve good Free-State citizens marched then,
in line upon the hill; and then told them to
halt. There, with the ruffans only ten PAGES
OFT, they were shot dead, or at least, five killed
and SIX wounded, and one escaped by falling
hat on the face at the first volley, and remain
ing SO until they had left. One of my best
friends was killed in this ahray. After they
had shot at them all they desired, at ten PAGES
OFT, they went along and kicked them, and if
they found any that breathed, they would say
there is one that is not dead yet-shoot him
again y and then they would shoot him again.
The sufferers made no plea for life, but took it
coolly and calmly. That friend of mine said
" II die we must, for Gods sake, take good
aim" These were his last words A company
OF ten OF us, as soon as we got word of the
murder, mounted our horses, armed and
equipped according to law, and went down
there; but the villains had left To-day we
organize company Of militia in our town.

before Kansas sees peace but be that as it
may, when freedom and justice require my
help, am ready-even to death We train

Growing Sick"

Occasionally some one takes lis to task for
over anxiety in the matter of our State politics.
But we are inclined to think that as soon as
they see IS we have seen that the object of these
old Silver Grey Wings is to lower the Republi-
can standard of 1856, they, too, will be little
anxious. The opposition to the high position
of the party has notshown itself so plainly I'M
til within a few weeks, but now we have visi-
BILE Object in the doctrines of their new organ at
Burlington, the Times In that paper of the
18th, we find the following:

GREEN Corn FOR SUMNER FoDDER.-As
every farmer knows, there is a season in mid
summer when pastures become parched and
brown, and COWS fail both in flesh and In
milk Some consider this a necessary evil,
against which no provision can be made, but
all do not SO consider it. Some farmers as
we happen to know proved against this time
of scarcity by planting corn for Summer feed
They often use the Southern yellow flat corn
manure the ground WE'LL sow in drills three
feet apart, leaving it so thick in the drill that
no stalk will grow more tAan an inch in d.
ameter. In this way, they secure line succu-
lieut. feed for their stock, from the last OF Jul
ly to the middle Of September. The COWS keep
in good flesh, and the butter and cheese show
no abatement. This corn answers we'll also
for dry fodder, though the difficulty In cur
ing will prevent its general use on large
scale. The advantage Of this corn over the
common Northern varieties is that more OF 1t
can be raised on the same ground, and that
it grows faster. Plant about the middle OF
May, June 9th, aud June 10th, for success
sion oil tender feed through the Summer,

New PARTY.-A few, " growing sick - of the
Freedom issue presented in the Republican par
ty, are using their utmost endeavors to make
the country believe that a new party is necessary
1t is enough to say that this come from old fogy
Wings and'the outs of the Democratic party.
who still hold, with Douglas, that the Territories
haze right to Slavery, if the majority of the
voters SO express their wishes. This kind of
doctrine will never do for those who are in favor
of abolishing Slavery. Let all true friends of
Freedom stand by the Republican organization,
until we shall be assured that the new party will
be at least no less anti-slavery. If the old
Wings wish to get up a Gardner-Fillmore move
ment, aftor the fashion of Massachusetts, let
them do so but, as for us and our household,
we are for the neutrality-suspicious. organiza-

USE OF L1ME-This article may be used
in several ways, very advantageously, just
now. Scatter it around your cess.pools and
kitchen-drains, and over the floor Of your Gel
lar, where vegetables have been stored. 1t
is powerful disiufector, to prevent unpleas-
ant and unwholesome odors. Use it literally
Also as whitewash. Have your old bull
dings not worth coat Of paint fences, sheds,
lighthouses, and granaries in the same condi-
ton? Give them dressing Of whitewash
And don't forget the inside walls of your Gel
lar. Nothing will make the air below stairs
so sweet and healthy as this.

To DESTROY THE WHITE DAIsY-l have
read the inquiries of your correspondent as
to the best mode of subduing the white daisy
in answer to which Twill say | have found
pasturing with sheep ehectual they will de-
your the blossoms, which III a few years will
put an end to the weed. BY the way, it is
an economical way of pasturing sheep, by al
ternating with other stock this way, one week

week the same lot to sheep. and the third

AS ExpEcTED.-The very discreet course
pursued by the BaElinGt2n Free Press has been
deemed too anti.slsFery and radical for the old
Wings of Burlington, and the establishment of
4 new daily and weekly paper, to more truly
reflect the conservative, lukewarm feelings of
those antediluvians, is the result The Times
at once dscards the Republican doctrine of
1896, and abuses the course of the Free Press
as 6 narrow and illiberal.'' This gives clue
to the cause for two dailies, and we are sorry to
think that the result will be anything but good
to the town or State

The New STATE HoUsE.-Hon. Thomas E..
Powers, the Superintendent of the New State
House at Montpelier, is constructing that build
ing OF old and unsafe material and has endeav-
ored to dictate and bully Mr.. Silloway, the
Architect. Mr.. Siloway has consequently aban-
doned the job and gone home. The Republican
papers say " Mr.. Richards, the new Architect,
has quiet possession of the business" We sup
posed Powers was a temperate man !-Ruland
Courier.
1t may be as well for us here to state that the
whole sum and substance of the above from the
Postmaster of Rutland, is unquallfedly false
The material of the new State House is such as
the Honorable Commissioners know to be the
best, and the work is in every way substantial,
and will compare fayorably with the best in New
England. The House will be an ornament to
the State, and do honor to the Commissioners
and Superintendent. As to the Architect. he
was informed by tho Commissioners that it
would be as well for him to retire.

Now here is 81 years to the Workers, and but
IL to the rest of the State Who says the
Mountains should be the dividing line of po-
titical action? Why not let the Mississippi d.
vide the United States Or the Alleghanies?
Is not Vermont body polite as whole? Arc
there any interests over To the west, whiciT- are
not common to the east, north, south and CEN
tire? Are the marble quarries, two colleges,
custom-house and railroads, the Lake, and one
third the counties and towns, of any more i'm
portance than the insane asylum, state prison,
court house and one college, and tho railroads
and Connecticut River, and one-third the towns
and counties, of the east or the State House.
granite and marble quarries and the ends and
middle of two railways, und near one-third of
the towns and counties of the centre? What
is there with one of these interests not common
to all? Is Vermont too large with only ten
thousand square miles of land or are there SO
many more men of good principles and greater
intellects on the west side, who deserve the
greater portion of the honors? or are thew a
nursery of babies, petted to death, and who
must cry and whine because they are not still
petted?
For ourself, we have never seen any more de-
cided efforts towards reform on the west side of
the mountain than on the cast, or in the CEN
tire. Nor do we see any good reason in the
present instance for making the plan of alterna-
ting .fred policy. All things considered it is
right that every county and town should have
an equal representation provided the candidates
presented are the men of the party and times.
Nor do we hold, with correspondent, that the
Office of Lieut. Governor should, necessarily, be a
stepping -stone to the next higher post A Lieut..
Governor may be found to be mere man of ex-
pediency, or of unsound or unstable principles.
Besides, there are hundreds of men in the State,
every way capable and worthy, who cannot pos
sibly reach the office and while this State re-
mains free, independent one, and the liberty
OF all her citizens are equally respected. we do
hold that, if there is honor and emolument in
an office, it belongs exclusively to the people, as
fal as possible, to distribute it.
We have no objection to any man, as man
but the people have a right to demand that can
didates for their suffrage be men of known in.
