Such has been the success of conspiracy
against Freedom. The baekncss Of darkness
broods over the land which God formed SO fair,
and made to be the " home of the free, and the
asylum of the oppressed" Of such a doom
the friends of Freedom have long warned us to
bewaro-but few would heed the adnonitions of
the g one-idea fanatics" The cry was, away
with Abolitionism-down with the incendiaries.
The predictions of what was deemed the widest
fanaticism, are literally fulfilled
Now the question comes, arc we forever to
submit to despicable 0ligarchy because it calls
itself a Democracy. Is our spirit completely
broken? Is the brand of meanness and subser-
vlency burnt into the very centre of our souls
Are we never to be reused by all the indgnitis,
insults and wrongs which the South heap upon
upon us-aroused to eGectual resistance? Must
we support Government for the benefit of our
deadly enemies, and for the ruin of ourselves
There is CLEAN of hope-tho principles which
led on our fathers sstirring the bosoms of many.
When tho spirit of '76 shall be thoroughly
awakened, it will snatch from the hands of des-
pots the control of Federal affairs, and the idea
of true Republics government for the pro-
lection of the rights of the poople-wll be re-
allied. CLARKsoN.

LETTING THE CAT ouT.-For some reason which
We have heretofore been unable to discover, the
Editor, pro tem., of the Waterman was opposed
to the election of Hon. Hiram Jones, the Tenn
perance candidate for County Commissioner in
Washington County. But we have now an ink
ling of what the difficulty is It says:
"The Freeman accuses us of being b" bought
up 4" by the Kent party Had the editor of the
Freeman excluded from his paper, last summer,
a series of communications rejecting upon Mr..
Jones course as Commissioner, the accusation
would come with better grace"
So the Waterman WAS convinced by those
communications against Mr.. Jones, that he was
not suitable person for Commissioner, was it?
Or does it mean to say that an accusation of be-
ing bought up comes with bad grace from pa
per which published articles calling in question
the policy OF Mr.. Jones? Is that the intend ID
meaning? If 50, we inform the Waterman that
we published articles in favor of Mr.. Jones, as
well as against him and further that we never
exclude articles on one side of question, and
publish upon the other.
But does the Waterman intend to admit tina
it was bought up? 1t certainly does not deny

Freedom VS.. Slavery.

EDITOR FREEMAN OF all the anomalies, in
morals, and in politics, which the history of the
civilized world affords, our country presents the
most astounding Itonce seemed that the great
experiment of civil government, based on the
principle of equal, inalienable rights, would be
most happily and successfully worked out in
the American Republic. Here that glorious
principle that "all men are born free and
equal y was frstannonnced In defence of thiE
principle, our fathers lavished their blood anc
treasure. The three millions who formed tai
population of the thirteen States, in defence o
this principle broke the sceptre of King George
and set at defiance the'arbitrary measures of thu
British Parliament. Pure, high, patriotic prin
ciples formed the bright constellation that wen
before our fathers, and guided their steps thro
an age ofrcvolution and reformation. The pro
lection of human rights was the great object tt
which they devoted their lives. The characte
and position of the Republic might well max
every American proud of his country. Blu
where is she now? Bound hand and foot, ant
in the hands of the Slaveholding Philistines
" Liberty and Union," is no longer the watch
word but Slavery first, and Union afterwards
Protection of human rights no longer occupe
the front rank, but has been ordered to the rear
and the protection of Slavery has marched u
into its place. The Ordinance of 1877 torn t
shreds, and thrown to the winds-the line draw
in 1920 insolently and UNANIMOUSLY obliterated-
Slavery presidcs in the Cabinet-isseated on tn
| Supreme Bench-is absolute in the halls of Con
gross. The bludgeon and bowie-knife are intcg
raj parts of National Legislation. Doctrine
which but few years since could find no utter
ance save in bar-room, or in a piratical de
of fillebusters, are now proclaimed from tn
Presidential chair, and from the bench OF GU
highest judiciary. Kansas is yet red with tn
blood of her sons, and blackened with the cir
ders of her towns, and the venal President hold
sword at her throat to compel her into bas
submission. Our Government has deserted tn
cause which sprang into being with her-t'
! cause Of human liberty.

Our Common Schools

THE following communication from an es-
teemed correspondent got mislaid, or it would
have appeared some weeks ago.
The citizens of Cabot were publicly notified
that j. s. Adams, Secretary of the Vermont
Board of Education, would address them on the
subject of {" Our Public Schools" on Thursday
Eve, Jan. Dist, in the Methodist Chapel; and
at o'clock the house was well filled with res
pectful and attentive hearers. The Secretary
explained the position of the Board as being
rather the recipient of instruction from the
State, than the instructor, and anxious mainly
to carry out the will of the people as expressed
in the present law, than to alter, amend, Oh
overturn it. They waited for suggestions from
the people, and preferred the system we now
have, if it could be faithfully executed, to any
which they might devise He then showed
what might be done under the present law ant
concluded, if our people had not good schools i
was not because the law was not amply sufficient
IF there were deficient schools, it was-lst, be
cause parents, and citizens generally, did no
visit them, nor sufficiently encourage industry
perseverance, thoroughness, and skill in teach
ing. They scarcely Disseminated between RICH
and wrong in teaching, nor did they co-opcrat
with the teacher so as to increase more effectu
ally their childrens' scholarship.
I'd, They did not sufficiently reward merit il
teachers, especially in females. He truly show
ed that the pride, beauty and strength of on
schools was greatly sustained by the moral an
intellectual worth of the high-minded and nc
BILE females who taught, and claimed for thel
an equitable compensation.
Sd, The schools were inefficient because the
were badly classified for want of uniformity i
books. These things ought and must be II
moved by the people, and it would be absurd t
call on the Legislature to remedy them. Ever
district had the power to secure for itself sue
a school as it chose, and little more could !
done by public authority.
The Secretary remarks werp highly scasone
with attic salt, and pathos, and detained tt
large audience an hour and half, without IL
least appearance of weariness and the heart
expression of thanks from the people proclaim
ed their high appreciation of his services an
abilities. More than one left that meeting wit
the determination to visit the school in h
district, and endeavor by every other feasib
method to promote its highest welfare.

GRUB IN SHEEP AND ITS CAUSE AND CURE
From ignorance of the following valuable re-
ceipt have known number of valuable
sheep to die with the fatal disease worm in
the head" Symptoms in the sheep affected
are constantly sneezing and snuffing, turning
the head as il in pain, and trying to remove
the cause. Loss of appetite soon follows,
weakness, and in a few days the animal will
refuse to cat at ALL
Remedy.-When first discovered inject with
syringe up each nostril quarter or half a
gill of the following liquid viz: a half pound
of Scotch snuff boiled in quart of water,
allowed to cool and settle. Some add little
assafoetida this has deadening effect on
the animal, and is not necessary to cause a
cure.
Violent commissions ensue after ehis opera
ton, and the worm is thrown from the head.
Many farmers smear the noses of their
sheep with tar in the spring to keep off the
insect, which, in summer deposits its eggs in
the nostrils, from thence come the worms.
Sheep, during the heat of the day, huddle to.
gethcr. with their heads inward and to the
ground, to protect themselves from this in

Winter Lambs,

There is no difficulty in rearing lambs in
the winter season, provided the ewes have
been well kept, and have warm, convenient
place for their accommodation, and are proper
ly fed while sucking. There should be pre-
pared, previous to the lambing period sever
al small pens, about three feet square, with
a convenient place for feeding. As soon as
the lamb is dropped, it should be placed with
its dam in one of these pens, and there allow
ed to remain until it is sufficiently strong to
be removed to larger apartment, which will
usually be at the age Of two days; but pre-
vious to the removal, the lamb should be
number, corresponding to the dam, as the
writer believes all good shepherds will have
their hocks permanently numbered. This be-
ing done, several sheep and there lambs may
be allowed to run together, and the small pens
again occupied by sheep having lambs. At
the age of two or three weeks, the lamb will
need to be fed with roots, oats, wheat bran,
&C., for which purpose it will be necessary
to have small pen, adjoining their dams
where they can be kept by themselves, and
their food placed in small troughs easy of ac-
cess and protected SO as to keep their food
clean, and there will be no further trouble,
aside from the annoyance Of their beating
for the first few days. They should be allow
ed the teat three times day until they are
about six weeks old after which twice is suf-
6cient, and near the time Of weaving once a
day is all that is necessary.
There are several advantages arising from
separating the lambs from their mothers while
quite young: first, they will grow faster as
they learn to cat much sooner, and can al
ways have supply Of oats, bran, &C., kept
by them, which could not well be done if al
lowed to remain with their dams; second, the
lambs are prevented from getting into the
racks and damaging the hay, as is always the
case if permitted to remain together the
whole time; third it is not uncommon for the
lambs to acquire the habit of picking and eat
ing small locks of wool from the legs and
thi yhs of their dams, which is avoided by
making the separation. Aside from the
above considerations, the lambs soon become
gentle, which is of some Importance to the
hock-master By adopting course similar
to the above, lambs may be raised in winter
that will be as healthy and thrifty as those
dropped in April Or May.

ToMAroEs.-A correspondent of the Gene
see Farmer gives his mode of growing toma-
toes. He forwards his plants in hotbed
or greenhouse, and grows them in pots until
they are foot ora foot and a halfhigh, turn
ing them out about the second week in May.
He plants them three feet apart in rows.
When planted he drives down few stakes,
six or eight feet apart, leaving them about
four feet high the whole length of the rows,
and mailing II strip of wood all along the tops
and tying one or two lower down the stakes,
to make trells. The ground should be dug
deep and made rich with manure

forcing cucumbers and melons for early use.
have one which | have proved by expert
ence to be good one, and with your permits
sion will give it for the benefit of yourread-
ers. My first preparation for planting, is
the making Of a good hot-bed, one that will
give considerable heat aud retain it. I usual
ly plant about the first of March or little
later. then procure empty oyst;r kegs saw
them in two, bore hole in the center Of each
head for drainage which |. cover with pieces
OF broken pots or other porous material, and
then fill with a fine compost, and plant my
seeds in them. bury my kegs to their rims
in the dir: of my hot-bed, when it has be-
come sufficiently warm, and the plants make
their appearance in few days. l am then
careful to water as often as is necessary and
keep my frame at such temperature that my
plants will grow stocky and look healthy, not
spindling. When my ground is right for
transplanting, | make hills two feet in diam
eter and the same in depth, rich and mellow
and then lift my boxes from the bed, cut
their hoops, when the slaves will readily fall
apart, leaving clear ball of earth and roots
and the latter whole and undisturbed, which
bury in my hills; the plants will grow
without check if the work is done with care.
and early fruit is the reward. use the GAL
Ion and larger sizes of kegs, as they allow
more room for the roots to grow in, and be-
fore transplanting harden my plants off, /"
and afterwards use boxes around them with
pane of glass in the top. l claim for this
method, over that of planting upon an in
verted turf one great advantage, which is
this: The roots of my plants are never bro
ken Or disturbed, but grow without check;
whereas, upon turf the contrary is the case
even with the utmost care. The cost is tri-
file, as any one can see, for the kegs can often
be had for the asking, as they are usually
broken to pieces and burnt at the hotels, &C.
l have grown cucumbers and melons by this
method with perfect success, and as the plants
get the start of the bugs [ am never troub-
led by them. For market gardeners, of
course Mr.. Howatt's way is the best, but for
amateur gardeners. this will be found as good
as any where plants are to be grown for FAM
lily use.-Country Gent.

Seed Potatoes.

We have invariably ignored the practice of
cutting potatoes to plant, supposing that ma
ture put them in her favorite form for repro
ductiou, and to nourish the young plant and
that by cutting them we opened the vessels
for the evaporation of nutritive qualities, and
lessoned the means of nourishment which
plants draw from the seed.
The experience of the last season has
brought us results in this matter, which, if
continued success attends it, will prove of
some Importance.
Early III Nay last we turned over a piece
Of sod, and towards the close of the month
planted it with whole potatoes. When this
was planted, having few bushels left, we
plowed another piece adjoining the one al
ready planred; this was done in June. The
seed potatoes for this piece were cut in such
small pieces that less than one-half the guam
tity was used than in the former case. The
same variety of potatoes were planted on each
piece, and the same tilage given. No man.
ure was used except tablespoonful of plas-
ter in each Till.
When the potatoes were dug, late in Octo-
Der, full one-third of those on the ground
where the seed was planted whole, were made
worthless by the rot Where they were cut
tor planting, the potatoes were of good size
with scarcely any appearance of rot.
Such are the ways of management and the
results; and there we leave he matter, for il
we would we cannot tell whether the same
course will lead to the same end in a second
trial. Atmospheric and other causes which
VIC cannot control, might change the whole re.
suit One thing, however, if cut potatoes
are as good for seed, vast quantities that
would otherwise be planted, may be saved fol-
other purposes each year. A careful follow
ing out Of the experiment is the only true
way to reach facts available in practice.
