Temperance in Lamoille County.

A correspondent in Lamollle County, from
whom we shall be pleased to hear often, has the
following in relation to their new Commission
or and temperance matters generally -" Now
the question is for him to exercise the proper
discretion and judgment to carry out firmly the
spirit of the law, and not bring the Temperance
cause and people into disrepute; much depends
upon correct and healthy public sentiment,
and to produce that we want agitation, candid,
fair discussion, in connection with lectures-we
have recently been benefited by lectures. Rev.
is. W. Clemens was here and lectured in this
County few weeks since, with eminent sue
cess. He succeeded in organizing Temper
ance Society in each town where he held meet
ngs. Since election we have been favored with
lectures in several towns by the venerable lee
turer, John H. w Hawkins, of Baltimore, Md.
and with excellent success at least, he has been
well received, and spoken to houses well-flled,
and highly delighted audiences. His lectures
have made strong impressions, and have done
good as warning to the young to avoid a
course like his former one, and to drinkers to
desist before they are past hope of recovery
If he does not paint truthfully and efectually
he horrible effects of alcohol upon mankind

The Personal Liberty Bill.

EDITOR FREEMAN Your correspondent " Can
DOR" in bis last communication, asserts that
this Bill was copied from the Massachusetts,
bill, and that some of the best lawyers in Mas
sachusetts sustained the constitutouality of
their bill. 1t is truelthat the bill was copied
from three sections in the Massachusetts act
But from recent examination of that act |
find that it contains the following section:
SEC. 81. Nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to apply to 50 much Of the act Of the
18th of February, 1893, as relates to fugtives
from justice"
This section is an explicit admission of all
that I have claimed. And the person who
drafted the Vermont bill overlooked this section
and hence arose all the confusion and doubt
that 50 perplexed our Legislature. And here
will drop the discussion, as there would seem to
be no further room for debate, unless indeed
some vcntursome debater may choose to condemn
section 81 of the Massachusetts, act as super
Guous.
"Candor says the bill was not printed. 1t
was my confident recollection that the bill was
printed but may be mistaken. ain now
informed that it was not printed by the House,
but was printed in Walton's Daily Legislative
Journal. As presume " Candor" has good
means of information, am disposed to credit
his assertion as to the bills having been printed
by the House. NJ.

RANDOLPH, March 18th, 1858

EDITOR FREEMAN Il see by the Freeman that
the election of Judge Tracy as Commissioner in
Orange County was prevented for the want Of
printed votes. A large number of votes were
ordered in time, and were probably forwarded
to the Executive Committee of each town in the
County.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the Temperance defeat in
Orange County is probably referable to the
want of active Temperance men. The Execu-
tive Committee, as | am informed in many
towns, were more than half asleep, and then
there were many whom we call dead-heads, who
have scarcely life enough to drop vote into the
box after it is put into their fingers. AS Haw-
kins says, 60 we want men who will stand right
up to the rack, fodder or no fodder
But it is said that there is another position
taken by the most efficient and active TEMPER
ance men. They claim that the sale of spirit
uous liquor by an agent is fraught with all the
evil consequences. as though it was sold by
person not an agent that what is sin in pri-
waite person-morally speaking-is sin ina town
State or nation that it should be sold by those
who believe it right to sell misery, crime and
wretchcdness, and not by those who say touch
not, taste not, nor handle the unclean thing
If it is crime for man to sell spirits, it i
crime for him to take an Office which requires
him to sell it. Again it is said that the liquor
party should take the entire responsibility of
all the liquor sold, and the effects that follow.
whether 1t raises nation to glory, or sinks it
to ruin. B. w. d.
We have to regret it, but we stand corrected.

POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. We have almost be-
come q convert to the Democratic doctrine of
true popular sovereignty. While an attempt is
making to force false definition upon the peo-
pie of Kansas-that of its meaning the popular
will of II few shareholders, it is congratuhting
to know that Eli Thayer, with his Emigrant Aid
Society, has given the true definition to that
term, and Senator Douglas is still farther defn-
ing it not to mean the popular will of few to
the enchanting of the many in Slavery but the
will of the whole people to the effect of localiz-
ing and abolishing Slavery. The fact is demon
strated that Il territory is now safer to Freedom
in the hands of emigration than with the Presi.
dent, Supreme Court, or their construction of
the Constitution. Popular Sovereignty is de-
nounced by the Administration party as I'M
suited to their policy; the doctrine that Con-
gress has power to prevent the extension Of
Slavery into the Territories, denied by the Su-
preme Court and the only practicable course
remaining is to see that emigration keeps tho
power, and that the will of the Whole people is
respected.

IMPROVED BREEDS OF SwINE.-The Suf
folk is hearty, quiet and thrifty breed
they grow rapidly, are docile, contented, ane
good-looking. They are wel-formed, com
pact. short-leggcd, hardy animals equal ii
point of value, Youatt says, to the best o
the ESSEX and superior in constitution, ant
consequently better adapted for genera
keeping.
The Essex is breed highly esteemed BY
some-the best breeds are cntire black, ano
they will sometimes attain the weight OF near
ly five hundred pounds. Some prize then
for their rapid growth and aptitude to lay Oh
flesh, as well as for it excellence.
The Berkshire is also fine breed, with
something of the general shape of the Suf
folk Essex, but quite different in color and
the length and appearance of the hair. The
skin of the Berkshire is thin the flesh firm
and we'll favored, and the bacon very superb
or. The Berkshire and Suffolk have beer
favorably mixed.

SQuAsHEs.-There are few vegetables cul-
tivated on the farm more valuable or more
universally admired than the squash. The
soil best adapted to the cultivation of this
vegetable, is light sandy loan, but it may be
grown on almost every kind Of soil, from the
heaviest and most tenacious clays to the light
est sands, if properly mabured. 1t is much
like the pumpkin in this particular, though
it does not perhaps possess the same degree Of
hardness, and requires more careful nurture
under circumstances uncongenia to its nature
especially when young. You may grow good
squashes on pasture land, of a salubrious tex
ture, by manuring with strong compost form
ed OF clay potresent manure and ashes
thoroughly Incorporated, and placed i'll the
hills, and giving the plants an occasional
dressing Of lime, gypsum and SCOT. Hoe Of
ten and keep down the weeds. When the
vines commence fruiting remov all superAu'
GUS blossoms, and shorten in the runners; this
will increase the energy Of the plants, and Sc.
cure large and well developed fruit. The
squash may be dried the same as the pump.
kin, and applied to the same uses.

LECoMPToN IN THE HoUsE.-The Kansas bill
comes up for action in the House on Thursday,
but nothing of Importance can be added to what
has already been said upon the Lecompton
scheme, and finally nothing new was said for
the last week of the discussion in the Senate
Unexpected adherents to the Republican policy
had opportunity to express their convictions,
and thusle their influence against it, and also
prepare the House for that maneuver now re-
maing as the only thing to defeat the BILL
Which party will show the most tact and dis
erection in the maneuyer, remains to beseen. We
have, however, great confidence in the ability of
the opponents, and almost expect defeat.

We infer from an illustrated circular said to en-
anate from the Waterman Office, that new paper,
somewhat literary in its cast, issoon to be issued
by our neighbors. Whether the thing IS espe-
cally designed to further the reelection of Mr.
Walton to Congress, or has the more general
purpose of also aiding the assistant editor in
another unprecedented run for The Office of State
Librarian, the prospectus does not indicate. We
would therefore move that the whole I" subject
matter " be referred to our Legislative friend
from Brandon,
