Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1859-11-24
The Freeman for 1850.

The friends of the freeman will be glad to
learn that its prosperity during the past yer
was never before cqualled by any paper printed
in this State. Its subscription list has been
the largest and its subscribers the most prompt
in paying for their papers. In only few in.
stances has it been necessary for its editor to bid
adieu to those who have received its weekly visit
tor the past year, and in these instances the
number has been made amply good by others.
This prosperity demonstrates the fact that
paper published among the green hills, and re-
aecting the wishes of our people, and defending
their interests, can and will be abundantly sus-
tanned, and warrants the publisher in charging
its sphere of usefulness, and materially improv-
ing its condition. The campaign for 1860 is
now clearly foreshadowed by the united voice
OF every free State east of the Rocky Mountains,
In favor of Freedom and the success of true
Democratic Republican principles in that i'm
pending struggle That the principles of the
party may have no modification, and that the
Green Mountain State shall continue to be the
gree nest spot in the Republican horizon, it
is necessary that those papers born with the
spirit of Freedom and reared under the nurture
of the Old Liberty Guard should lose
none of their independence and be amply sus-
tanned.
With the commencement of the New Year,
we shall enlarge the Freeman to quite one third
addition to its present dimensions, and add such
additional ability to its editorial staff as will be
in keeping with its increased dimensions, and
render it at all times the exponent and defender
of the rights, welfare and happin ess of the
Green Mountain Boys.
With the increase of its size we shall COM
mence the publication of distinctive agricul-
tural feature, which will render the necessity of
a foreign PAPER wholly uncalled for 1t will
give the experiments and Improvements of YER
mont Farmers and Vermont Farming, with the
discussions of such an adaptation of labor and
fertilizers as are necessary for the increase of
The value and produotiveness of Vermont Farms.
EARLY in the year we shall commence the pub
LEGATION of an interesting Historical Tale by the
author of the " Green Mountain Boys and
still another by the author of "The Snaggers
of Memphremagog. We shall also publish
soon an original story written expressly for our
columns by new contributor, entitled "Ellen
Howard, Or the Night Hawks of the Forest
tale of our own times and locality, which, to-
gether with large number of truthful tales of
less length, original and selected will be sure
guarantee that the Freeman will not be want
ing in literary merit and interest. We shall
still maintain that moral and religious depart
ment SO valuable and interesting to the Family
Circle.
With the new arrangement and increase of
} the size of the Freeman, we shall 80 arrange il
that the women and the children may have the
story, miscellaneous and religious portion of the
paper for perusal while the old man is engaged
in perusing the agricultural political and news
Departmental will in fact be two separate
papers with no continuation from ono to the
other except its natural relation in making a
complete
FAMILY NEWSPAPER
With this enlargement, and increase of ex-
pense, we confidently ask of our friends and the
f friends of the Republican party generally, tc
! aid us In corresponding increase in numbers
: of subscribers and prompt advance payment
: We shall continue to improve the paper from
time to time, and furnish better and more in
teresting matter for its pages as We shall b,
enabled to obtain means 50 to do.
