such spirit as this still existing in the South,
spirit of conservatism on the part Of the North
would operate like the letting weeds grow in a
field of corn. 1t would be more wise than the
god Hercules himself, who suggested to the
stalled WAGNER that he had better apply his
own shoulder to the wheel first.
In conclusion, VIC may say that these cries of
dissolution so constantly repeated have become
a nuisance against which all the followers Of
liberty have the right to a most earnest and eff
existence counts at least half in estimating the
value of our livesj and to have it constantly
endangered by the threats of unprincipled des-
peration, is like the gloom of living in land
of robbers, where no mans life or property is
safe at any moment. Is it for this that our
fathers fought, struggled and bled? Have we,
their descendants, become already so much en-
shaved that we are willing that the glorious tenn
pie to Liberty which they erected through so
much serious suffering and prayer, should stand
at the mercy, at any moment, of some foolish,
half-crazed Erostratus? Is human liberty Of
no greater worth than thsP
The very homespun habi' iments OF half econ
omy and half mourning to which our ancestors
were impellcd in the defence of their indepcn-
dence and liberty, are now aped in silly mocke-
ry by some of oer Southern brethren for the
defence of slavery. Is this spirit of concilia-
ton and conservatism? J.w.p.

JUDGE REDFIELDs recent contribution to the
New York Chmchmdn has excited so much in
terest that we have concluded to reproduce it
this week entire, even to the exclusion of some
other matters Of greater temporary interest.
Our readers will of course understand that the
itdiicised portions were so printed for our own
convenience in calling the attention of our read
to some of the most peculiar observations and
statements therein contained.
Judge Redfeld has an undoubted right to
entertain just such sentiments on the subject of
Slavery as he may choose, and to alter, change
or modify those opinions Just as often as may
suit his inclinatons, convenience or necessities.
But holding, as he does, the uppermost seat in
the Judiciary of Vermont not on account of his
political opinions but in spite of them, it would
seem as if such a manifesto was not onl, un-
necessary and uncalled for, but a criticism on
the opinions of the people, in whose courts he
presides as unjust as it is invidious. We shall
not impugn the motives of the Judge in writing
this article, but we feel called upon to protest
against such an abject abasement to the slave
power by the foremost official of the free State
of Vermont. A proper respect for the well de-
fined public sentiment in this State on the sub
ject of Slavery should lead those who are
clothed with the insignia of judicial authority

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.

The way and manner in which candidate
for County Commissioner shall be selected has
from time to time, excited considerable remark
In this county we have no such organization as
may be found in most other counties. We be-
lieve there is an association known as "Tho
Wiadham County Temperance Society,"" but this
body has never, we think, held any meetings
for the ostensible purpose of nominating a can
didate for County Commissioner. 1t docs not
properly come within the province of the Com
mittees of either of the political parties to call
such a Convention, as the office is not and
should not be made in any sense political.
With knowledge Of these difficulties in the
way of any organized action, a number Of indi-
viduals, representing majority of the towns in
this County, after free and full interchange OF
opinion, at a consultation at Fayetteville on
Wednesday, have decided to recommend to the
voters of this County the Hon. INA GooDHUE OF
Westminster as an eminentlv suitable candidate
for the office of County Commissioner. Judge
Wheelock was first named in this connection
but it was definitely ascertained that he is about
to remove from the State. The character and
standing of Mr.. GooDHUE is such that nc
question as to his entire fitness for the Office
can be raised. a man of unbending integrit,
and undertaking principle his election and ac
ccptance would be guarantee that the dute,
of the office would be honestly and faithfully
administered.
The individuals who have thus suggested tn,
name Of Dea. GooDHuE ropudiate any desire tC
dictate to the people of this county whom the,
shall support for that office. They do not ever
assume the responsibility of making nomna
ton. But Mr. Daniels having pcremptoril,
declined again being candidate, and dcSirin.
to see a concentration of effort upon O suitabl,
person, have determined for themselves, il
the absence of any recognised authority for call
ing convention, 10 support the Hon. In!
GooDIUE; and they recommend such of thei
fellow citizens as coincide with them in opinion
and recognise the eminent fitness Of the gentle
man named, to do the same.

The FESTIVAL OF THE UNIvERsALIsr SOCIETY,", on
Thursday evening of last week, was largely attended
and unexpectedly successful. The new feature Of
prize conundrums seems to have added largely the
attractions, for the continual inquiry during the eve

scented and read, and Mr.. Anonymous took the prize
which was donated in advance by that ubiquitous
gentleman to the Society's Treasurer The net re-

cash. and general good time for every one present

FIRE IN MARI.BoRo.-About three o'clock Satur-
day morning, Feb lth, the store of Vim. w. Lyndo
in Marlboro, discovered to be on fire, and in
short time the building with the connecting shed, and
an adjoining shed belonging to Fosdick Prouty, were
destroyed together with the greater portion of large
stock of goods belonging to Mr. Lynde. The fire orig
mated in the basement story of the building which
story lower the rear than on the front side
but the occasion of it is yet mystery. There had
been no fire built in that part of the building for
long time. As there was a ball in the village that
night Mr. Lynde had occasion to go into the front part
Of his store but very short time before the flames
appeared, but there then no appearance OF fire.
The building was owned by Gen. Phinehas Mather,
T. NJ. Adams and Samuel Brown, and was valued at
500 to $1,000; insured in the Vermont Mutual for
S667 The stock Of goods in the store ut the the time
the fire was discovered was valued at abou, $4,000,
about $1,000 worth of which were saved. The goods
and produce in the store insured in the Vermont
Mutual for $4,000, and in the Park Insurance Compa-
ny, New York City, for $1,000. Mr. Lynde also lost
s6lS in money which was in the pocket of coat
hanging up in the store at the time OF the fire.
