Northern and Southern Rights.
WINDSOR County, Jan. ..

.'m# e. WINDSOR COUNTY, Jan. =. :
Since the very extraordinary conduct
of John Brown at IIarper's Ferry, Mr..
TIMES, l have been very much in doubt as
to the duty of the local and state authori
ties in the Free States, concerning South
ern travellers who happen to be in the
North on business or pleasure and happen
TO have independence of character enough
to speak their minds on any Northern SUBJ
ject which differs with our Northern hasti-
buttons, or supposed Northern rights.
The South complain very bitterly, that
their constitutional rights were invaded by
John Brown and his associates. We will
grant what they claim, provided they claim,
simply that Brown had no, right to NEEDLE
rialently. with them and their property at
Harper's Ferry bur II thoy- claim fhas
Northern citizens have no right to speak,
write, and discuss every political subject
which may or may not concern the public
good, then we are at issue with them !;
for we hold that the entire people Of the
North are created free, and that the God of
heaven has endowed them with equal
rights and privileges with their peers at
the South.
Southern men come North, and deliver
lectures, wherein they discuss, freely, and
without let or hindrance, their own views
upon every subject, not forgetting to urge
the claims which they deem Slavery has up
on all Northern men. This Is Hrigh but
are we not their equals? or have We be-
come suddenly +" scribe" and consequently
subject to obey our Southern masters?
IF we are equal with the southern PEG
pie, then ought we not to claim for the
traveller and lecturer from the North, the
same rights that they claim and receive at
our hands
If we have right TO claim from the
South the same privileges which they de-
mand, most imperiously, of US, then they
have no right to deny to all citizens of the
North, the privilege of, ad libitum, to be
and to discuss, at the South and every
where, what seems to them to be for the
welfare of the natioo, generally.
If we, of the North, have no right to
claim of the South, what they claim and
receive at the hands of the North, because
this is free nation and free people, then
the North most certainly, has light to de-
ny 70 the South what the South is daily do
priying the people of the North of free dis
custom and free transit through the land.
Ii the South has the rightto deprive the
North of free discussion and free transit
through the land, then most certainly has
the North Tie same right TO arrest any
Southern gentleman or lady, who may hap
pen TO be on northern tour. either for
pleasure, business, or the very laudable one
OF coming North to learn what he cannon
as well learn at the South, provided he is
found With any hooks, papers, or documents
which may not agree with our Northern
sentiments, or expresses himself in any way
against the peculiar institution of the
North,-FREEDoN OF SPEECH. Rex.

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS, 1860.
Work for 1850.

The Republicans Of Vermont, doubtless
desire the election Of Republican presi-
dent this year. Now il is mistaken mo-
ton Tat because they have an overwheim-
ing majority, there is nothing TO do but TO
wait the election, get out half the voters on
their side and carry The State by the us
ual majority of more than two to one. We
say this is a very mistaken idea. There is
as good an opportunity afforded in this
State for active and profitable labor to ad-
vance the Republican cause, as in any
STATE Of the Union. II is true The work is
not needed among ourselves very WELL
let US do the w.rk and have the avails Of
it used for the benefit Of our friends III 9th
er States, where It is needed.
1t must be very apparent to all, we think,
that Pennsylvania and New Jersey are to
be the great battle-felds in the contest now
dawning upon us. 1t viii be necessary to
have those States canyassed by our best
and most able advocates and also that
they be literally furnished with documents
giving light and truth on the questions Of
the day. Now so far as money goes, orr
opponents have decided advantage. We
have got the principles, they, the money.
The government being in their hands, a
small levy on the postmasters alone, is suf-
ficient to raise an enormous sum with which
to carry on the campaign. Our friends in
the doubtful States are fardly able, alone,
to cope with the immense power of the feder-
al government brought TO bear upon them
and it is no more than right that they should
receive assistance from their friends in the
States where they are strong.
We say, therefore, let the Republicans
of Vermont arouse and form Republican
clubs in every town and village in the State,
the main object being to raise funds to as
sist their brethren in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, where the hottest of the bat
tie is to take place. They can hold their
meetings at stated periods, discuss the poll
tics Of the day, and thus gather information;
and We think it would be well to invite
what few democrats we have, TO participate
in these meetings if they so choose.
4 These clubs should be formed NOW
THIS WINTER. Our work should be done
early. There should also be some proper
place in the State TO receive the contribu-
tons and see that they are property expend-
ed. Let this work be done in the Republ.
can strong-holds and our victory in the ma
tion will he sure
Suppose one half of the Republicans of
Vermont should contribute % cents each
This would raise at least S5000,--a sum
not very large, to be sure; and yet large
enough 10 do much good if ijudiciously ex-
pended. This would be practical work -
work that is needed work that would be
creditable, and far better than 10 remain idle
on our arms. a -
We close, therefore, with an earnest APP
peal to the Republicans of Vermont to or
ganize clubs in every town and village in
the State, THIS wISTER--and thus further
a cause which we all have at heart, and
whichw all regard as for the best inter.
ests of the whole country. E gaY)a'Ha

If city or town in New England, or any

thousands in Ireland were perishing with
hunger, ship-loads of provisions were sent
to them from the United States, and but
pitiful moiety Of the whole came from the
