Freed Dsnl sinyary-

Elghty-sx years has demonstrated the
tact IN this government, that slavery is an
element antagonistical in its nature, 10 either
democratic or republican government. It's
character Is despotism, and nothing else,
Its leading advocates and supporters, have
long been plotting means by which to bring
iisls sressorrsss on
earth. While millions of honest confding
people of the north, have satisfied them
selves with mesmeric dreams, about senti-
ments of the slavery question, its giant
leaders, with the vast resources Of the Fed.
eral Government at their control, have been
plotting ahead, and exulting over past sue
cess, and proposing schemes for its extern
sion, Its strength and perpetuity, on the
most comprehensive scale. But it struck
too soon, for its desFo,ic sway, over this
continent. Its all grasping averice for alb.
solhte rGle in this nation has worked its own
destruction--its edicts are powerIess-its
final abolition has began. After long
and desprate struggle between the opposing
elements of society, Freedom and ,Slauery.
the former has triumphed, and the nation
has ceased 10 be a slaveholding republic.
The abolition of slavery in the District
OF Columbia and prohibition forever into
national territory, is the national result of
the fast growing sentiments of final etnan-
cipation. Reduced as it now is, to a State
institution, the main artery of its support,
the power and patronage of the Federal
Government. cut off, it cannot long survive,
amid the loatling Of human society. and the
condemnation Of all civilized governments.
Strange as it may appear there are many,
even among those who have been trained
up under the benign influence of the free
schools, and other institutions of New Eng
land, who are yet deaf to the pleadines of
nature, and of humanity, for the emancipa.
ton Of the enslaved African race. They
are behind the spirit of the age--opposing
principle, that forms the basis of our gov
ernmert, and one that has taken deep root
IN the hearts Of the American people.

ACCIDENT on THE 4TH.-Two men
were badly burned in our village on the 18th
inst, while firing an old cannon, the charge
exploding while being rammed down. The
gun was located in the midst of the village,
and pointed down one of our most public

Der at the base of our town pump, and was
shivered TO pieces. Who is responsible for
such nusances in our streets? Wind. Oror.

Vermont is not long to be deprived of the
services of one Of its bravest and most eff.
fcient officers.--Montpelior EatcAman.

Zen. Brooks is generally rdmored to be
seriously wounded. His brigade of Yer.
monters behaved ike veterans in the sever.
al engagements between Gains Hill and
White Oak Swamp. The same indomita-
bic pluck that instigated the charge across
the dam at Warwick river marked their
course in the fight of Golding's Farm, Saw
