of Illinois for notbeing able lodiscern bisbol
low heartedneaa before be was elected ? I
think that Eereis'a little clashibgof Idea* —
that ho will be a littlb puzzled to extricate;
himself from his ' 1 bold.;and utepartngjfS-.
marks.” I have briedy glancedatallhiset*
guments and willeay a-word in-conausion
that I may not be misunderstood.-' L never
claimed that the farmers of this bounty pos
sessed many classical scholars-:—that many
graduates of old Yale, follow the plough oyer
the hills of Tioga—but. Ido claim much
useful—practical—every : day information for
the farmers of (bis portion of “ WilroOl’s be
nighted District.” is it not a universally
received opinion that freedom and intelligence
and human wrong and ignorance go hand in
hand? If the maxim be true, what will
Farmer say when is‘'obliged to put Tioga
down as the banner corfmy in the Union,
for Fremont and Freedom? Yet- hear What
he says on this point. “ But that farming as
practiced by the farmers of *his county is an
elevated calling is not true!” Farmers of
Tioga, here is an opinion of you by one of
your number! What do you think of your
" calling" now 1 Had you not belter
out and peddle yaokee noiions for a living?
He claims, in fact, that farmer's are averse
to education, lhal they are opposed to ihe ad
vancement of Literature and Ihe like. I
claim that they pay as much into the general
school fund—that they contribute as much to
the support of our country and metropolitan
press—that they are as much in favor of the
advancement of our common country in all
things that ennoble and benefit mankind as
nnv other class of the human family. Here
is where we differ—he has a right to his
opinion—l to mine—and the public may
judge for itself.
He closes by a thrust at me, lhal perhaps
he considers as unanswerable, and asks “can
an inferior class ‘ look down’ upon a'supe
rior Certainly, for it cannot be otherwise.
A superior man never yet looked down upon
a human being hauteur and self conceit al
ways belong to the inferior—never to the su
perior. Was not Franklin the subject of the
wide jest of bis fellow press men ? Was not
Horace Greeley kicked from office to office,
when he first entered New York ? Has not
the epithet “ cobbler” been applied to Henry
Wilson? I submit the question ; are Frank
lin, Greeley and Henry Wilson of the infe
rior class, or vice versa,?
Being ignorant of the real name of
" Farmer” nothing personal can be intended,
and 1 have answered his article in accordance
witn mv own views. He says he spoke
plainly —1 have endeavored to do so—l am
in the best humour imaginable-*-! will con
cede the same to my will he
not, with me, agree w'nh the poet t

Lone Island Sound Frozen Over.— For
the first time, there is solid ice from ihe Con
necticut shore to Long Island, Persons cross
the Sound to Long Island on the ice, from
Port Chester, West. Chester county, N. Y,,
and also from Throgg’s neck, near Fort
Schuyler. The harbor at New Haven is
frozen as tight as Baffin’s Bay. An “ unusual
circumstance” is mentioned by the New
Haven Register. That paper, of Monday
evening, says that “ Capt. Merrow, of the
schooner Daniel Trowbridge, who has been
for a week frozen in near Southwest Ledge,
at the mouth of our harbor, reports that
nothing but ice can be seen from Au topmast)
with a spy glass! that from Faulkner’s Island
across, to LongJslpnd, and ft.om the former
to the Connecticut shore, up to Branford is
a solid field of ice. At ebb tide a large gap
opens at ihe mouib of our harbor, closing
ogaitv at flootftide. Thus Long Island and
Connecticut are, (or the first 1 time in the
memory of man, connected by solid ice."—

triumph of Libert; in her new. ordeal is aot won at
thq Long liland And White Flaihp oi her struggle—
With ho shadow, of regret that the responsibility, of
governing is not confided to her champions before
the People were fully ready to sustain them—we be
gin afresh/the. Work of diffusing Hist vital.trpfh
which, in regard to the concerns -of this world as
well as of the nest, makes Free indeed. . Now, in the
Slave Power's heyday of victory, when its ministers
and servitors are gathering and platting |o make the
most of their triumph and “crush out" the spirit
which they vainly believe to be crucified and entomb
ed—now, when the faint-hearted vr cold-hearted who
lately basked in the sunshine of onr premature hope
are hauling off to repair damages and talking os
abandoning the rugged arena of Politics for morf
(jaiet and flowery fields—now, in tfaiahourofwearie
ness and shadow, The Tribosi renews its vows of
eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the
bodies or souls ofmen—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, wheather in soul or
body, are to be regarded and treated as the con
venience or the prey oftheir wiser or stronger breth
ren—to the domination of despots and oligarchs,
whether of empires or plantations—to the enslavers
of cities and kingdoms in Europe or the breeders for
the auction-block and the cotton field in Virginia or
Alabama.
The doctrine that no tinman being was ever crea
ted ibr the benefit or advantage ofanother—that all
service between man and man shonld be Tree and
reciprocal—that the laborer should not toil and sweat
to pamper others' pride or minister toothers’ luxury,
but (or the sustenance and cpinfart of thosehear and
dear to him—is destined to certain triumph. 1
must prevail, for God reigns, and Earth was not crea
ted to be a theater ofinjuslioe, oppression and miser;
for ever. It must triumph; for all true prophecy
qffirma and the vindication of the Divine benignity
mpertatively, .requires it. It must tripmph; for
Democratic America .cannot , always remain tho
scoff of aristocrats and. the shame or reformqrqand
liberals throughout the Old World. It must triumph
tfor Man's, history is.pot archaos orariddle, but
every where instinct with meaning; and ho heroic
effort ever filled of its. effect—no drop of martyr
blood was over shed in vain.
. But even if we Republicans were disposed to fold
our armf in slumber, our adversaries would not per
mil it. .They' tire busy Uwlay in lengthening their
cords and strengthening their stakes with a vigilance
and activity which reveals a consciousness on their
part that their dominion mnst be made sore forth
with or their .scepter will have forever departed. —
To-day, myrmidomtof the Slave Power threaten
aodjiarass‘Northern Mexico, are encamped in the
heart of Central America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty
Republics, while it by tarns leers and scowls at
Cuba, while its most ruthless bands are precipitated
on devoted Kansas, under the protection and smiles
of the Federal Adminisretion. Even as we write,
the telegraph informs us that twenty Free-State
men, gailly of attempting to defend their homes
againstthe rapineand violence of Buford’s and Til a s’a
blood-thirsty bandits, have been convicted by Ee
compte'a Court of manslaughter! and sentenced ; to
five years’ imprisonment at hard labor as felons.—
-T*r ■ L, l r* , ‘Tr •' "i^"im» , nLof.what has long'ptssed
for “justice" in Kansas—a justice wmcntMes m<
criminals into pay and aids them in banting down,
plupdering and “ wiping ont” the innocent, whom
it consigns to the State prison if they are ever gadded
into the madness of resisting their oppressors- Such
crimes and wrongs ss unhappy Kansas has for
twelve mouths endured, even Hungary or Poland
has ever known; and the Power at whose tnsliga
lion these villainies were and are perpetrated .sita
enthroned in the White tlonse, and has jost achiev
ed another four years’ ascendancy in the Federal
Government. Who, in view oflbese (acts, can say
that Republicans may now pile tbelr arms, even for
an hour?
The Tkibiinb will be, a, il lias been, a Political
Journal —avowedly, though not exclsively so. Il re*
cognizes the truth that Freedom and Slavery are
here grappled in deadly conflict, and that la the re
sult one of tliem must lose all control over the Fed
eral GpVernment. Bui, while il gives prominence
and emphaiis fo the discussion and elucidation of
the great issue of tire day, it sinks none oftlie cbir
aerteistlc of a Business and Family Newspaper.*—
The proceedings ofCongress, like those in Kansas,
will be watched and reported by an able and fearless
corps ofCorrespohdents, while from London, Paris,
Constantinople, Havana; San Francisco, Albany and
other centers of interest, our special advices will be,
as they have been, fresh and reliable. A member
of our Editorial catys—Bayard Taylor—is now in
Northern Europe, and will spend the Winter in
Sweden, Lapland, Russia, thence making his Way
neat season across Siberia and Tartary to the mouth
of the Amour, and thence homeward by the Pacific
and California, unless some change of route shall
promise greater interest and profit to oar readers,
for whom alone he will write regularly throughout
his adventurous journey, which is likely to require
two years fbf its completion. Our reports of the
most interesting Lectures, Public Meetings, &.C.,
will be (Ull and reliable, and our Foreign' and Do.
mestie News made up with a careful regard to the
condensation into our ample colums of tlie greatest
amoqnt of intelligence that,is consistent with the
use bflype of generous size.' In short, ifwe fail to
make Tpe Tribune .worth its cost, itphallnotbcjbr
want of expenditure or efibrL
If it be deemed desirable by Republicans that
Trot Tribune should be circulated in their several
localities, we urge them to see that Clubs be itrade
up end forwarded in due scason. The Postmasters
are sCmi-officrallyadmoniihediiotto aid onreirculu
tion, but to urge instead that of journals deemed
•* strand,” and “ National” by the compatriots of
Atchison and Slringfellow. We ask live Republi
cans everywhere la care that these efforts be not
effectual .to qnepuh the light of Freedom iu the
murky roiats of Slavery.
