AROLITIONISTS IN VERMONT.

The Montpelier (Vl) Journal of October 20,
furnishes the following statement:
"On Thursday evening last the Anti Slavery
Society met al the State House, for the purpose OF
hearing an address from the Rev. Mr. Nav of
Brooklyn, Conn. At that meeting some little dis
turbance was made by persons out OF the house,
(boys probability and some missiles were thrown
The society determined, with what proprictv we
will not say,--upon another meeting and another
address Oh the succeeding evening at the meeting
hose. Notices were put up TO that cfcct-bill,
were also put up urging the friends Of Colonization
neither to attend the meeting nor resort TO force,
and information given that at the same hour meet
ING OF the friends Of Colonization would be holden
at the State House. Friday evening came, the
Westinghouse, We are told, was filled, and the ex-
ercises commenced. At this luncturc Que of our
citizens addressed the assembly against proceeding
farther, and was followed by cheers from different
parts of the house The meeting cndcavorrd to
proceed, but amid misses and shouts and stamping
of feet, no speaker could be heard. The ladies
were requested to retire and preparations seemed
to have been made for an overwhelming resistance
TO the friends OF the meeting, when the attempt TO
proceed was abandoned and the assembly dis
pcrscd."
On the succeeding Saturday, in the Legislature
of that State, Mr. Sabn had introduced a resou-
ton, declaring it the inalicnablc right of all aSss-
Citations to discuss publicly any question affecting
the public interest, and granting the use of the
Legislative Hall, when unoccupicd BY the House,
to the use of any Society for public discussion :;
which, after some discussion, was laid upon the ,a-
bic.
There had been also contest at Montpelier be-
tween The Colonization md An,i-Slavery Socie-
ties, in which the latter is said TO have come off

Hsccms pretty certain, from the statements OF
the public journals in the cotton-growing region,
tina, the neat crop OF that impor,an, staple has been
CONSIDERABLE, diminished by the carl, iros,s of the

The Huntsville Advocate sa,s, "from all the

petition has been presented to the Lcgisla-
turc OF Vermont, praying that the delegation of
that State in Congress be instructed TO cndcavor
to obtain the immediate abolition Of Slavery in
the District of Columbia, which was read and re-
fcrrcd TO a comm,tce.--Wc have heretofore stated
the reasons why we believe that Congress has no
constitutional right to interfere with Slavery in the

From the annapolis Republican.
"'Thc idea that Congress has the pow or to abol-

ted upon the false assumption that this body con-
stitutes legitimate LEGISLATURE of the people of
that section Of our Republic. That is not the fact.
1t is contrary the whole spirit Of free institutions,
to admit for moment that any body of men can
be a legitimate legislature for people who have
had no voice whatever in nominating, electing or
controlling them. Congress possesses municipal
authority over the District. rather than legislative
authority-and exercises legislative powers 10
