TRUE NOBILITY,

Among the passengers who sailed yester-
day in tle packet ship England, were Lord
Altamont and his two brothers, all lads of
sixteen years and under-and Sons of the
Marquis of Sligo, the present Governor of
jamaica. These youths arrived in this city
about three months since, attended by their
private tutor for the purpose of travelling
among us few weeks, previous to their
return to Europe. They first made trip
to Washington, and returning thence to this
city, have since performed the grand tour
to Niagara, down the St. Lawrence to Mon
treal and Quebec, back through Lake
Champlain to Saratoga, thence to Lebanon
aud Boston, and back again to New York.
They are fine, intelligent lads, and have
travelled in the most unassumng and I'M
ostentatlons manner; and, as we learn, have
been every where delighted with the coun-
try.
Connected with the visit of these noble
lads is an anecdote at once amusing and
instructive. We give it as lesson, not
only to foreigners comming among us, but
to many of our own countrymen, who are
too apt to assume an attitude of ridiculous
pretension abroad. When the young lords
for they are all so by courtesy, their faith
er being n marquis--arrived in this city,
with letters to an English gentleman long "a
resident of New York, they sought advice
as to the direction they should take, their
mode of travelling, &c. all which was given
in due form. "And now, my Lord Alta
mont" added the gentleman, "there is no
necessity of your being called 'my lord,'
every where on your journeys. You can
get along just as well without it--just as if
YOU call yourselves by your own family
/ Of Mr Rrntv,, If 1p
anv thing extraordinary, you will every
where be treated kindly, and have all ycu
want. Only pay attention to two or three
things, and you will get through the coun-
try remarkably well.
swell, sir, what are these two or three
things" inquired their lordships.
"Why, my lord" replied the gentleman,
Sin the first place, in the general rush which
you will see to the public ordinaries, do not
strive for the head Of the tables, but quietly
take the seats nearest the door ;-whcnever
you address the landlord of a country tav-
ern, address him as "GenerdL." Every
elderly gentleman with whom you hold
conversation, should be addressed as
"Judge" or "Squire;" and be very careful.
in addressing every coachman as "COlon6ln'
I Attend to these things, my lord, and you
may depend upon it you will get along
smoothly enough"
The hint was adopted, Mt least in part
The young noblemen usually travelled I'M
der the plain cognomen of the Messrs.
Browns, and have by their own unassuming
department been every where treated with
the utmost attention, and have returned de-
lighted with visit which they say shall not
be the last, to the United States.-.N. Y.

est 2. Is he capable? 3. Will he regard
the rights of the People, given by our Gre
ator, set forth in our Declaration of indie
pcndence and guaranteed by our Country's
Constitution, without fear or regard to any
sect or party?
RESOLVED, That as republican govern
ment is government of the people, and as
the legislative powers are necessarily dele
gated to individuals, we have right to
know the views of persons to be entrusted
with these high powers on matters that are
known to be subjects of immediate legisla-
ton.
Resolved, That frank and open express
sion of views upon known or anticipated
subjects of legislation, is not, in our opin'
ion, committal that would bind us to
carry out measures that would result in an
injury to the commonwealth.
Resolved, That we cordially approve OF
the nomination of VIM. II. HARRISON
of Ohio for President, and FRANCIS
GRANGER of New York for Vice Presi-
dent, also of the State Ticket headed by
the name of SILAS II. JENISON for
Governor, and that we pledge ourselves to
make every fair and honorable effort to
ensure their success.
ReSolUed, That tho late casting vote of
Martin Van Buren,, given in the Senate OF
the United States in favor of the incendi-
airy publication BILL" so called, which in
effect denies the use of the Public Mails to
all pamphlets touching the subject of sa-
very, is one among a thousand other proofs
of his readiness to sacrifice our Liberties,
our Rights and everything we hold most
sacred at the shrine of an unholy ambition,
and calls for the unqualified Misrepresentation
of every man, in whose bosom Il spark of
Liberty yet CLOVIS.
RESOLVED, That the proceedings of this
convention be signed by the Chairman and
Secretary, and that the Editors of the
Franklin Journal and State Journal be re-
quested to give them publicity.
Adjourned without day.

CABOT ANTI-SLAVERY NEE

CABOT ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.
According to appointment the Anti
Slrvery Society of Cabot convened at the
White Meeting House, July 1lth and lis
tened to an interesting address from Rev.
Mr. Millegan of Ryegate, after which seve-
raj persons came forward and enrolled their
names as members.
The President then took the chair and
the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That free discussion is not only
a right guaranteed to us by the constitution
of the United States, but a boon committed
to US by God, which ought to be preserved
entire and transmitted to future generations
untarnishcd.
Resolved, That though we do not court
mobs, yet under God, they have done very
much to advance the cause of abolition.
Resolved, That it is not to be expected
that this branch of reform can be completed
in day, but we will patiently perseyere
and hope to the end.
Resolved, That the language of the
South, and its echo in the North, is evil
dence that none can be free, until all are
free.
Resolved, That when the yeomanry of
our country are thoroughly enlightened,
they will speedily take the side of Eman-
cpation.
Resolved, That in God alone is our hope
for success in this patriotic, philonthropic
and Christian enterprise.
Resolved, That the thanks of this Society
be rendered to the Rev. Mr. Miligan, for
his very able, appropriate and interesting
address.
Voted. That the proceedings of this
meeting be forwarded to the Editor of the
State Journal for publication.

For the State Journal.

The Editor Of the North Star, in noticing
my late communication in the Journal,
among other civil things gravcly asks why
did not send my communication to the
Star instead OF the journal. If the reasons
therein given are not sufficient to satisfy
him, will say in addition that have long
abhorred the practice of disposing of troub-
lesome questions and slcncing investigation
by substituting few standing phrases and
.opprohrious epithets in place of reason and
argument. The practice appears to lie
more and more contemplate, as almost
daily hear the subjects of Slavery and Tenn
perance disposed of in the same summary
way.
Now, take it for granted that MIR Eaton
cannot be ignorant Of the fact that large
portion of his readers and patrons feel eX-
trcmely mortified at his late course not
so much on account of the interest they
feel in the success of any particular candi-
date for the Presidency, as the vital stab
given to the Fundamental principles they
have honestly and conscientlously supper
ted. And no man knows better than Mr.
Eaton, that, of all the expedents that have
been resorted to to break lis down, no one
has been relied on Ivy our opponents with
so much hope of success, ms that of creating
division and distraction in our ranks. Hence
the unwearicd pains to divert our attention
from the paramount object of our organlza-
ton, by endeayoring to persuade us that
our leading men were unprincipled, dis
honest cemagogues; and | suppose also
that Mr. Eaton must have understood that
the object of my first inquiries in his paper
wac TO vindcate the antmasonic yeomanry,
my brother plough -joggers, from the foul
ISLANDERS so unsparngly hceped upon us ;
and moreover, that my views on the sub
Iect were by no means insulated or solitary.
But here we are met at the Threshold by
the formidable argument that state of
things had, somehow or other, been brought
about, so that we were under the necessity
Of departing from our first principles, or in
other words of giving up our organization.
Now | propose to take a little review OF
some of the causes which have produced
This state of things. And in the first place,
suppose that the tone of certain newspa-
pers in Vermont tended, more than any and
every other cause, to defeat the election OF
Gov. Palmer last fall, by inducing belief
that the Governor was endeavoring TO court
favor with the Jackson party. Secondly,
the chain Of argument in two Of our leading
presses, mostly copied from Hallctt, en-
deavorng to persuade the antimasons that
they We're divided in opinion, and it was
in vain TO think of longer maintaining our
ground on distinctive principles--hat it
was the safest way to "go into a certain
majority" where we might find quarter, and
intimalng that not only the bulk OF
the Plebans, but many of our leaders
would be pardoned, especially those who
