have thus Sc, tire TO the match which the Indians have
been some time preparng and the sequel can only show
the horrors it may effect. There is doubt but that
they will have general engagement to-day; and should

abutonsts in relation to that question. One of tho
eniSSarirS OF that gracecss Gaudtt had been
''lrcturing in that town, and the meeting was called in
consequence The venerable General Samu i Cowles

in this nation, acted chairman of the committee ap
pointed prepare resolutions for the mecting and the
resolutions do equal honor to the veneratcd patriot who
drew them up, aud 10 the body Of good citizens who
adopted them.
They rcprobate the niquous and reasonable pro-
ceedngs OF the fppansts in the strongest language and
deprcalc interference with slavery ont of the slave
holding States, calculated to make worse the cona
ton of The slaves themselves and in direct violation Of
the Constitution Of the United States course
sariy tending murder and Instruction and tn dsso
luton Of the Union. The argument embodied III the fol-
lowing resolution, is perfectly conclusive, not only in
Connecticut, but every other New England State, and
may well be borne IN mind We have but one word
to add to IT, When the census was taken IN JSN there
still Is slaves remaining in C"nnectcni, and
tlhat number are slaves NOW. Why don't Arthur

It is worthy of remark how completely the Abolition
excitement has died away in this part of the country.
notwithstanding the Efforts which are made by certain
in Congress to keep alive. Neither the word
