No ISpcTMENTs.-We think it is highly probable
that no indictments for fraud and swinding, growing
out Of the revulson in commerce and the explosions
in Wall street. will be presented by the present grand
jury. We will give our reasons-cheap without
change.
Mr. Charles King is the foreman Of this body. As
editor of the "Amcricon" in 1896, Mr.. Charles was
the principal instigaor through the columns Of his
Journal of the famous indictments Of that period. He
urgcd-day after dny-upon the then public prosecu-
tor with degree Of ferocious elsquence that looked
like virtue under fifty horse power-he urged upon
Mr.. Hugh Maxwell, TO bring on these indictments
The object was to prostrate the character of Henry
Eckford who had crossed the track of several Of the
Wall street spectators in those days. Mr. King and
his clique then succeeded in bringing out curious de-
velopement ST those transactions which aided the
revolution OF 1926.
We do not think howeve- from the usual principles
of human action that foreman of the grand jury
he will now ACT with the same boldaess in the cause
of public virtue and public morals as he did then
But il the morals Of Wall street required cleansing
and publication in 1926 believe il wants the be-
som of destruction now. But from some cause or
other there will be no developement-no exposure
no retrbutlon.
Such has been the universal corruption o. the modes
of transacting business in Wall street. ha, the whole
community seems affected. Hardly any man can say
mum to his neghbor. Look at the trial of Rathbun in
Batavia The evidence Of crime is ample, broad, un.
doubted, yet no jury will dare to convict him..
We live in a remarkable age Honor integrity and
sngleness Of purpose the only crimes now on rec
ord-now deserving of the States Prison. When
was modest, simple direct and unpreending, people
despsed me and called me fool Now that I have
become, by oompuslon bold, daring, fearless, and
supposed to be rogue getting rich, am rising into
rapid estimation, and will soon be equal with the first
men of the land.

Calhoun appeared and took his seat.
Mr. Wall presented the petition of ~ men
and ID women from Burlington county, N
j., against the annexation of Texas.
Mr. w, moved that the petition be laid on
the table..
Mr. Preston wished the motion Withdrawn.
Il was not the first time this one sided ques.
ton had been brought up here, and 10 pre-
vent all further uneasiness on the minds oil
The petitioners, he would now give notice
that at an early day he should move an in
qulry into the expediency of the admission
OF Texas inIctbe Union. Tha, he regretted
exceedingly. but he felt that the Senate had
been driven into this course by the impor.
tunity OF petitioners on ihe'subject.
MIR. Wall explained. that whatever might
be his personal feelings on the subject, he
ielt il duty to his constituents TO present
The petition. and thought the least he could
DO IN performance OF that duty. was to urge
the acceptance Of The petition by the Senate

Mr. Clay said, il was very manifest tba,
the feeling on the subject of abolition in the
District Of Columbia. is extending in the
public mind, and daily exciting more and
more attention. His own opinion, he de-
clared, was well known and unc hanged
that Congress ought not to grant the prayer
OF these petitioners
lie wished now to inquire of Mr. Wall.
and other Senators from the States whence
these petitions come, whether il is, or is moi
on the increase and whether the feeling
was confined to abolition in The District Of
Columbia2 or whether the feeling did not
extend to other objects2 Have not many
been drawn into il by the idea that the right
Of petition has been assailed2 And that
they ought to assert at all hazards, this great
constitutional right?
Mr. Wall replied. that the feeling in his
state was strongly excited by the ides that
the right Of petition had been assailed by the
course adopted in the last session, with re.

our readers 10 the letter of Gen. Brown on
the subject to the editors of the N. Y Ex-

leaders OF the malcontenls on suspicion,-
which course aroused the people and the
war commenced, with no plan or concert on
the part Of the Patriots-aIias Rebels.

DEAR SIR.--I intended to have written
you before this, to have given you more
just account Of our troubles than found in
the Brattleboro papers; but have omitted
till now, hoping | might give you some
thing decisive, but cannot now do it, The
report has just reached this place that bat
tie has just been fought at the Grand Brule,
40 miles above Montreal, the strong hold of
the Rebels, in which they were defeated
with great loss (if the report be true), and
there is great reason TO think it is as the
Rebels were defeated and scattered, with
great loss, at s. Eustache miles on this side,
on Thursday last II this news is true. |
think the rebellion is about closed as far as
fighting is concerned, and we hope to be
more tranquil. even out in our wooden
country We have had several turnouts.
hearing the rebels were coming to plumber
our part OF the country. but they have all
passed without bloodshed in this quarter
Our people are now better armed than at the
commencement (having'received from Gov
eminent 400 stand) so that if the French
choose TO visit us, am sure they will meet
a Yankee welcome. The people of the
townships are almost to a man for Govern.
Whatever difference Of opinion |
may have existed as TO reform. there is none
as 10 the folly Of recolution. A Rebellion |
50 foolishly begun perhaps never existed
There was appropriation nor concert between |
he leaders as il would seem by their being
every where driven and their leaders flying. |
L seems the good people of Vermont have
heir sympathies much wrought up for the
Patriots and are willing to assist them 10
arms, &c, to plumber their American friends. |
However, We hope if they attack us in the
Townships TO give ioleraby fair account
Of them. You will have learned probably be.

ley woods and sent on to Montreal; report
