The Fourth was celebrated at Mortified by
the citizens oil that town and adjoining towns.
The company was large-the dinner altogeth-
er superior to any thing Of the kind we ever
sOw--tho sentiments and songs, and the music
by the Montpelier band very good. We have
word to say in behalf Of The Norikfsld House,
kcptby Mr. Goss; more splendid house may
be found in the citcs--but better house, so
far as noatness, order, convenience, and tables
are concerned, we never have found, in city oil

A correspondent writes that Anti Slavery
meetings were held at Irasburgh on the 22d &
23d ins'an's. On the god, a very powerful
and interesting speech was delivered by Mr.,
Bell, OF Walden-and on the 23d, Gen. Cush-
man, OF Guildhail, came out in a manly and
very eloquent speech. He declared himself a
thorough obolitonist-gong for the abolition
of slavery not only in the District of C olunbia,
and the territories, but throughout the whole
country. The meeting adjourned to Tuesday,
the 9th.

Rather bold" Want Of time and moncy,n

nothing new-we expected TO have to combat

would openly avow their purpose and let the

Were there any thing like wit, or even pleas

the character Of sheer misrepresentation, we

ed by an equally deliberate appeal TO the ode.
mocracy" to "malk" that money is to be used
for political pulpose-every one must see
that the only effects il can have, are to misload
tho ignorant, and abuse the innocent. The
truth is, that the correspondent who uttered
the words, thus seized upon end msrepresent-
ed 10y the Patriot, is an aged and venerable man,
as far above the editor of the Patriot in true pa
triOtism, as in years and experience man
whom British gold could not corrupt in olden
times, and who cannot be bought now, either
by the patronage, or the promises of office, from
the powers that be. His !anguogc-as the Pa
triot must have known-was used in reference
to the State Convention, and the sentiment was
nothing more nor less than that want of time
and money should not be an excuse for the poo
pie to stay at home; or, TO make more GEN.
eral application, that the people shonld not SUI
fer these inconvenience to prevent them from
doing every honorable thing in their power to
sustain the political cause to which they nav
be attached. 1t was good sentiment-one
which this very Patriot will preach before cleo
ton; and we shall be gratiied if it, & the Office
holders, do not preach and practice it, in the
WI sense il can be tortured into. One word

taiion and abuse only serve to awaken you to
more diligence in that cause which our oppo-
nents arc making the cause oftruth and dscen.

eighty millions of specie is short one. The
