The Inhabitants convened pursuant 10 adj
journment, when the following preamble and
resolutions were reported by the business COM
mittec, & on a motion, accepted by the meeting ?.
The preamble and resolutions were then
separately presented TO the meeting; their mer-
lis aLl Importance discussed By several citl.

pressive Of tho views and sentiments Of the
meeting.
Whereas, it is the privilege of the citizens of a
Republican Government, 10 assemble to-
gether for the purpose Of expressing their
sentiments on all subjects in which they are
| interested-it becomes their duty SO 10 do,
when questions Of great moment are pro.
posed, especially when in the discussion OF
those questions the riahts and Liberties OF
American citizens are inyoved-and where
as, slavery, in the language Of distinguish

"PRg. EMprroN FLoATs." We notice cir
cular from the Commissioner of the Land Of
flee al Washington, now going tho round, Of
the Western papers, which indicates the con-
tinued existence Of that most atrocious temp
taion to perjury and fraud on tho National
Revenue, entitled the Presumption Float
Perhaps some of our readers may not recollect
what l. is, so W. will give an idea of it; Tho
laws Of the u. States first stipuIat0 that the
Public Lands shall be carefully surveyed be-
fore they are brought into market-that The
sale Of any township, range, country, or dis
trct, shall be opened by public auction, con-
tinued for some days, until every tract shaiI
have been offered, and all that VIII brinS more
Than the minimum price OF 20 an acre dis
posed of. After that, it is liable TO private en-
try at Sl,25 per acre. This is right, polite,
and does Justice TO all parties But next come
prescriptions, which cntitlc an individual TO
any tract on which no may have settled or
'sGuatted' without leave or license, at $ ,25 an
acre. although it may DO honestly and truly
worth in its original state hundred times that
sum. The law makes some restrictions to
this right Of pre- empton, but the squauers are
stronger than the law, ard defy it. Whoeyer
daros 10 bid at public sulc on a tract which a
squatter had pitched upon, does It at the haz'
ard of his life. (The law, VIC believe, recoSni-
yes no redemption till after the land has been
offered at auction, but the distinction has been
set aside by the code Lynch.) And now
comes the aggravated Atrocity Of Presumption
Floats. Prescriptions are founded on Just
principle, or rather profession; they look oos-
tensibly to the protection Of tho poor settler
from the cupidity OF the rich sPcoulalor 10 be
sure, one ought to have as good ri5h to buy
a tract OF public land as another and the fact
that one Of them has trespassed upon it constl-
tutes no proper claim to The fee simple at halt
price. But it takes Floats TO exhibit the beau
~ of the thing, as follows: Two men have
wandered away from the civilized world, aud
settled or somehow 'improved,' lands so near
each other that when surveys are made thciT
improvements are both included in one quarter
section. What can be done for the unfortu-
nates2 Why, one Of them takes the tract, and
the other has Float from the nearest land
office, authorizing him TO pitch upon any otE-
er tract unappropriated that he may choose to
fancy OF course The manufacture Of Floats
for the spectators has been about the best bu-
sincss going at the West for sOme years pa 81
particularly TO men who swear easy; and tho
the law on which they are founded hos no lon
ger an existence, the Float trade goes on as
mersily as ever !-Ntlr Yorker.

OUR COUN In
The bright star ofFreedom no longer was cleaning
Ger Rome, as was wont, in the days OF her pride
O2pressions dark food, through her vales was
streaming,
In darkness and sorrow fair Italy sighed;
And well might she mourn DER her sad dcsolation,
For all was now gone II her children once dear;
Though great was the fame, and renown Of the
nation,
No longer a Brutus and Cato appear.
'Tis thus 1t will prove with the land our glory
Whenever that spirit Of yalour shall fail,
Which once caused our foes to remember the story
That 'the slaves ola tyrant in conflict must quail :;
Which spread far DER Earth as with trumpet OF
Heaven,
A Nation was born the wide world 10 command
That the Empire of Nations TO Columbia was
given,
Whose soil is our treasure, our dear native land.
Even now, we're Oppressed by an Administration
Whose Measures haye vetoed the Peoples own
voice!
Full W ell we may view the sad doom Of our Nation
That the foes Of our freedom will DER rejoice;
The PRAYER should arise TO the knights Of lnven-
ton
Experiments cease! your new measures give
Ger!
Too long we have how'd 10 your kitchen convsn-
ton
JVhOse Means Of Oppression must scorgO US no
more.
Ali ye! who possess that brave spirit Of action
Which well doth appear in the sons Of the brave,
Whose hearts long have wept DER your countiy's
obstruction,
United, your banner, triumphantly wave.
Tho names Of our sies let their sons ever cherish,
And bind on our hearts, their remembrance of fame /;
May that soul be forgot in oblivion perish!

TO THE ABOLITIONISTS OF YER
Mn~Jrr


II is q curious, and to me somewhat unac-
countable fact, that while the pi,nping Satellites
who reyolve around Fan Buren, and daily lick
up the crumbs which fall from their royal mas
ter's tables, are constantly and increasingly
branding the abolitonists of the north, with
The most opprobtious and degrading epithets
contained in our language, and even tho great
.4rehetype himseVby his piilul and soul de-
grading compliance with the preposerous de-
mands OF the south, not only disgraces him
self and the state 10 which he belongs, but
the whole country that almost the entire corps
of Abolition Editors OF Newspapers should be
found the devoted followers OF their vilest ira
ducers, espousing their cause, and minging in
the same corrupt and filthy mass
II any thing were wanting TO prove the ut
ter destilution Of principle which has Of late
characterized some of lhese pretended philHn-
thropists, this is sufficient. How plainly do
they demonstrate TO the world their entire lack,
both .pl Independence and integrity, How pal
paby absurd II is, that the people should lon
ger place confidence in those who watch eve
ry opportunity TO botray them. Who pretend
TO advocate one get oil principles while they
practically support another, thus indirectly ac.
knowlcding the truth OF all the charges brought
against them.
4 hu "loIc you Nhlp nun the DeltcI nc
likes YOU" is Prcverb long since applied TO
the spaniel and with equal force and justice
may it be applied 10 many Of the (pretended)
abolition editors in New England and New
York. They are disgrace TO the profession,
and doubly so TO the great body Of the aboIi-
lionists, of whom they profess 10 be the organ.
Shall this thing be longersufI6rod Shall we,
can we, longer consent to be made the dupes
of pretended friends of freedom and enamel
patton, who are really trying to lead us hood
iotnked and cabietowed iato the very embraces
Of slavery? II we are all u set OF hypo-
critics and dough-iaces, unworthy The name oil
out and frankly own it. If not, if we are
what We profess to be, homestead constellation.

Resoired, That VIC arc in favor Of Equal
Rights and would gladly welcome the time
when the enjoyment Of political, civil, and reli-
cious liberty shall be coextensivo with the vast
family Of man.
Resided, That il is the duty Of tho press 10
advocate and contend for the doctrine OF equal
rights and oppose the association with our
government Of any Territory, whose constitu-
ton or institutions arc based upon any other
principle.
Resoired, That every consistent person that
is opposed 10 slavery in tho abstract, must
necessarily be opposed 10 annexing Texas to
this Government, and that it should BIO thu
study of the American People how best 10 rid
themselves Of the evils under which they ara
now laboring, Instead Of making additions
thereto.
ResolUed, That our Senators and Repre-
senlatives in Congress BIO requested TO oppose
to tbs utmost of their power, every attempt 10
annex Texas to the United States.
On motion Of Rev VIM. NJ Guilford,
ResOired, That copy OF The Preamble and
Resolutions, together with the proceedings OF
this meeting, signed by the Chairman and Sec
rotary, be forwarded by them 10 ca oh of the
political presses at Montpelier, for pubca-
ton, also TO each Of our Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes in Congress.

men, and sincere advocates Of rational civil
liberty, and moral right, let us al once shake
QG the corrupt and hypocrilical creatures who
have so long imposed upon us, establish an in
dependent press in our own state, or introduce
into more general circulation such as may de-
serve patronage already established in other
states. No true nboliiionst, no sound republic
can, no honest man, can longer yield support
10 those mongrel vehicles of ialsehood and de-
ception, which, whatever they nigh, once have
been, are now a disgrace 10 the state. The
leading and earliest abolition papers in Ver-
mont are lost beyond hope OF recovery. What
shall be done TO restore 10 the people the means
of correct information upon this great subject7
To this your attention is called, and trust not
in vain. If we are engaged in good cause,
let us use means 10 sustain it il not let us a-
bandon it at once, promptly acknowledge our
error and retrace our steps.

tanning go square inches aud over, TO pay

spectiyely, when carried 200 miles or out

graduated To the measure OF the service rem.

the modification OF the rates OF newspaper

the item Of newspaper postage was never
