For the Waterman and State Journal

MEssRs. WALToNs. 1t has been stated
that new arrangements were about being
made in relation to the large publick hous-
es in Montpelier. Allow me to say, in your
paper, that should one Of these houses be-
come Temperance house, furnishing no
Intoxicating liquors and kept in proper
manner, it will be blessing of incalculable
value to the community, and will accommo-
date large and respectable portion Of the
multitudes who visit Montpelier on vdriods
occasions, who are unwilling any longer to
patronze rum-selipg establishments. Tenn
perance Taverns it is true have not reeeiv-
ed the patronage to which they are eni-
tied, but the real friends OF temperance re-
form are waking up to the subject. They
see the importance Of bearing testimony a.
gainst traffic that is filling our prisons
with convicts, our poor houses with paup-
ers, and the world Of perdtion with lost
souls, with no conceivable benefit to any
one. They see too much misery among
their ncighburs arising from the use of in
toxicaing liquor, TO view the rumselng
stores and taverns in any other light than
rs abominable nusances. They will, I am
confident, sustain first rate pub!ick house
in Montpelier, kept on strict temperance
principles Let such house be opened
there and furnish genteel accommodations
Jet the house be such an one as they can
recommend TO their friends in all parts Of
the Union who may visit the Green Noun
tain state and call at its metropolis, and
they will rally in its support from one end
Of the state to the other.
But if such a house cannot be opened,
Messrs. Editors, do beg that at least tav-
ern OF some sort may be kept on temperance
principles, where men that are determined
not to pay another cent al 6runkery, can
get their horses fed, and crust of bread
for themselves, even if obliged to sleep on
the floor: for it is better to submit to such
fare than to help sustain the sellers Of pois-
on in their neiarious Misunderstanding.

Our readers will be surprised 10 learn
TINT this proposition TO impose restrictions
and prohibitions on the liberty of speech g.
the press, aud on the right Of association.
was so far entertained by the legislature of
Virginia that the resolutions containing it
were ordered TO he printed. Can il be that
such restrictions ol the liberty OF American
citizens are seriously contemplated in the
"Od Dominion :" We are loo often re-
minded ollate that the tomb, in thai once
proud state, has closed on her Washinglons
and Henrys, her Jeflersons, Madisons end
Mlrshalls. There are sad indications that
the intelligent traveller may soon apply W
Virginia The exclamation Of the abbc de Ia
Mennas respecting llalv, Virginia Viz
ginia thy ancient dead rise Behold them
on the sides Of thy mountains, with sad
brow, and eyes covered with The dust OF the
| sepuchre, fastening their proud look on that
land once so glorious, and as if'lhey did not
recognize il, shaking their head with hor-
rihle smile, and lying down again in thc
tomb. ~ y. Observer.
/ We do not suppose that the above bold
perhaps we should say, iniamous-proposi-
tons, will find favorable response, even in
the slave holding states, unless it be from We
ry few Of the fmaiical,' who hate abolitonisis
infinitely more lhan they love liberty If, how
ever, these are the views of the South, let the
amendments be proposed to The states-anj
the soonerit It's done the better. Let the question
DO tried, whether the Constitution is TO secure
to us free republic, or subject us TO rspuJ-
lican tyranny. We should not be sorry to see
The cringing and toaJ-eaiing ". b. legisla-
lures Of some of our neig hboring states brought
10 the tcst, and forced to avow their opinions /.
let us know whether they will be as ready To
bow 10 Southern dictation aJ1er, as they were
before, the Presidential election. When the
question on these propositions shall be put, we
can assure the South that from at least one
state in the Union, they will receive an indig-
nant and unanimous negative: Vermont new.
er will desert the principles of the revolution !;
not even party policy nor the diciation Of par
ty leaders, high and low, can divide her voice
on this subject.

There are rumors that Great Britain intends
to take Panama New Grenado) by force, and
keep it, too, ms France has taken and kept Al
giers-and for reason similar to that which
excused or justified France. The government
of New Grenada-or rather the civil authori-
ties Of PanumO-imprisoned the British Con-
sui while in prison his house was robbed, and
he could obtain no restitution. Gen. Santan-
der has issued orders for troops TO be ready 10
resist the British.

MILITARY COURT OF ENoUIRY.-The Ia
bors of the court are drawing to a close
General Gaines will deliver his defence this
day O6th) it is said. The last witness, Gen
Persiier Smith, of Louisiana, gave import
ant testimony in favor Of Gen. Gaines. He
highly approved the conduct of Gaines, in
not allowing himself to be entrapped by the
Indians, in pursuing them or making sor-
tie. He believed that Gen. Scott made ev-
cry effort to get into operation earler-that
Gen. Gaines did not interfere with these op-
erations-on the contrary, he kept the In
dams embodied and in check on the With
lacooche, which allowed Gen. Scott time
TO organize his plans, and that the presence
of Gen. Gaines with his command contrib
uted much TO the advantage of Gen. Scott.
Thus lu 10 the ground all the charges
against the gallant and patriotic veterau.-
Mucl temper and feeling have been exmb-
tied on both sides; but the people are not
disposed to sacrifice men who have render
ed great public services, to cover the defal-
cations and,wan Of energy in the admins
tration-]N. Y. Star.

military Court Of Enquiry. 1t is necessary,
perhaps, for MS to state, in order that our rea-
dcrs may understand the articles VIC OCCASION
ally copy relative TO the court martial at Fred
crick, that the court was ordered by the Presi-
dent for the trial Of Gen. Scott, Gen. Gaines,
and Maj. Gates. Gen. Scotthas been already
tried and acquitted by the court, and report
made 10 the Presidcnt-who has, however, re-
fused under the circumstances TO give his opin-
to report more specifically the facts found on
the trial.

Man killing, &c. &c. The papers are de-
tcrmined 10 kill old Pons'-Ex- Senator Poin-
dexter. A st. Louis paper declares he is dead
but the Natchez Courier as plainly says he
is alive. An attempt is making down east
10 politically old JOHN Holmes Of hui
morous memory. The Boston Atlas init.
mates that he has come out for Van Burcn
and means TO get into The Z. s. Senate again.
We doubt the Whole story yet we should not
be sorry TO see John in he Senate, even tho
he were a Van Buren, man, inasmuch as he
would merely fill the place Of some other par.
ty man Of not half his pith and humor. As a
V. Il. man, Mr.. Holmes could do little harm
his somerset, provided he has made one, }
is too recent; and ms a Senator we doubt not
he would afford abundance of amusement to en-
liven that body, which is really getting rather
low spirited. By the way, we thank friend
in Maine who recently sent us a report TO the
Maine Legislature, on the North East boun-
dry question. Mr.. Holmes is the author Of
the report, and he clearly demonstrates the III
ter futity of the pretensions of the British
Court
