MONTPELIER ANTI-SLAYERY SOCI-
ETY.

A meeting Of this Society was held, pvrsU-
ant 10 notice, on the 18th instant at the Free
Church. A respectable number of the friends
of the cause from the neighboring towns, were
in attendance.
Prayer was offered by The Rev. Samuol
Kelley.
Addresses were made by Mr. Codding and
Mr. Becklcy, agents Of the American Anti
Slavery Society, sCol. J. p. Miller and C.. l..
Knapp, and the following resolutions were a
dopted:
/. Resolved, That slavery under erery pos
sibte circumstance, ia fragrant sin hence,
the duty Of immediate emancipation is al once
the dictate Of common sense and sound philos-
ophy.
3. Resoipsd, That those men who profess a
pous hatred to slavery, whilo al the same time
they apologize for its continuance, do more to
perpetuae the horrid system than any other
class Of persons.
3. Resolred, That in many respects this is
the crisis year with our cause, and that every
abolitoGst should be Oh the alert-prepared
to offer on the altar oil Freedom, bis influence
his prayers, his money, and if the cause de-
mands it, himself.
A. Resolusd, That we feel called upon TO
repeat the sentiment often expressed ty alb
olitionisis, that the scheme OF colonization
hae no cummunion whatever with the heaven
porn enterprise Vi duOltlCU.
5. Rtsslued, That even GLOWING what sone
of our oppoEeots contend, that the measures OF
abolitionists are Inadequate to the overthrow OF
slavery in our land, it would stl be the ina
peraiive duty Of every citizen OF the free
states to proclaim our principles with nnnea-
! ted earaestness and zeal, se the oHly means OF
preventing further and fatal encrosehmeRts
upon Northern Freedom.
6. Rssolvsd, That the almost certain pros
pect Of attempt by Southern Representa-
lives in Congress to procure the annexation OF
the revolted province o. Texas 10 the United
Statee, at the next session in September, should
| Instantly awaken a lively interest against n
! measure 30 obviously al war with our national
| interest and honor, and the cause Of freedom
7. Resolred. That we earnestly invoke the
people oflh State, in every town, whether
| abolitionists or not, 10 see 10 it, that
memorials are seasonably circulated for sigma
lures and forwarded 10 Congress by the first
| Monday Of September next, earnestly remon-
| strating against the annexation of Texas 10
| the United States, upon any terms whatever.
Voted, That the proceedings OK this meeting
| be offered for publication in the several news
papers printed in this town.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. Andrew
Royce, Of Williamstown, and tbs Society, on
| motion, adjourned TO meet again al the Free

The Senate. It's understood that the eight
fathers Of the new-light democracy despair of
cheating the people sufficiently to give q I'm
a majority OF the House; they hope only for
the Senate, and they will make strong eff ort
for that branch of the government. Shall we
not meet ihem-nnd detsai thcm7 We APP
peal to the freetnen of Washington county let
the Convention on Thursday next be well at
tended, strong ticket nominated and unitedly
supported. In November last, we were beat
en- by Jew rotes only. 10 Orange county we
also appeal Gen. Flint is using his utmost
exertions there, and relying upon him 10 carry
the county as he pIeases, the V, 3. men count
upon the Orange Senators. Let tho .finis Of
patriotism and principle meet the Jiints of flesh
at every point, and there cannot be doubt OF
the issue. Essen county was but barely carri-
ed last year against US and with united aud
vigorous action, we can expcc a victory there ;
and in Catalonia also. Let tins matter be at
tended 10 seasonaJiy and faithfully, and the
Senate Of 'S7 will stand stronger with the peo-
pie than the Senate of SO.

The nep "secrei society,"" We dislike cx-
ceedagly to publish what we do not absolutely
know, even though good evidence leads 10
conviction that VIC are right. In the pre- sent
case however, we ale left necessarily to mag
inc the thoughts, reflections aud speeches Of the
eight, inasmuch as no mortal eyes and cars
or at least none of ours-were permitted TO see
and hear the transactions Of the oonclave. 1t
ia imagined, then, that one OF the eight might
have had his eye upon the fact that the people
wouldn't elect him to Congr sss last fall, when
he pretended to run under the antmasonic
Harrison flag. Perhaps, his right hand man
was not forgeful of a little Judgcship, which
eluded his grasp about the Same period. In
all human probability, third might have re-
pcated somewhat humiliating aud very aflec.
ting tale, OF his career through National repub.
icanism and Antmasonry to Van Burenism,
and his final loss Of a Clerkship, sweetIy spic
ed with an episode IpoeIical, of course,l de-
scrptive Of a mighty effort, made by the V. B.
party moi long since, to on 1t him from the list
of Justices of the Peace. For aught we know,
fourth might have said that his Worshipfu |
brother had oppressed his mind 'zacly," eav-
ing out antmasonry entirely, and substituting
for the song bill in chancery to recover his
lost Clo1kship. The next probably enlivened
the table with sundry speeches upon the beau
tier of democracy or the pleasure Of lolllng on
mahogany chairs in the Senate, and suggesting
a plan for a small monopoly in the lino of po-
tato starch. The fifth must have pronounced
an indignant Jeremia-d, particularly comment
oralive Of the wanton disrespcct shown to New
Hampshire democracy in the late remot al Of
certain Register OF Probate. The remaining
three were, probably, very good hearers and
witnesses Of the excellent sayings and dongs
Of their superiors and if they were not highly
edited by the views OF federalists, democrats,
National Republicans, Jackson men, masons
and antmasons-for the history of the five en-
braces all these party distinctions within its
links-it could not be for any want either Of a.
bundance or variety of materials. Perhaps ma
ny other interesisg things might DC i'm a guod /;
but since friend Gibson has let the cat out Of
the bag" by revealing the actual result Of this
FIRST nights labor Of the new lodge, further par
ticulars may be dispensed with.

G5-CAUTION.-A man apparently quite
lame, and calling himself John Camel, is lrav-
cling about in this state. soliciting money. He
is a native of Scotland, and according 10 his
own story, has become cripple since he came
TO this country, in consequence Of taking mer-
curry. He is endeavoring 10 obtain money, as
he states, to enable him TO return TO his friends
in Scotland. Some weeks ago he called at
my hous e, and though am inclined to regard
strangers who ask for money, with suspicion,
| was so wrought upon by his appearance and
story, that gave HIM quarter Of u dollar.
Several OF my neighbois did likewise Since
that time, have asceriained that he is an IN
temperate man. Persons with whom have
conversed have known him TO be intoxicated
lately in Duxbury. Whether his story be true
or false, he is evidently making a bad use Of
his money, aud all should be cautioned against
him.
Qaery-Is it right in any case whatever, TO
give money 10 travelling beggars7 Does no,

courage irauducnt begging? Whenever |
have given money 10 such PERSONS, have af-
forwards been led TO believe that was impos-

Consistency. The immortal eight Vanites
pretend 10 overmuch hostility to "all secret So
cieties." When and where was there soci-
city more secret in IFS deliberations and move
menls than this same little knot Of eight D.
How would the wire-workers in this perform
ance ever have been known, had not John
Gibson, after the old fashioned animasonic
style, rerealed the secret2
P. S. Perhaps we ought to say that one of
the eight is somewhat consistent particularly
in his notions about the currency and hard
times he was Shay's man in 1886.

Rights, and they responded TO the call
with the exception of the Masonic Aristo-
cratic portion Of the Wings, who turned
themselves into the Jackson party, where
most OF them now remain, who bear the
name Of Democrats but the AntimasOns,
with the most patriotic part OF the Wings,
achieved most glorious triumph, and with
the help OF those noble minded men, they

cry year since. The same STATE officers are
in nomination for reelection that were IN

eau YOU call on me and other Democratic
Animasons 10 desert our principles, which
YOU have heretofore so manlulIv defended

how much longer am not able to say)

the division appears 10 be more in matter
than in manner, which separates those that
bear the name of democrats: but you wish
for consolidation, or coalition, as absurd
as the one we opposed in 1888. Sir, you
can no more unite the ancient with the
modern democrats, than you can unite the
christian religion with worshipping Of
idols, or antimaSonIy with masonry. You
say you wish notice for State Conven-
ton, signed by Democrats, whether Anti
masonic, or Jacksonians, (nnt Whigs) who
are practically opposed to secret societies
and arstceratic monopoIies. Now, Sir,
how is it with those Freemasons with

renowned their masonry? II so, il is well,
but have not been aware Of that fact I:
perhaps they have opposed the manner Of

lEJ9 Judge Cranch has decided against A.
mos Kendall, and ordered him to credit Stock
ton & Stokes the sum allowed them by Con-
gross. If this order is not complied with, prob
ably the Marshal of the District will be obi
ged TO come the grab on Amos. The Judge
is somewhat severe in his decision saws that
if he has no jurisdiction in the case, no court
has, and thus the Postmaster General wonld
be left to disregard all law and outrage justice
