We fear that crisis is approacb;no

WIN pool OF strife: for it is impossible tina,
oulrages so garng as are those continually
being perpetrated on the lakes, can long be
tamely borne by either nation. The des.
trucilon OF the Caroline alone, was sufficient
TO have have endangered the TRANQUILITY of
the two countries and nothing but mutual
forbearance could have subdued the fearful
storm which gathered beneath the smoke Of
the Sir Robert Peel; but we know moi
whether any thing but the interpostion of
DIVINE Providence, can keep the sword
sheath'd, now that another outrage has
been perpetrnted by indlscreel-if moi wilful-
ly malicious men.
The facts of this last act, ms we gather
them from the captain of the Telegraph h, are
substantially as follows.
The Telegraph left Oswego at 6 o'clock

but, apprehensive that all was not right he
told the passengers to come on board in the
small boat. But this would not satisfy the
crowd, who insisted upon the boats coming
up TO the dock.

vyhig State Convention.

The State Committee having issued call
for general convention Of the Wings Of this
state, to be held at Montpelier on the 9th inst.
for the purpose of nominating candidates for
state officers and the transaction of such other
business as may be necessary preparatory to
the coming election, the undersigned feeling
the importance of general representation from
all parts of the state, would respectfully urge
upon the Wings of all the towns in this county,
the appointment of delegates to attend said
convention. Every man of reflection must be
aware that the present is an important crisis in
the political affairs ofour nation. The Wings
have long struggled against the tide of misrue
which threatened, and had indeed well nigh
overwhelmed our land. AT length the force of
the measures of the administration, have pre-
vailed to work mighty change in the political
character of the nation, which has forced the
men in power to commence a retrograde move
ment that should not stop until it has counter
acted all those pernicious measures of Gen.
Jackson which have wrought such ruin in our
land. 1t is therefore of the utmost Importance
that this state should continue to maintain the
high position which she has long held. A tri-
umph of Loco Focoism here would have most
unpropitious influence through the whole coun-
try. Let the Wings do their duty and no such |
event is To he fisared

IMPORTANT FROM CANADA.

BY the Northern mail OF last evening. We
have Montreal papers 10 the 9th, and Que
bee Of the 4th. The greatest excitement
prevails. Sir John Colborne arrived ia
Montreal on Tuesday, with several officers
Of the army, and left Immediately for Up
per Canada. The Herald says {" His Elk
cellency will inspect Fort Henry and give
the necessary orders for erecting forli6ca.
tons along the frontier, in case of general
war, now becoming more probable every
day."
The Earl OF Durham has issued proc
lamation offering reward of thousand
pounds for the apprehension Of any indiyid-
uals connected with the recent outrage on
the Sir Robert Peel, and exhorts her males.
TVS subjects, Notwithstanding the aggra-
waited provocaion they have received, care.
fully 10 abstain from any act Of retaliation,
which may expose them TO the imputation
ia disregard oil their own honor, by vio-
lation OF the internal rights Of adjoining pow
ers." Sir George Arthur has also issued a
proclamation oil a similar character, but con-
tanning less conciliatory language. He
charges the outrage upon the citizens of the
United States, and insists that redress should
be Immediately demanded OF our Govern
ment. The S5th regiment and the three Ie.
naming companies of the 54th, together
with the detachment just arrived TO join that
regiment, received orders for Upper Cana
da. The Coldstrcam Guards were expected
to set off Immediately
Troops are to be stationed at a the points
which are most exposed along The frontier,
and large reinforcements are ordered into
the Upper Province, from Quebec, to gar-
rison the fertilization.
The persons who fired upon the Steam.
boat Telegraph, were Immediately arrested
and lodged in Jail. 1t is to be hoped tina,
the prompt exercise of authority on both
sides, will have the effect to prevent recur-
renee ofsuch disgracefu transactions.

The Mans are most outrageously deranged
at the present time. Some very aggravated
and unfortunate cases of neglect we have heard
of which loudly call for reform. A letter from
Baltimore was lately received in this town long
after it was due, which arrived in the Boston
mail, having been forwarded there from the
Hartford post Office. II has often happened
during the past year, that packages for this
place have been put in the wrong bag at
Hartford, and consequently carried beyond the
place of their destination, and returned after
wards in the northern mail. Southern letters
not unffequently arrive here in the eastern and
northern mails, and eastern letters in the south
ern mail Within few days letter from the
south for this place, was so forwarded from
Hartford, that it went by this office and return
ed in the northern mail after the person for
whom it was designed had left town, in conse-
quercc of which he was prevented from obtain
ing information Of considerable Importance
In another case letter was mailed for person
here informing him ofthe sickness of his daugh-
ter, and being carried north and not returned
for two days, he failed TO learn the fact and
was unable to reach her before her DEATH
There is great carelessness in the Hartford Of
fee and it demands correction. The Post
Master at New York ought also to know bet
ter than to send letters for the towns in the
valley of the Connecticut, pia albany as he
frequently does. They should be sent via
Hartford, and if forwarded properly thence |
those for this place would reach here the mex
after leaving N. Y. instead of being
two days on the way.
ANTIQUITIES. We last week recorded the |
death of Mr.. Billy Willard, one of our oldest
inhabitants, aged SO; and lest the interesting
Tact should have been overlooked under our
obituary head, we will again mention that he
was the first white male person born in this
town. He was born in old Fort Dummer,
lew miles from this village, where the first set
Element was made in the state. Bennington is
he oldest incorporated torn, but the first set
lement was made in the southeast corner Of
his county II was from this place that Mrs.
lowe was carried captive by the Indians TO
janada. Her descendants now live in Yer
ION. We regret 10 learn that the old fort,
bout miles south of here, which has so long
cen an object OF curiosity and interest has been
emolished to make room for a more conven-
mt and modern house. Thus one after anoth- ,
+ OF all our relicks Of antiquity pass away
is TO be regretted that no more pains are
lken TO preserve them. How much better
'ould II have been to have removed this old
'rt entire, as was perfectly feasible, aud set il 7
