The ssBoYs.'-A gentleman who was
lately travelling in Vermont, relates the
following incident, which we hope our
southern readers will observe, as an indi
cation of the spirit which is likely to pre-.
vail among the next generation of educat-
ed men of the North. Our correspondent
says:-EmGnciPGtor.
"On Friday last, came in contact with
eight or nine young men on board the
stage. They were students from differ EN-
parts of the country, who had been attend
ing the Medical Lectures at Woodstock
Very soon after we left w., pro-sIavery
gentleman introduced the 'exciting sub
iect,' and commenced discussion with
me. To my great satisfaction, very soor
learned that every student on board the
coach was thorough-going aboltionist
The individual who introduced the sub
ject, soon began to complain of the hea
in the coach, and it was not long before hi
found it insuferable, and took his seat OF
the top of the baggage. o, how cheer
ing, to meet with such a company o
strong young men, all favorable to tn
interests of Gods suffering poor!'
