According 10 previous notice, a numerous and
highly respectable assemblage OF citizens of Rut.
land County convened on Tuesday the god ut. at
the Court House IN Rutland TO take into consider
alton the proPriety of petlioning Congress for i'm.
mediate action the subject of Protective Tar
iff.
The meeting organized by appointing the Hon.
Moses Strong Chairman, and Jmes II. Newell
Secretary.
On motion, committee was appointed to draft a
Memorial and Resolutions TO present to the consid
Grafton of the meeting. The Committee consisted
of Solomon Foot, Edgar l.. Ormsbee, Gordon
Newell, Preserved Fish and Enooh Smith. The
Convention adjourned until o'clock, afternoon.
On the re-assembling of the Convention in the
afternoon, the following Memorial presented
which was unanimously adopted, and it was order
ed by the meeting that the Executive Committee be
requested to have it printed and distributed in the
various towns of Rutland County in season TO have
it presented to the people for their signatures if
practicable at their March meetings.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives
of the United States in Congress assembled
The Memorial of the undersigned, citizens Of
Rutland county and its vicinity in the State of
Vermont, respectfully sheweth, That your memo>
rialisis have for long time witnessed with fee
lings of deep concern, the injurious consequences
resulting to our manufactures from the want of
adequate legislative protection against the mm nse
consolidated capital, the long experience and prac-
teal Skill the cheap labor, the crowded popu aton
and excessive competition of European nations
Against the cheap labor of foreign countries
made cheap by reducing the wages of labor TO the
lowest amount that will barely sustain life Gan a.
mount That makes ten in hundred paupers and
keeps eighty of the remaining ninety in a state a
little above pauperdom -
We desire Protection.
Your memoraiists farther shew, That they bave
viewed with still deeper feelings of concern not
unmixed with alarm, the want of countervailing
legislation to protect the lumber of the north east
The grain of the north west the tobacco and hemp
of the middle States, and the beef pork, and wool
of all the States, from the high discriminating du
ties which are levied upon these important staples
in all those European countries with which we
have any considerable commerce.
Your memorialisis farther shew That in the poi
cy pursued by our great customer England in rela-
ton to our only remaining staple, cotton, we can
clearly that as it regards foreign market in
few years cotton oiit be where wool is no,1.
In view of these and many more considerations
equally pressing and equally obvious, we respect
fully but most earnestly entieat of Congress 10 at
once enter upon the consideration of such system,
and so soon as may be, 10 ature it, as will ensure
adequate protection to manufactures and me-
chancs, home market to farmers, and true.

Accounts from Constantinople to 9th Dec.
give the particulars of a great battle which was
fought between the Russians and Crcassians, a
bout the middle of October, which commenced
in the pass of Hamish, about six miles from the
Castle of Sotcha. The Russians had about 5000
Geol gan and Migrelian cavalry, with 10000 or
900 of their infantry. The Circassjans were
less than 1900 in number The Russians attacked
with the cavalry, but were so vigorously opposed
that they fell back upon the infantry, 10 whom
they communicated the panicand the consequence
was total defeat, less than $500 being left
dead on the field. Some escaped to tho ships
which, 49 in number, lay within gun-shot of tine
shore; some drowned in attempting TO swim
eff to them; and escaped and entrcnched
themselves in the fort at Sotcba, but which they
afterwards evacuated, and sailed away in theiI

RESIGNATION OF HENRY CLAY.

When last had the honor Of an appointment as

years. In consequence of there having been two
extra sessions of Congress, have already attends

Congress. ordinarily happen during Senatorial

have for several years desired to retire into
private life, but have hitherto been prevented from
executing my wish by considerations of public du-
ty. should have resigned my seat in the Senate
at the commencement of the present session, but
for several reasoDsone of which was that the Gen
eral Assembly did not meet until near month at
ter Congress, during which time the Senate would
not have been fully represented, or my successor
would have had only the uncertain title of an Elk,
ecuiive appointment.
The time has arrived when, l think, that
without any just reproacb, may quit the public
service, and besIow some attention my private
affairs, which have suffered much by the occupa-
ton of the large part of my life in the public
ellis. If the Roman veteran had title to a discharge

much longer period, may justly claim mine.

There needs be more knowledge, more feeling

it the duty of the Civil authorities IN the several
towns, to return, annually, ALL; specifying their
several conditions Sc, and this, whether they ask
for aid or not.
