nit a second crime in order TO conceal the first

ARoLITIONlSTS LOOK AT TuJ

If those of our citizens who have connected
themselves as an Abolition party, have The least
regard TO consistency and correct conduct, we ask
them 10 consider the disastrous consequences
which have flowed and are yet likely TO flow,
from their political organizations and from their
adverse participation in The elections OF those
Sttaes in which they have combined to defeat The
operations of either Of the two great political par.
ties. While there is not the most distant prospect
that they will be able 10 promote the great end for
for which they profess to be striving by the course
in which they are now engaged, il is clearly man
ilest that they are defeating some Of The measures
which would seem to be part Of their system.
The odious 2lst rule Of the House of Repre-
sentaves Ot Congress, which lorbds the recep-
ton of any petition on The subject of the Adolf
ton Of Savery-a rule which is in manifest yio-
aton of the constitutional and legal rights Of The
people--a rulc which involves violation of pops
uar liberty, which would hardly be submitted 10
for an instant by the people Of the south, if it had
been adopted against ihem--this rule, be il known,
is at this moment in force, By The direct and imme.
diate action ofthe political .Abotiiion party.
AT tho organization of the House OF Reprosen-
taves for The present session, motion was made
that the rules and orders Of the last House should
be adopted, to govern the proceedings Of this
House. The Hon. John Quincy Adams mme-
diaely rose and moved to except the 2lst Rule.
This moIlon gave rise TO a drbale-upon The con
cusion of wi ich the question was put 10 the
House, ana MIR. Adam mOtlOn was IOSs-Jl
members voting TO reject the rule, and 90 to sus-
tain il.
We have carefully analysed the names of the
members as they are recorded upon this vote.-
Not a single Whig Member from any one of The
non SlavehOding Staes, poied in favor QCrelaining
The rule IWenty-nine Locofoco Members from
the Misunderstanding Siaies vosd IN favor ofrean-
ing The rule =! lf,he abolition voters in hIassa-
chusets and Maine had not separated themselves
from the political parties with which they had
before acted, there can be no doubt that four or
five districts, not now represented on the floor OF
the House would have sent members there, who
would have voted against this odious twenty first
rule, and who might have had weight and inau-
ence sufficient TO have prevented il from any lon
ger disgracing The records Of the House. Are the
Aboliionists doing any good to the cause of liber-
~ by this course OF proceeding? We must put
the question to themselves for an answer.
The following are the names of the twenty mine
Locofoco members from the non slaveholding
States, who voted to retain the 2lst rule. Several
Of them were elected by the fundamentally Of
Abolition votes.

NeO Court House. Tic Watchman suggests

ted to advantage for these objects combined. We
answer in the affirmative as TO The Court House
and Hall; in the negative as to the Academy
that should be farther removed from the noise
and hustle. For these obj ects suppose the coun-
ty should raise $4,000 in addition to The $1,000 in
surance and old materials on hand, and the village
| OF Montpelier much more. pretty small
pattern, but could it not he squeezed out in these
hard times? We have mind that both county
and village should attempt TO view the subject
through the proper medium and act upon some
thing like enlarged and liberal ideas.-Patriot.
This agrees essentially with our en notions Of
proprety and right. 1t is tue we suggested a
connection of the Academy, as being an improve
ment Of things as they are, and ms aiding in CIV
ing funds for respectable building but not at
all as being the most suitable way of providing
for the academy. 1t is also true that We did not
suggest county tax, because we supposed that
would defer the matter for n year and also be-
cause we entertained doubts whether the county
would agree 10 The tax, light as it win be-. Per.
hups we were mistaken, both in our supposilion
Hiu our III any Tdie we HOpe 50, ne
county absolutely needs better house, with ac-
COMMUNICATIONS which the other did not Afford
In this, we have no doubt, all the people of the
county accord who have personal knowledge of
the matter. IT is then clearly right that the coun-
ty should go so far as TO provide that which is alb
solulely needed. But village hall is needlul for
village purposes. This clearly does mol belong
to the county to provide; nobody asks that lit
is matter which belongs TO The village alone, and
which we trust the people of the villnge will
cheerluy provide. Such an opportunity as the
present Of doing it economically, and at the same
time contributing to adorn our village, by uniting
with the county in the erection Of good build
ing, may never occur again, Many of our ci-
zens seem to be in favor of improving the oppor-
tunily. We are confident none will regret it, if it
is done, aud tOeN done.
At the meeting on Monday evening commit
tee was appointed 10 confer with the Court, and
will report n, future meeting. Then the BUSH
nses will be in train SO as To propose something
for deGnlye action.

If the reader peases, he may remember that
while he is reading the beginning of this British
story, the end thereof is not yet printed-perhaps
not yet wrilten-in England. Nevertheless, from
the past now in our possession, we can vouch that
il is one of the very best tales which has been
published for years. Nobody can read it without

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

Although perhaps the attempt to annex Texas
will receive the go-by at the present Congress-it
being the policy Of the locos 10 gel into pO,oer (o
The neri four gears before they commit themselves,
every day brings developments proving that the
question is to be met, sooner or later. Al the o.
paning Of the South Carolina legislature, the Gov
erner strongly recommended annexation, or roh-
er an assumption Of Texas as our own. This
plan is more fully shown by series of resolu-
lions which were introduced into the House 'ol
Representatives ISouth Carona) ON the 9Th inst.
and referred 10 the committee OH foreign relations
They contend that Texas was ceded with Louisi-
ana 10 The U. S. in 1903 and then became an in
tcgral part Of the United States that under the
Constitution the Federal Government has no pow
er to cede away any part Of the u. s., and there
fore the treaty Of 1919 (ccding Texas to Spain is
null aud void. Here it will be seen that Sou,k-
Carolina can't get along without multiplying the
treaty of 1872
Ia Texas there is strong feeling in favor Of
annexation. The Redlunder says tina, IAN nj
most unanimous voice of The people would hail
as the proudest era of their lives, the time that
would again permit them TO assume the lofty tile
of American cilizcns;" and The Houston Tole =

Fire. We regret to learn that the village of
Tbet(ord, VI has been visited by very severe
fire for the place. The store, out.buildings and
goods Of DR.. Kendrick-the dwelling house, barn
and sheds OF Lowell Carey Esq, and the law Of
flee of AbiOh Howard jr Esq, were on Monday
evening last consumed by fire. All insured by
the Orange Co. Mutual in the sum OF four thou
sand dollars. This loss to the company, which
has not been very long in operations, is quite heavy

Improving. We are glad 10 see that our neigh
Dor of the Patriot is not only condemning The in
famous gag--aas the 2lsruIe-bui also approves
the famous one hour rule which was adopted by
the last Wing Congress. All this, too, is endorsed
by the North Star. Well-ihere were many 9th.
er virtues in that Wing Congress, which VIC have
strong hope the Patriot will confess yet. THAI,
Congress was much abused by tile locos; and it
has been abused by our neghbor: may he live
to repent, and do 1t justice.
