he can himself do it TO the glory of God

We regret the necessity, which CON-
pels US to speak Of some of The disgrace
ful proceedings which have occurred in
this place, during the last week. They
seem to have been originated by opposi-
ton 10 anti slavery meetings, held IN the
Town Room for few evenings past
Mr.. St. Clair came to this place week
or more since, and proposed to discuss
the merits of the anti slavery cause, as
contrasted with other intele tests which
now agtate the country The proposal
called out large assembly, and dis
cusson was carried on between him and
J. Nj. SIade Esq. for two or three eve
nings. 1t was resumed on Monday eve
ming Of last week, and continued two eve
nings more. Every evening the house
was filled to Overlooking, and the people
remained each evening with intense in
terest until a late hour: On Monday
evening there were signs Of disturbance
"a few eggs were thrown bot with litlle
effect. Ga Tuesday evening large
number of rowdies assembled around the
house, and by loud talking and noises
made some disturbance but this not effect
ing their purpose, shower of Missiles,
mostly eggs, was thrown through the
windows, breaking the glass in every d.
recLion. No person however was injur-
ed, (except the ones that threw them, )and
the meeting continued ill Il O'clock
The object seemed to be to prevent, pos
sibe, free discussion Of slavery, and our
present practical relation to it.
1t may be said, that it was the work
Of boys, but "boys" seldom do such things
without moving power behind the cur.
tain. One united voice of disapprobation
from the fathers of Middlebury, will eff
factually prevent "boys'' from doing
such shameful deeds. When uen OF
property and influence are heard 10 say
such person fought TO be rode out OF
town on a rail,' and they "served them
well enough" and Pm glad of it, "boys"
understand what is meant.
We repudiate the idea Of m06bing on
any OCCASION whatever. No possible cir
cumslances can justify it. 1t is not e.
nough to say we were "provoked to iL"-
The Jews justified their treatment Of
Christ on the ground that he "stirred up
the people" EpAesians found an ex-
cuse for their riots because their "Cralt
was in danger" Our Post Master Gen
eral could wink at the disgraceful de-
struction of the mails because lis matter
was "iacendiary" and the Catholics OF
Philadelphia could break up The meeting
at Remington, because the people were
forming a"Nalve American Party,"-
MOI we repeat, there is no justification
for such proceedings. And all who do
no, set their faces against them, are incur
ring dreadful responsibility. 1t is not
enough that we sit and silently look on
that we do not encourage them. Said
Christ, "they that are not for me are a.
galnst me-" and this rule applies in the
case ia question. What are we coming
to, if this state of things continue ? May
not the great moral, civil and politics
questions which now agitale community

SOUTHERN FEELINGs

1t is painful to observe how blunted
the sensibiites Of the people of some
districts of the South have become by
dint of the frequency of bloody crimes
therein. Just read the following an
nouncement MADE recently by the Holly
Springs mississippi "Guard" of" a
fight" as it is so cody call d, by which
10 all probability, a fellow being has
been deprived of life, and hurried into
eternity under feelings more becoming a
hiena than man:
A fight took place on Saturday last ,at
North Mountpleasant, between Capt.
William Coopwood and Mr. Thos. Wren.
1t is stated that the latter was severely
stabbed by the former, and has since
died of the wounds. The particular
we do not know, nor would it be proper
TO state them, as COopaoOOd MAY have
10 undergo 0 judicat trial. q We even
trust that Mr.. Wren is not dead /,
although it is SO stated. We have
known Mr.. Coopwood for years, and
viewed him rs raIuable citizen. (!!)
Reader, Just mark the peculiarly Of
that part ofthe above language taIicised
by us. The editor would not have sta
ted the particulars even if in his pos
session, as the murderer may" be
brought to trial. Then note we'll the
effort to bolstsr up the character of the
survivor, by saying everything favorable
to the catua6Ie CITIZEN nothing against
him
Brethren of the South! we beseech
you to shake off this Iamentabe insen,
sibility, and do your whole duty 10 the
dead as well as the living .......

In his letter to the Wing Convention at
Sheldon, dated July 10Th, Wm. SIade,
Esq, tells US. the Wing party stands at
this moment as the only e6ectuoI barrier
against the speedy consummation of the
dangerous and suicidal scheme of annex
alton for the purpose of perpetuatlng slave
ry.' shall be glad 10 fud the Wings
an enectual barrier agains; the immediate,
or future consummauon OF any wicked
and dangerous scheme; but | do confess
that much doubt the correctness of this
statement. [ have supposed, that the LIB
erty party have done as much TO prevent
the annexation of Texas, as the Wings
aud were it not for their influence, it is no
ways certain, that the Wings would occu-
py their present position. General Tow

.Who doubts the immediate admission OF
Texas into the Union, but for the con-
trolling power over political parties, pos
sessed by aboIhioniss, in some of the
States This shows what men, high in
office at the South, think, and should en-
courage abolitionists TO hold fast their pro-
fesson, and never give up the high posi-
ton, which they now occupy. Such a
declaration speaks volumes; and from
such man it is worth all ii speaks.
There is, think, other barriers besides
wings and abolitionis,s, which must be re-
moved before Texas can be annexed TO
our confederacy. Santa Anna and Next
leo will not consent Even now their
troops may be overrunning that land of
rascals, and their bayonets may soon set
tie the question. 1t is morally certain,
that Texas must remain a lone star, or
Weld to Mexico. The first is the more
desirable, the latter the more probable
event. Let it be remembered that should
Congress pass law annexing Texas or
Canada, to the United States, that would
not bring them. Arguments OF differ
ent nature must be used 10 consummate

AIR eatitude.
Yes--fame is his but not the fame
For which the conqueror pants and strives,
Whose path is tracked lhro'blood and flame,
And over countless human lives!
His name no armed battallons hail
With buglc shrek and laundering gun
No widows curse him as they wall
For slaughtered husband and for son.
Amid the moral strife alone,
He batted fearlessIy and long,
And poured, with clear, untrembling tone,
Rebuke upon the host of wrong
To break expressions cruel rod,
He dared the perlls of the fight,
And in the name of FREEDoM's COP
Struck nobly for the TRUE and RIGHT!
With faith, whose eye was never dim,
The triumph yet afar, he saw,
When, bonds smote off from soul and limb.
And freed alike by Love and Law,
Tie sIave--no more slave--shall stand
Erect--and loud, from sea to sea,
Exultant bursts DER all the land
The glorious song of jubilee
Why should we mourn, thy labor done,
That thou art called to thy reward
Rest, Freedoms war worn champion!
Rest, faithful soldier of the Lord!
For oh. not vainly hast thou stnyen,
Through storm, and gloom, and deepest night
Not vanly hath thy life been given
For COP for FREEDOM, and the RIGHT
Then, as we stand around thy grave,
The solemn pledge let all renew,
Like thee to toll our land to save
From the dark vengeance which is due
So, haply, shall the Lord restrain
The gathered wrath that waits TO break
Or dash it on the bondman's chain,
And spare us for his meTcies sake

CIVILIZATION OF THE BosroN ARIs>
TocRAcY. A wealthy and educated gems
teman of color from Haiti, recently came
10 Boston on business. He sought Iodg>
ines at the fremont House, and taOemty
other hotels aud boarding houses, before
he could find a place where his color
would be tolerated. His mercantile friends
took him TO dine with them at The Mer-
chants Exchange, but he was refused
seat at the table. The reason given for
these repeated indignities was, in almost
every instance, fear ofG0sadiag Southern
cuStomerst Such is the Christianity and
courtesy of the refined arisocra,s of Bos-
lon! The gentleman went TO London in

REMARKS.


In connection with the foregoing, deem
it proper 10 say that at Musical Concert
given at the Town Hall in this village by
John G. Andrews and daughters from
Troy, N. Y, some dozen lads saw fit to
make such noise outside the House, as
greatly to disturb those inside which
was partially put Stop to by Mr. An
drews' very politely inviting the intruders
into the house.
| do not favor the plan of publishing
every incident which occurs, but those
outlandish and outrageous intrusions on
the good order of society have been SO
many times repeated, that | think the at
tentlon Of parents and guardians should
be drawn to the subject, that peradvenlure
reform may be effected. | hope those
who have practised, either from thought
essness or otherwise, such depredations,
will realize the importance of respecting
themselves, if they can be governed by no
higher motives, so much that they will
abandon the practice. And if any parents
or guardians tolerate those innovations it
seems about time that they understood the
danger of encouraging such conduct /; for
history abundantIy proves that those abet-
ted in this way, frequently inaict on the
abeltors the very kind of abuse, they were
encouraged TO visit ON others. Mr. An.
drews was affable in his appearance, and
certainly gave no occasion for such treat
ment. The necessity Of attending to the
paper prevented my hearing the musical
performance. Many who attended spoke
very highly of 1t.
