RAILROADS..

The people of Burlington held Rail Road Meet
ing at the Ioword House, last Wednesday evening,
at which strong and energetic measures were re-
commended to secure the construction of the South
ern route, by way of Rutland, Bellows Falls, and
Keene. 1t was resolved to send delegation to
Boston to look after the interests of Rail Road
for that section. We begin to think that the policy
of Burlington is TO defeat all The roads through Yer
mont; if it is not so, we cannot but be surprizcd
that she throws all her influence Tor the Rutland
route, which is to compete with her in the Lake
transportation, instead of the Central route, which
certainly would not diminish this present important
part of her business.
Kccne NJ H-By letter we learn that the
friends of the Keene route are in high feather
sure Of a road from the Iftchburg at Winchondon
to Charleston Bridge, near the mouth Of Black Riy-
er in Vermont. We arc not sorry indeed, the
best paying route from Montreal to Boston would
undoubtedly be thrD' Franklin, Chittenden, Wash
ineton, Orange, and Windsor Counties-to run eli
ther through Keene or Bratteboro' on to Boston
And this, too, would meet the interests Of the val
ley Of the Connecticut north Of White River: u
road would be extended up the Connecticut just as
far and as fast as it would pay.

Rail Road. BY notice of meeting Of this cor.
poration, held in London published in Wlllmcr's
News Letter of the 18th inst, we learn that Mr..
Gait agent of the b. A. l.. Co., was authorized TO
subscribe to the stock of a Rail Road through the
Eastern townships in Canada, the sum of 100000
sterling, on condition of e30,000 being raised by
other means.

Lexington KY, last week, upon three several in
dictmenls for the abduction OF slaves from their

"lIe elected to be tried on all the indictments
at once, pleaded guilty to the charge, and threw
himself upon the cemency of the Jury. lie made
a brief address to the jury stating, in substance,
that he an abolitiouist by education that he
had been reared TO regard slavery a cry ing sin,
and that to relieve men from its bondage vr-
tue, instead of crime; that he was satisfied, how
ever, that lac had violated the laws Of the State, in
the act which he had committed, and deserved pun
ishment therefor; but in consideration of the fact
stated prayed the leniency of the Jury in his case

AN ESSENTIAL SNUB

President Polk arrived at Washington on Tues
day of last week. In order to sgnnIize this event
with due formally, the Locofoco members of the
House took it upon themselves TO appoint commit
tee of one from each State having a Locofoco
member to meet the President elect, and escort
him to the capital But in making up this commit
tee Vermont omitted And for what reason,
do yon imagine, gentle reader? Because she had
no member in favor of the Annexation Of Texas !!
Mr.. Dillingham; voted against the Texas resolutions,
and was therefore denied the privilege of represent
ting his State on committee of reception! We'll

liberty'-the liberty Of thinking and voting just as
the leaders dictate 81 wish it distinctly under
Stood" said the Emperor, that every man is at lib
erty to vote as he plcases but those who vote a.
ganst me will probably lose their heads! So with
the new administration. 1t is bent upon "enar-
ging the area of freedom and those who hesitate
are to be regarded traitors and, as in tins inst
anco, insulted and spit upon Mr. Polk may now
be regarded as in the hands of his /" committee"
aud the decree has virtually gone forth, that no
" inpracticabe,' like Dillingham;, is to approach
the throne or have influence at court during this ado
mlnisraton. This Is truly unfortunate for a large
class of PERSONS in this State, who have been rely
ing upon the decisive influence their lone represen-
tative was to have in arranging the new order of
things But what will they do about ii? Pocket

send to New Hampshire for substitute, and final
ly crawl up TO the dignity OF touching the hem Of
official power? Or will they rebuke the insult ?

rh. Seduction Bill.

After farther debate, the House rejected the
substitute of Mr.. Baily of Putnam for the Commit
tee BILL by vote of 4S TO As. a reconsideration
was az once moved by Mr. Coe, and carried, on
Friday afternoon, by 80 10 4S. Nr. Bailys bill was
then adopted by 55 to 20. Fir. Morrison OF this
City then offered substitute for the newly adopted
bill, which Messrs Harris and Comstock favored.
Mr.. Van valkenburgh of Stsuben warmly urged
the passage of some bill. MIR. ]. Young proposed
substitutes for several sections of Mr.. Baiys bill
On motion Of Mr. Comstock, the Committee rose.
and, on motion of Mr. ]. Young, the whole subject
was referred to Selec, Committee TO report bill
complete.
We hope there is no disposition entertained by a
majority Of the Legislature TO shuttle of this I'M
portant measure, though there are some indications
Of it. Many Members who sag they are IN favor
of good bill to punish Seduction and Adultery are
amazingly hard to please. These gentlemen will
be very sharply watched by their constituents
