unqualified condemnation To which he replied !:

To OUR CITIzEss.-It seems 10 US, who view
things through eyes unblinded by prejudice, that
citizens are really remiss in that which their In'
terest and convenience demands. We number al,
this time not far from 200 souls, and yet we have
no general market. We have no place where our
country friends resort when they bring to our city
the ovcrplus product of their farms and larders.-
This iswrong. 1t is in direct opposition to the in
terest Of every family in Aberdeen, whs are Deepen.
dant upon the farmer for the necessaries Of life,
such for instance, as butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes,
meal, flour, &c. The farmer brings all these
things to town, and he is either obliged to hawk
them around the streets, (Which many we know
will not dog take them to the grocer and SELL
The citizen wants these article; they can be Ind oil
the grocer. But does he not have 10 pay the gro
for his trouble; on average. say at least Is
per cent This amount is of but trifling importance
upon few pounds of butter, but man who has g
large family, and who expcnds from two hundred
and fifty to three hundred dollars with the grocer
per year. can very well estimate the amount in the
aggregate.
These are positions that cannot be denied, and
we think it subject that demands immediate ac'
ton from our common council.
We go for energetic measures, where the inter-
ests of the people are so deeply concerned as they
evidently in this case Justice to the family oil
every mechanic in this community demands action
of some kind, that will ensue him provisions at the
lowest price.
Let our Common Council men reflect upon this
matter. Let them make proposals for the building
of a market house at some convenient point, and
then enquire if our citizens will not readily abide
the requisiton of a tax necessary to meet the ex.
pense of it. 1t is subject in which all are interes
ed. We shall wait few days to see If our sug.
gcstion meets the appreciation Of our citizens; if it
does, we shall speak more plainly of what We con.

The meeting was called 10 order Nv
James Read, Esq. and organized by The
appointment OF Charles w. Cartwright,
chairman, E. c. Huychins aud Edmund
w. Dana, Secretaries.
Benjamin Seaver, Esq, thereupon intro.
duced the following resolutions, which,
after foil and animated discussion, were
unanimously adopted.
ResOIred, That Railroad 10 connect
Boston with Burlington. bv the way of
Western Vermont, through the valley Of
Otter Creek, is entitled 10 encoura cement
and aid from the citizens Of Boston.
/. Because it would open to Boston The
business and trade Of large and import
ant section of Vermont, richer in agricul.
Iural and mineral resources than any other
section of New England, of equal extent.
2. Because the business and trade oflhis
section of Vermoor, havrng hitherto gone
almost exclusively 10 New York, would.
by the construction of such a road BE- Sc
cured to Boston, and can be secured in no
other way.
3. Because such road would be The
shortest practicable avenue of conmuni>
cation between Boston and Burlington.
a. Because 1t is road which recent
surveys have shown can be easily and
cheap constructed and operated, ard,
therefore, by reason OF the immense bus;-
ness resources upon its line, one in which
investments would be safe and profitable
5. Because the construction Of this road
would, at once, and permanently, make
The city of Boston the Commercial Empo-
Of very nearly the whole State Of Yer
mont.
6. Because the Inhabitants Of Vermont,
whose Interests are 10 be affected bv this
road, have testified their desire to transfer
their business connections from N. York
TO Boston, and have exhibited their conf.
deuce In the producliveness of investments
IN this great enterprise, BY subscribing
nearIy one half OF the whole amount Of
capita required to complete it.
7. Because it is the wise policy of Bos.
ton to aid, by all practicable and honora.
Bile means, every enterprise which tends 10
bring to ii the business OF those sections Of
counny which are now compelled 10 seek
other markets; and
s. Because public and private Interests
combine TO constitute this project one of
great Importance to the increasing pros
perily OF Boston.
Res0Ioed, Therefore, that The Cham.
plain aud Connecticut River Railroad
ought at once to receive such encourages
ments and aid from the business men and
capitalists of Boston, as will secure its i'm
mediate completion.
ResOlced, That committee of twenty
six be appointed, TO procure subscriptions
from the citizens of Boston, 10 the capital
stock Of this road.
Agreeaby to The last resolution, The
following named persons were placed on
the committee to obtain subscribers to the
stock in said Railroad.

To The Selectmen 0nd Orersee, Oft Poo,

AT the last annual
March Meeting of the town of Windsor
The undersigned were appointed a Com
mitee to confer with the Public Authori,
ties of the various towns in the County of
Windsor, with reference to taking some
suitable action to procure all Legislation
necessary 10 enable the County to erect
and maintain, within It's limits, House of
Correction. The undersigned take this
method of performing 10 part the duty
thus assigned them. Their immediate OBJ
ject is, 10 collect statistical information and
10 agree upon some course of action, hav-
ing reference to the object TO be accom-
plIshed.
1t is but proper, that as preliminary TO
any Inquiry, the undersigned should lay
before you, in brief, the considerations
which have induced the town of Windsor
TO move ia this matter. 1t is
TO put under proper restraint aud dis,
cipline the idle and the vicious.
10 avoid the expense and bad effects of
Imprisonment in the common jaii-and
To better regulate our Poor Houses by
removing therefrom all except those, who,
because of age, or icfrmiIy, are unable
10 earn their support.
By an examination Of our Statute laws
it will be found, that very large number
of Offences are made punishable either by
Imprisonment. in the common jail, or by
fine; in some cases both these penalties
may be inflicted, the cul prit IN all cases of
fine being liable to imprisonment in the
common Jail until the sentence of the court
is complied with.
Now, punishment by imprisonment in
the common Jail would seem to be subject
to very strong objections, some Of which
we will enumerale:
|. 1t is not in its nature calculated TO
produce the desired effect upon the often
der. Placing the offender only on level
with the unfortunate debtor, it does no,
deter from crime; and, excluding him
from the saIutary effects OF exercise and
employment and subjecting him 10 all the
degrading effects OF morose feeling, IL does
mol produce q reformation,
2. Not required to do any thing for
his own support, the punishment OF the
criminal, in Ibis way, Is only u burden to
society. Society is thus subjected to a
double burden, that Of crime and also that
of its punishment.
8 It's operation in this latter respec,
tends 10 p1e0e@t tie punishment of the
criminal. Rather than incur the expense
of his conviction aud imprisonment, soce>
ty often prefers TO permit the criminal 10
