STATE TEMPERANCE CoNvENTIoN.-Tht
call the Executive Committee Of the Mas
sachusetts Temperance Society, upon The
friends Of temperance TO come up here ant
have talk, was nobly responded 10, yester
day, by host OF worthy men from all part;
of the State. Our spacious Town Hall was
crowded with men who seemed most deeply
alive to the woes which rum infilcts upon il:
victims, and who felt as phianthropists anc
christians, that they were bound TO relax nc
efforts, and let no impeachment turn them from
the path which duty 10 God and man points
out.
The Convention was called 10 order by
John Tappan, Esq, of Boston. Alter fer.
vent prayer from Rev. DR.. Fisk, of N. Brain
tree, tina: God would bless their efforts, in the
holy cause of temperance, the Convention
was organized by the choice OF DIR. s. b
Woodward of this town, as President; Gen
Salem Towne, of Charlton, w. Davidson,
Esq. Of Lowell, Hon. A. Bigelow of Worces-
ter. and G. Church, oil Westport, as Vice
Presidents; Rev. R. B. Hubbard, J. w. Good
rich, Esq, of Worcester, II. Seymour, Of
Springfield, and Daniel Kimball, Of Boston,
as Secretaries
While the business Committee were enGa-
ged in laying out work for the Convention,
the audience were addressed by several gen
tlemen, upon the subject which has filled the
hearts of the true friends of temperance with
grief, and its enemies with joy.-the fall OF
John b. Cough. Two gentlemen had stated
that they had within day or two had a long
interview with Mr.. Cough. They said that
he was slowly recovering, physically, but the
remorse and anguish of his mind we're SO
great, that he wept like child continually.
and could not find words TO express his grief
at tire foolishness into which the force Of his
appetite had led him.
The Committee on business reported Sc
ries of seventeen resolutions, embracing sub
jects upon which temperance men are gener-
ally agreed. They were adopted without
much discussion. There was some debate
upon The proprrely of enacting more efficient
laws for the suppression of the traffic in ar
dent spirits, which scemedI 10 be based upon
the anlicipateddecision ofthe Supreme Court
in favor of the constitulionality ofthe Massa-
chnsetis License Laws. John Tappan, Esq
OF Boston, assured the Convention that he
was authorized to state that such would be
the decision Worcester Spy.

RUTLAND RAILROAD MEETING

in pursuance Of the published call fer that
purpose, a large meeting of the citizens of
Boston, friendly TO the construction OF the
Railroad connecting Boston, by the way of
Bellows Falls and Rutland, with Burlington
was held at the fremont Temple, on Monday
evening, September %.
The meeting was called 10 order by James
Read, Esq, and organized by the appoint
ment of Charles w. Cartwright, Chairman.
E. e. Hutchins and Edmund w. Dana, Sec
retaries.
Benjamin Seaver, Esq, thereupon intro
duced the following resolutions, which, after
full and animated discussion, were unani-
mously adopted.
Resoired: That Railroad to connect Bos-
ton with Burlington, by the way OF Western
Vermont, through the valley of Otter Creek,
is entitled to encouragement and aid from the
citizens of Boston.
l Because it would open 10 Boston the bu-
siness and trade Of large and important sec
ton of Vermont, richer in agricultural and
mineral resources than any other section of
New England, of equal extent
2. Because the business and trade of this
section of Vermont, having hitherto gone al
most exclusively 10 New York, would, by the
construction of such a road, be secured TO
3. Because such road would be the short
est practicable avenue and communication
between Boston and Burlington.
4. Because il is road which recent sur
veys have shown can be easily and cheaply
constructed and operated. and, therefore, by
reason of the immense business resources up
on its line, one in which investments would
be safe and profitable.
n RecauSa the construction Oc this road
would, at once, and permanently, make the
city of Boston the Commercial Emporium OF
very nearly the whole state of Vermont.
6. Because the inhabitants of Vermont,
whose interests are 10 be affected by this road,
have testified their desire to transfer their
business connections from New Y ork 10 Bos-
ton, and have exhibited their confidence in
the productiveness ofinvestments in this great
enterprise, BY subscribing nearly one hall OF
the whole amount Of capital required 10 COM
plete it.
Z. Because it is tho wise policy of Boston
to aid, by all practicable and honorable
meansi every enterprise which tends 10 bring
TO IT the business of those sections &c country
which are now compelled TO seek other mar
kets; and
s. Because public and private interests
combine TO constitute this project one oil great
importance TO the increasing prosperity of
Boston.
ReSolred, therefore that the Champaign and
Connecticut River Railroad ought at once 10
receive such encouragement and aid from
the business men and capitalists of Boston, as
will secure IFS immediate completion.
Resotred, Thata Committee oitwenty-si1
be appointed, to procure subscriptions from
the citizens Of Boston, to the capital st0ck.of
this road.
Agreeab!y 10 the last Resolution, the fol-
lowing named persons were placed on tho
Committee to obtain subscribers 10 the sleek
in said Railroad.

POLITICAL PATRONAGE.

The extent of political patronage in this
country is enormous. The influence the
power of welding gives it almost incalcula-
bie, and always dangerous. 1t is an influ-
ence which may be directed SO as to control
our elections 1t is an influence which never
rises above or beyond the reach of political
! corruption and the easy virtue Of hot parti-
zanship. Hence it is an influence which,
more than any other, the Republic has more
reason TO guard against and fear.
The statistics of official appointments pre-
sent many facts Of startling nature. A wri-
ter in the democratic Rerieic," for the pres
ent month. sets his face against the exercise
of this mighty patronage. points out its hydra
headed evils clearly and cogently, and recon-
mends, as a remedy, its distribution among
The people. He reasons strongly, and spices
his argument with spriukling of nippins sar-
casms, not altogether complimentary of the
Party TO which he belongs. and which is no.
torous for its ever keen scent after the "spoils
of victory"
The following appointments are under the
control Of the General Government of The Uni
ted States at Washington -

Deputies or Clerks $4,000

will produce deep and wide spread sensation
among his countrymen, and mingled though it may
and will be with many bitter remembrances, the
general feeling will be one of respectful sorrow fol
the departure Of gallant soldier and true lover
of the land that had heaped upon him its highest
honors. As soldier, he had served his country
well and faithfully, and if his merits as a military
man were sullied, as they certainly were, by grea
errors az civilian, this is not the time nor our,

freshly broken sod is resting on his remains, there
can be no other feelings permitted to obtrude tsel
