Plan for the .Abolition Of Slavery Hon. David Sears
of Boston, in letter to the venerable Ex-President
John Quincy Adams, proposes the following mode for
the Abolition of Slavery in the United States:-
4. That Commissioners be appointed by the Presi-
dent the United States and confirmed by the Senate
whose duty it shall beunder such conditions as Con
gress may determine-to purchase and emancipate
slaves-beng women and chlldren-born prior TO 1850,
and held bound to service by any citizen of the United
States within such States of this Union as have not
yet abolished slavery and that annual appropriations
be made by Congress for that purpose.
2. That from and after July 1850, there shall be-
throughout the United States, no hereditary SLAVERY
But on and after that date every child born within the
United States of America, their jurisdiction and terri
tories shall be born free.

Sound Sentiments,

Extract of letter from Rev. ]. Mc'Arthur of Gale
donia County:
81 would that your paper or some other of the same
character, presenting the people with principles of poi
lcv more pure and sounder and freer from guile than
are issued from either the wing or democratic presses
might be circulated among the people. 1t is true that
Vermont, as a State, is not so servie 10 the slave
power as some others Of our proessedy free States
It is also true, that paper preends more love to hui
man liberty than some of whig Journals; but will
we, can we believe them? Are not the wings, as d
party, land they can do nothing but as pary,) are
they not welded to the wings of the SOUTH who are
not only proslavery but Shareholders? And do not
know that the whg party, (nor democratic either, can
do anything to favor emancipation without losing
their southern limb and if they lose it. they lose their
existence as party? They cannot therefore move a
finger towards relieving the oppressed long as their
alliance with the south continues; nor in any other
way than by adopting the principles of the Liberty
party, and promoting such men to Office as triU do
something fall in their power for the removal of slave
ry. We may well apply the words Of the apostle
James to the whig party james, chap q 18th and 10th
verses but Of the democratic party, could not ever
credit them with saying, BE ye warmed and flled'-
But the true abotonist shows his faith by his works
He believes slavery sin, Liberty blessing and the
natural and moral right of the black man as well at
the white man. and therefore he votes against not for
slavery. He rotes tor and not against, Liberty. Here
lies the true secret of the Liberty party 1t means tt
unite rorkS with faith; and by works shall faith be
made perfect in the breaking of the accused yoke"

STAGE ACCIDENT A somewhat serious accident
occurred to the Haverh state while driving through
our village on Monday last, by which one passenger,
a lady, was somewhat injured, and one horse killed
1t appears that as the stage turned around the Bank
from the Post Office, the pole dropped to the ground
at which the horses took fright and In turning on
to the Union BRIDGE the sleigh upset and olsen
gagged from the horses. In crossing on to Main St
the leaders became separated from the pole horses
one of the running up and the other running down
the street. The pole horses ran together to Howes
store, where they brought up one of them being killed
instantly against the granite steps, and the other keel
ing over him, Several other seighs were broken up
and horses set hose during the aray-so that it is
said, nine horses were running at one time in the
street. 1t is fortunate that serious accidents
occurred

FOREIGN News. The Caledonia arrived at Boston,
on Monday evening" with news from England to the

The LETTERS OF MARQuE,-A letter from Havana


of 18th ut says
We understand letters of marque have been receiv-
ed here from Mexico and letters of naturalization like
wise for sale. In the printed instructions attached to
the letters of maue it is stated that captures are to be
taken to Mexican ports, but if that is not practicable,
they are to be carried to neutral ports, and will there
be condemned by the Mexican Consul. We believe,
however, that, by the treaties between the U. States
and Span the latter power neither allow prvateers
to be fitted out in any of her ports nor permit Amer
can vessels captured and brought n to be condemned
and we have good grounds for the conviction that our
government will faithfully adhere to these treaties. We
presume other governments at peace with the United
States will act on the same principles, and if SO, pr-
watering enterprises will rendered difficulty besides
which, the fear of being treated pirates by Ameri-
can vessels of war; likely to deter persons from en-
tering into them.

And in Thy name, for robbery and wrong
At thine own affairs pray.
Woe to the Priesthood woe
To those whose hire is with the price of blood -

Their glory and their might
Shall perish; and their very names shall be

A Sad Story. Mr., Williams, of the Georgia Reg
iment in letter to his father dated at Monterey Oct
il, says:
The ranks of our regiment have been terrible thin
ned. We marched across the Chaahootchee river with
nine hundred and ten officers and men, and to-day the
regiment all told, barely numbers six hundred. We
have discharged many from sickness and disability
still we have deposited nearly seventy beneath the
chapparal all in the short space of four months

CONGRESS commenced its session last Monday. 1t
is understood that the Message was to have been de-
lvered in New York on Tuesday noon-that is, as
soon as it delivered in Washington Sealed pack
ages of the Message were to be sent previously to
New York, and opened and distributed the moment
the elegraphc wires announce that the reading had
commenced in Washington. But the message will
not reach here in season for this weeks paper We
shall endeavor to furnish it to our readers next week
and follow it with such sketch of the proceedings
during the session as may be necessary to keep the
people informed of the way in which their servants
manage public affairs The present will be most
deeply interesting session of Congress- With bloody
and costly upon its hands-wth the new tariff and
subtreasury going into operation and with the appa-
rent ebb of its popularity among the people-the ad-
mnstraon will be put to its trumps while The wings
having the ghost of Hartford Convention federal
ism" continually before their eyes, will not dare to do
less than sustain the war with supplies of men and
money, while with their mouth they condcmnit.
