VERMONT.--The Vermont Legislature
adjourned sine die on the 3rd inst. Before
their adjournment, says the Louisville Jour-
nal, the House of Representatives passed
resolutions declaring that Vermont will not
give her assent 10 the admission of any new
State into the Union whose constitution tol.
crates slavery; and, declaring the opinion Of
the House, that the war with Mexico "was
not founded in any imperative necessity.
such as may justify or excuse Christian ma
ton for resorling to arms" and that Kit has
now manifestly become an offensive war a.
gainst neighboring Republic"
They declore further that 'lhe honor and
best interests of the nation will be subserved
by speedy end of the war with Mexico, and
The settlement of all matters in dispute by
arbitration or negotiation"

MASSACHUSETTS, ELECTIONS
The Wings have hardly left grease spot of
their opponents in-the old Bay State. They
have elected the entire delegation 10 Con-
gress. Gov. Briggs majority will be from
10000 10 10000 The entire Senate, forty
members, will be wing. As far as heard
from, 90 wings, IL locos, and abolition re-
personalities have been chosen.
The Boston Post, loco, acknowledges
the corn, in advance of returns from the
whole State He bears the reverses of his
party like man. Hear him:
The democrats cannot have strong hopes
of eleeting a single Senator. On the vote
for Governor we have returns from Sc
veral counties, all in favor of the wings
The wings have elected their Governor,
Lieut. Governor, majority in the legsla-
ture, and succeeded in all the Congressional
districts. The Democratic vote is unusually
small, and we shall go 70 bed aud sleep as
we can.

DEMOCRATIC "PROGREss.'

The New York Globe of Saturday last
says: "The great ratification meeting at
Tanmany Hall adopted resolution in favor
of giving 10 every landless man having no
means Of paying for land, sufficient land 10
make good sized FARM" and of course. as
very fair corollary TO so liberal proposition
that, on squandenng his farm thus acqur ed
and becoming again ''landless," he shall
have another. The Globe goes on TO felici
tate all the ''landlcss" of its party in this
wise: "The National Reformers,' as they are
styled, have succeeded, as we expected they
would, TO engrafi one of their principles and
an important one, upon the Tammany De-
mocracy. 1t will now succeed. Many years
will not elap'e before every man who wants
land TO I'LL for the support of himself and
family can go and take possession of as much
as he can ill, free Of price"
This would all be very we'll If all those
who are not "landess" would consent; but

o. We are glad TO hear of the increas-
ing popularity OF our townsman. Willard Car
penter, Esqr., for The office of State Trustee
for our Canal. We learn from a reliable
source, and in several instances from men,
bers themselves, that every member from this
congressional district of both parties, will
give him their support for that office, believ-
ing him every way capable, and anxious that
that officer should be taken from this end OF
the State. In the counties along the line OF
the Canal we know he has many friends, and
IN other parts of the State also; whether they
will be found sufficiently numerous to elect
him we cannot say, yetwe sincerely hope SO
he has deserved it and the State will be all
the gamer by clecting him.

GIVE learn from the New York Journal
of Commerce that "lhe subscriptions OF the
bondholders TO the new contract with the
State of Indiana, are going forward with a
degree of spirit which gives promise that
the arrangement so desirable for all parties
will be completed"
This is welcome intelligence. We hope
now there will be no obstacle in way Of the
speedy completion of this great work. 1t
will be necessary, perhaps, TO make some
triAing alterations of the law of last winter
but we anticipate ito difficulty on that score
The Legislature must see and know the ad
vantages the State will derive from the work
when finished, and the liberality and prompt
ness of the bondholders in acc epting The con
tract, will without doubt induce the Legis
laiure to meet our creditors in spirit o
fairness, and make such amendments as viii
secure the end aimed at. Early Legislation
upon this subject and its final arrangement
will greatly relieve the public mind.

0FJAMEs FIELDS, who was arrested and
confined in the Crawford County Jail in this
State for the murder of bis mother in June
last, was tried last week at the Crawford Cir
cult Court, and was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be hung on
the 18th of December next We learn that
il was most fendish and unnatural murder.
Fields had repeatedly declared, previous 10
committing the act, that he would no longer
support his mother, and that he knew no
other way to lid himself of The burthen but TO
kill her. On the day he committed the act
he went into The house and ordered his moth
er to prepare his dinner, telling her at the
same time that after she had done so he in
tended 10 murder her. While she was in
the act of STOPPING down TO light the fire, he
pulled out pistol and shot her, the ball hit
ting her hip bone and ranging downwards
shattering The bones of leg most awfully.--
He fled TO a neighbours house and procured
some whiskey and after getting beastly drunk
returned home and went TO sleep in an adjon
ing room TO the one which his mother was
The old woman was found by some of tbs
neighbors iwenty-lour hours afterwards, bloc
dy and nearly speechless. She died shortly
afterwards.
This is probably the FIRST trial fer murde
in the State since the passage of the law lea
wing it discretionary with the jury to sal
whether the prisoner Gf found guilty. SHOULD
be hung or confined in The State prison a
hard labor for life.

But they will lose in Maryland, Virginia,

The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce:
ave lean that the President is about TO
call out large additional volunteer force.
He will take them chiefly from the South, as
the Southern troops will be best adapted to
The climate. This accords with the statement
made some time ago by General Pierce M.
Butler, of South Carolina, viz: that if The
war continued large force would be drawn
from the South. A leIIer of the 7th Octo-
Der, The latest date from Monterey, mentions
rumor, which is doubtless well-founded.

of the Rio Grande posts, and that The lat

MEXICO.

There seems TO be very little prospect of
a speedy termina ton of The war with Mexi-
CO, if we may judge from the numerous
proclamations put forth by the various func-
tionaries of that distracted country. In
manifesto of Gen, Almonte, dated at the CT
ty of Mexico on the the 30th of September
after notifying the public that Monterey had
succumbed, he proceeds 10 encourage the
people, and advises them to follow the ex-
ample given by their forefathers, the Span
iards, during their war with Napoleon. The
entire style of the President, and interim, is
quite far from giving any hopes of entering
into amicable negotiations with the United
States. On the contrary, he says that should
il be the design of the enemy to overun the
whole Republic, Mexicans, before ceasing
to oppose their progress, would prefer to be
demolished in the ruins of their country
not one stone Of which they would suffer to
remain on another, TO give shelter TO the ene-
my; and he goes on 10 state, that "tbe irwin
chile General who has been called TO place
himself at the head of the army is decided
not to outline the dishonor of the nation"
Gen. Ampuda, in his official account of
the battles of Monterey, says that he was
compelled to capitulate on accouD; of being
too short of provisions and ammunition. An
officer, writing to El Indicator, says that
the ammunition and provisions they had on the
23d, would have scarcely lasted twenty-four
hours longer. That they were 1000 in mum
Der on leaving Monterey, and only left in II
and delivered over TO the enemy 200 rounds
OF cartridges and six useless pieces of artil-
lery.-This writer says that the Americans
acknowledged loss of 1900 men, but they
considered it to be very near $500 men.
Midshipman Barrett has arrived at New
Orleans from the fleet in the Gulf, and re-
ports the capture, by the Steamship Mssis
sippi, Commodore Perry, of the Mexican
schooner Telegraph off Tabasco. He say:

twelve they sent for Gen. Taylor. After ex
bausiing his patience with diplomacy, ant
Ampudia bad declared he was no way strait
