Windsor County Liberty Meetings.

Never was it more important than it now is, that
the friends OF our country and the friends OF humanity,
and all who desire to govern themselves according to
the principles of our holy religion, should consult to-
geher and become informed in regard to all existing
facts winch bear upon the interests of country and
the interests OF humanity and call for the full exercise
OF all holy patriotic, benevolent principles. And in
order to further this object with the utmost practical
Bile convenience, we, the Central Committee for said
County, hereby appoint five conventions in said county
on i've successive days. to commence at ten o'clock on
each day The first convention to be held at Gays
VILE IN Stockbridge, on Monday the twenty-6rst day
OF June next The second to be at Shows vile, IN
Pomiret, on Tuesday, the 22d day Of said June The
third, at FechyIle in reading, on Wednesday, the ODD
day OF SAID June; the fourth at Chester on Thurs
day. the gath; and the fifth central convention, to
nominate candidates for county senators at Wood
stock, at the Methodist chapel by the Temperance
House, on Friday the 2jh day of said June. We
have no encouragement as had hoped to expect to
be favored with the interesting addresses of Henry
Bbb, or some other speaker from another statc but
we do expect to be favored, at each place, with the
presence Of the Hon. Jacob Scott of Barre, Joseph
Poland Of Montpelier, and the Rev. Aaron Anger of
Ludlow, who will address such facts and motives as
should engage the attention Of every freeman and lead
to united action in the restoration and support of the
downtrodden principles of constitutional liberty 1t is
hoped that delegates from every town in the county
will attend the central convention 1t is also hoped
that the eemen who attend each of the four local con
yentons will agree and report to the central conven-
ton some person whom they would approve as one of
the four candidates for county senators.

FRoN Mexico. A magnetic despatch to the Bee,
Yesterday, has the following:
An arrival at New Orleans from Vera Cruz brings
dates from that city to the 18th of May. Commodore
Perry had captured host of little towns on the coast
and was about to attack La Basco, where the enemy
were 5000 strong. Advices from the city of Mexico
to the 10Th of May have been reserved. Santa Anna
had given up the command Of the army, for the pur-
pose Of assuming the duties of President and was to
enter the capital on the 18th There had been further
changes in the Cabinet Nothing later had been re-
celved direct from Gen. Scott
The citizens Of the city of Mexico seem careless
about Notifications Gen Valencia had departed from
the capital at the head of 5000 of the National Guards
to unite with Santa Annals forces
The vomito had made its appearance at Vera Cruz.
A letter dated Monterey, May 18th SAY $ that it was
the intention of Gen Taylor to start for San Luis
Poosi on the LIST of June. A duel between two
Lieuenants, both from Virginia, mad taken place at
China, on the Rio Grande The weapons used
were nuskets, loaded with buckshot. Both were
killed.
The Pacific Squadron.-Tho New Orleans Pcay-
une says that the 2Sth of April the American squad
ron, consisting of six or eight vessels were off Mozat-
Ian, and that thousand men were to disembark and
take the town. The citizens of Mazltan were ma
king preparations to defend the town. The sqadron
also intended to capture San Bias,

The Oregon Rairoad.-We are informed that Dr.
II. Carver of Pttsord an old residentof this county,
has gone to Washington to procure charter to build
the Oregon railroad by individual enterprise. DR.. Car

of the enterprise. This claim supported by mass
testimony that is quite convincing to those who have
examined it, 1t appears that he wrote and published
articles concerning the project long before it was
preached by Mr. Whitney or any other person. He is
confident that it can be built by individual enter

DESPERATE FELLOws.-A few mornings since our
quiet village was thrown into quite an excitement by
the intelligence that gang of runaways was held at
bay few miles off, who bid defiance to their pursuers
and refused to be taken alive. company of some 20
or 30 men, all "eager for the fray" at once FASTENED
to the scene Of operations, where they found three de-
spcradoes, defeated and disarmed few young men
had pursued them short distance with dogs, when
they took stand and prepared to give them battle
They were armed with scythebades and on being APP
preached, they braEdshcd their weapons, and swore
they would not surrender. They were fired upon re-
peatedy, without effect and as often would they rush
upon their pursuers and force them to give back not
wlthstandmg their advantage in arms and ammunition
Nor did they suffer themselves to be taken until their
leader was completely disabled and another of the
number severely, and the third slightly Wounded
The captain truly was desperate fellow. 70 the
last he was unsubdued; and although lying helpless
on the ground, with one arm shattered two shots in
his head and several in different parts of his body he
still urged his comrades not to surrender The
cry Of this fellow is doubtful, The others were not
dangerously wounded.
The aliir occurred among us last week, and al
though it may be regarded as most unparalleled out
rage on the part ofhe negroes concerned yet we hear
nothing said about prosecuting the offenders. We
have no desire to the owners of these slaves put in
position where they may be compelled to give up
their property. But we do think that the good of so
cety and due regard for the laws of the land re.
quire that such cases should be brought before r-
bunal of Justice. These not merely runaway ne
groes and as such answerabe to their masters only;
but they were public offenders, outlaws bearing
bloody weapons for unlawful purpose, and absolutely
using them with intent to kill If this case does not
demand legal investigation, we do not know where
we shall ever find one that does 1t touches is true,
