At large and respectable meeting of the cit
liens Of the town of Chesterfield, on the eyenin,
OF The 18th inst, TO take into consideration th,
alarming character Of the late FIRE, which con
sumed the buildings of Asa Marsh, Esq, the sun
OF $500 was promptly subscribed by responsible,
individuals, and will soon be offered as a reward
to any person who win apprehend and bring I,
punishment the villain or villains.
The meeting was organized by choosing Mo
SIS DUDLEY, Chairman, and L. r. PIERCE
Secretary.
On motion, committee of three, consisting Of
William l.. Dudley, l.. r. Pierce, and Rev. John
Joy Putnam, were chosen TO report resolution:
for the consideration of the meeting.
This committee reported the following, which
were read and adopted;
Resoiued, That the frequent fires that have oc-
CURED IN and about this village, within the last few
years with bat single exception, must have been
caused by an incendiary.
Resolved, That the fire which consumed the
buildings Of Asa Marsh, ESQ., on the morning OF
the 9Th inst was clearly, and beyond all doubt the
work OF an incendiary-and that we have reason TO
believe he sent there 10 burn the AT resaid prop
erty to the danger Of other buildings, by one who
has beea suspecied Of applying the ncendarys touch
10 buildings in this town in days g,Ine by.
Resoiued, That the loss Of property and anxiety
Of mind that have already been suffered by our cit
liens, account Of proceedings which we are here
met 10 condemn, and the danger that now threatens
the most quiet and peaceable Of orr inhabitants,
should cause immediate and vigorous measures to
be taken for the detection and punishment of the of
fender or offenders, who reveal in their works the
foul purposes of their hearts.
Resoucd, That in order to move effeciualiy, there
must be union Of effort with determination to
pursue with untiring energy this midnight incendi-
ary and that we will not reinquish our labor till
we have some guarantee of safety, for ourselves
aud our homes
Resolved, That we ask the friendly aid and CO.
operation of citizens in adjacent towns, in carrying
out plans that have for their end the future security
of life and properly in this community, and the de-
lection and legal trial Of the villain or villains that
have left so many marks OF their awful depravity
and Unsuitable revange in our midst
Voted, That the proceedings Of this meeting
be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and
published in the Kcene and Brattleboro papers

Lecoroco State Convention.

The "dough-faces" trumphcd, as VIC expect
ed, at the Locofoco State Convention held on
Tuesday of last week Cass and Slavery we're
approved, but not without strong and manly op-
position on the part of the friends Of Free Soil.
Stephen $. Brown, Of ST. Adams, +. d. Barber,
of Middlebury, Lucius +. Chittenden, of Bur
lington, and S. II. Price, of Windsor, took bold
and decided ground for Free Soil while Judges
Villas Of Chelsea, Cobb of Stratford and Noycs
of MorIistown. were conspicuous in support Of
the Slavery candidate.
Hon Paul Dillingham; made up some wry ia
ecs but finally swallowed Cass, and received the
nomination for Governor. Charles X. Field, Of
Newfane, was nominated for Lieut.. Governor
and John T. Marston, Of Montpelier for Treas
urer.
1t is impossible to conceive Of body Of men
more completely stultifed than tue supporters
Of Cass in this State. Cas-, in his Nicholson
letter, expressly declares that he finds in the
Constitution, no authority for Congress to inki6a
Slarery in he Territories; and, rs he takes an
oath, if elected, to support the Constitution, he
must veto any law Of Congress excluding Slave
ry from the Territories, or commit perjury
The Locoioco State Convention Of las; year
declared by resolution, that the party in this
State could not support any candidate for the
Presidency who was opposed to the principle Of
Wilmot Proviso-and to make their qualification
more complete, Mr. Barber one of the Free Soil
champions at the present Convention, forced

GIN. TAYLoRs llUMANITY.-Aftert the bat
tie of Bucna VISTA Gen. Taylor made his dispo-
sitons for the renewal of the conflict on the fol-
lowing morning. But at the dawn Of the next
day, Santa Anna was in full retreat The
American Cavalry were despatched in pursuit.
Soon messengers returned informing the GEN
eral that the Mexicans, broken and scattered,
were in rapid flight, but that the roads and the
waysi,les were strewn with exhausted, fanished
and wounded soldiers, all of whom, in the pre-.
cipitation Of Santa Annals flight, were lcf to
die without either food, water, or medical at
tendants. Upon receiving this information,
Gen. Taylor Immediately ordered twenty wag-
ons TO be furnished with all that was required
for the relief Of those whom the Mexican Cen
eral had left TO suffer and die. These wagons
were promptly despatched, accompanied by
Surgeons who were directed to find aud admin
ster TO all the sufferers. And TO the Quarter
Master who executed this order, General Taylor
said -"keep an exact account of every article
sent, so that il any doubt should arise of the
proprieiy Of thus relieving the encmy's wound
cd, can pay for them myself"

GEN. TAYLOR AND GEN. HARRIsoN.-In a
casual conversation the other day with gentle
man who served with Old Rough and Ready in
the Florida war, he related the following, which
TRANSFERRED in 1870, during the Harrison cam

On the arrival of the Northern mails, the off,
GERS were in the habit of meeting at Gen. Tsy-
lor's marquee, to discuss the news The Gener-
al, being Wing, took the National Intelligencer,
and Major Garland, Locofoco, the Washington
Globe. On one Of these occasions, Gen. Taylor
found in the lnieligencer an account of one of
the Mammoth Conventions held in honor of Old
TIP, and he remarked, This, gentlemen, is what
] like to see" "But," responded the Major,
General Harrison is Northern man, and an
abolitionist| mo matter" replied the Gener-
al, "he is IN honest man, and unaccusiomed to
the wiles and intrigues of partisans. The great
mass of the people-the honest and intelligent

GEN. TAYLoR's DEsPATcnEs.-A Many have
supposed that the letters and dispatches Of Gen.
Taylor were not written by himself, but Hnoth-
err major Bliss). he doubt arises from their
excellence OF style and sentiment also
Not forgetting that Gen. Gibson had said that
on sereHteen different Court Mariials at which
he and Gen. Taylor met, the latter was invaria-
bly, selected by the other members TO draw up
their report, our object mainly is to relate what
has been stated to have been the substance Of a
conversation on this subject between Major Bliss
and another highly respectable gentleman in the
western part OF this State. 1t was this
"Well, Major Bliss, they say the General
(Taylor) don't write his own letters, but that
you do it for him."
Major B.-"I suppose know as much about
that as any other man, and all can say is tina;
every despatch during the campaign has been
written by the General himscli-the most have
ever vcntured to do was to dot an i or cross a &
and should like to see the man that would dare
TO do morc."--Sdiem Gazette.

SPEECH OF GEN. TAYLoR.--A very inter
esting ceremony took place in New Orleans, on
the Sd inst, being the formal presentation Of an
elegant gold medal, which was voted to General
TAYLOR by the Louisiana Legislature, in honor
of bis victory at Buena Vista The Generate
reply was couched in the following appropriate
and beautiful language;
GrNrLEMEN--l receive the beautiful pift of
Louisiana, which you offer me in her name, with
sentiments of profound gratitude and love.
1t was her pleasure to have voted me on a
former occasion magnificent sword, in n man
ner most flattcring to a soldiers feelings. was,
gentlemen, even then overpad by that memorial
of her kindness, and felt how much owed to
my position in the army for honors which per-
hapss more properly should go to the Untitled
soldier
But that rich gin was not enough for Louis-
ana; and she comes again to shower honor upon
honors, already too thickly poured on an unde-
serving citizen And here, for the victory won
by my brave soldiers at Buena Vista, she gives
me this enduring memorial of her affection and
her kindness
II is true there were high and gallant deeds
done on the heights of Bucna Vista, and noble
and precious blood drenched the parched earth
aud stained for many long step its craggy Dor
ders but, gentlemen, of the glory won then
have never claimed more than soldiers share.
The honor TO lead in the fight was high one,
and that ialtercd not in this duty in this watch
ful and responsible place, was enough to satisfy
my ambition. Duty was the star OF my attrac.
ton, and to do il would bring ut all times all
my strength to PROSTATE opposing barriers. In
performing this duty small portion OF glory has
fallen on the army under my command then
let il rest not on me. Other men, with an equal
heart and purpose, doubtless could have done as
well as !. My comrades in many battles since,
have testified to this by their skill and courage,
and they, like myself know full well how much
is due to the subaltern and to the rank and file.
Gentlemen, feel some pleasure in knowing
TINT compliments like these, paid to the com
manding officer, in spirit il not in terms, always
include his brave soldcry; and think err
not when / vouch for their satisfaction for all
peris when their country votes them its public
thanks.
To Louisiana, then, return my most grateful
obligations, and ! pray you, gentlemen, bear
them to her citizens, as a feeble acknowledgment
of large debt owe this noble State"
The n. o. Delta thus speaks OF the delivery
Of the above by General Taylor:
"Our readers arc aware that the General has
a siammering or impeachment of his speech,
which, though not much pcrceptbe in ordinary
conversation, is serious difficulty in the utter.
ancc Of connected speech Of any length. But
by considerable practice the old General has
greatly improved his oraiorical powers, and his
address yesterday would have done honor, in
matter and style, to practiced speaker"

TAYLOR UPON CAss.-The Worcester True
Wing "a new daily paper just started to advo-
cate the cause Of Old Rough and Ready" since
the Spy has deiaulted) gives the following anec-
dote, which sounds like truth
Soon after Cas- was made Secretary of War,
Scott meeting Taylor, said to him, An Taylor
"a good appointment that We have Secre-
tary now who understands our wants Taylor
has two veins in bis forehead that, when he is
excited, swell out as large as child's finger
These veins began to enlarge. don't know
that, General said he; but he knows his orn
wants. When he was Governor of Michigan
Territory, he ordered me to send him twelve of
my best looking and tallest soldiers, and don't
you think, the rascal kept six of 'em to row his
boat for two years, and they were paid by the
Government as my men"

OREGON Commonwealth Senate, as our
readers are aware, has been discussing, for a
long time, the question of retaining the free ter
ritory principle in the bill TO establish terrific
rial government in Oregon. Mr. Bright of Ind.
moved the Missouri Compromise us an amend
ment to the bill. On Wednesday last, Mr.
Clayton of Delaware moved that the bill and
amendments be referred to select committee
of eight, to be composed of four from the slave
States and four from the free States, and TO be
equally divided as to party politics, to report
what compromise, if any, can be adopted. At
ter long debate this motion was adopted Yeas
81, Nays IA. All the northern Senators pres
ent, save Dickinson of N. Y, voted nay
Agreeably to this resolution, the following gem
tlemen were elected to constitute the committee.
On the part of the slave States :-John NJ Clay
Ton, of Del, chairman Of the committee, John
G. Calhoun, S. c., Joseph r. Underwood KY,
and David A. Atchison, Mo- On the part of
the free States Samuel s. Phelps, Vt, Jesse
ID. Bright, Ind, Daniel S. Dickinson, N. y and
John H. Clark, r. ]. The names of the wings
are printed in Italics Mr. Clayton is virtually
a free State man, for he holds no slaves, and has
shown his attachment TO emancipation by liber-
ating the slaves inherited from his father; but
Mr. Bright, of Ind, it is said, holds slaves in
Kentucky by virtue of his wife This commit
tee will probably report compromise that the
Senate will adopt, but whether the House will
sanction any compromise is a matter OF doubt.

GENERAL CAvAIGSAc.--Some Of the croak-
ers appear to derive comfort from calling him
"sole Dictator Of France" That is not the title
given him by the National Assembly. They,
exercising the prerogati,es of the sovereign
people. appointed him President of the Coun-
cil,"-the usual title Of the head of the French
Ministry,-with power to form Ministry ac-
cortling to his own judgment. This is no more
than is customarily done by the sovereign, when
summoning an individual to the Presidency OF
the Council. 1t is true Cavaignac has other
powers, temporarily, but II is only while Paris
remains in a state of seige. He did not seek
ihsm but they were urged upon him. He ten
ded his resignation, after the suppression Of the
insurrection, but it was not accepted. The char.
actcr of Cavaignac is guarantee against any
ambitious project. He is modest, unassumng
man--more ike General Taylor in temperament
than perhaps any other man in France. A gen.
tleman who has seen and conversed with him
tells US that he is remarkable for his republican
simplicity, cool and selfpossessed under all cir
cumstanees, Of easy manners and address ra,h
or light built, with tinge of melancholy on his
countenance, that he has the confidence of al
who know him. and that il he cannot be trusted
no other man in France can be.

Tricks rrox THE Prortr-A

TRICKS UPoN THE ProPLE.-- A recent de-
bate in the L. S. Senate has brought 10 light a
characteristic device Of Loooioooism, Two pam.
phlets, containing the pretended Biography Of
Mr. Cas-, have been issued from the Giols Office
at Washington-boih alike, except that the one
for circulation at tic South contains an extract
from the Nicholson letter denying the constitu-
tional power of Congress to inhibit slavery in
the Territories while the other contains IN apol-
ogy for his vote against the Proviso. 1t is re-
petition of the Kane letter deception of Polk,
and shows the game by which Cass is TO be sup
ported. With double set of principles, one
for the North and ont for the South, the people
are, If possible, to lie duped. We admit Mr. Cass
has two sets of principles on every political qncs-
ton; but they ought to be in the same pamphlet.
Our readers were doubtless amused with the de-
bate, Of which VIC gave an abstract last week.
