gentlemen, we know something about

This sapient correspondent says the
Estate cannot pay the July interest on the
State debt owing TO the extravaganza OF
the last legislature. We admit there was
some extravaganza in the appropriations.
and if the Iocos had been permitted 10
carry on, all their propositions, they would
have given Gen. Lane and other officers
swords enough. the cost Of which might
have prevented the payment Of State in

ted +. Il swing at the Treasury scarce dime
would have been left to tell the tale Of
bankruptcy. Blu, the inability ofthe State
TO pay her interest does not arise from the
extravaganza of the legislature. We are
informed that many OF the county 'rcasu
rers have paid into the State Treasury al
most the entire amount of the State tax
collected in their respective counties in
State scrip, instead Of par funds, they
received most of II. On their settlement
they are required to swear or affirm that
the money paid into the State Treasury
is the same funds received from the people.
Notwithstanding this oath. they have pur-
chased scrip at discount aud paid il in
to the Treasury. This too has been done
from counties who were most clamorous
for the Butler bill. and the payment OF the
interest Of the State debt under its pre-
visions. In this county, where the people
have no interest in the payment of the
State debt. but the honor and fair fame
of the State, we learn on inquiry, that our
Treasurer paid 5lI,G00 in par funds, and
only s934,l5 in scrip. Had other Treas

been 50 great deficiency in the Treasu-

The Rochester Convention,

This convention far exceeded our anticipations in
every respect. The number in attendance was unu-
sually large, filling the spacious Westinghouse to over
flowing through its entire session, and representing
ten counties. Especially were we g%ratifed in meeting
a host Of the pioneers in ON cause-those who have
for years labored and toiled and sacrificed to give sue
cess to the pure principles and aims of our ~organiza-
ton. We could not but be deeply impressed with
the belief that these menare now doubly compensated,
in the wide spread and ~resistless progress of free prin-
ciples, for the contumely and reproach with which
they have so long been visited. The time will vet
come-and that at no distant day--when those who
have manfully breasted Me current of political, moral
and social despotism, which was rapidly undermining
the foundations of our cherished institutions, and
f%earfully hurrying us on to the untimely fate of every
republic that has lived in the past, shall have melted
out to them the inst reward of their labors.
A series of able resolutions were brought before
the convention, thoroughly discussed, and unanimous
ly adopted. An unusual amount of business was
transacted and yet, notwithstanding the excitement
and enthusiasm always more or less attendant upon
the discussion of exciting topics in so large and pro-
tracted a convention, all was managed with the utmost
discretion, harmony, and continually increasing inter
est,by the venerable and experienced President of the
Convention-Doct ]. w. HALE, ofBrandon. The dis
cusslons were mainly conducted by speakers from
our own State, being apparently drawn forth by a
thorough knowledge Of the condition and wants of
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1848-03-09
GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN.

the cause in our own midst, and were happily adap-
ted to that end. The discussions of the convention
increased in interest until the last moment; and when,
at half past 10 o'clock, on Thursday evening, after
seven distinct sessions, the president called for the
singing OF the Doxology to the tune of Old Hundred,
and a prayer by the venerable TITUS HUTCHINSON,
there appeared to be a general mingling of hearts,
and new conservation to the great and heaven-inspired
work before us, such as it has seldom fallen to our
lot to witness.
One thing was s~trikingly apparent during the Con-
%vention; whenever allusion was made, either in the
resolutions, speeches or songs, to the d~auntless and
manly bearing of the Hon. john P. HALE, the &C
knowledged and accomplished standard bearer in the
gathering host of Freedom,all hearts seemed kindled
with a united and enthusiastic desire to do honor to the
man who had thus thrown himself in the breach,lor the
redemption of the slave, and the salvation of our own
liberties. Nor is this admiration by any means confn-
ed to the Liberty Party;all parties and sects of people
in Vermont honor the name and deeds of John P.
Hale-and they lciN honor him so long as his public
career shall reflect such signal honor upon himself and
the righteous cause of his %espousal.
The convention was entertained at frequent inter
walls with delightful songs from the choir, composed
in part of Rochester singers, together with a company
of enchanting liberty songsters from the town Of
Weybridge-among whom, if we ~recollect Alright,
were the names of Twitchell and Stow. The inter
est of the convention was greatly enhanced by the
services of the choir.
We should fail to do justice to the universal senti-
ment Of the convention, did we not allude to the gen
erous hospitality of the people of Rochester IRE
spective of party or sect, their doors were thrown oper
and the members of the convention were welcomed
to the abundance of the festive board, and the warn
entertainments of the social circle. The ~liberality
and large-heartedness of this people had before beer
tested but the renewed and increased hospitalitie'
manifested toward the present convention, have placed
us under new and ever-to-be cherished obligations t.
the good people of Rochester.
