IMPORTANT FROM WASH
INGTON.

Through the politeness of friend, we have
been furnished with the Express, containing the
proceedings of the whig caucus at Washington,
for the nomination of Speaker. As soon as the
meeting was organized, Mr.. Toombs Of Geor-
giu, introduced the following test resolution.
Resolved, That Congress ought not to pass any
law prohibiting slavery in the territories of Cal
itornla or New Mexico, nor any law abolishng
slavery in tho District <f Csl.,r.ah,A-u
This resolution, it seems fom the account,
created tremendous excitement 1t was urged
by southern wings with pertinucity, as the only
means by which the rights of the south could be
secured, and the Union preserved. The better
judgment of northern men prevailed. and a mo-
ton to postpone, prevailed. When this vote was
announced, Mr.. Toombs and four others left the
caucus. The session has commenced stormy,
and that party at the north, which comes out OF
1t with hands unsoied by slavery, We think will
be saved from the charge of inconsistency, at
least.
We have passing remark 10 make upon nor
.hern Democrats voting for Howell Cobb, and
another tor free soil members for Withholding
their votes, which we reserve for our next.

The people have just delegated to Conven-
tion,-the very important trust Of considering
and settling, for long term of years. perhaps
for all time.-the organic law Of the State. And
there will soon be pending before this conven-
ton, matters affecting not only the important and
vital interests, but also the natural and inherent
rights of the people.
And prominent-perhap paramount
these may be considered the rights of the people,
in the several Counties, to elect their own off
GERS.
Amendments, involving this right, have, there
fore, by the Council been recommended, and re,
jected by the Convention; but they have ever
been rejected upon the ground that the long and
almost immemorial usage of electing to Office
such men, and such only, in the several counties,
as were approved and recommended by the rep.
resenatives Of the people of these counties, that
it might be deemed the practical construction Of
the present Constitutional long and uniformly
acquiesced in by all parties, and in all cmergen-
cies-that the people had come to regard it, as
an essential and vital part of the unwritten or.
ganic law of the State; and that no party, how
ever reckless or base, would ever have the i'm
pudence or courage TO overthrow or invade it
Yet that contingency, 30 remote that nobody
thought of it,-that danger so shackled that no
body feared it, has suddenly emerged in the
shape of monster, SO odous to the people, that
they are prepared, IF we may judge tromth
character of the deegates,) to bind him and siak
him out Of sight.
The late JOINT assembly have seen fit to quar-
ter upon several counties, and saddle upon the
backs of the people, a set of officers, not only
without the appreciation, but against the protest
of the representatives of the people, of such
counties and in defiance of the overwhelming
vote of the people. If this might be regarded
as the effervesceHce Of party maiignity--ss an
act done in momentlry proxism, which would
be likely to be repented Of, and repadated, up
on reflection; we should feel justified in recon-
mending to the people, to overlook the past and
confide in the future but we have no such guar
anty, but on the contrary we have tho most pie
merry evidence, that the Taylorites in the late
Legislature, not only deliberately conceived and
perpetrated that act of prescription and tyranny,
but they did fully commit themselves to the prin-
cipic, and did openly maintain the right of one
county or one set of counties to dictate the men
who should rule over another, without its con-
seDt--the right of the people of Rutland to foist
upon the people ofWOshing'on, quota of foreign
troops, clothe them with authority over the PEG.

and conveyed to Boston Jail. After reaching
all, however, he was taken to tho medical col
lege, (which, though connected with Cambridge
college is located in Boston,, and shown the
mutated remains which had been discovered in
MS rooms !; when the agitation he had exhibited
from the first increased to degree bordering on
commissions. Though earnestly besought by his
friends then present to explain these presumptive
evidences of his guilt, he could not or did not do
SO: and having afterwards waved an examine
ton, he now stands fully committed to await
the action of the grand Jury in his case in Jam
uary.
Ills friends still assert their belief either in
his entire innocence, or at the worst that he I'M
guardedly committed the deed in personal re-
conre with DR.. P. with whom it was known he
had been considerably incensed by the means
previously used by the latter to collect his debt
but the public mind generally appears to have
been seized with the deep conviction of his
guilt.
DR.. Webster is 81 years old and has filled the
post of Professor of Chemistry in Harvard Uni-
vcrslty about 20 years, having oil the while
sustained good reputation for moral character
as well as for eminent attachments in sciences.
The note and high character of the parties, in
this affair, and the cloud of mystery that envel-
opes it, under the strong circumstantal evidence
thus far brought to light, rePder it one of the
Fmoa remarkable add Startling transactions on
record. and seem well to warrant the great
agitation it has produced in the community where
it has occurred.

STARTLING TRAGEDY IN

near the close of week before last, by the sud
den and unaccounlable disappearance Of Dr..

of that CITY, A reward Sf $4,000 for his recov-
cry, and another Of Slo0a for any certain nfor
nation concerning him appeared in the papers,
and great nuEbers Of the police and others were
despatched in all directions around the country,
in search Of him. but wiiLout the least success.
In few days, howevT, attention was directed
to the rooms in the Medical College occupied
by Dr.. Webster, professor of chemistry In Har.

To the Teachers and Friends of
Common Schools in Chit
tenden County.

At meeting of the Superintendent Of Com
mon schools in Chlttenden County, held al Bur-
lington, on the 18th November, 1649, the follow
ing Text Books were recommended for adoption
in the schools the County, for the term OF four
years.
Towns Revised Series of Reading Books and
WELL's English Grammar (Speler; MITcH-
r1I,s Series of Biographies (ast edition !
GRrENLEAr's Revised series of Ariihmetics.
Ii is hoped that tea cheers and the friends of
education throughout the county, will Cooperate
with the Superintendent in laborng to secure
the introduction of those books into all our pri-
mary schools. The classification of scholars,
and the ulicious expenditure OF them on the part
of the teacher, cannot be secured, without
uniformity in text books. -.
Ii ideaIl, eva ONO staaIt maj ntude, connected
with our present system of common school edu IA
cation, that our schools are flooded with such a
variety OF books on elementary subjects. The
Superintendent, in convention assembled, have
sought to remove this evil, by recommending to
the public favor,.a series Of books for use, Sc
lected from the many,with due reference to their
excellence, as adapted to the capacities of our
cnnOvSN, and thereby suited to the want Of our
schools.
Frequently Changes are not desirable. Such
uhuOAHISNiy WOULD be ulSastrnOS hut
it is the honest conviction oc lhose wbo f S"t
deeply interested in the cause of cessation, and and
whose official relations have made them Ia,s~l;ar
with the wants of schools, that the introduction
of new series Of books, into the schools of the
county, is absolutely demanded, and that the ia
cilities now afforded for effecting such change,
ara such as to fully warrant the recommendation
ofthe Superntendents. We live in an age of
progress, and in no one thing is progress SO
marked, as In the education of the young. As
real and substantial aids in impartEg instruc-
ton, come to US from the minds of the good and
the wise, in the form Of class books, we hold it
to be the part of true wisdom to avail ourselves
of the Improvements of the past and to place in
the hands ofour children" Books that are Books, "
by which the wearisome and monotonous tasks
of the school room, shall give place to abOrs Of
delight and works Of profit.
