Personal Our attention has been called by
various friends to certain articles in the Yer
mont Patriot, published recently, which are de-
scribed as being among the worst specimens oil
the VIGOROUSLY bad style and temper Of that
concern. Now, for the information of all who
may be at all anxious to know why we do NOT
notice this stuff, we say publicly, as VIC have
said privately to some of our friends, that hav-
ing been satisfied that in any personal contro-
versy with the VemonSP atriot, while under its
present managers. we can expect neither candor,
justice, dignity, nor common decency, we have
for some time pertinaciously avoided any cor
troversy of personal kind with that paper, and
we mean to continue SO to do. As we won't re-
ply to such stuff, it is unnecessary 10 read it,
Therefore we have not read single one of the
articles to which our attention has been called,
and we shall not read them, nor any thing like
them, having altogether better reading in hand,
and quite as much of it as can be attended to.

washington County Convention.

LII true friends of Temperance and the TEMPERANCE
IA requested the Court House in

the Of honofns the day by ectug list of
didafes be voted fJr the first Tuesday Of September
for the several Offices which the frcemcn have
that day, This is the request Of
therefore this call to all Temperance without regard
to party politics
Montpelier, June D, 1850.
We cheerfully couply with request to pub
lish the above, though our opinion is that it
ought not TO have treated the matter of temper
ance tIokel as a foregone conclusion, but rather
ins tied temperance men to meet and discuss the
question. The friends of temperance have pIei-
ty generally repudated the idea Of political ac-
lion heretofore, and II is not too much to presume
that many will do it now. There are some coun-
ty officers whose duties have direct bearing
upon the subject OF intemperance-the assist
ant judges and the states aitorney,-and it is
well for the friends not only of temperance, but
Of law and order generally, TO have an eye to
these. for the purpose of electing men ,cho ,oM
faithfully and honestly ereeuie the ia,cs Of the
Slate. 1t strikes US that that should be required
OF all candidates, land if required, VIC see no
or propriety for distinct ticket.

Bank. They designed TO do it rather openly

and put the cashier into the vault and lock him

Page escaped an assault because two gentlemen
happened to be in the Bank at the time. Still
another is, that Mr. Howes of the old Bank was
the polite gentleman.

WING COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Wings of Orleans County are invited to
meet in County Convention, on Saturday, the
18th day Of July. at Irasburgh, for the purpose
of nominating candidates for County Senator,
two Assistant Justices of the County Court,
Judge of Probate, High Bailiff, Sheriff. and
States Attorney, and for the transaction of any
other business which may then be deemed me-
cessary.
In consequence of the action of the late Con-
stitutional Convention, the importance of full
attendance of the various towns, by their proper
delegations, cannot be too highly estimated. Do
not fail to attend. If well organized, and that
in season, we are sure Of success in the coming
election. We cannot anticipate defeat; but if
it be possible, it will only be on account of our
negligence 10 taking early steps to secure har-
mony and concert of action. M
To secure a representation which shall give
an equal voice to all sections of the county, and
yet not consist Of an inconvenient number Of
delegates, the committee have thought it advi-
sable TO fix the number of the several towns as
follows :-one from each town, and one for eve
ry 25 Wing votes cast at the last election, which
gives for Albany 2, Barton 5, Bloomington 3,
Charleston S, Coventry 5. Craftsbury S, Derby
2, Glover 4, Greensboro 2, Holland 3, Iasburgh

To Delinquent Subscribers---Ex'
tension of time.

We are gratifed to find that so many of our
old friends, who had been delinquent, have res
pended to our call and made settlements. There
are many others yet remaining. whom we are
anxious to retain as real friends-to meet
us with an open brow, warm heart and an hon
est hand, -as every man can, who holds re-
cept In full for old scores and for advanced pay
ment for the year to come. Such is the happy
lot we heartily wish to every one of our delin-
quent subscribers; and we therefore give notice
that ALL who wish to pay up, and save us the dis
agreeable necessity of stopping their paper and
handing over their accounts to the lawyer, shall
have the time extended until the 4TH DAY OF
JULY NEXT. Come come! friends; let US be
really free and Independent" on the next glo
rious fourth.

TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO

GOLD TACK" RIGHT AGAIN.
The admirable prudence and sagacity of the
President is again evinced by the following mes
sage, sent to the Senate on the 18th inst. When
the locos once catch the old man in the wrong,
we hope they will let the people know it.
WASHINGTON, June 18th, 1850.
To the Senate Of the United iSiates:
have received q copy of the resolutions of
the Senate of the 18th June instant, requesting
me to inform the Senate whether any orders
have been issued to any military officer or off
GERS at Santa Fe, to hold possession against the
authority of Texas, or in any way to embarrass
or prevent the exercise of her jurisdiction over
that country-and to furnish the Senate with CO.
pies of any correspondence which may have ia
ken place between the War Department and the
military stationed at Santa Fe, since the date Of
nv last commune alton to the Senate on that
subject"
In reply to that resolution, state that no such
orders have been given. herewith present to
the Senate copies of all the correspondence re-
ferred 10 in the resolution. All the other orders
relating to the subject matter of the resolution
have been heretofore communicated to the Sen
ate.
have already, in former MESA re, referred
to the fact that the boundary between Texas and
New Mexico is disputed. have now to state
that information has been recently received, that
a certain Robert S. Neighbours, styling himself
Commissioner of the State of Texas, has pro-
ceeded to Santa Fe with view of organizing
counties in that district under the authority of
Texas. While have no power 10 decide the
question of boundary, and no desire 10 interfere
with it as question OF title, have TO observe
that the possession of the territory into which it
appears that Mr.. Neighbours has thus gone, was
actually acquired by the United States from
Mexico, and has since been held by the United
Ststes, and in my opinion ought SO to remain
until the question Of boundary shall have been
determined by some competent authority. Mean
while, think there is no reason for seriously
experimenting that Texas will practically inter-
fere with the possession Of the United States.
Z. TAYLOR.
This "a Mr.. Neighbors" has gone back 10
Texas with flea in his ear, and the people Of
New Mexico are talking of forming state-a
free STATE, we trust-and now the opponents Of
the administration in the House are trying to
make a fuss about that No use trying, gentle
men.

The Rouse Point and Caughna.
waga Railroad.

We cut from The Montreal Courier of June
10th, 1850, the following paragraphs on railway
matters, which will be read with interest, as they
indicate the prevailing sentiment on railroads
il the late capital of the Canadas.
"Rouse's Point was sagaciously chosen by the
Ogdensburgh & Northern Railroad, and the
Caughnawaga Company must admire the Judi
ciousness OF the selection, for at Rouse's Point
Railway bridge can be thrown over Lake
Champlain, and up 10 Rouse's Point the navga-
ton is interrupted by those morning foes which
so constantly bar the progress of the Lake boats,
and delay the traveller. The deputation which
recently visited Plattsburgh to confer with A.
merican capitalists upon The best route to be a.
dopted, have returned, impressed with the opin-
ion that to Rouse's Point Railway must be d.
rected, if it be intended to bridge Lake CHAM
plain.
Give US the means of rapid communication
with the United States-give US route which
we can travel at all seasons-seems the prevail
ing demand of our people, and they are respon-
dedto by the men of the Republic. We have
our Portland and Atlantic Railway line approch-
ipgcompletion; we have our st. Johns and La
parairie, with It's projected extension. These do
not satisfy the craving appetite of the public
they ask a line from Caughnawaga to Rouse's
Point, which at one end would Join the Vermont
and Canada Railroad, and at the other the La
chine line; the distance to be constructed is but
30 miles. and this, when completed, would give,
at all seasons, railroad communication between
Montreal and Charleston, South Carolina. The
motives which prompt this undertaking, and the
interests enlisted in Its vor, pre-supp,se it's re-
alization."

WOOL.

Here is another wool article, talking up even
stronger than the Cultivation We shall be glad
to see the highes! hopes of the wool-grower re-

luli operation, thirty million pounds of wool.

atter dedocting the amount received through the
canals for home consumption. But to this is to
be added about four millions Of foreign wool.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey consume about
ten millions more, and the consumption in all

1t would require them for the CONSUMPTION Of the

There can be no doubt ss to the fact. that
there " now no surplus stock of wool in this
country, indeed there is none in the whole world.
Every thing has been worked up in this country.
IN England, Germany, and France. The wool
has all been drawn out from South America.

The demand has outs.ripped the production, not
only IN this but in all countries, and it will be
yet many years, before they will be equal, or
that there will be surplus.
