Mr.. Meacham's Speech.

We have read this speech with I'M
qualified approval and admiration. 1t is
eloquent, manly, and decided in its spirit
temperate, yet bold and firm in its ex-
Pression-and full of sparkling points
and passages, such as are rarely equalled
by older and more experienced members.
So Tar as our knowledge extends, il has
been read with the highest gratifi cation
by Mr.. MEAcHAm's friends, and j.
praised, without qualification, even by
his political opponents.
As every one will read the speech. we
need not point out the portions OF it that
seem to us particularly excellent. We
must, however, say that Mr.. MEAcHAM's
defence Of Vermont from the aspersions
Of Free Soil Senators and Southern Hot
spurs, is just what wanted to be done,
and could not have been better done.
Those eloquent passages can hardly be
read by Vermonter, without a thrill of
enthusiasm. His plea for California, and
for the Proviso, as well as his clear ex-
posture of the Texas swindes, both past
and prospective, are the prominent parts
of his speech-and they have been high
y appreciated elsewhere than at home,
or in the halls of Congress.
The albany Epening Journal says ::
" Mr.. MEAc HAM spoke at length in fa-
vor Of the admission of California. His
speech was an earnest and able effort in
behalf Of that State.
The Washington correspondent of the
". Y. Courier and Enquirer {" Veri-
tas ~ says:
Mr.. MEACHAM, new member from
Vermont, made his maiden effort in the
House this morning, and fully vindicated
the high reputation which preceded his
appearance in Congress" His speech
was received with marked aitention n, and
made considerable impression upon the
House. 4"

as to the necessity of which, in order to
anything like general prosperity, we think
there can be very little difference of opin-
ion among the citizens (of whatever parity
of this State.
The proposed ac,ion--the circulation Of
petitions for signatures can be undertaken
at once, in every town in this county. We
trust it will be done-and so thoroughly done
that our Representatives in Congress can
have nc shadow of doubt as to the opinions,
at least, of the great body of the people Of
VERMONT.

General Lopez landed at Cardenas, about
ninety miles from Havana. on the 10Th inst,
with about 500 men, and took possession of
the town. The garrison consisted of one
company Of about GO men, who made but a
slight resistance, were driven into a church,
and after losing three killed, surrendered
The General landed in the steamer Creole.
which left New Orleans on the 9TH inst. Sew
eral other vessels, containing in all some
1900 or 1900 men, had left New Orleans
previous TO the Creole, but where they arc
to land is not known.
The greatest excitement prevailed at IIav-
ana, amounting TO panic. The city was I'M
der martial law, and several thousand militia
had been enrolled, and arms were being de-
llvered them. The resident foreigners were
called on 10 enrol themselves
There we're 1900 troops at Matanzas, and
500 were despatched from Havana, at / o.
clock, a. NJ, of the 20th to reinforce them.
and march against Lopez.
1t was reported that the force under To-
PEI had increased TO 200O, and that he was
already half way to Matanzas.
On the 10th, news was received that
large force was collected on Womans Is.
land near Catoche, Yucatan. The Gener>
al of Marines, with several vessels and about
three hundred men started Immediately for
that point.
Just before the Ohio left, the Spanish
steamer Pizarro came in with l05 prisoners
taken from that Island. 1t was said that
they were mostly Germans and Irish. The
report was that they were to be shot that
day at ~ o'clock, or at least every tenth
man shot, and the remainder confined in the
dungeons Of Moro Castle.
The force on the Creole, with which Gen.
Lopez effected 'he landing, is only small
part Of the expedition. 1t is known that
some ten or twelve vessels have left New Or
leans and different parts of The Gulf prob
ably to land simultaneously at different points.
1t was reported that Lopez had broken up
the railroad to Cardenas in several places.
The merchants and bankers in Havana were
removing their money to the fort for safety.

Charleston, May 25.
The following was despatched from Saw

The steamer Isabel touched or here She
left Havana on the 22d inst. Gen. Lopez,
accompanied by one of his aids, took lodg-
ings a, the City Hotel. From him we have
the following The expedition left Couoy.
in Yucatan, on the Sth inst, and landed at
Cardenas on the 10Th. They lost some time
in landing, which gave the Spanish authori-
ties time TO send an express TO the Post or
fee, at Collozo, ten miles Off The troops
entered the town, and attacked the Jail, sup
posing it TO be barracks. The Jail guard,
fifteen men, stood fire well. At this mo-
meni, troops were seen crossing the square
and were hailed. They answered by firing
upon the troops after which some soldiers
went TO the Governors house, which was at
tackled. The house was well defended, but
was finally burned, and the troops surren-
dered
The town remained in quiet possession of
the invaders The troops being dissatisfied
with their warm reception, and having lost
time in getting the wounded on beard the
steamer Creole, became disconnected, and
insisted on going to Key West They were
closely pursued 10y Spanish war steamer,
but happily escaped.
The Isabel had not reached Charleston, at
20 o'clock, 40 m. a. IL.
The Sun publishes another account per
Isabel, which reports further success and VIC
tories and says, another force of 600 men,
another branch of the invading force, had
landed at Ligna lc Grand. and were expect
ed to join Lopez. i. further says that the
troops at Cardenas had gone over voluntari-
ly to the standard of Lopez. In the fort at
Cardenas, they found few small cannon,
and some ammunition. Gen. Lopez cap
tured the custom house treasury a; Cardcnas,
amounting, in all, to between $4,000 and
$4,000. The money was Immediately put
on board the Creole, to be sent to the United
States, for the purchase of certain munitions
of war. Gen. Lopez was reported to have
been greatly reinforced by native Cubans.
They were rushing to his support from every
quarter.
In The department of Nuelto Abajo, the
rising in favor of Lopez is universal. The
Vuelto Abajo is the western department Of
Cuba. The Cronica has the following;
"The merchants of Havana have offered
to the government, on the goth the use of
an immense sum Of money, and their own
services against the patriots. Over 1880
men voluntarily presented themselves 10 take
up arms"

We have already given a brief history Of
this claim-hence we need not repeat the
facts stated by tho Galphin Committee in
their several reports. Nor have we room for
their extended reasoning on the subject. The
majorty-Messrs. Burt, Disney, Feather
slon, jackson, and Mann, of Pennsylvania,
all Locos-agreed to the following resolu-
tons:
LIST, Resoired, That the claim Of the rep
resentatvcs of George Galphin was not a
just demand against the United States.
I'd, Resolced, That the act of Congress
made it the duty of the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay the principal of said claim,
and it was, therefore, paid Z" in conformity
with law" and precedent"
Sd, Resolved, That the act aforesaid did
not authorize the Secretary of the Treasury
TO pay interest on said claim, and its pay
ment was not in conformity with law or
"precedeAt."
The minority-Messrs. Breck, Conrad j..
G. King, and Grinnell, Whigs-in a well
written report, arrive at the following con-
illusions:
LIST. That the claim was just. and that the
Government was under an equitable obliga>
ton to pay it
I'd. That the interst, as well as the prin-
cipal, have been paid in conformity 10 law
and precedent.
Separate reports were also made by Messrs.
Disney, Feaiherston, and j. Mann, (recoln-
mending law prohibiting ATTY member Of
the Cabinet from deciding on any claim Or
demand against the Government in which
any other member Of the same Cabinet is
iEterested) and by Messrs. Bert and Jack.
SON. specially arguing against the payment
of interest on this claim.
AT last advices, the House had not de6n-
itely acted ON these reports.

MR. Daniel
As general thing our village is free
from nuisances, whether existing in the
shape of groegeries, Bowling Alleys, or good
side-,rdiEs but still we have imPeriectlo ms,
like all other places which can boast so re-
.nec,able a size as our own. And if these
imnerte,,,ons are occasionally noticed and
kent before the public, something, at least
NAV be hoped for in the way Of reformation.
Now il must have been impressed upon the
mind of every well-dressed stranger, (such
generally being the victims, )that the boys Of
this village have no equals in New England,
in the use Of impairment insulting language,
which they are by no means misery OF, bus
beslow on all occasions, on all well-dressed
persons, without any provocation but gen
tecl appearance. These boys are in some,
and probably most instances, those who have
never been properly trained, or enjoyed the
beneleit of a refined homc-but others OF
them are the sons or propeftycior VINO
would wish 10 call such boy son !--oi the
most resnectable mon in the village, and
from whom better things might have been
oxnected but from whom the very worst
,h;nos NAV be looked for with every reason
ahle expectaiion of finding them, sinre i'm
nert;r emit BOYS do not generally possess this
I fault only,-but can always succeed IN
finding enough others to keep il company.
I would respectfully call the attention Of our
male youths to this matter, imploring them,
If they ever intend becoming men, TO con :
slider that they cannot too soon commence
acting manly. And l would hint 20 the liv-
ing ancestors of these promising progeny,
that they are not, il may he, as much to blame
as yourselves, land that parent Is very
