The State Conyention-Low Fare.

The State ConventiOn-Low Fare.
The several Railroad Companies, with their
accustomed liberalty, will carry delegates to
and from the Wing State Convention at Bel
lows Falls, for haT fare. The excursion in
itself will be delightful and Bellows Falls is
one of the most lovely villages in New Eng
and. The State Committee acted wisely in
calling the Convention at this place, as the al
rangement equally accommodates the Northern
and Middle portions of the State, which are pro-
vided with Railroads, and the Southern section,
which is not yet possessed Of these facilities
year hence, it will be matter of Indifference
,chere the Convention is held. Vermont will
then be emphatically a RAILROAD STATE.
---Our Bellows Falls friends have ample
accommodations fer crowds Our State pos
sesses no tiocr pubic houses than will be found
there. and those who commit themselves TO the
tender mercies" of Col. SHURTLEFr, GAR

EesOirfd That his Excellcncv the Governor be
reqptsed to transmit copy Of the foregoing resoIu-
! tuns to each o the Senators and Representatives
from this State in Congress.
Mr.. ELDERKIN stated that his resolution
was copy OF one that passed the Legislature
of Vermont, and was designed to secure to
those who had rendered important service TO
the country, but VINO were not benefited or
reached by the pension laws.
! Leave having been granted,
Mr.. GLEASON moved to refer it to the com.
mitee on military atfars.
Mr.. A. SMIl II knew nothing about this, but
If, as stated, this resolution had Vermont or
Ign that was enough for him, he should vote
! for it cheerfuily.
Mr.. o. ALLEN Is this a correct copy of the
| Vermont resolution
NJ. ELDERKlN said it was. 1t was sent to
| him, certified as correct copy.
I M. GLEASON said his only object was to
get time to consider the matter, aud see if there
were not others who had rendered similar ser
vices to the country, who were unprovided for.
But under the explanations Of the mover, he
waived his motion.
Mr.. PARDEE thought he had no doubt of
the facts stated, still thought we ought TO lay
over the resolution one dav
MIR. BRIGGS objected to the word instruct
he did not believe in the right of Instruction.
He was willing however TO request Congress.
Mr.. WARD hoped the resolution would moi,
be passed TO a vote forthwith, and certainly not
without hearing some better reasons than those
which had been assigned-that Vermont had
| passed the same Thing. lie did not doubt the
great wisdom Of the Vermont Legislature ; but
they had passed some resolutions which did not
.'"p"dy great deal in his Judgment lie al
luded particularly to their attempts By rosnlu-
ton or law TO annuI the fugitive act.
lie preferred some better and further reasons
for voting for the resolution than that it had
passed the Legislature of Vermont.
Mr.. BRIGGS, motion TO strike out instruct
and insert request, prevailed
Mr.. TUTlllLL was not prepared to vote on
this resolution without further information ;
and indeed should like 10 see another subject
brought to the attention of Congress-. He al
lrled 10 the subject of international copyright.
For the present he moved to lay on The table
Lost.

The resolution was adopted and
The House adj. TO Monday, at Q A. NJ.
Mr. WARD should be better posted up before
making himself rery conspicuous on Vermont
affairs. The resolutions" to which he alludes
were warmly commended by the Naiiona! In
tell'9eacer, and other Southern papers, as being
OF character eracily The rererSe of that ascrib-
ed to them by Mr.. WARD! Nor has the YER
mont Legislature passed any claw with intent
''to annul the fugitive act. Vermont, we are
glad to say is a good deal in the habit of mlnd>
ing her own business and taking care of her
own inhabitants, without troubling herself much
with foreign affairs, except once il. four years,
when she uniformly does her best to cleo, a
Wn.G FHEtID&Nr, which is doubtless very dis.

We thaak MIR. SMITH for his generous
confidence in the Legislation Of the Green Noun

misplaced, so long as Vermont remains Wing

to the nations will, and with that good faith
which is requisite for the nations safety. If
