o. The " \. Tribune, had tclcgraphic
reporter at the recent extra Free Soil State
Convention at Montpelier, on the 22d inst, who
was of the highfaluin order decidedly. That
papers dispatch Of the date named, contains the
following:
Upon re-assembing, Mt half past one addresses
were made by VIM. T. Brlggs, the Hon. Paul Dh-
bingham aud others in relation 10 the Fugitive Slave
Law The nomination Committee reported the Hon
TINoTuY I. REuFltLD, OF Montpelier, Judge Of the
Supreme Court, as candidate tor Governor, and the
report was accepted unanimously throuHds Of dp-
pldHSc. Judge Redheid accepted The nomination in
an eloquent speech.
The Tribune Is well informed enough in re-
gard to Vermont men and mltters, we had sup
posed, to know that II. ?. REDfIELD (who holds
a respectable position, both as a lawyer and a
man is not the Hon. Isaac +. RrDrIELD, one
Of the Justices OF the Supreme Court, by a
long shot Judge Redfeld is probably amcng
the last men in the State whom these hucksters
in politics, who do the fugling for "thc late la
montod" Free Democracy party, would APP

And then these rounds of applause I! -
One gentleman counted the "Convcntlon,'
spectators and all, while the nomination Com,

us at Is, all told. Another land Middlebur,
man who is rather famous in this State for tho
accuracy of his stntstcs) told us he counted
at subsequent period, ~. Just add 10 to GS
and the sum will go to show that both our IN
iormants were pretty near right. In this view
of the case, these Grounds of applause" may b,
set down ms not having been very terrific. A

has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, 10 fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves OF the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication OF
Messrs Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one-tifth the expense of the original works
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we judge, long felt
desideratsim-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This is unparal-
leed despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with IT,.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable The
table OF cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume, but containing
also a short abstract of the subject of each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they are here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication; we think, cannot fail TO be
useful 10 the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal InteIiigncu.
