Large meetings Of TIE freemen of Rutland

at Middlebury, have recently been held and
the deeds Of Douglas d Co. COMPATIBILITY
condemned. A call for meeting of the same

How far all these points are truly taken, we
are not able to say, not having had time to

do not conceive that the suppression of in

New York JiUuvr t,,,y.

Governor Seymour of New York, has it
seems, taken the responsibility of votoing
the prohibitory law lately passed by the Leg
islature of New York
The chief grounds alleged by Gov, Seymour
of New York, for vctoing the bill entitled
"an Act for the suppression ofIntemperance"
are briefly as follows That in its provisions
for tho search for, seizure and destruction of
Intoxicating liquors it violates the right of
the people to be safe FROM the loose and
dangerous powers Of general warrants -
that it exposes a person directly TO be pun
uishcd with forfeiture of property, fine and
imprisonment, unless he can aud does prove
himself innocent of violating the law.-that
1t gives freer liberty to invade the donicil
OF the citizen " to procure evidence OF guilt"
than " TO detect tho darkest and most dance-
rous crimes that it opens the way Tor
- malicious persons 10 get possession OF
others property with fraudulent desigrs -
