TUESDAY, July IL, 1854


Before Judge Green Lucy Ann Coggs-

of equivocal character, was sent for six months

born and disobedient child.

THE RAILRoAD FRAUD.-A writer in the
Journal of Commerce, who is vouched for by
the editors as an eminent lawyer in Connecti-
cut denies that the New Haven Railroad Co.
is, or can by any means be made responsible
for the fraudulent stock issued by Schuyler.
The writer says, there can be no stock with
out the payment of money or that which is
equivalent, and that the amount of stock is
limited by the charter, and cannot exceed the
charter limits The directors are mere agents
of the Company, and have no power to in
crease the stock and much less to ratify frau
dulent act of one Of their members.
A correspondent of the New Haven Paila-
dun contends that the Company cannot be
held responsible for the fraudulent stock GER
tifcates issued by the President, because the
charter of the company provides that the cap
ital stock shall not exceed $3,000,000, and
neither the directors, or stockholders even,
have power to increase the number of shares
beyond the prescribed limit. The writer says
"The charter of this company is Connec-
ticut charter, and the Supreme Court of Err
rors have recently decided, that the corpora
ton cannot be stopped from denying the valid
ity of a contract made in its name by the agents
of the company, in pursuance OF known
public usuage, if the contract was one which
the charter did not authorize; even though
the consideration for the contract had gone in
to the treasury OF the company"

SUICIDE OF Two Persons IN EAST ABING-
ToN.-A suicide, attended with circumstances
of singular character, occurred this morning
in East Abingdon, the particulars of which, as
we learn, are as follows: 1t seems that a
young man named Isaac p. Nash, native of
Pembroke, but resident OF East Abingdon,
and young lady named Adrianna Sampson,
belonging i'll Stoughton, had formed all attach
ment for each other, but from some cause or
other, they were prevented from being united
in the holy bonds of wedlock. The young
lady was i'll this city yesterday OH visit to an
aunt, aud appeared in excellent health and
spirits. In the afternoon she returned to her
home in Stoughtou, and towards evening her
lover. Mr.. Nash, hired horse and chaisc in
East Arlington, and proceeding to Stoughton,
took Miss Sampson to ride. This was the last
which was seen of them alive, so far as is yet
known.
About five o'clock this morning. Mr.. John
Sears, who tends Reeds Mill, in East Abing
ton, discovered horse and chaise (Which has
since proved to be the one hired by Mr.. Nash)
standing near the Mill, the horse being tied
and carefully covered with buffalo robe
On the fence, near the chaise, Mr.. Sears also
found two shawls and bonnet, which have
since been identified as belonging to Miss
Sampson; and near by the same spot, he also
found Mr.. Nash'S hat, i'll which was. the fol-
lowing note:

THE BosroN FA1tuRE.-Ihe Boston Courier
saws that the failure of Willis & Co., on Satur-
day, was caused by the sudden demands on
them for large amounts of loans which they
were unable to respond to, at short notice;
although they aver that they have property
equal to Sl75, 900 more than their liabilities.
1t is believed that they will be able to get an
extension from their creditors, and resume
business again within short time, and thus
avoid sacrifices which otherwise might prove
disastrous to all concerned. The firm has
been doing profitable business for some years
past, and has always been remarkably prompt
in meeting its pecuniary engagements, but
the recent troubles in New York have shaken
credit generally, and led to the calling in of
loans at time when it is almost impossible to
raise large sums of money on pledge of colat-
erals. All remittanees and deposits by Willis
& Co. on the day of their suspension were
promptly paid out where they Belonged
They protected the drafts of their correspond
ents, and it is understood they will so on with
their regular business.

The first train for emgrants, under the
auspices of the Emigrant Aid Company, will
leave Boston on Monday, the 18th inst,
at o'clock P. NJ, stopping at Worcester and
the usual way stations, for the express trains.
An agent of the Company, and also of the
railroads with which the Companyis negotiat-
ing, will accompany the train, and, although
no definite price has yet been fixed, there is
no doubt that the fare will be as cheap, and
the arrangements as convenient, as possible.
1t is thought that 800 win cover the ex-
penses of an emigrant, with good allowance
of baggage. A proposition is now before the
Directors Of the Worcester County Kansas
League, and will probably be adopted by
them, to guarantee through tickets to emil
grants from this County, for that sum.

State Convention.

The call for State Convention, of persons
opposed to the Nebraska outrage, and to the
further aggressions Of the slave power, with
out distinction Of party, to be holden in Wor-
cester, on the Doth inst, has been circulated,
and extensively signed, in all parts of the
State. This movement is intended to give to
the country decided manifestation of the
opinions, feelings, and determination of Mas
sachusetts, on the great political questions,
which now so exclusively engross the public
mind. We hope to see it fully and cordially
responded to in every quarter, and to see the
good men of Massachusetts, throwing aside all
minor prejudices, feelings, and distinction,
uniting with one accord, to protest, in the
name of Freedom and Humanity, against the
outrages that have already been inflicted on
them. The Springfield Republican, the ablest
and most influential Wing paper in the State,
says, in reference to the call
/" It appears to us not only wisdom, but du-
ty, for men of all organizations to cooperate
heartily and zealously in the gathering Of the
Goth, at Worcester. The call is broad enough
any special narrow, partizan course. 1t need
not, unless it is practicable, override any ex-
listing local political organizations. 1t simply
calls upon the people of Massachusetts, to con-
suit together, and take such action as the
crisis requires 1t calls upon Massachusetts
to speak her sentiments, without distinction Of
party, upon the late extraordinary action of
Northern doughfaces and Southern slaveo-
Gratis. Such call should be responded to,
and Massachusetts should speak, not by
faction, nor with divided voice, but in thun-
der tones, the feelings that animate and burn
in her bosom at this moment
AS this movement will derive its peculiar
significance and force from the fact, that it
represents all parties and shades of opinion
on other points, it seems fit and proper that
there should be some concerted action in the
various towns, to bring out full delegations, so
that hereafter there may be no mistake, mis-
apprehension, or Misrepresentation as to what
the opinions of Massachusetts are. We care
not what the political bases or preferences
may have been of those who attend. If they
are only right on these great and vital issues,
as we firmly believe, large portion of the
people of the State are, we ask for nothing
more. We would even prefer to see large
majority of the Convention, composed of those
who have not acted politically with us, and to
see them all acting tremendously together, as
becomes intelligent and patriotic freemen and
Republicans.
The season, we are aware, is busy one,
but one day may be spared to Freedom. Let
there then be a full gathering on this very i'm
portant and interesting occasion.

The STATE CoNvENTIoN.-The Springfield
Republican says 1T appears to us not only
wisdom but duty for mea of all organizations
to cooperate heartily and jealousy in the
gathering Of the goth at Worcester. The call
is broad enough and generous enough. 1t
does not necessitate any special, narrow, par
tizan course. Itneed not, unless it is found
practicable, override any existing local polit-
ical organizations. 1t SIMPLY calls upon the
people of Massachusetts +" to consult together
and take such action as the crisis requires" 1t
calls upon Massachusetts to speak her senti-
ments, without distinction OF party, upon the
late extraordinary action of northern dough-
faces and southern slaveocrats. Such call
should be responded TO, and Massachusetts,
should speak, not by faction, nor with divi-
ded voice, but in thunder tones, the feelings
that animate and burn in her bosom at this
moment.

by previous invitation, to be in Boston on
that day, if my personal engagements will ad.
NIT of my taking part in the celebration of the
day. i have, in fact, been obliged to decline

being obliged to decline your invitation.
Very respectfully your ob't servant and
friend, EMORY WAsHBURN.
To Messrs. John Blair. c. A. Paige and
Sylvester Dresser, Esq. rs.
At the close of Gov. Washburn's letter, he

section, giving to mechanics and other citi-
zens of the United States, without the requi-
site knowledge to till the land, $3.50 instead,
out of the funds in the treasury.

BOSTON, June 18th, 1854.
GENTLEMEN IL received your very kind
invitation to join with you in celebrating the
ensuing anniversary of our national independ-
ence, can assure you, gentlemen, it would
afford me the highest degree of pleasure to be
with the good people Of Southbridge on that
occasion, but previous engagement will pre-
vent my doing so. AS l cannot be with you,
permit me i'll few words, to express my
views of the present state of things, or rather
our duties at the present time.
The recurrence of our country's natal day,
should excite our JOY and our gratitude The
patriotic men of that day should command
our yeneration and respect The principles
they published to the world Oh that memora-
bic occasion, should always be remembered
and always practsed. Any derogation of those
principles, i'll any quarter, should be depreca-
ted. This union should, and will he main
tanned despite the threatenings in high places.
This nation can and should present an emil
Gus and glorious example to the nations of the
earth. All internal improvements which
serve to facilitate commerce and bind these
States together, should be encouraged. Dig
nifty and protection to our free labor and in
situations should be cardinal objects in indi-
vidual and national action. Freedom is the
equal right of all and the spirit ofinsatiate OPP
preston in all its advancements and encroach-
ments should be driven back and increasingly
resisted. The bounds should at least be set,
over which its devouring waves should never
pass. Let the spirit of fawning, merceuary
demagogism be forever despised with deepest
adherence. Let all laws obnoxious to free
dom be repealed, or most essentially modified.
As our 1lation does and will enlarge its boun-
dares, let freedom keep full pace with its
growth. In short, freedom to all-oppression
to none. Let all these things be observed and
done, and think the nations prosperity and
perpetuity is placed beyond question or a
doubt. Be assured, gentlemen, of my CRATE
full acknowledgements for this mark of your
respect and Of my ardent desire for the pros
perity of yourselves and all the citizens of
Southbridge. l offer you the following senti-
ment -
Our CoUNTRY-Glorious in its origin
powerful in its growth-swelling its bounda-
ries, may the freedom which we celebrate,
be enjoyed by all who shall be embraced with
in its utmost limits.
Yours most respectfully.
