-DisHoNEsr AGrNrs.--We learn
that the towns of Randolph and Braintree
have been sued for the lachcs of their re-
spec,ivc linquor agents Of last year. Bills
for liquor, we are informed, were purchas-
ed by them on the credit of their towns,
the liquor sold, and the ayails without
doubt appropriated to their own use and
behoof and the towns left to square the
debts of their own contracting. They were
appointed to their agencies by rum Com
missioner, who, we must presume, well
knew their utter responsibility, and APP
probated by the selectmen of their respec-
tive towns who, to say the least, were not
less ignorant of their uniitness for the plac-
cs to which they were appointed. The tax
payers of Randolph and Braintree must
now foot the unpaid bills Of these faithless
agents, and we doubt not that the rum por-
ton Of them will fork over their share Of
the required amount to meet these deln-
anenoies with great cheerfuness.- Stand

The Railroad Convention in regard
to advanced tariffs, was held at Bellows
Falls, on Friday, but was not fully repre-
scented by all the roads in interest. The
unanimous opinion, however, was express
ed that the tariff must be raised, and sever

is to be called together again in about six

-TnE PLATFORM adopted at Rut-
land on the 9TH inst, is identical with the
principlrs held by the Wing party for many
years, on Slavery, in all respects but one.
For the first time, the Wings have declar-
ed their entire independence of the Slav-
cry propagandists, and pledged their sup
port only to the friends Of Freedom. Even
in in this stand they have but initiated tho
principle and adopted the language of one
OF the most eminent and purest Wings Of
the country-IlEsKV CLAY; applying both
however in the ina inner that the crisis de-
mands. We invite our readers TO compare
the 9Th resolution adopted at Rutland with
the following.
During the year 1850, Mr.. Clay and his
associates in the 3lst Congress, prepared
and published to the world the following
DECLARATION AND FLEDGE
The undersigned, members Of the 3lst
Congress Of the 4. s., believing that a re-
Dewal Of sectional controversy upon the
subject Of slavery would be both danger
Gus TO the Union and destructive TO its OBJ
jects, and seeing no mode by which such
controversies can be avoided, except by a
strict adherence to the settlement thereof,
effected by the Compromise passed at the
