Mr.. BDlroR--As our Legislature is
about to convene, il is proper that the
people and the press should speak to
questions Of general interest. The pol
icy of the State on the liquor question is
no doubt settled A return to license
system is desired by too inconsdcrablc
minority to excite apprehension. In
deed, ncqucsccucc in a prohibitory law
is almost universal. Facts have demon.
strated greater sincerity in the avowal,
so often made by opponents, "only exc.
cute it, carry it out, and VIC will 60 with
YOU" than wo had accredited to them
There is not only a law-abiding spirit in
Vermont. but there is strong sentiment
in favor of pcV-worIing ap. And
that the prohibitory liquor law has work.
cd we'll is now matter Of history, and it
is fast'hastening to time when there will
not be found against it "a dog to open
his mouth"
But as the difficulty Of execution was.
with the most respectable opponents of
the law, their greatest objection, time
having shown general disposition to ell.
forco it, there should now exist no oppo.
sition to the removal of any difficulty
existing in the law itself And it is in
fact believed, that no effective or deter
mined opposition does exist.
And on The other hand it is, doubtless.
the prevailing sentiment of temperance
men who have an idea beyo the Doc.
tors" catechism, that the public good
does not require the agitation of qucs-
tions disturbing the tranquility at the
present session.
There are two points which portion
of the community, and generally those
not among the former friends Of the law,
wish improved.
|. That drunkenness be made crime.
This doubtless ought aud will be con.
coded, though often more a misfortune
than fault
2. The sections relating to searches
should be made in unquestionablc con
formity to the constitution
In those two amendments it il be.
lievcd there may be almost entire har,
mony.
United action is too desirable to be
sacrificed to little purpose. And that
any new apple of dscord will give ad
vantage to the cause of temperance i,
doubted by many Of its old aud tried

Annual Meeting Of the Rutland q Bur-


The stockholders meeting of Rutlandl
and Burlington Railroad ioyk place at
Bellows Falls. on Wednesday. the goth, |
according TO notice. and was called to
order BY Thomas TEACHER, Esq, Pres
ident, at IL o'clock
In his preliminary remarks, Mr..
TEACHER alluded to the unfortunate con.
dition Of the Road at the time he assum.
ed the Presidency, when. with large
portion of its motive power under at
tachmeut, and its cars and the road bed
and iron in need of great repair, it was
actually running at a pecuniary loss. At
the present time as one Of the Trustees
i'll possession of the Road, he could say
that its locomotive are all in perfect or.
der. the cars in good repair, and the
road in snch condition that an express
train could be run with perfect safety
over every mile of it. With regard to
its earnings, although the northern end
of the road seriously felt the want of its
share of the Ogdensburg business, of
which, by an arrangement with the Vt.
Central, it is at present deprived, there
had been, within the past two months, q
Lnew source of income to the road from
its connection via the Albany Northern
Road with the New York Central, BY
which share of the traffic of the Great
West is secured, and which already be.
gins to show its effect upon the receipts.

Trustees had been in possession, Novem.

were S3I0263 81

and the repairs were 24a,l3s 03
Leaving balance Of 6l,l25 Sd
Mr.. Reed, of Boston, accounted for
the diversion of the Ogdensburgh
business, by tho fact that the share Of
the Rutland was promised to it, proyid
cd some 100000 of the bonds of thai
road should be taken and paid for by
this; a proposition to which the Direc
tors of this Company did not feel al
liberty to accede. The other lines hat
not the same scruples; they subscribed
for large amount of the bonds and go
the business. With regard to the futur,

they would be forthcoming and takel

The report Of the Directors was thcr
produced, but, as it was | o'clock, wa

MASSACHUSETTS FREE Soil CAN
DlDATE.-Our readers will remember
or possibly have forgotten-that
the Free Soil alias "Republcan," al.
ia;f'Fusionist" Convention at Worces-
ter nominated Henry Wilson as their
candidate for Governor. 1t does not
appear that this appointment has been
responded to by the nominee he
has not accepted the dubious honor.
Rather curious proceeding this
after having got the nomination, as it
is believed, by contrivanccs of his own.
The fact is, the political breeze chops
round a little too quickly nowadays
for the comfort Of those navigators
who are accustomed to steer very
close-hauled. Mr.. Wilson sought IA
vor in the eyes of the Know Nothings,
and pleased himself with the prospect
Of their support. Bat these fish would
not bite, and his hopes in that quarter
are gonc-hook and sinker. 1t j:
whispered that he will make another
effort in q different direction, and
throw out an overture to the Wings Of
the Democrats. 1t matters very lit
tie which of the two will have his pre-
ference, as we imagine he would NEE
with the same answer from both
namely, an exhortation to "tarry q
Jericho. "-Boston Courier.

Proposed Revival Of the Slave Trade.
The New York Wing State Conven.
ton passed a resolution deoouncipg in
strong terms the project, started at the
South, Of rcviving the African Slave
trade-now punished as piracy by law.
tits hard to believe that such purpose
is seriously entertained by any consider.
able number of civilized men but who
would not have said the same, in ad.
vance, Of proposition to repeal the Mis-
souri, Compromised That such move.
mcnt is contemplated in earnest by some
prominent Southern men, admits of no
doubt. Tho following paragraph from
the Raleigh Post, a moderate Pro Sla.
very paper, throws light on this subject,
and will be read with interest:
awe are sorry to observe in certain
quarters disposition to offset the vic.
lencc of Northern aggression by resort
to extreme measures of Southern policy
1t has even been suggested that the AT.
rican Slave trade be re-opcned. ard our
Southern ports be again converted into
markets for tho importation Of savage
millions from tho opposite continent
The proposition has been indeed rcceiv.
cd with little favor, as a measure OF
present policy, and the thanks of the re.
ligious and humane arc especially due to
the distinguished DR.. Cartwright o.
Louisiana, for his able exposure of its
fallacious character, in a recent commu-
nication to the New Orleans Delta
But even DR.. Cartwright. with all his
humane feelings and correct phlosophi.
cal views, does not hesitate to express
the opinion. that, if the Union should be
dissolved, in consequence of Northern
violence, "thc South ,couM be compelled
an seJfdefcncc, TO rcrirc the Africa,
Stare fraeic on a grander and more CT
fcnsi,c scale than the ,rorM kas cre,
'eitncs'ed." 1t can no longer 10 con
cealed that many leading minds at the
South are, like DR.. Z, contemplating
this atrocious system as n probable con
sequence of dissolution. and ms neccs
sary expcdicnt for the future defence Of
their country. We have two most &C
rious objections TO urge against the dis
cussion Of such revolving proposition
One is that slavery and the African
slavc-tradc are two different thugs. il
morals, as well as in politics, which il
is grossly absurd and impo)itic to con
found. The moral sense Of the South
as well AS that of the North, is firml,
fixed in urdying condemnation Of tha
shameful traffic. and We ourselves pro
toundly share in the same sentiment T,
advocate its revival, VIC honestly rogar,
as species Of ultraism which the con
sentative South could never adopt, con
sistently with sclfrcsrcct and her owl
oft'rcpeated declarations against it, Il
point OF policy nothing could be NOR,
visionary or absurd, aud whilst the fan
ciful mind of DR.. Cartwright may be CT
cused for its conditional approval, VI
doubt whether any profound Statesman
would venture at present openly to dc
fenl it,"

We u1lersand that such core

has taken pace--tliat Judge Bronson

1t seems then, that JUDGE BRONSON
has taken his position at last on the
temperance question, and is to be
reckoned among its opponents. lie
has been long time in making up
his mind, and we are glad that he has
come out into the open field with his
armor on. 1t is always better to know
the sentiments and opinions of men
who are candidates for the suffrages of
the people than to trust the chances of
nom commit,alism. in the case Of
JUDGE Bronson, it has been indus
triously circulated in quarters where
it was supposed it would aid his cleo
ton, that he was i'll faver of the ten.

has in that way been made for him.

The Unprecedented low prices for

a good Kidderminster suitable for par

They are also large dealers in Paint

ably make more money than any es-

chasers at the annual New York auc-

In this way they are
