C0MNENCETENr--U. ". M.

1t seems to be the general opinion that the
exercises, this year, connected with the annua
commencement at Blhlingtion, were of more
than usual interest. 1t was the first semi cen
tennial, or the tiltieth anniversary of the col
lege. The exercises commenced ON the alternoo.
OF Sunday, July 3lst, with the Baccaaurcat,
8 rmon preached by Doctor Smith, in the Uni
tartan Church On the same evening the Soci
ETY. for Religious Inquiry were addressed b,
PROF.. Noyes, of Dartmouth College. There
were no proceedings on Monday. The exercises
were commenced on Tuesday, at the Unitarian
Church, by prayer from DR. A. Chandler, o.
Greenfield, Mass. The history of the Universe
ty by DIR. Wheeler, which followed, was listened
to with unusual interest and though it wa,
rather long,no signs OF wclrinrss were exhibited
by the large audience. The grafton, before til,
Literary Societies, which followed, by Mr.. J
Il. Spalding, Of the ~ Y Courier d Enquirer
was Il superior performance. Its subject secmet
to be the part which the peculiar training o
the /. V. NJ. has fitted her Alumni to take
and low that her teachings point out the tru,
way to the greatest and most honorable success
poem followed, by the Rev. 0. G. Wheeler
of Grand Isle. The exercises at the Alumni
Dinner were not the least interesting part of til,
proceedings. Many excellent speeches wcr,
made, but the contemplated Publication of thcs
addresses, together with all others connected
with the celebration, render an extended ac
count of them unnecessary.
On Tuesday evening occurred the JUNO
Exhibition, which as usual drew II large audi
cncc. The Junior class certainly deserve grea
praise. We were particularly pleased with tn
crations Of B, F. FiGeld of Orange, and Jane
d. Noble of Burlington. So much origina
talent, and so much really fine clocution W
have rarely witnessed at Junior Exhibition
and this is gradually becoming decided fca
turc in the annual exercises. The graduatin,
class, the next day, acquitted themselves ad
mirably. There was no production below Inc
diocrity and very many above it. The effort
of Messrs. Benton, Gay, Waterman, Watson
and Thompson, were considered the most sue
cessfnl. The Masters orations by Mathew Hal,
of Poughkecpsie, N Y, and Nj. II. Buckbau
| OF Burlington, were excellent.
As we remarked above, there has rarely beer
a Commencement, the exercises of which bav,
been of so high an order, and if the Uniyers;t,
should advance no further. yet her graduate,
cannot fail to show how excellent have been bo,
teachings.
On Wednesday Evening, Mrs. John II peol
threw open her splendid residence and oro,nd,
to large company, where the exercises wer,
terminated in manner appropriate and enter.

WASHINGTON AN ABoLIrIoNIsr.-Thc fol.
lowing letter has just appeared in print, which
more clearly than any other evidence shows
him to have been true anti-slavery man, such
as the country now scouts.
Writing to Tobias Lear in England, in
1794, Washington gives the following reasons
why he has empowered Mr.. Lear to sell por-
ton of his landed estate:
Il have no scruplo in disclosing to you
that my motives to these sales are to reduce
my income, be it more or less, to specialites,
that the remainder of my days may there
by be more tranquil and free from care, and
that Imay be enabled, knowing mhat my
dependence Is, to do as much good as my
resources nil a,imit for although in the cs-
timaton of the world possess good and
clear estate, yet SO reproductive is it, that 1
am ottent,mes ASHAMED to refuse MD wa'fh I
cannot a6ord. unless I sell part Of IL to IN
swer this purpose Besides these, have
another motive which makes me EARNESTLY
wish for these things; IT IS INDEED MORE pow
ERFUL THAN ALL TUE REST +; namely, 70 hbr-
ate species Of property whieh 1 possess
nery rcpngnantly to my owa feelings. bnt
chtch ,mperi0us necessity compes until 1
can substitute some ether e1pedieat BY wiieh
fzpeases not IN my pDocr to auOid (hoDsrer
,osa disposed may be to do'it) can be de.
froyed"

STATE TICKET,

In compliance with the decision of tho Mass
Meeting Committee, who, having consulted
Judge Royce and obtained his acceptance of a
nomination under the Republican Convention of
the 18th, and its platform, in the place of Gen.
Walton, resigned, have agreed to ill the vacancy
with the name of the former; and in colnpli-
ence, also, with the advice of the leading MEM
bers of the Free Democratic State COMMITTEES
and many other influential friends Of Freedom,
we have, in the absence Of any other public ex-
preston, this week inserted State Ticket con-
sisting of Stephen Royce, Ryland Fletcher and
Daniel Baldwin.
OF the three candidates. little need at nrescnt
be said. Judge Royce, though nominated bv
the Wing State Convention, now souarely en-
dorses the distinctive and strongly anti-slayery
platform of the Mass Meeting of the 18th of
July. Gen. Fletcher is an old and unwaverine
friend of Freedom, with whose nomination all
the Free Democrats of the State are presumed
to be well satisfied Mr. Baldwin, who is OK
tensively known to the public as one of the ablest
financiers in the State, is an Ant-Nebraska
Democrat, who helped build the platform of the
l3th and who is not the man to desert it, but
who is no ofice-seeker, having first been unan-
ously nominated by the full nominating commit
tee of the Mass Meeting without his knowledge
OF wish, and his name is now inserted in like
manner.
And we are desired to say, that it is hoped
this arrangement will be so far satisfactory to
those OF our friends who were disappointed ut
the result Of the Mass Meeting that they will
deem it better to accept it than to try the exper-

IABEAs CoRPrs DENIED TO Boorn.-Thc Su-
preme Court this morning rendered u verbal de-
cision upon the application Of s. NJ. Booth for
II writ Of hdbeas corpus to be discharged from
Jail.
The grounds upon which the writ was refused
were. that the prisoner was under the exclusive
jurisdiction Of the United States Court, us such
interference must necessarily produce conflict,
which it is the duty of both Courts to avoid.
The law of this State was also cited, which
would compel the Court to remand the prisoner
as soon as it was asccrtained that he was held
by United States process. 1t was further
stated tina. the case could not be heard till the
prisoner was in custody of this Court, into
which he could not be brought without a d.
rect conflict between the State and the United
States officers.
Chief Justice Wilton and Justice Smith, con-
CURED in drawing wide distinction between
the case of a prisoner held by the warrant of a
Commissioner or inferior magistrate, and one
held by the Judge or Coart. The former they
did not consider in the custody of the Court,
and consequently, the taking of him by this
Court to decide his application, did not involve
Il conflict Of jurisdiction. Justice Crawford had
held differently in his opinion previously de-
livcred, and repeated the position there assumed.
The writ was dcn5d by the Unanimous de-
cision of the Court MADISON Argus and Dem
0crdt.

WASHINGTON County CONVENTIONS We last
week published the proceedings of the Free
Democratic and Democratic County Convention
presenting but one ticket. We this week give
the proceedings of the Republican Mass Meeting
of last Saturday, called and proceeding on the
principles Of the late State Mass Meeting. The
doings, it seems to be generally conceded, were
harmonious, and the ticket, going on the prin-
ciplc of the Gull, II fair and liberal one. From
present appearances, there will be but two tick

CRUELTY ro'xssbxyE.--Tae Lexington (Mo)
Express has an account Of the death of slave
at the hands o. his MASTER Jc>cphus Hicklin,
from which we make the following extract -
''The only fault alleged against the negro ayas
that he was dissatisfied with his master, and
wanted to be sold, and that he was lazy.-
For these alleged offences the negro was put to
the torture. Outside Of the Book OF Martyrs
itwould be hard to find any case that in
point Of cruelty affords parallel to this Mrs
Stowe imagination furnishes no case upon
which this is not an improvement. The lash
fire, gouging, beating over the head with
heavy clubs, the rubbing Of cayenne pepper
and tobacco in bis eyes, &C.. were some Of the
appliances used, not for single hour single
day, or single week, but every day. for more
than three weeks, until he died. The fient
has not yet been arrested.
