VERxoNT.-Gov. Royce, in his annual
message to the Legislature of Vermont, re-
marks that nothing has occurred during the
las, year to allsy just apprehcnsions of dan
ger ~ most of thevital interests of the Free
States from the determined purpose of b
part of the nation to extend the limits and
influence Of slavery. That purpose is under
stood to have been manifested in the Terri
tory of Kansas by cource of successful
menace and violence equally defiant of law
and the rights of opponents. A design is
also indicated to break down the great prin-
ciple of common law, heretofore Universally
admitted and affirmed, :hat slave becomes
free when he enters a free State By consent
Of his master. The experiment has been
tried Of purposely bringing slaves into a
Free State, and there claiming o continued
property in them. and all these events
would seem to have passed With an acquies.
cence to say the least, on the part of nation
al authorities, executive and Judicial, which
the true friends Of freedom can scarcely
contemplate with composure. The time has
evidently arrived when all who would op-
pose the further ensroachments of slavery,
should combine their vigorous and persevcr-
ing efforts for that purpose.

master, lately at his races, and he offered his
usual toast to Little Dug
Says he, 'b'hoys, lei us drink to the little
6 liant, the greatest man in the world, whichever
way lie goes, the people are sure t" follow
Seeing that Isaac was in the strain the boys
commenced questioning him about the recent
of change in the Post office. Isaac then hove
to, after the following style:
shall te saved, if Little Dug can do it, and
he is hard at work. But tell you jim Camp
bell is the hardest Postmaster General we ever

were all got up by abolltionlsts and temperance

Then, he took them up singly and reiuted II EN-

was, that instead of passing my time in the

Dug said he could speak from his own person.

passed most of his time, as gu know he does,
with me when IN Chicago.
Here the Post Master General interrupted
Little Drg, and said:
'Do you say, Judge Douglas, that you pass
most of your tiEe in the Post Office when in
Chicaso?' @
lnever saw Little Dug correred before. He
could not say word. For, if he said he pas
sed most of his time in the Post Office, then
had violated tue regulation which admits none
but sworn agents OF the Department. And. if
he said he lid not, he would contradict what
he had just SAID, and bring himself out in l,e

get out?'
Why, d-n it, he had for once to throw HIM

that he knew Of his own personal knowledge
every charge to be false, and he thought it un-
becoming the dignity ola U S. Senator to al
low himself to be cross questioned. And so
the matter e. ded, and when you see how jim
Campbell correred Little Dug in this way, you
can all see what set OF hands have got after
