THE LrcIsLATURE.

The Legislature of this State will commence
its annual session on Thursday, the lth of
October. The Council of Ccnsors meets a
few days previously, and their action may, in
some degree, give direction to portion Of the
legislative proceedings.
Notice has been given through the papers
of this county, That applications will be made
for three new Banks, one in Brattel~ro, one
in Wilmington, and one in Newfane; also for
the annexation of portions of the town Of
Somerset to the towns Of Dover and Wards
boro. In other counties notices Of application
for Banks have been pretty numerously pub
lished.
II is quite usual for individuals to declare,
Immediately previous to The sessions of the
Legislature, that such sessions can and ought
to be abridged; but when the Legislature is
fairly at work II somehow happens that the
Juror for abridgement is msi, and that the on
" question connected witi the subject is how
to manage so that il ma! not be unusually
! prolonged. We take this occasion to repeat
what we have heretofore Urged, that biennial
sessions are frequent enotgh for all the legis-
lation that is necessary inthis State.

THE GAY SEASON.

We write this heading with lively recollections OF
the past, not unconscious however that in few
short weeks IT must be laid aside till the return Of
another summer brings back TO usagain our rclent-
ed friends at the Water Cures whose e1ertions have
contributed 50 much to our happiness during the
present season. The entertainments now presented
at these pleasant resorts pleasant alike 10 the in
valid and the heAlthful-hAve from small begin
nings assumed the character Of regular and well
conducted ADJUSTMENTS, such ~ all ages and con-
ditions Of persons can witness with pleasure and
instruction.
One Of the most attractive bills Of the season was
presented on Friday last at the ''LAwRIsoE," 10
the qualification Of large aud intelligent audience
who had assembled by the kind invitation Of the
proprietors to witness IT, The first part consisting
Of ehsrades was deserving Of all praise. We have
seen this kind Of entertainment in every variety
and on numberess occasions, but we do not rcmem-
Der ever to have any that approached this one
either in ingenuity, or excellence Of execution,
much thought in the composition As well patience
aud care in the getting up Of these eharades were
made manifest at every stage Of their performances.

A synopsis OF the proceedings of the he-
publican State Convention Of Massachusetts,
held at Worcester on Thursday Of last week,
together with the address to the people and
the resolutions adopted, appears in another
column. We ask for the address and resolu-
tions the earnest attention Of our readers
They enbody u statement Of political princi-
plies which must command the hearty assent
of ever, lover of liberty.
We cannot do better than TO quote the
following remarks from the Boston Alias, a
journal which gives a cordial support to the
NOMINEES of that convention;
"Thc platform adopted by the Convention
is, in evtry respect, an admirable one, and VIC
heartily accept il IN all it, length aud breadth
Drawn with unusual elegance and precision
carefully guarding against undue caution on
the one 1and, aud cxcesses # speech or sen.
timent On the other, firm, but at the sant
time respectful aud conciliatory. il is an avow.
nj Of Political faith, from which no man Al
the Norh or the South ought to shrink. Il
calm anl digniticd language, II asserts hOstil
/ ity TO slavery extension, while at the SAINT
time il expressly repudiates all desire 10 inter
ferc with slavery rs State institution. Their
is liter-,ly aud absolutely nothing IN the I'D
dress and resolutions to justify the parrot-lik,
cry of i',lisunon," which will lie raised agains
/ il by the blatant aud brainless. But the PEG
ple of Massachusetts are not TO be cheated b.
menningess shouts, or deceived by baselcs
ISLANDERS. The citizen who attempts the sim
Pile truth here plainly but temporarily stated
and who pursues the political course here in
Dictated, has quite as good a claim To I've con
sidered conservative 10 character and nation
al in sentiment, as the tide walters aud tai
gatherers of the government, full as they arr
nf pap aud patriotism"
We think that all the various grades Of 20
litical parties in the old "Bay State" VIII
make hostility to slavery extension All impor
tani element in their political creed, should b
satisfied with the nominations then made
The candidates were taken from all thos
ranks with no other restriction than that o
being sound upon the great question at issue
and which, at the present time, overrides al
others. II any set Of men or politicians lem
their influence TO defeat such ticket at suc
crisis, their claims for sympathy and sup
port will meet with cold response from tn
great mass Of those who prefer principle &
party names, and who desire To give a merit
ell rebuke to the pro-slayery character of tn
present administration. Success to the tick

cooperation with the masses Of our friends in
other states n the formation Of the republican
party Of the Union.
No history, and no experience justify des-
pair Of its becoming national party. Give
il the best energies of the people Of the FREQ
states; give il tile aid Of the wisdom, talent
and eloquence, which are now greatly wasted
in minor contests give it the prospect Of sue
cess, and il will become national party
The struggle, whether brief or protracied, will
not break up the union Of these states; the
more earnest and brief it may be. the less will
be the danger of that. But its result, IL il be
to establish domestic slavery as national in
stituiion will plant the seeds Of decay and dis
solution. And without such determined sirug'
gle the same effect is inevitable.
United action will give strength and mutual
confidence, and will enable us from time i'
time to take sound positions, which can be ev'
erywhere defended and maintained.
In connection with this brief statement o
some Of the public considerations which govern
my course at this time, | will not speak at al
of personal wishes or feelings. Very respect
1 fully, your obcdicnl servant.

cJ-A resolution passed by the Fusion Stale
Convention in Vermont, closes with these
words: '"rhe blow which should sunder the
ties that bind the north with the south cannot
be fully foreseen, yet we venture TO say, lei IL
eOme."--.Ntrporf IN. H) argus.
Our contemporary has made very great
blruder, or has been led into as great an error
ia inputiug the language VI, or tine idea en-
bodied in, the above paragraph to any State
Convention of the "Fusion" party of Yer
mont. II his other quotations exhibit the
same want of accuracy the remarks based on
them are of but little account. We presume
the editor of the Argus does not Intentionally
mean to deal unfairly with his political oppo-
nents, aud are therefore led to point out his
mistake with view to its correction.
The 'fusionists' of Vermont have no inten-
ton, either proximate or remote, Of "sunder-
ing the ties that bind the north with the south. -
On the other hand they are very much deter
mined to do all that in them lies to prevent all
such unwarrantable attempts let them arise
from what quarter they may.

UNITED STATES AND DESMARK.--The government
Of the United States has given notice to the paesh
government that from and after the expiration OF
twelve months from the date Of the notice, it will
refuse to pay the tonnage duties heretofore levied
upon oil vessels passing through the straits Of Esi-
more. These restrictions imposed upon the CON-
MERGE of all nations, and which have so materially
contributed to the revenues Of Denmark, are
deemed by our government unjust and oppressive.
The United States is the first nation that has de-
INJURED to the arrangement, but it is highly proba-
bic that their refusal will DO followed by that e
other powers.
From present indications il would seem that Den
mark will not quietly make the concession deman-
ded, and it has been strongly rumored that Eng.
land and France would back up her refusal in cas'
the former government would side with the Yves
tern powers against Russia. note FROM the Dan
ish minister Of foreign affairs 10 Mr. Bednger, thu
minister Of the United States in Denmark. dated
April l7th 1856, concludes as follows -
"Although the government Of the United State
has taken the initiative In denouncing the treaty
the government Of the king, my august master
cannot give up the hope that propositions will b
made to II to open the way to the conclusion Of I
new treaty Of such nature rs will preserve intac
the commercial relations which have existed unit
now happily between the two nations, and as viii
at the same tiuc, obyatc the deplorable but nee
essary consequence Of the expiration Of the pres
ent treaty This consequence would be that yes
sells OF the United States, In the passage through
the Sound and the Belt, would be put on the foot
! ing Of non-iavorcd nations"

VERMONT CEsTRAL RAILROAD. The annual
meeting Of the Vermont Central Railroad Cor.
poration will take place at Mortified, Vermont,
on the 3lst October and il is hoped that some
plan OF consolidation will be then proposed To
harmonic conflicting interests, similar to that
which the friends Of the Sullivan Railroad are
now endeayoring 10 effect. II the Canada in-
teres,s could be converted into seven per cent
preferred stock, at par, and the Central bonds
next, into six per cent. preferred stock for the
first mortgage, and then FIVE per cent. pro
ferred stock for the second mortgage, (bolh
clsses Of coupons and other debts included, } the
whole line could be entirely freed from debt,
and the common stock would stand much bet
ter chance Of being worth something more than
il dose at the present time. The main thing is
TO get these corporations out Of debt, and il can
be done apparently in no other way Irarelier.
According 10 the above suggested plan, the
common stock is to be crowded out into the
cold, and served last bu, whenever the contest
comes, ii may be found that The franchise is
worth full as much as The lease of the Canada
road, or The mortgages Of the Central. Stock
holders should not trust to proxies at the com
ing election, but go themselves, and for once in
the history Of the corporation elect board thai
will represent them faithfully and properly.

While at the Vermont State Fair at Rutland
last week, we noticed that the Melodeon Man
uiaciories we're well represented four or
live establishments being competitors for the
prizes. Our attention was called to the dis
play Of instruments manufactured by Messrs.
EsTEY & GREEN, Of Brauleboro. Their Me-
lodeons were all fine toned, and well finished
externally. One particularly attracted the at
iention Of the lovers Of music and symme,ri-
cal proportions with an deliberately carved case,
mounted with pearl keyes. Twas ga thing OF
beauty" and would grace the parlor of any
lady in the State. To our ear the tone was
deep, even, rich and void of the roughness that
eharacterizes most reed instruments. We have
no acquaintance with The manufacturers, but
from the appearance Of their instruments as
compared with the others on exhibition, believe
they deserved the first premium, which we hav,
learned was awarded to them Whitehai
