VERMONT. SET RIGHT.

LUDLOW, W., Nor. Is, 1856.
To the Editor of the National Era:
noticed in the Boston TFarelIer, few DAYS
since, a statement that the bill in the Vermont
Legislature, "For the relief of emigrants from
Vermont in Kansas, was defeated in the House
of Representatives, by quite large..vote, on a
motion to dismiss.
Now, my dear sir, in order to correct any false
impression which that statement may make,
here subjoin the vote in the House, as given
on the third reading Of the bill.
November 1.-THE House resumed the
consideration of the bill. The yeas and nays
being demanded, were taken, and were as fol-
ows-yeas III, nays 90"
Whatever may be the fate of the bill hereaf-
ter, would not have it understood that the
friends OF Kansas and Liberty in Vermont are
disposed to say by their votes that we have no
right to aid emigrants in our Territories, who
have left their native free soil, and gone, ike
honest men, to settle on the Western lands of
our Union, when they are overtaken by fam
inc, by marauding parties of Indians, or (what
is worse) by the bloodthirsty patroles of Presi-
dent Pierce's DemOcrdcy-minions of the Stare
Pocer.

winter, place in the hands of the Executive of
their State ten, twenty, or one hundred thou
sand dollars, according to the size of the State,

ecutive, in case of any particular emergency or

he generally observed decorum in debate. On

his opinions he was yielding and practicable,

tious, and, while in genteel society, appeared to
understand all the decencies and proprieties of
it; but, in his heart, he preferred low society,
and sought it as often as possible. He would
hunt In the pine woods of Fluvanna, with
overseers, and people of that description, liv-
ing in camp for a fortnight at time with
out change of raiment. / have often been
astonished at his command of proper language;
how he attained knowledge of it never could
find out, as he read so little and conversed lit
tie with educated men. After all, it must be
allowed that he was our leader in the measures
of the Revolution, in Virginia In that respect,
more was due to him than any other person.
If we had not had him, we should probably have
got on pretty well, as you did, by number of
men OF nearly equal talents, but he left us all
far behind. His biographer sent the sheets of
his work to me as they were printed, and at the
end asked for my opinion. told him it would
be question hereafter, whether his work should
be placed on the shelf of history or of panegyr-

ing Gen. Jackson President. he is one of the
most unfit men know of for such place. He
has had very little respect for laws or Constitu-
tons, and is, in fact, an able military chief
His passions are terrible. When was Pres-
dent of the Senate, he was Senator; and he
could never speak, on account of the rashness
of his feelings. l have seen him attempt it re-
peatedly, and as often choke with rage. His
passions are no doubt cooler now; he has been
much tried since l knew him, but he is dan

ly disgraced. he assured her that he only felt
paternal love for her, and willingly renounced
his marital rights. The child was born, and
Anna went as nurse to Moscow. A few
months afterwards, the legal husband hears of
the dissolute life she is leading there, and
undertakes journey on foot to Moscow. He
finds the stories true, becomes exasperated, and
is in the act of striking her, when she falls on
her knees, and begs him to forgive her. The
old coachman lets his hand sink, and commands
her to leave the room. She leaves. He takes
razor from his pocket, and cuts his throat"

WOODSTOCK, Nor. IA, 1856

WOODSTOCK, Nor. IA, 1856.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
You state in your last issue that you have
yet heard no returns at all reported from this
State, of the election. That it is so, is not at
all strange; our papers would disdain to dis
grace the State and themselves by giving such
returns. But /, being already in disgrace, and
almost slave, can lose nothing by doing you
this little favor. In this county, Fremont re-
ceived five votes. all told, and they were given
at my precinct. Tickets were not distributed
as they should have been through the county.
Some staid at home, fearing no doubt the fiery
ordeal through which they expected to pass,
for the campaign opened with perfect hurri.
cane, and continued boisterous for several
months. We had the reign of terror; but as
the election approached, it became more calm.
Indeed, l never saw more quiet election.
Everybody seemed to be in good humor, and
Just as men should be on such occasions We
possibly should have cast thirty votes, had the
fear of a disturbance been removed, and our
tickets distributed. But it is hard to tell how
any of our people will vote ON any occasion.
Their guilihiity is proverbial, and the Demo
cratic gull-trap is always successful. AS sam
pie, will give you this: One of our voters told
another, in sweet German accent; THAT he
voted for Buchanan to keep George Rye out,
for he goes for the white boys marrying NIT te
black gals
see nothing in the late canvass to disheart-
en- the friends Of Liberty, but, On the other
hand, much to cheer. l don't look upon the
late success of the Democracy, alias Slaveoc-
racy, as victory, but as defeat The hand
writing is upon the wall, that unless they change
from Pro-Slavery to Anti-Slavery, their doom is
sealed, The late contest has certainly decided
which of the three parties outside of the Dem
oeratic party shall live, (although not intended)
which is great gain and the Republican
party, having the vitality, will absorb all that
is Anti Slavery from the dead carcases of the
Wing and Know Nothing parties, and the Dem
ooratic party all that is Pro-Slavery. Every
mask, think, will be taken off, the lines will
be fairly drawn, and then no hberty.loving man
need fear the result. Multitudes Of the enemy
now believe, and declare it, that our success is
certain in 1860. This, of itself, will 70 far to
insure it. But, judging from the manner in
which the Democrats conducted the late can
vass, it is manifest that either the shareholders
or non-slaveholders, Liberty or Slavery men,
sre to be deceived. will not use the words
South and North, because it would be a mis-
homer; and hope you will discard their use
also.

vote in Virginia is this. DIR. Thoburn, of
Wheeling, informs me, by letter, that there

LATE GRADUATE OF BowDoIN COLLEGE.
Died in Mobile, Alabama.


Died in Mobile, Alabama
All alone!
No kindred ear caught his siiAed moan,
No friend of his early youth was there,
To repeat to the absent his dying prayer.
No tear, no groan,
From a stricken parent, widowed and lone,
Fell OH hts pillow, or reused his ear,
When the dew-damp told the dea,h-angel near.
His life is told
Earth may no longer the deathless part hold,
Nor conhne the intellectual fire,
Which sateless ambition kinded higher.
Burning there,
Till the nervous fret-work was all laid bare,
And the restless spirit, longing for light,
Shvered its earlh-chains, and sped its flight
The clay rests well
marble slab shows where he fell
Did he love! Ali, yes his heart was warm,
Bravely ii breasted adverztys storm;
And charity's veil
He threw DER the shoulders of error pale;
While friendship gowed in his kindly breast
Ardent and strong, like his souls unrest
1t is done
LIES early noon saw his setting SUM-
The ties which bound him 10 earth are riven;
The dust 10 its kindred dust is given.
The soul has gone!
To expand in the light of a heavenly dawn;

THE MILLION KINGS.

From North and South, and East and West,
whirlwind shakes the hearts Of men;
Oh, ancient nations, and opprest,
Ifitis not beyond your ken,
Look here, and see how strong they be,
The councils of the million kings;
While from the rive to the sea,
The cry of their dominion rings
The smith beside his anvil stands,
And while he strikes the heavy blow,
Thinks OF the tyrant's Redeemed bands,
That bound our Freedom once so low.
From glowing bars fly burning stars,
And faster still the strokes descend;
For well he knows his battering, jors
Oppression to the wide worlds end.
But one among the million he,
Yet all the million are alike
In kingly power; and shall the free
Be slaves themselves, nor dare 10 strike,
In this their hour of kingly power,
Such blows on every prisoning "pen,"
AS shall, Gods blessing on the hour,
Transform its chattels into men.

THE RESULT IN MICHIGAN.

LANSISOJ 4NOCcHOeT luJ lcOOs
To the Editor Of the National Era:
The result in this State is most cheering TO
the Republican cause. Michigan has spoken
in thunder tones her condemnation of the pol
icy ESQ disastrous to Freedom) of the Admins
tration of Franklin Pierce, and has repudiated.
by majority Of not less than fifteen thousand,
the false doctrine of Squa!ter Sovereignty, to-
gether with General Cass, its author.
She ranges herself by the side of Ohio. Hi.
nois, and Wisconsin-the offspring with her of
the glorious Ordinance Of l7S7-and proclaims
her Interchangeable belief in the wisdom of that
sacred Ordinance, and its adaptation TO the
vast territories of the West.
Where all have done nobly it would seem
almost unjust to single out few for especial
praise.
We cannot, however, refrain from speaking
of our able and eloquent Governor, Kinsley S.
Bingham, who has proved himself a host to
the cause of Freedom in this contest; and
blast from whose bugle horn
Is worth a thousand men,
The next Legislature-seven-eieh which
is Republican will elect stanch opponent
OF Slavery Extension as Senator, to supply the
place of General Cass
Our Representatives in Congress will present
an unbroken phalanx on the side of Freedom.
With Howard, Waldron, and Walbridge, who
are all reelected, the readers of the Era are
already acquainted.
The gentleman elected over George W. Peck
is Hon. De Witt C. Leach, present State Libra
rian. Mr.. Leach is young man of talent,
industry, and integrity-is emphatically a self
made man and in his political career has,
from the first, been identified with the Anti.
Slavery cause. Truly, yours, VIDEx.
GoRHAN, N. H., Nor. g. 1856.
To the Editor Of the National Era:
Our hope for the triumph of Republican
principles, in the election of John c. Fremont,
Is probably disappointed; but, if beaten, we
are not conquered. With renewed strength
and holy zeal, gathered from such trophies as
we have won, we will urge our cause with all
the natural and constitutional means afforded.

LAST LETTER OF HIGHwAYMAN.-A notori-
Gus highwayman of California, known as Tom
Bell, was lately captured and executed few
hours afterwards. In the interval, he wrote
the following letter to his mother, who resides
in Tennessee. 1t goes to prove that there ia
something of the angel left, even in the vilest.
Let the young take the warning which he gives
SAN JOAQUIN, Oct. 4, 1856.
DEAR MOTHER: AS i am about to make NV
exit to another country, take this opportunity
to write you a few lines. Probably you may
never hear from me again if not, hope we
may meet where parting is no more.
In my prodigsl career in this country, have
always recollected your fond admonitions, and
if / had lived up to them, probably would not
have been in my present condition; but, dear
mother, although my fate has been cruel one,
yet / have no one to blame but myself Give
my respects to all my old youthful friends.
Tell them to beware of bad associations, and
never to enter into any gambling saloons, for
that has been my ruin.
If my old grandmother is living, remember
me to her. With these remarks bid you fare
we'll forever.
Your only boy, Ton.
Bell was about 20 years of age, educated,
and formerly physician. He went to Cali
fornia in l849.
PRoDuCrs OF TExAs.-The staple products
of Texas appear to be as varied es the area of
the State is extensive. Cotton, sugar, corn,
wheat, wool, all are grown in large quantities
in different sections. AS regards the yield of
sugar, it is undoubtedly much larger now than
it was in 1850. In fact it is steadily increasing,
and must continue to do so, as large part of
the soil is admirably adapted to the culture.
The cotton crop augments still mere, while, in
the Western and Northern counties, in add
ton to the usual grain products, we observe
there is considerable yield of wool. In 1850
the census showed the State to contain
l0O,53O sheep. A recent number of the Hous-
ton Telegraph says that within year past be-
tween four and Eve hundred bales Of wool,
averaging fonr hundred pounds to the bale,
have been received there.-ExckaRgs.
