THE ONLY CASE FOR VIGILANCE COMMIT
TEEs.-The Massachusetts, 'sDisunion Com
mittee" published call for meeting of
their bod in Boston, on Wednesday last.
''The special object Of the meeting was a
conference with committee Of the Massa-
chusetts Anti-Slavery Society, as to the ex-
pediency of National Disunion Convention,
at some Western locality this autumn. -
We do not like REGULATORS, "Vigilance
Committees" or other self-appointed exc
cutors of justice, but if such things ever are
to occur, we commend this organization to
their special attention. It is known there
is no za,0 to reach such, as the founders of
our government could not imagine the de-
gree Of baseness required to make "dis-
unionist" It is therefore peculiarly ap-
propriafe that the people in their primary
capacity, if they must try an apprentice
hand upon something, take the traitors in
training. It is the last card held by pa
triotism when revolution begins. -Bazti-

THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD.
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1857.

The celebration of the eighty-Grst ami
versary of American Independence was OBJ
served in this village in accordance with the
arrangements previously announced. Quite
large number of ladies and gentlemen
from the surrounding country was present,
evincing the deep attachment which our peo-
pie still entertain for the peculiar national
institutions which have been handed down
to them by their liberty-loving forefathers.
The Introductory Address to the reading Of
the Declaration of Independence, by DR.. P.
W. HAWKINS, was both appropriate and
eloquent The Grafton, by BARNES Comp
TON, Esq, was really an effort, in matter
and manner, that would have reflected great
credit on an older head and more experience
ed public speaker. The ceremonies of the
occasion were commenced with prayer by
by Rev. Mr.. HENN1NG.
We should be. glad to publish both the
address and grafton in our columns for the
benefit of those of our readers who were pre-
vented from hearing them, as many doubt
less were by the necessity Of attending tt
their wheat harvest.

WASHINGTON News. -We gather the fol.

WASHINGTON NEws.-We gather the fol-
lowing items of news from different sources
Lord Napier has communicated to Secre-
tary Cass disavowal of the cession to Eng
land of the Islands in Panama Bay. He
also denies the allegation that the Chincha
Islands we're conveyed to British subjects,
or have been placed under a British
and French protectorate. He furthermore
disclaims generally the policy of territorial
acquisition in or near this Continent, but
admits that her Britannia Majesty's Gov
eminent will oppose the monopoly by any
power of the rights and privileges, CONNER
cial Or Of other description, rightfully ap-
pertaining to the general use of the world.
The government of Venezuela, in refus-
ing the demands Of Mr.. Eames, in the Bird
Island affair, appeals from him to his Gov
eminent, and says it will continue the cor
respondence through it's Minister at Wash
ington.
The President has offered the appoint
ment of Surveyor General of Utah to Colo
mel Jack Hays, to settle the question of set
tiers rights, and to apportion the govern
ment lands.
The inhabitants Of Utah do not exceed
So, 900, two-thirds of whom are women
They are principally English foreigners
and unaccustomed to the use of arms. The
Government anticipates no open conflict with
the United States forces. The weekly train
from California to Utah would afford rein
forcements if necessary.
The affairs of Kansas have proved the
subject of Cabinet deliberation since the re.
ceipt of the resolutions of the Georgia and
Mississippi State Conventions, condemnatory
of the course of Governor Walker AL
though his conduct is not entirely approved
by the administration, it will firmly sustain
him, believing that he acted with wisdom
and Justice in advising submission Of the
Constitution to vote of the people, and tina
he thus followed safe line of policy. The
Southern attacks are considered ungracious
in view of the fact that he was sent to Kan
sas by an administration pledged to the de-
fence of Southern rights, and opposed to thu
Topeka Constitution, and in conformity will
which policy Governor Walker is now claim
ed to be acting. The views of the admins
tration, carefully elaborated, will, there il
reason to believe, soon be officially promul
gated.

The vote in all the border counties of

ToBACco.-There has been considerable fall
ing Oft in the active demand for Tobacco which
prevailed since the opening of the Spring, and
shippers who have bought largely show an indis-
position to operate further until they ascertain the
result ofthe shipments purchased at the high rates
which ruled through the season. Large shipments
from this and other parts will be likely to place
fair stock in the continental markets, and the
tprices hitherto realized do not encourage further
purchases. The bulk of the sales of MARYLAND
and Ohio this week has been mostly of medium
grades, taken for the French contract. We do
not alter our quotations for either Maryland or
Ohio but we observe that prices are rather more
in favor of the buyer than heretofore. The re-
ceipt of Marylynd Tobacco this week have fallen
off, but no stock is allowed to accumulate, the re-
ceipts being taken at former prices, viz: Mary
land Brown Leaf, as in quality. $9aSl0; Maryland
crop, inferior short seconds, S7.50aS8.50; brown
leafy, Sl0aSll; and extra at Slla$15. Bay To-
bacco comes in slowly, but the receipts are taken
readily at former rates. viz: Tips or tails $9a$1l
seconds Sl2asl5; yellow spangled S3Oas35, and
fine yellow S35sS45. The sales of Ohio Tobacco
include some 400 hbds., which found purchasers
at former rate The inspections of the week are
