MIR. WALTON'S SPEECH.

~ ~ " AIN 4N . 81 i4iAHll
Mr.. EDrroR: IL have Just finished the
reading of this speech, and wish to do what
fear your dolcacy will prevent your doing,
which is to call the attention Of your readers to
its superior merit. Its research is not surpris-
ing to those who know the diigcnt industry of
its author. But | find that the high gratif-
cation Of many Of his friends is mingled with
happy surprise to find Mr. Walton so IA
miliarly conyersant with our constitutional
history, and such a master of legal distnc-
tions that only strong lawyers dare to grapple
with To me, who, perhaps have known
better his powers, it is not so much of a sur
prise. In my Judgment, his reasoning is
worthy Of any jurist or lawyer he has dem
onstratcd that the whole construction of the
Constitution upon the subject of Slavery has
been reyoutionzed and that tho bred Scott
decision is both novel and fraught with the
most startling and far-rcaching consequences.
| am profoundly convinced that his discrim-
mating, acute and scathing criticism of Pres
ident Bucharan's positions in regard to the
bred Scott decision is sound and that these
doctrines of the President oyince, beyond
doubt, that he has surpassed all his predeces-
sors in his bringing subscrviency to the Slave
/ Ohgarchy, and that he does not hesitate, in
most cxtrome doqmas Ana ! on, Ill I'iv

4 We understand that a considerable,
number Of young men Of this village
and vicinity, have recently formed them
selves into Military Company, known
as the Light Guards" They have the
advantage Of thorough drilling, and it is
said enter into it with that zest and thor
oughness which if persisted in will make
their organization satisfaction to them
selves and pride to our village. We
hope that before long they will make
their appearance abroad, uniformed,
armed and equipped.
Tho religious interest in this place,
to which we have before referred, eontin-

would contribute toward the su" cess Of the
society any more literally than for the
past three years.
The city of Versennes was literally
represented in the animal meeting in jan
uary, 1857 it secured the election of
President and Secretary, the two most
important officers of the society it had
the means in its own hands, by the proper
course, 10 have secured the fair at that
place.
Its representatives in the Managers
meeting went forward to assist in making
list Of premiums, appointing commit
tees, &c., and aferward withdrew their
support from the society and assisted in
the formation of new and rival society.
Of the propriety Or justice Of this we
have nothing to say. The Fair of the
society thus organized was highly sue
cessful one and creditable to Addison
County.
The Fair held by the old society at
Middlebury was equally meritorious, and
we doubt not that each society would be
able to hold as successful exhibitions again
| in 1858. Still we should deem it much
better that the effort, money and time ex-
pended upon two Fairs in this county be
expended upon single exhibition. We
believe it would promote the interest o.
all concerned to far greater extent Il
this could be accomplished. United, con
centrated effort is what is every way desi
rable, and what would promote the well
being aud honor of Addison County, whicl
has most assuredly the material, if prop
erly used, to give the most honorable ex
hibition of any county in the Unite
States
We have no taste for jealouses or re
ordinations. :" Let the dead bury thei
dead" We hope the Managers will ye
conceive of some plan whereby the tw
societies may be feasibly unite q
while their honor is still preserved
We think the best minds in eac
society are with US in this hope, and W
believe that if the officers of the two 81
cietios will accomplish thus much the
will earn the thanks of the while con
mun!ty, except it may be those Of prove
bal grumblers.
