Congress,

Congress met last Monday, and proceed
ed TO business as usual, but both houses
adjourned after a very brief session. On
Tuesday the Presidents message was re-
ceiyed and read, and the usual number or
dered TO be printed. Pending the motion
to print, Mr.. Ciingman of North Carolina
whose reelection at home is now hanging
by the gills, made secession speech
The whole thing was evidently intended for
home consumption, and Senator Crttenden
of Kentucky, made brief but pointed re-
ply, and told the North Carolina gentleman
that Senators holding such sentiments as he
had advanced had better not come there at
all. The Republicans very properly kept
quiet.
In the House a committee of one from
each State has been raised on the state Of
the Union. This committee it is expected
will save the Union. The yeas and nays
were called once on Tuesday, and somt
halt dozen fre-eaters refused to vote, a.
their States were about TO secede. On,
member from South Carolina refused IL
vote, and said his State was out of tn,
Union already, except by mere form o
declaration, and that The delegation from
that State look no interest in the question
pending Git being the committee Of on,
from each State.) These statements of til,
fire-eaters were received with laughter by
the House, and must have been anythin!
but agreeable to the 'plomatisis, (,hall W
call them p from the southern republic
Wondcr if the ministers from France o
England would not take seats in congress
and take their salaries.

The Presidents Message.

The last annual Message which Mr.. Blu
chanan viii have an opportunity to infie,
upon the country, was delivered on Tues
day. II is nine mortal colum5 long, one
half of which is devoted to slavery and Sc
cession. He insults the north by charging
them with all the blame, Of the troubles
growing ont of slavery. lie denies, how
ever, that there is any cause for the disco
luton Of the Union on account OF the cleo
ton of republican president. lie ar
CUES against the right Of secession, and de-
clares the duty Of the executive 10 enforce
the laws. 10 collect the revenue and to de-
fend the forts aud other property of the
United States, in any and all the states, is
plain, and viii be performed by him, in
The event of any interference with those
elements and privileges of the federal gov
ernmeni, by South Carolina, for instance.
But he finds nowhere any power in the
general government TO coerce a state into
remaining in the confederacy; nor can he
think it would be wise TO undertake it,
even were the power granted or inferable.
So long, in other words, as state does not
attempt to seize upon the federal revenues,
or interfere with their collection, and re-
specIs the property of the United States
within her limits, so long does she seem at
liberty, by the constitution and laws, TO in
dulse in the luxury Of seeding. The 9TH
er subjects discussed are comparatively Of
little interest, and as The message would fill
vne entire paper, it is not probable that we
shall publish it entire to the exclusion of
matter which we ae sure ninety-nine Of
every one hundred of our readers would
prefer.

cf the we'll In short time a number Of
men were at work digging about the top Of
the well 10 reach the unfortunate man. =
There seemed 10 be no other way but dig
out the whole well as no one nj first dared
go down into the ruins, After getting down
a short distance an arrangement was made
to remove the dirt from the well in pals
and Mr. Warren, volunteered TO 90 down.
While at work in the well he said he could
hear the buried man breathe, All went to
work with redoubled vigor, but before they
had removed ten paillulls OF sand from over
the head of the man, at least half cart
load poured in through hole in one side.
1t was found TO be impossible TO open the
wen deeper, without removing more dirt
from about the walls. In a short time they
were enabled to work in the well again
with success and soon came to the body Of
the unfortunate man but he was already
dead. If he had been alive whec heard by
Warren, the sand that run in smothered
him. One hand was raised up to protect
his face, while the other was hanging down.
He was not crushed by the brick although
they held him firmly in his place. He
died from suifocation. He was buried in
the well just before eleven o'clock in the
forenoon and was not got out till about
four. He leaves wife and five children
who we're entirely dependent upon him for
support

The Legislature.

The legislature adjourned on Tuesday
morning of last week, as before announced
The bill paying Thomas L. Powers $1,000
for services as superintendent in building
the State House, was amended so as &c
read IS 400 and passed. A large number
of bills were dismissed The bill abolishing
all the personal liberty laws was dismissed,
12j TO So. This bill was brought forward
by Mr.. Thomas, democrat, of West Fair
lee. Afterwards, both Houses unanimously
authorized the committee on revision Of
laws, to inquire if there are any laws on
our statutes conflicting with the laws of the
United States, and report to the next legis-
lature. In the Senate, Mr.. Woodbridge
made the following remarks:
Mr.. President-If there be any statutes
on our statute books which conflict with the
Constitution of the United States, or with
the laws of Congress ii is time the people
of Vermont knew 1t. A resolution was
introduced into this House, but few days
ago, requesting the judiciary committee to
examine the question, but want of time
compelled that committee to leave undone
that duty. 1t is undoubtedly true, Sir, that
there is no State in the Union which is
more conservative in regard to the Consti-
tuition and the union of these states than
Vermont 1t is true, Sir, that the people
of Vermont, the legislature of Vermont,
the Judiciary of Vermont, do not wish and
will not tolerate, upon our statute books any
law that conflicts with the Constitution and
the laws of our general government
No State is more sound on the vexed
questions of the day than Vermont-no
State, sir, so ready and willing 10 guarantee
and protect TO every State in the Union the
rights which are guaranteed and protected
there by the constitution and laws of the
United States. No State in the Union is
more determined TO go for freedom and for
free men, or more determined to have that
territory, which is equal to all, trod only
by the foot Of ireemen, than Vermont is
And, sir, if We have any law which is il
conflict with the constitution and laws o
the United States, let US strike it at one,
from our statute books.
The circus bill was passed in the House
giving the right to any company to perform
in the State, by paying license of 5000
into the State treasury. We believe thi
bill lodged in the Senate, and therefor
does not become law.
No further proceedings were had in rc
lation to State House matters. We sha
probably receive the laws for publicatio
tczt week, and then our readers will get
definite iea OF hat las been done.
On the Who'll, the late legislature is er
) titled 10 much credit for the manner it h;
; discharged its duties. The number of d
5 baters was rot large, but was amply mac
: up by few the who were generously willir
} TO speak on any subject which came up.

DO no, need such laws here in Vermont, but
it Is not best to be bullied into this business

mand any such thing, certainly not unless
they are different from what they used to
be.

Amount,

Several sums Of money have been re-
'ceived from sundry Banks, which we're re-
ported as paid. The said amounts we're
forwarded In consequence of a circular
semitic them asking information.
Thesame remarks apply TO tax on "For
,eign Bank Stocks" OF the amounts he
paid no credit list has yet been made.
So many variations and errors are found
in nearly every department, the books are
sairaccurate, so many vouchers are miss

The Committe reported that when Mr..
Bates moved to Mortified, six or seven
years since, he was supposed to be the
owner of not more $1,000 or $4,000 more
than he was indebted; but that now be has
assigned TO Mr.. Carpenter and Mr.. Bel
KNAPP, two of his bondsmenproperty valued
by him at $4,000 or more, and estimated
by the assignees to be worth at least $780,
900. What this property cost does not
appear. 1t appears, further, that said
Treasures habits of living have been
somewhat expensive, and he has been en-
gagged in many speculaions, some of which
have been unfortunate aud disastrous In
one OF these relating to a patent, it appears
he invested $4,000, and some proof tended
to show nearly $4,000.
The assignment named above is to iden-
fifty the assignees from liability as bonds.
