BosroN AND WORCESTER RAILRoAD.-The
annual meeting of the stockholders of this cor
poration was held in Boston, Wednesday. The
report of the directors, of which we have pub
lished an abstract, was accepted without dis
cussion. The old Board of Directors was
unanimously reelected, as follows -
Genery Twichel, Daniel Denny, Nathaniel Ham
mond, benjamin +. White, Emory Washburn, Israel
Lombard Peter T. Homer, Isaac Emery, and d.
Waldo Lincoln.
Hon. Emory Washburn called attention to
the petition of committee of the Agricultural
Railroad Corporation, asking for the appoint
ment of committee to confer with them on
the propriety of giving aid for the completion
of that road. He explained that the Agricul-
tural Railroad running from birmingham,
had been built to Northboro' at an expense of
$500, 10000, and it would require S300,000 more
to finish it to the line of the Fitchburg Rail-
road, between Shirley and Fitchburg. He
moved that a committee be appointed as asked
for, with directions TO report at future meet.
ing Remarks were made in opposition to the
appointment of G committee, by several gentle
men. Mr.. Geo Morey favored the annulling
of the contract with the Agricultural Rail
road, even if handsome sum had to be paid
to procure that result The motion to indei-
nitely postpone the whole subject prevailed by
an unanimous vote. In answer to inquiry,
the President said the Directors would not OBJ
ject to the award respecting the division of re-
ceipts with the Western Railroad, although it
was not entirely satisfactory. BY that award
they received for last years business within
$4,000 of what they claimed, and $4,000
more than the Western road was willing to al
low them

New York, Saturday, jan Is. 1853.
To the Hon j. II. Mason, Chairman OF the Sc,
lect Committee Gf tie Senate Of the United
States.
Sal am in receipt of the summons of
vour committee, and shall comply with your
requisitons to the extent of presenting myself
before your honorable body at the appointed
hour. But, and l mean no disrespect to your
committee, to the chairman, nor to the honor
able Senate by whose act the committee has
an existence, l shall not answer its interoga-
tories. As a citizen of the Republic, faithful
to its traditions, its genius, and its laws, pro-
test against the inquisatorial character of
tribunal that, i'll the exercise of its merely nor
NAL functions, shrinks and degrades its wit
nesses into "informers." Powers, such as
those with which your committee have been
clothed by the hasty action Of the honorable
| Senate, are not incident to a government or

| tent Judiciary, nor do / find in the Constitu-
ton any warrant for their exercise by your

| until it shall have been made apparent, the
Judiciary branch of our government is jmpo-
tent to reach and punish the special crimes
| aimed at by the Senate.
| BY the resolution which gave birth TO your
committee, it will be in order Tor any commit
tee to make inquisltion with view to further
legislation against interstate or other conspir-
acies against government Holding to the
constitution, and to the mmunites and priv.
leges of citizens protected by its safeguards, |

myself, to ignore as usurpations the exercise OF
unconstitutional powers in matter of import
so grave and tar-reaching as the present. I'm
rebuked cncroachments of power to-day be-
come the presidents of tyranny tomorrow.
Not therefore, because of disrespect to your
honorable committee, and not of contempt for

to the constitution and to the people, do here
and now and in this wise protest against and
refuse to be obedient 10 the power OF your COM

Political.


The citizens of Rhode Island who are mot
Democrats, and who are opposed to the regu-
lar Republican nominations for state officers,
held convention, Wednesday, and nominated
the following state ticket -
For Governor-Col. William Sprague, of Proyi-
dence
For Attorney General-Thomas X, King, of North
Providence.
For Secretary of state-John r. Bartlett, of Prov
idence
For General Treasurer-samuel A. Parker, of
Newport.
1t is confidently stated that the vote of Hin.
ois in the Chicago convention will be cast for
Abraham Lincoln for President. Of the Re-
publican delegates from Iowa, majority are
said to be in favor of the nomination of Hon.
Simon Cameron.
Hon. James S. Green, Senator from Mis-
souri,, is charged with using his influence to
elect delegation in Missouri, to Charleston
in favor of Dickinson of New York, for Presi-
dent, and himself Vice President. Douglas
friends are sanguine, however, that the major
ity of the Missouri delegates will be for him.
Candidates for the Vice Presidency at
Charleston multiply. The name of Ho
Isaac Davis is neither out of sight nor out Of
mind. The Boston Courier names Hon. War
rem Winslow of North Carolina. He is de-
scendent of the Pilgrim Winslows.
The mortality of the candidates before the
Cincinnati Convention in 1856, appears in the
fact that Lynn Boyd of Kentuck j. C. Dob
bin of North Carolina, General Quitman of
Mississippi, General Rusk of Texas, and
Aaron V. Brown of Tennessee, who were pre-
scented as candidates by their respective States,
and obtained large support for the Vice Pres
idency, are now all dead
