Vermont and the Crisis.

Various rumors are in circulation through
GU. the state, and differing opinions are ex-
pressed by the press ard by individuals, in
regard to an extra session Of the legislature.
for the purpose Of assuring the general
government of the support and active as
sistance of the state in putting down rebel
lion. ard in executing the laws.
We do not understand that there exists
any present necessity for such a measure
The loyalty of the citizens of Vermont to the
constitutional and national Union, is well
understood. No state will more promptly
respond to call for aid by the general gov
eminent than Vermont, whenever such a call
shall be made.
We understand that the governor, by vir-
tue Of the authority vested in him, will, on
the requisition of the president, call into SER
vice the uniformed militia, and also call for,
accept and organize, as militia, any required
number Of volunteers, without waiting for
the action Of the legislature. Meantime,
should any exiscncy arise, rendering an ex-
ira session of the general assembly necessary
or expedient, in view of the national crisis
he will not shrink from the responsibility of
converting it.

Col. WARDRor.-lt seems to be the gen

CALEDCNIAN, is a fictitious person. AS pert.
nent to this subject, and vet without throw

that Col. Wardrop booked himself at the s.
Johnsbury House from New Bedford:
"7roops to be raised and sent to Hayhinq

QUESTIONS are shortly to be made upon The
governors Of this state and Maine, for troop,

currently reported about town this forenoon
that Col. Wardrop of thi s city has been il

very national institution and to surround
it with new defenses. While even Russia
joins the grand march of the world towards
liberty and proclaims the right of the laborer

that the workingmen of America are going

The Presidents Message.

The Presidents special message to Con-
gress was alluded to last week BY telegraph.
In reference to it the Boston Journal SAYS
ut reiterates in part the views expressed in
the annual message, that state has no right
to withdraw from the Union, and that all he
can do is to protect the public property
which he is determined to do. For further
dealing with the emergency, he relies on the
action Of Congress. He makes no specific
recommendations, beyond trying the conser-
yative power of time, and one more compro-
mise 'by letting the North have exclusive
control Of the territory above certain line
and give Southern institutions protection be-
low that line lie briefly rehearses the con.
nection of the administration with Major
Andcrsons movement. which is fully JUST
fled. 1t will thus be seen that the document
is rather insufficient fer the crisis, but mas
much as it evnces more frnlness than the
previous message and is completely right, so
tar as 1t goes, on the secessionists, it has Civ
en- the latter great offence and mcasurably
satisfied the Union men of all parties as be-
lnS as good as could have been expected.

The Voice of New York on Treason,
THE RING OF THE TRI-E NET.I

The news from Charleston has knit all mar
ties at Albany together as one man, and the
word compromise is no longer spoken by
any. AT the opening of the legislature. on
Friday, speaker Littlcjohn took the floor in
the Assembly and offered resolutions dec)ar.
ing that whereas treason, as defined by m,
constitution of the United States, exists in
one or more Of the states of this confederacy
and whereas war has been virtually declared
by South Carolina, it is resolved by the leg
lslature of New York, profoundly impressed
with the value Of the Union and determined
to preserve it unimpaired, to tender to the
federal government whatever aid NAV be re-
CURED In men and money to enable it to en-
force the laws, uphold its authority, and pu,
down treason against the nation. The reso-
lutions also compliment the president on the
tone of his late special message. and terJa,
thanks to the Union men of the border slave
states. The reading in the House produced
tremendous applause, which could not be s.

were instantly adopted by III ayes against >

or two spent socially, the company repaired
to the dining halls where they did ample
justice TO the beautifully spread tables of

of this gathering was to give benefit to the
new landlord, and manifest by their presence
and more substantially, that our citizens ap-
preciated the efforts of Col Harvey to keep a
good respectable hotel-a great improvement
on what has been done in that place of late.
