The special town meeting, on Wednesday
afternoon, 30th inst, to consider what meas
ures the inhabitants would adopt relative to
procuring the quota of soldiers required by
this town, was quite fully attended, considering
the very busy season of the year, with farm
ers.
Hon. c. r. Aver, of Cornish, chanced to be
present, and addressed the meeting for about
one-half an hour, in one of his patriotic speech
es. Never were more patriotic words spoken.
or listened to with deeper interest than on that
occasion. At the close of his remarks vote
of thanks was given, and motion made to of
fer 500 bounty for each soldier who should
enlist TO fill our quota, and the vote passed
without opposition. We shall get our quota
full in few days.
The town Of Denmark held their town meet
ing a few days ago, and voted to raise 5000 and
pay it to men, the balance of their quota (12)
leaving those who had enlisted into the 10th
regiment, prior to the meeting, without any
bounty, and at the same time claiming them
as a part of their quota. 1t is to be hoped
that the town viii not refuse to grant those
ptucky boys, who volunteered without prom
ise of bounty, the small pittance of 800 which
they so richly deserve. May there be 'sober

Anti-SIavery "reminiscences.

Miss Martineau, in a late number of McMil-
lan's magazine, gives some account of her con-
versation when in America, in 1885, with Chief
Justice Marshall and Mr.. Madison, then the
surviving representatives of the old ideas of
Virginia.
Miss Martineau says of Chief Justice Mar
shall of Virginia:
When l knew the Chief Justice he was
eighty-three-as bright-eyed and warm-heart-
ed as ever, while as dignified Judge as ever
filled the highest seat in the highest court of
any country. He said he had seen Virginia
the leading State for half his life: he had seen
her become the second, and sink to be Il
think the fifth.
Worse than this there was no arresting her
decline If her citizens did not put an end to
slavery, and he saw no signs of any intention
to do so, east OF the mountains, at least. He
had seen whole groups of estates, populous in
his time, lapse into waste. He had seen agri-
culture exchanged for human stock-breeding,
and he keenly felt the degradation.
The forest was returning over the fine old
estates, and the wild creatures, which had not
been seen for generations, were reappearing !;
numbers and wealth were declining, and edu-
cation and manners were degeneratng. 1t
would not have surprised him to be told that
on that soil would the main battles be fought,
when the critical day should come which he
foresaw.
10 Mr.. Madison, despair was not so easy.
lie had cheerful and sanguine temper, and if
there was one thing rather than another which
he had learned to consider secure. it was the
Constitution which he had so large share in
making Yet he told me that he was nearly in
despair, and that he had been quite so till the
Colonization Society arose.
Rather than admit to himself that the South
must be laid waste by servie war, or the
whole country by a civil war, he stroye to be-
lieve that millions of negroes could be carried
to Africa, and so got rid Of need not speak
of the weakness Of such hope. What con-
Germs us now is that he saw and described to
me, when / was his guest, the dangers and
horrors of the state of society in which he
was living.
He talked more Of slavery than of all other
subjects together, returning to il morning,
noon and night. He said that the clergy per-
verted the Bible, because it was altogether
against slavery; that the colored population
was increasing faster than the white; and that
the state of morals was such as barely permit
ted society to exist.
or the issue of the conflict, whenever it
should occur, there could, hesaid, be no doubt.
A society burdened with slave system could
make no permanent resistance to an unencum-
bered enemy; and he was astonished at the
fanatacism which blinded some Southern men
to so clear certainty.
Such was Mr. Madison's opinion in 1885,"
