a.lvoiated the motion, contending' that the Section was unconstitutional, and aa amended by the Cuniniitlcc or the Senate (providing that where iIir cleriions are held in the several Slate by Districts, ithe Districts shall bo single mid contiguous,) in point of fact operating on a irt of the Males sua not the hoiei nol applying to Ihosc State which adopted the Gen-j eral stein.

Mr. Huntington opposed the aincnd-i Iment, and advoc ated llie original Section of the House; the elections in all the Slates to be made by 'single and contiguous Districts.) He went into the Constitutional argument, contending that under thei Constitution relative to the lime, place and manner of holding elections Congress bad the right lo exercise a full or a partial power over the subject. Mr.

The motion was laid on the The Army appropriation Dill was aa-ruin taken up in Committee and Mr. McKcon at some length advocated! the proposed reduction of ihe Army, and replied to Mr. Cusliing, contending thai there was no immediate pros- pect of war, that England with her whole Irish popula lion in a state cl niiim excitement, with her three mil lions aching for a radical change in her embarrassed as she is with her wars with China and India, being compelled to keen a (orce of 24 regiments! in Canada l-rtpthe I' tuple tluicn.iHu having any thing' but a good understanding wiih France was not in it: condition and it was nut policy for her logo lo war wiih; the United States, and that it was only necessary for us to maintain our army on the basis of a Peace establishment.

Mr. Saltonstall made an ineffectual effort! to get in a resolution, providing for taking up the tariff bill for discussion on llie day succeeding that on which the debate on llie army bill shall cease. A letter from Aithur Middleton, accompanying the presentation of a fine portrait of the discoverer of ihei continent called alter Amerigo Vespuci, was referred to! the committee on the library. A resolution prevailed, allowing the committee allowing inc commiitee orr j.tLe ol Sib I frasitn to inform you of the doings of the Radical portion of the Abolitionists in this state, who held Slate Convention for the purpose of making nominations for State Otiiccr ui Broukfield yesterday. Your readers may not all recollect that state convention for the same purpose waa hidden at Randolph the lu'tli anl 17ih day of February last.

The meeting -ng small, and llie state not fairly represented, it wa-thought best not to nuke a nomination at that time. However, a state committee wa appointed, and a vote parsed, that thev Lc instructed lo all another Conven tion at "Cuh't Fond" in Brookfn lstand 21 diys 'of June for the same object. The Cuaimiltee disregard-eA iIn; wishes of thai and called the Convcn-tiiui tit Centre, place ofuotone half llie importance, as the other, and for only one day. The only reason that lias as yet assigned for not calling ihe Contention at "Colt't Pond," that appears at all plausible is, that the lion. President, and chief orator of the Ran-jdolpli meeting ha been of lain somewhat predisposed jto insanity and that he might hot put an end to hi hitherto valuable life by jumping into the pond, it wa thought best by the committee not to put any temptation in his way, and therefore they very prudently called ii at Brookfiehl Centre.

It may be well to state that the gentleman alluded to above, since the took 2oz Laudanum, on two successive davs, but, it did not have Ihe desired effect. He was not present yesterday, bnt his place was more than made good by his 1 brother llie lion. Ilrma IV. If. The convention was organized at half past 10 o'clock A.

M. by appointing M. J. W. Hale of Brandon, President R.

Thrall of Rutland, and Edward Eastman, of Randolph, Secretaries. There were only four Counties represented, viz: Rutland County had only two 'delegates; Windsor Co. two Washington Co. five; jand the remainder were from Randolph and Brookfield, There were not more than forty present during the former part of the day, and not more than twice that nuinher during the day spectators. The necessary romuiittees being appointed ihe meeting adjourned till two o'clock P.

M- Notice was given out that a dinner was provided for all present at a private jlioiisc nearby. Having received so polite an invitation, nve thought it our duly not to decline, so favorable an opportunity for getting a dinner, but followed the crowd, expecting lo find a table groaning under the many luxuries of life. Upon our arrival we found a I small quantity of "ginger-bread and chtese," spread out upon a small table before us, and that was all greedily devoured by those far more lucky than ourselves, before we could arrive at il. Being thus disappointed, we pre vailed upon a lew menus to go lo the tavern, winch was nearly three fourths of a mile off. After waiting about half an hour the landlord announced to our inexpressible delight that "dinner was ready." Not a single member of the convention belcre our arrival had made an application for dinner, aud the usually good nalured host, who was only a few moments before curs ing the miserly abolitionists, was now bowing and scraping to us, with a smile upon his countenance, and as he came around the table and gathered in to his money drawer, some five or six quarters of a dollar, from our scanty purses, said, "lie guessed the abolitionist were about right after all." The meeting being again assembled, the chairman invited all who were willing to enroll ihcir names as political abolitionists to take a part in the deli lerations Some forty names were obtained.

Many not wishing to identify themselves with the meeting were not enrolled There was not present at any time, more than twelve persons that did not reside in Randolph or Brookfield The committee (which consisted of two from each coun ty represented) made the following report For Gov ernor Charles K. Williams, of Rutland For Lieut. Gov. Edward D. Barber of Middlebury For Treasurer, Harry Hale, of Chelsea.

The vote upon the reception nf the report being taken and decided in the affirm ative, a vote was called for and put upon each candidate separately. The nomination of W. for Gov. and II. for Trtas'r was declared to be unanimous.

The vote upon Barber for Lieut. Gov. was not at all unanimous, and it was a matter of doubt with Tany whether he received a majority or not. However be that as il may, the chairman declared him to be nominated. Resolutions were introduced and passed, approving the course pursued by Hon.

J. Q. Adams and Joshua R. Giddings upon the Creole case and the right of petition, A resolution was introduced by a member nearly as follows "Resolved, That we cordially approve of the the manly and independent course of Messrs Slade and Mattocks the two distinguished members of congress from ihis state, who have ever proved true to the cause of freedom and the sacred right of petition." The Hon. Mr.

Miller, and ihe secretary's who were Locos were much opposed to the resolution because the gentleman named in the resolution were Whig. This infamous Miller made one ol the most low, vulgar, and abusive speeches we ever heard. He said "Bill Slade" was not an abolitionist. He had kissed the great toe of slavery, was no more an abolitionist than any slave holder, he had never done any thing for the cause, but had always sa crificed the interests of the north to the south, he was a weak inefficient and servile man. He despised him because he had not courage enough to fight a duel But said he, Jack Mattocks is an abolitionist, and methinks I can now see the liltle man pulling up tin waistband to his breeches and looking across his shoul der saying to the southern slave holders "you cant come it He was willing to vote for the resolution if the name ol "Bill Slade was stricken off, otherwise he must vote against it." The resolution was finally laid upon the table, not more than six or eight voting either way.

It was rather amusing to hear Miller praise Mattocks, when it was well known he had done every thing in his novver to defeat his election. A resolution to this effect was passed, "that we will not, (the third parly) have any connexion whatever with either the Whig or Democratic parties." Mark the consistency of these nine nairioia. Edward P. Barber was nominated for i i Lieut. Governor by these same men, when it was well known that the Locos at Monlpelier last week nominated him for the same office.

A more bitter Loco Focnt or a more zealous demagogue does not breath the moun-'ain air of Vermont than this Barber. There were many present who s-iid ihey should not vote for Barber ninny rate. Many also were much disaffected because Judge Hutchinson was not again put in nomination. Judge H. accepted the nomination last year, at a time when not one out of a hundred would have done at so late a period in the campaign.

We think he has not been treated well in thus early being deserted. Last year there was no laurel to be won. Whether there will be this year is as at a matter of uncertainty. What eepting four, iircl pursuant to the call of the County bv choosing: SAMUEL W.l'OB pringfield, President. EDWii.p H.

The report of the committee was on motion of Asaph Fletcher accepted, and the nominees were unanimously recommended by ihe convention as suitable persons to represent the freemen of the County in the Stale Senate lor the ensuing political year. The committee for that purpose, made the following report which was read and adopted.

The committee appointed to take into consideration the means necessary to be adopted for the more perfect organization of the Whig party this County, preparatory to llie state election, beg leave to report, that, in ihe opinion of your committee it is expedient that committees uf vigilance be appointed, in every school district throughout the County, and also thai measures he taken lo procure the publication of an extra Whig paper to be circulated gratuitously throughout the County. And your committee recommend that the County Com niltee. or some other to he appointed by this con- of such paper and collect ihe expenses of! same. And in view of the present aspectof our po itical affairs, your committee recommend the adoption of the following resolutions as expressive of the sentiments of this convention. II.Cltts, for Committee.

Resolved, That the opinion of thisConvenlinn, the redemption ofour country from the disastrous and distressing effects of 12 years mi-rule under the two last administrations, is novrmainly dependent on the cstab lislnnent of an efficient and protective tariff. Resolved, That it is only to the continued Iriumpli and success of the Whig party that we can look to ob tain protection to our agricultural, manufacturing, me chanical and commercial industry that the great body the Loco oco party are openly opposing sueli pio- Itection, and the late specious pretentions of sympathy ahv law for the protection nf American industry. i I I Resolrct, That Ihe cause ol the Whig party is now, as it always has been, identified with the protection of American Industry and that, as Whigs of Vermont, as citizens of llie most industrious State in the Union will rally the that till the star The foregoing Resolutions were taken up separately and unanimously adopted. The nominating committee made the nominations for the several town committees for the year ensuing which will appear next week. Voted, That the town committees of the several towns, be requested to appoint sub committees in their several school districts.

Voted, That the County Committee be instructed to procure the publication of a paper in pursuance of the recommendation in the report of committee. Voted, That the proceedings of the convention be signed by ihe President and Secretary and published in the Whig paper in this county. Convention dissolved. S4MUEL W. PORTER, President.

If lie wa not willing lo be their candidate why did he not decline tome two or throe month btlore i We know not what hi politic are, ihcy probably thought him to be a Whig, and by iiongnaiing him a portion of the whig might be induced to vole for It'in, which woulJ thu defeat the reg- ui.i. ly nominated candidate. But then Judge must have some olTke, and a he very well knew lie 'could net be ag iin elected to the same office be now holds, he may, I say, knowing this to be the case accept of the nomination.

Thi convention wa got up by and managed by them throughout the day. We plainly sec the cloven fool of Locofocoism in all it deformity, and so did many others There wer many like invsclf, who went to this convention expecting to find il hat it professed to be a Liberty meeting, 'and that it would finally result to the benefit of the poor 'slave, but we came away satisfied, a did many other 'thai it was nothing more nor less, than a detached branch nf the Loco Foco party, and that the manager, were determined to pull down the whig parly and build upon its ruins the Loco Foco party. When the Hon. If m. Slade received the unmerited abuse from this unprincipled Miller, many left the house in disgust.

Why jwcre not the abolitionists, if they are in favor of this third party from Addison County, present? What say you, freemen of Old Addison," will you stand by and look calmly on the wretch who wilfully and maliciously, villifies and traduces the character of a man whom you respect and admire No, we know you will not. The main body, ihe rank and file of the abolition party in this slate are honest, and will not be led away by these unprincipled demagogues. They see it i alt gammon their professing so much love for the slave. Wb know 1 iIir leaders of this third narlv arc men ljuo better than they should be. They are hard hearted, close fisted, miserly persons, who use a little brief authority over their fellow men with as much severity as did ever a slave master over his slaves We arc speaking of the leaders.

I am an abolitionist, now and have ever been one. I voted for Titus Hutchinson for Governor last fall, and should this year had he received the nomination as he ought. We have heard it intimated that Col. Paine would not consent lo be a candidate again, and if he should not, why cannot whigs nominate the Hon. William Slade We believe thai Col.

Paine is as much an abolitionist as C. K. Williams, or E. D. Barber, and ten times as honest a the last named gentleman in his abolitionism.

I have thus trespassed upon your patience much longer than I in tended when I commenced. My object in writing was carry as near as possible to you, und your readers an idea of ihe importance of this great stale convention. Five men and ten boys might get together in some school house and make a nomination for state officer, and send that nomination abroad as the nomination of the party throughout he state, and with as much propriety as nomination which was made yesterday, can be 'called the nomination of the abolitionist party in this state. And we think one would be ol a much conse as the other. Yours truly, E.

From the Windsor Vt. Chronicle. SHOCKING MURDER. A murder of almost uncxcmplified atrocity, was committed near our village on Thursday last. An Irishman named Peter MeCue, attacked a sonofMaj John Pettes, about 15 years old, and a little ci 1 ired hoy, named Homer Cooper, with a hoe cut, mangled and bruised them in the most shocking manner, and left them for dead.

It appears that McCue. and three sons nf Muj. Pettes had been hoeing near the river that afternoon. The work was finished except a little that belonged to Frederick, and they went towards the house about 2 o'clock leaving him and the colored boy. After going some distance McCue said he would go back and help Frederick and the others kept on to the house.

The work was finished, and Frederick had just put a hoe into the hands nf Homer and was showing him how lo use it, when MeCue seems to have struck the first blow from behind, making a gash in his face, and stunning him so thai he retains no reecollection of what nccured. Ho mer saw the blow, and endeavored, in his childish sim plicity, to interfere. When Frederick recovered hi senses, he found himself lying on his fice. He heard Homer's groans, and found him in the same position. Although f.iint from (he loss of blood, and blinded by blood and dirt, he succeeded at the second effort in rising, and called for help.

MeCue had fled, thinking, doubtless, that he had finished the work of death. This is supposed to have been not more than 15 or 20 minutes after McCue went back, under pretence, of helping Frederick. The head and face of the colored-boy were most horribly mangled and bruised he sur vived, however, till three o'clock on Sabbath morning. Young Pettes received fewc blows, and none oftheiii penetrated ihe skull, though some of the bones of the face were severed. It is hoped that he will recover.

McCue used two hoes in the bloody work. He had ground his hoe twice that day, making it exceedingly sharp. Large pieces were broken out of the blades of the lines, by the blows, and one of the bandies waa broken twice. Nothing unpleasant had occurred that afternoon in the field, and none of the family noticed anything like displeasure in McCue during the day. The cotored boy was a very pleasant and inoffensive child, only four years old; and any sudden provocation from cither of victims is considered impossible.

"i McCue is supposed to have escaped by swimming the Connecticut river. A Handbill was immediately issued and great efforts have been made to arrest him, but thus far in vain. A reward of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS is offered for his arrest. MeCue is about 30 to 33 years old, height, about 5 feet 7 inches rather fair complexion. hair black with a few grey hairs greyish blue eyes, (Handbill says black) has a down look, never looks any body in the face on the lower par of his right cheek is a scar, upon which no beard grows speaks with the Irish brogue very strong.

He left without coat, hat, or shoes with grey pantaloons much worn at the knee. Third Purtv Slate lloblen at Tl on Wedesday; nominiion a follows Charles K. Williams for Governor, E. P. Barber for-Lient.

P. WALTON, Jr. May 21, S'liitn Central Com'tec. TO THE PUBLIC. In pursuance of a recommendation from the County Convention, held in this lown on Wednesday the Sili insl.

it is proposed on the pari of the County Committee, to issue from now until after the September Election, an extra sheet for more general circulation among the people, lo be called THE WHIG ADVOCATE, mid lo be devoied mostly to political matter. The Advocate will contend for the protcrlion of homo industry in particular, and will in ail respects occupy the high ground so far as regards political principles as was maintained by tlio Whigs in the ever memorable contest of 1840. Its object and design will be to fpread before tlic people in the cheapest manner possible, information touching their interest, as an agricultural and meciianical community, and to set forth in its true light the perni-j cious consequences of free trade, r.s contended for by llie I.ocofucos; a principle in government, which, however theoretically right, tends now and ever has done in practice, to the utter impoverishment of the nation, which blindly, not lo say foolishly puisnes it. That party too, whose more prominent and leading principles are the honors and emoluments of office, whose proclaimed motto is, "to the rirtors belong the spoils," and who with an assiduity and zeal which never lircs, and a perseverance becoming a bet'er cause aic seeking to obtain I lain in our State by the hypo-! critical but characteristic cry of economy on their lips, will receive our prompt and untiring attention. On the whole, it is the design ol the County Coin-; millce to make the Advocate such a vehicle of information as the wants of community at this time imperiously require.

We would earnestly call upon the several town and district Committees throughout the County, as well as npon all who feel the importance of maintaining the ascendency of whig principles lo aid in giving the Advocate an extensive and general circulation. The Wlii" Advocate will be furnished at the rate of, 100 copies for sent to one address. If practicable, the first No. will be issued next week. Our friends will please send in their orders as soon as possible.

Communications, post paid, directed to Tlio Whig Advocate, Woodstock, Vt. will receive attention. JOHN A.PRATT, CALVIN FRENCH. Countu Committee. JOHN PORTER, ') Woodstock, June 0, 1H2.
