First District Liberty Convention. Pursuant to the call of tlio committee, the dele gates from Bennington, Rutland and Windham counties, assembled in Convention at Manchester, on Wednesday, June 12th, at 10 o'clock, A. M., for the purpose of nominating n candidate for Member of Congress. Convention called to order by O. L. Shatter, Kiq., of Wilmington, and organized by appointing Dr. J. VV. Hale, of Brandon, chairman, and Isaiah Matteson, 2d, of Shaftsbury, secretary. Convention opened with prayer by Rov. Mr. Shaw, of Mount Tabor. Voted, that a committee be appointed by the delegates from each county separately, to consist f 4 persons from Bennington, 6 from Rutland and tt from Windham, to present the name of some person as a suitable candidate fur Congress. (The Dames of this committee are omitted.) On motion, n committee of five were appointed o resolutions, as follows: Hon. A. Thompson, A. St. Ciair, J. W. Sawyer, A. Lundon, 0. L. Shafter, R. R. Thrall and D. 15. Nicholson. The nominating committee came in and report ed the name of OSCAR L. SHAFTER, Esq , ai a candidate for Congress. Report accepted, and the nomination unanimously confirmed by the con vention. The committee on resolutions reported the fol lowing, which, after being discussed by many gen lletnen present, were adopted unanimously: 1. Resolved, That every Liberty vote thrown ii a part of the system and amount of means ne cessary, in the Providence of GoJ, 10 etfectthe ab olition of Slavery. 8. Resolved, That, in this view, no vote thrown for Liberty can ever be lost; but that every vote thrown for either of the proslavery parties is worse than lost. 3. Resolved, That the course of the represen tative of this district in Congress on ;he subject of slavery, refusing, or declining to record his vote against the atrocious resolutions of Mr. Holmc3 of South Carolina, condemning nil at tempts to abolish that unholy system to the de struction of which, lie pledged so much labor, whon nominated to his present position, merits the undivided disapprobation of his constituents, and calls imperatively for a man to fill his place, who will carry out the measure thus, promised, by his act) in Congress. 4. Resolved, That Oscar L. Sii afteu of Wil mington is a man of this character, having made no promises, because none arc necessary, he hav ing been known more than ten yeaid as an active biitionist; and wo hereby pledge ourselves to do nil which wo honorably may, to secure his election iext September. Whereas, There is now a tiartv in wgnniza-iio-u whoso distinctive object is to be the :nexntioa of Texas to this country. 5. Resolved, That the accomplishment of this project would fortify the institution of slavery, Against tDC inKttences mat now tnrcaten its ape-cry j subversion would put in imminent peril what of j liberty there is now in the country, and would in-j terposa most formidable obstacles in the way of founan advancement in these lands. 6. Resolved, That wo will resist this scheme of Stupendous and far reaching iniquity up to the ex tremes! limit of the means supplied to us under the institutions of the country and the Govern ment of God. Benediction by Rev. Mr. Sawyer, of Shafts bury. Convention ndjourned. JOS1AH W. HALE, Chaimvn. Jiaiah Mattkson , Secretary. -4tb. Whereas the Liberty party ia stigmatized as having but one idea; therefore, Resolved that while we plead guilty to the charge, we arc happy to know that our " one idea" is far paramount to nil tlwsc discordant and absurd ideas which dis tract the pro slavery parties and curse the country. 5th. Resolved, That, huving no confidence in the political honesty of the leaders of either of those parties, we will endeavor to supplant them with our own as fast as possible 6th. Resolved, if he who looks upon a woman with lust, is an adulterer: if he who bates his brother is a murderer: if the Jews who justified their fathers were guilty of the blood of the pro phets whom their fathers killed then is he who upholds slavery, either religiously or politically, chargeable with being a partaker in all their crimes I in the si.iht of heaven. 7. Resolved, That the popular doctrine of "choice of evils" falls with an ill grace from the lips of any man in christian America; as much so as it would be to say that, because one man is possess ed of seven devils, he is therefore to be preferred to him who has eight or, to make a choice be tween Sodom and Gomorrah. A committee to nominate a county committee was appointed, who reported the names of Lemu el Bottom, Daniel Roberts, jr., Charles Hicks, John Laiulon. John W. Harris, and Isaiah Mat- Itisou, 3nd; w hich was accepted and adopted. Vigilance committees were appointed for each town in the county, as follows: Pownal, Alpha Mattison, Dea. Benj.

Landgrave, Elijah Woodward, ; it brought in contact with the wire at the negative Morse's Telegraph. Of such a wonderful invention ns this, our read ers must, of course, desire to know something. We think the following account of its origin and mode of action, furnished by our neighbors of the American, will be found sufficiently descriptive. We therefore present it instead of an article of our own, which we had intended to get up, more par ticularly for the gratification of our country read ers, most of whom, probably, will not soon have an opportunity to personally inspect what is em phatically the wonder of the day in this country at least: There are few persons who have not seen an electrical machine, and witnessed the spark which passes from it when in action, to any blunt object which is presented to it. The accumulation of e Icotricity in the machine, caused by turning the cylinder or plate, has the same tendency to puss to an object which has less electricity, that air has to rush into a vacuum, or water to seek n level, t lectricity, like air or water, always seeking to es tablish an equilibrium. Besides the mode of pro ducing electricity by friction, as in the common electrical machine it is also produced bv the action of an acid upon plates of different metals proper ly attached together a fact discovered by the per son whose name is perpetuated in the term Gal vanism. The mode, in common use, of produ cing galvanic action is to immerse the plates in a trough with separate divisions at one end of which the supply of electric fluid, generated by the action of the acid, is in excess. This end of the trough or battery, is called the positive, and the other end tho negative polo of the battery. Now, if a wire attached to one end, is brought near to a wire proceeding from the other end, the electricity passes from the positive to the negative pole, and n spark is seen, like that proceeding from the common electrical machine, which is the electricity seeking to establish an equilibrium. If the two wires are kept in contact, tber? ten stream of electric fluid passing from one to the other. i which is kept up by the action of the acid on the j metallic plates already mentioned. Now; the or dinary length of these wires, in a common Gal vuiiic battery, is but a few feet; but they may be a thousand or an hundred thousand miles in length, and the effect of bringing them in contact with each other is still the same that is, the flow, through their entire length of a stream of elec- I tricity at the rate already mentioned II therefore the machine or Iiatterv is in v asirinatoii, and a wire from the positive file is brought to Balti- IMillT" mill f'ni'lMPlI tvipL til Vn..l,iitri-t.ii tlir. mwl ri ble.

What do the reverend gentlemen think of it, who dragged the combined duelling and psalm singing nomination upnn the platform of. the be nevolent societies? Wo have reason to believe that President Hum phrey, of Amherst college, in like manner means to net up to the doctrines of his own sermon.

A committee to draft an address to the citizens of the county was then appointed, consisting of Daniel Brook1;, jr., Jesse Harris and John Laiulon, of whom Daniel Roberts, jr. was chosen chairman. It was then voted that the county committee see that the town committees bo furnished with votes previous to the coming election.

Mr. Berrien objected to the reception; when the Chair said the motion in order was to lav the nues- ! tion on the table.

This report was unanimously accepted and adopted. Mr. Berrien declared his conviction of duty would not allow him to yield. He could not be de terred by the menace of the Senator to consume the time of the session by a daily agitation of the subject.

The annexation of Texas was a third time put to sleep in the Senate on Thursday, by laying Mr. Benton's resolution to annex, under .certain condi tions, on the table I he vote stood, 2a to 20. Mr, McDuffie's annexation resolution had pre viously been disposed of in the same way, 27 to 19. On Friday, the bill to fix the day of the Presi- .v rapped here round htipc, and then :roes hack to V ashiiigtoii. In make this iron a mag net, therefore, in Baltimore, it is only necessary to connect tho ends of the wires in Washington, where, so long as they are connected, the stream of electricity which pusses along them produces the desired effect upon the iron. When the con i tiection is interrupted, the iron censes to be mag jnelie, and is like any other piece of soft iron. I This magnet, which the Professor Has the power to ereale at pleasure, is i;s prime mover. Imnie- ninieiy over uie magnet, say in Ualtimore, is a brass lever, with a piece of iron attached to tt, which is brought within a quarter of an inch or less, fi tne noise siioe. as soon as this last is made a magnet by uniting the ends of the wire at Washington, it attracts the iron on the lever and draws one end of the lever down, causing, at the same time, the opposite end to rise. At this op posite end is the pen or stylus, which is of steel about an inch long, nnd about the size of a knit ting needle. Immediately over it, is a brass cylin der with a grove around it, into which llie stylus strikes when tho masnet attracts tho othci end nf the lever. Not far from this roller are two others, revolving in contact, like the rollers used to draw out cotton, prior to spinning it in a cotton mill motion being given to them by very simple clock work moved by n weight. The office of these two rollers, is to draw from another roller, nnd under the grooved roller, a strip of paper which is wound round it, like a ribband, on its center block. With these explanations the operation of the ma chine can he readily understood. When the professor in Washington wishes to send a message to Baltimore, he spells it with let ters composed of dots and lines for instance, A may be a dot and linn, thus . ; B, two dots and a line, thus . . ; C, a line nnd a dot, thus . By connecting the end of the wires for an instant only, a dot is made by the pressure of the stylus on the paper which is passing over the grooved cylin der; a line is formed by letting the ends of the wires remain in. contact lor a longer tune, when tho stilus is kept pressed on the moving paper. The writing, w hen completed, resembles the rais ed characters used in the instruction of the blind, only, instead of the common alphabet, an alpha bet of dots and lines, in different combination, is made use of. The mode of connecting the wires ns required, is very simple. One of them is kept always im mersed in a mercury, into which the other is dip ped, whenever it is desired to send a current of electricity through tho entire circuit, the fluid met al forming a conductor between the ends. The operation ol writing consists in press a button, to which the end of the wires in use is attached, in the manner in which a single key of a piano is struck by the finger, with a succession nf rapid or prolonged strokes, ns dots are required to be form ed. We have spoken of the stylus as a single piece of iron, but it is in fact composed of three, like a three pronged fork, so that each letter is made in triplicate. As already stated) the paper is drawn over the grooved roller, against which the stylus presses, by the two rollers, which are set in motion by a simple clock-like work which, in its turn, is started by the first stroke of the lever a detent or catch being withdrawn like the detent of a stop watch; so long as writing is going on this de tent is kept back, nnd when the writing is done, the detent fnllinir into its place, stops tlip clock work, and tho papor ceases to move. The first stroke of the lever also rings a little bell, which els the attention of tho attendant to the machine. The whole machinery does not occupy a space of more than one foot by two -mighty as is its lightning-like agency. ftatiimore Sit. Eve, Visiter. The Reason foii Annexation. Mr. Calhoun, in a note to Mr. Pnckeuham. the British minister. of date of Auril 27th. slates exnlicitlv that the ob ject of annexation is the preservation of slavery. ih snys : " The United States, in concluding the treaty of annexation -with Texas, are not disposed to shun i n , , iiuy icniuiiMiiiniy which may i.uriy nuatcn to them on account of their transaction." The inci sure was adopted with mutual consent and for the mutual and permanent welfare of the two countries interested. IT WAS MA DE NECES SARY IN ORDER TO PRESERVE DOMES TIC! INS TITUTIONS placed under the guaran ty of their respective coutitutinus, and deemed ESSENTIA!, TO THEIR SAFETY AND PROSPERITY." n A correspondent of the Chnrlestown, S. C. Mer cury says: " I think it must be obvious fo most unbiassed mind;-, that the true issue on the annex ation of Texas, is not so much the acquisition of that territory, as the question of slavery." True. Mr. Polk, the democratic candidate for the pres idency, was born in North Carolina in 1795, and is now in the 49th year of his age. The original name ol bis ancestors was Pollock. Mr. Dallas was born on the 10th of July, 1792, and is therefore in his 52nd year. Goon. The Report of ihe Home Missionary Society mentions American slavery as the treat obstacle to the spread of the gospel in the country. This islhe first instance of the mention of slavery as an evil by any of the great benevolent societies. May it prove an omen of a better era in tho reli gious world. Extract of a letter from a friend in Albany: ' The w higs had a great celebration in Albany on Friday, when they heard of Henry Clay's nom ination; they fired one hundred guns in front nf the capitol, marched throuih the streets led bv two men carrying a large COON, lashed on a rail; and followed by boys and dogs."
