Stockholders resident in Boston End viity.

Large Meeting' of the Stockhold
ers of the Vermont Central
Railroad.
On Wednesday cvaninrr. the 23th inst.
large meeting of the Stockholders of the Ver
mont Central Railroad Company was holden in
Washington Hill, m Bromfield street. At half
past seven o'clock the meeting was organized
by the choice of Henry Rice, E-q , for Presi
dent, and R. F. Fitke, Esq- for Secretary. lm-
mpdialoly aflor tho oran-aalion, linn. Josiah
Quincy, Jr., Treasurer of the Company, arose
and addressed ihe meeting. Ho said substan
tially That the Treasurer, uilh the Direc'ors,
had taken the liberty to mule the stockholders
of ihf Vt Central Railroad to meet this evening.
He wished to tee them face to face ; to explain
to them the condition and prospects of the road,
and to explain, openly and fully, what Had been
mildly termed the very cxtraordimry course ta
ken by the Directors in the issue of new ttoclc
at $30 a share.
A short time ago he felt confident of beinj
able to carry the rojd through successfully, uith
out having to issue new stuck below fifiy dollars
a share. Hut he was, in this hope, disappointed
The pressure in the money market, and the del
that rai'road sccuiities are looked upon with dis
trust, makes it impossible to obtain money on
railroad paper. U e were forced, by the exigen
cy of the case, to come to the decision that we
have. At the last meeting of the stockholders
a new board of Directors was cho?en. They
were mostly new men men of character and
influence, and in uhom the s ocklmlders repos
ed full confidence. For the present condition
of the road, whatever that condition may bo,
they arc not responsible. All was done before
they were in office. This new Hoard were io!d
by the shareholders to go on and complete the
road. Tney took hold of the woik. At this
lime they asked me to belli them through, Hav-
inj hopes of better days, of easier times, 1 un
dertook to labor for tl.em and with them until
the first of May. was permitted to takelhe re
fusal of some shares of stock at fifty do lars a
share. Tins was all the boon I craved. The
meeting here can say whether I am likely to re
alize a very great profit I hid great faitb in
the ultimate success of th:s great lit.e of com
munication, and T trust, by the 15th ot fc'ep'ern
ber next, to be able to take you over oneconliu
uous line of railroid from Boston to Ogdet.s
burgh. When this is accomp isheJ, 1 shall feel
paid for the part which I have taken to effect it.
We are tco apt to judge of the value of Kail
road Stock by the stnndaid which is erected at
the Brokers.' board, and not by the rial intrinsic
value of the property. Mr. Quincy had no
doubt, if the stockholders uouid conform to the
recommendations whli-h ho was abojt to ofler,
that ihe flock, within a year or two, w ould not
be considered high at filly dollars a share. The
great obstacle in the way at present, is the want
of money to complete the read and pay lU debts,
It is impissible to get money in Ijr;;e amounts
on Railroad japer. 'the stockholders must
thctcfo.e take th matter into iheir own hai.ds,
and . reserve their propc.ty. ll tltev will n n
do it, others will do it lor them ; and it must b
done vow. It there are not nnangeiuenta made
to piy the r'elits, the (Jompakt must kail,
which would be ad sgrace to .New England,
uiu u.i en lie s.i tilt. co oi iheir proj a ty on the
part o! the shareholders. Some perhaps may
say ihat we can is.-ne new bonds very easy
eaid, but can we ct the mutiey for thern ? Rail
road s.ocks are net at pris nt in good odor, ti
thcr here or in Lngiand. I sent, uy one o' our
lirst mi-rchaiits, to England, to see if we could
get money on our bonds there ; but he wrote
tiack th it he cou J not get a dollar. The Direc
tors', after looking the case over, saw nj other
way for tbem than to i-sue their new oiocK at
$.'JU a share. Will the 411,000 shares, at thirty
dollars, pay the debts and set the road on a sure
and sound foundation ? The stocklmldeis want
to know uherethe bottom is. llcie is a stite
ment of the condition of the road, taken tr-m
the books. It is bj proved by the Directors'
statement :

l hi; is the statement. The 4L'.UUU shares, n
taken, will pay all Hie debts of the Cou pany,
except the bonds. When the road is finWhc.t,
they will sell tor a great deal more than they do
now. The stock is just as good today as it was
when it was sold at nfty.
And now, one word on another point. The
Vermont Central and Canada Railioad are as
distinct from each other as the Worcester and
Western Kailroid. The Vermont Central will
have to pay e rent for the use of the Canada
road, ae other roads do. So i e have thought the
rent high. The rent on other roads is about 1
per cent, on $:$8,C00 per mile. We are to pay
the Canada road 8 per cent, on 817,000 per mile,
which makes matters about square. There is
no utilisation on our part to aid in building the
Canada road. The thief reason of our stock
selling now at $'28 a sluie, is, that people don't
believe you will finish the toad. Hake it mam
test tint ou will finish the road, and confidence
will return, and the stock will go up. And now,
geulle.rjen, you must come forward and finish
the road. Put our hands in jour pockctc, and
pay the debts of the Company, and let no mort
gagees get hold of it.
Mi. Quincy then told some interesting facts
concerning the early history of the Cstern
Uaihoad, to illustrate the importance of complet
ing the Vermont Central. In conclusion, he
said, that the directors had voted that the new
issue of stock shall not be binding upon the sub
scribers, until the whold amount of 40,000 times
were taken, it was for those present to decide
lha tola t ,ha mar II ha .-!. I - ....... t-L-on I
the fate of the road. If the stock was taken,
the road would go on and be finished, it not, it
must fail. We have books prep j red. They are
here. Come forward tonight, show that you are
determined to stand byvourown properly. It
is in jour poncr, before jou leave this hall, to
inaae ttie Vermont Central sund on a basis, lin-

of new stock ut thiuy dollars a share. It ha
been said that the directors, aware ot the new
stock being about to ae issued r-t this price, bad
availed themselves of the intormatton lo sell the
slock thty owned. This was not true ; it was
not possible. One director hid sold sojie stock
at $40 ; he lived in Vt, He knew nothing at
the lime of the price to be fixed lor the new is
sue. He sold bl stock because he wanted the
uijoey. No one has sold on short liire. As tor
liinise;f. he had not sold a share, either on short
or Jong time. Everything depends upon you to
make the value of this road as immovable as the
Green Moun'aics among which it tans. To use
a nautical phrase, we have been in rough waters.
The Directors had run the ship on one tack un
til the breakers were close under her bows.
They had ordered her to be put about, and
before the sails filled she rolled awfully, and ma
ny of the landsmen were terribly sick ; but let
the breeze take her, and ho will be in deep wa
ter and out of danger in an instant
Mr. Quincy 's remark were listened to with
great attention. nd he was frequently interrupt
ed by loud applause.
Gov. Paine rf Vt., the President of the road,
next addressed the meeting. He said he came
bcfiirs them out of health, but he thought it his
du'y to come forward once more, and bear his
lestunonv in favor ot tlie enterprise, tlis conn-
dence in its ultimate success was undiminished.
He had, during his connection with the road,
been mistaken in one thins. He had said that
the stock of the road would never have to be is
sued for less than fiftv dollars a share : that it
should not bo issued tor a less sum, unless we
were directed to do it by the Stockholders. H
had, in this point, been mistaken. He did not
bel'eve it would be necessary, but it was done
intlns instance, to save the property of the Stock
holders from ruin and loo. It in down this he
had sacrificed only himself, he should feel con
tent.
Air. Campbell, the Engineer of the Canada
road, next snoke.
Gentlemen You are well aware that your
Company require about SI.500,000, wiihin a
short period, which your Directors propose to
raise by an I'-'tie ofstock to me present snare
holders, at S30 ner share, piyable in six month.
Iy instalments-. A Iarse portion of this sum has
hern expended within the past eight months,
with your knowledge and consent, in construct
ing your road from Xortlifield to Rurling-on; it
includes about S200.000, which is required tor
its final completion. The rails have been laid
and the road is in operation M a point within
about one and a half miles of its termination, on
lake Cliatnplain, in the to nof Iliirlingtor, which
portion will probably be finished by the first to
the middle of June next. This debt exiits, and
must be paid. It is for you to determine whether
you will protect your interests, and sivc y-ur
property, by lakiiig this stock, or permit new
parlies to secure Hat n greatly depreciated price,
at the moment of ihe completion and final suc
cess of the road. You posess a railroad of 11(5
miles in lennih. enual, in permanence of con
struction, lo the bet in New England. On the
cast sloe of Vermont it forms a jur.ction in Con
necticut River Vallev. with the two great routes
to Boston, by way of'ihe Northern, Concord, and
Lowell railmids, and the Sullivan, Cheshire, and
Fitchburg railroads; also wuh ihe southern line,
extending down Connecticut River valley to
Long Island Sound and Mow ork. On the
west it teruunilcson Lake Cinmplain at Bur

railroad, (now in construction) which forms a
connecting link with the Ogden:burg railroad,

Vermont Central Railroad, at a co't of S5,
500,000, complete, including furniture, 1 1G miles
lonff, say 47,100 per mile.
By a contract made between the Vermont
Central Railroad Company, and the Vermont
and Canida Raitioid Company, the former Com
pany have agreed to lease the road of the latter
ul 8 per cent, on its cost.
1 tils may be regarded by some as a bad har
ain for the Central Comoiny. It is not so.
The Vermont and Canada road is 45 (MC0
miles in length. Ii is under contract and rapidly
advancing In comolelion. The rjradiii and
briilHiv; is now one-third completed, and all re
quired ina'rrials for its completion have been de
livered. 1 he cross-ties u ive been procuied, lo
iron already in bond, and a Iar;e force is i.ow
cmployed on every part of the route. The fir.-t
ten miles of litis road lo Milton will be opened
on the 1st of July. To St. Albans, 21 miK
on the 1st of August, and to Rouse's Point in all
Uctouer iieu. I hp ei.tire co-t ot this line win
not exceed 8300,000. The Province line rail
road fro.n Rouse's Point In S'. J olio's will be
put under construction wiihin one mouth from
tins date. It will be 21 miles in Icnoth, with a
dead level grade Irom end to end, crossing only
two ravines in its whole length, except w hic'i
there is no cut or embankment on it over lour
feet in depth. The entire road will be finished
for a sum not exceeding f-'Jo ( 00. It will re
quire no furniture, n it will be operated by the
St. Johns and Laprarie Railroad Co.
It will be observed by the above lhat the cr
mont Central Railroad Lino is a main link in a
great chain leading lo the West and North- el
from Bjton c mnecting the (treat Lake-s, wiih
iheirtlmusan Is of mites ofcotst, eoutitric, rich
in soil and mineral productions', wiili populous,
prosperous and growing cities.
In itrade, Ihe Vermont Central line possesses
a deciJed advantage over any other line leading
rrom the Lakes to the Atlantic. The efficient
power of locomotive engines upon it being IJ.J
per tent, greater than by ll.e Rutland line, and
42 per cent, greater ihin by the Western lino
from Albany. If, with these advantages in pos
session and prospect, the present stockholders
feel disposed to sacrifice iheir property and per
mit their roaifto fall into new hands, the fault or
choice rests with thorn. Their hands have been
put to the plough, and it is too lato to look back.
I can only add, that as a stockholder to the ex
cut of my means, I am prepared to sustain the
Directors by subscriptions lo new slock, in full
confidence of a rich return. It may not be im
proper to say, lhat a charier lias been oblatned
for ihe construction of a railroad from Toronto,
on Lake Ontario, to Pcnetangu'shue, a poll on
Georgian Bay, passing river a lavoraule route ot
only 80 miles in length, and securing a direct
route from Boston, by railroad and 6teaniboat,
through Lake Superior to the Copper regions,
and lo a point further West than the capitals of
.Missouri, Arkansas, cr any of the present West
ern Slates. This route lo Lake Superior will
ovoid the navigation of a part of Lake Ontario,
the whole ol Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair, and
Lake Huron, amnunliug to a reduction of dis
tance to the copper regions of uear one thousand
miles.
Mr. Quincy arose when Mr. CampVll sit
down, and said that they had often heard that the
"Campbell's were coming;" from what we had
just heard ihe meeting would feel sure thai
the "Campbell had come." Great laughter.
Mr. Quincy said lhat Ihe terms of payment tor
the new stock were five dollars on the 15th of
April, and five dollars on the 15th of each fol-
loM.in monlh lM it WM aI1 M in
' . '
I lie meeting voted unanimously to a'Jopl tne
p'an proposed hy the Directors and Treasurer,
and approve the course which they had taken.
The following gentlemen were appointed a com
mittee to solicit subscriptions to ihe new stock:
Daniel r. Child, B. l Cheney, J. r. l'utnam,
H R Campbell. J. C. Dunn, James Ellison, J
Thayer, J. C. Howe. T. C. Leeds, Silas
p lcrce, Samuel ToplifT, C. O. Whit.nore.
...
R. G. Shaw, Silas Peirce, and President
Wheeler, were appointed a committee to exam
ine the books, alter the subscriptions were all
in, and to announce the fact to the public.
Mr. Benj. T. Reed, of ihis city, next address
ed the meeting. Mr. Reed is a stockholder in
the Vermont Central and also in the Rutland
road. He said they had been held up as antag
onistic or rival coiporations. He did not consid
er them in that light. When finished, there
would be business enough for both. He was
glad to learn lhat Mr. Quincy had taken three
thousand chares of the new slock, and he had
learned lhat Robert G. Shaw has taken a ttiou-

sand shares. Other gentlemen were willing to
come forward, and thus by their acts show their
confidence in the road. Mr. Reed had recently
been in Vermont, and passed over the road. lie
told some very interesting and important facts
in relation to ihe business which was sure to
como to Boston by means thereof. He told of
the marble trade, on whicn already freight lo the
amount of $30,000 had been made. We re
gret that we did not take full notes of the re
marks of Mr. Reed, as they were practical and
important.
Mr. Langdon of Montpelier, Vt. next spoke.
He said he was no speaker, but he liad one or
two facts to state. He was engaged in the
flouring business at Burlington. He said that
they had sent fifty thousand barrels of flour over
the road 1 lie past season. when the road
was finished, the Central Road will bring to
Boston :JCO,000 barrels a year. Latge arrange
ments had been made lo bring flour, in this sea
son.
Gov. Paine, Mr Reed and Mr Degrand spoke
again, going into particular statements to show
the great amount of business which is sure lo
come upon this road when finished, and ot the
incalculable benefit which it will be to ihe bu
siness of Ihe city of Boston. The meeting was
one of great interest, and cannot fail lo have a
favorable influence upon the interests of the
road.
Our sketch is brief and imperfect, but our
readers, we trust, will gain some knowledge of
the case from the statement we have made.
It was announced lhat Ten Thousand Shares
had been subscribed by the parlies present,
Whereupon the meeting was diss'jlved.
THE MEETING AT WINDSOR.
Pursuant to a call by the Directors, the cor
poration met at Windsor on Tuesday last, on
which occasion the Vermont Stockholders were
fully represented. The same reportsnbstantial
ly was made by the Treasurer as at the Boston
meeting, accompanied by statements more in
detail of the stock, expenditures, debts and as
sets of the Company. The issue of new slock
a $3f, the adjustment of stock accounts, and the
payment of Ihe dividends of interest, were all
fully discussed in which discussion Mr. Quin
cy ot Massachusetts, Judge Paine of New
York, Judge Gove and II. R. Campbell of New
Hampshire, and Azel Spalding, O. II. Smith, A
P. II union, P. Dillingham, J. T. Marston and
several other Veniionters took part. The- result
was that all other business was: waived but that
of providing means at once to meet the floating
debt of tlie Corporation and complete the road ;
and for this purpose the issue of fifiy thousand
shares of stock at $'.10 per share, nuthorized by
the Directors on the t!lst of Mare-li last, was np
proved by a unanimous vote of the Stockhold
ers, and nlso by suV-crptions on the spot for
three thousand shires of tins issue, which, with
the amount subscribed in Boston, makes one
I alf nl the number required to carry out the de
sign of ilu Company.
After the completion of the special business
of the meeting, the Hon. Daniel Baldwin, of
Montpelier proposed a committee of three lo ex
amine into all the rffiirs of the Coinfany, and
report to the stockholders. The President re
marked that such an examination was heartily j
disircd by the Directors and himself, and the
proposition was agreed to unanimously. J he
Committee consists of John Wheeler of Bur
lington, Daniel Baldwin of Montpelier, and Geo
W. Benedict of Burlington.
Fifty thousand shares of stock at $30 per
share are authorized, which must be subscribed
on or before the 15lh of April instant, payable
in six monthly assessments ot $5 each share.
The condition of subscription is that no subscri
ber shall bo held to pay unless forty thousand
s'larcs are taken. This number will raise $1,
200,000, which is equal to the floating debt and
the estimated cost of completing the road, and
will iherefore in all probability relieve the com
pany from any future issue of slock at so low a
rale. The remaining obligations of the Com
pany amount to about SG0O,OCO, duo two years
hence at a period when the whole of the great
lini with which the Central is connected, fiom
Boston to Montreal and Lake Ontario, will have
been completed and tested, and when a debt of
this amount, owed by a company having five
millions capital with a road on one of the great
est lines in the country, can hardly be a matter
of embarrassment
This issue makes the actual par of the slock
of the Company $30 per share. The investment
now at $30 the share was icgardcJ as eminent
ly a good one, and the taking of the whole a
inaunt considered certain. "We judge from the
signs at Ihe mceiing, and from the opinions we
have heard expressed, that the full quota of Ver
mont will be subscribed for by Vormontcrs, and
mainly by original stocMioldcts. Sonic may be
unable to take: their places will be filled by
others. Each stockholder is entitled of right to
one share of new btock for each share he now
holds. Stockholders cu subscribe, however,
for all they wish and so may persons who arc
not stockholders: but in ihe distribution it may
be reasonably expected that stockholders will
have a preference. Buok3 of subscription will
be found at the Bank of Montpelier, and the
Vermont Bank, and in the hands of U. P. Wal
ton, Jr.
The Trial of Dr. John W. Web
ster, For the murder of Dr. George Parkman at
Boston, was hrought to a close on Saturday
night last at 11 o'clock, when the jury, after
three hours consideration, rendered a verdict of
ruIUj. We have not copied the report of the
trial, as it could not be given in the limits of
our paper until after ihe appearance of tlie more
full and accurate pamphlet account which will
be published by Redding & Co. at a rate which
will permit all to purchase. Dr. Parkman had
financial business with Dr. Webster, which was
extremely embarrassing, and w as pressed upon
Webster in a temper very provoking. At half
past one o'clock on the 23d of November, the
parties met at the room of Dr. Webster in the
Medical College, and his friends and the gov
ernment claim that P. has not been een alive
since that hour. Littlcfield, the keeper of the
building, shears that on that day and for sever
al succeeding days, Webster was in his rooms
at unusual hours that his doors were locked at
unusal times that he diverted the attention of
the police from a certain privy that he preven
ted witness on a certain occasion from going
lhrou"h one of his rooms lhat he had (ires i
more than usual that he talked with witness a
bout the disappearance of Parkman, and appear
ed strangely and to other circumstances which
raised the suspicion of Littlefield, and finally led
him to examine the privy, and there he says he
found parts of a human body on the 30th of No
vember. Webster was charged with the murder
bluntly and confronted with these remains
he was confounded. Other remains were also
found in oilier parts ot Dr. Webster's rooms, and
parts of the head and teeth in a furnace, burnt.
The general appearance of the body is like
Parkman's the teeth arc confidently sworn to
as being Parkman's by the dentist who made
them, and sundry dentists say that tho maker of
the teeth ought to know them generally, even
when burnt""' It was proved that the body was
not prepared or used for dissection, but had been
treated with alkali to destroy it. On the other
hand other dentists testify that it is not safe to
say that the teeth are Tarkman's that they are
liko other teeth, and some of them would fit oth
er jaws as well as the jaw called Parkman's,and
this fact was demonstrated. On this testimony,
the jury find that the body is Parkman's.
Was he murdered ? There is no direct or
positive evidence of that fact, Parkman is dead.
if these remains are his murder isinferred from
the general circumstances of Ihe case. Who
killed Parkman? Webster was his debtor, and
declares that at half past one of the 23d Nov.
he paid Parkman a certain sum and look up two
notes which were defaced, and Parkman leftim
mediately wi'.h the money in his hand, agreeing
to discharge a mortgage. The notes aresubse
quently found at Webster's house the mort
gage was not discharged. Webster docs not
show where ho got the money to pay: the gov
ernment does show that certain money which
came to him about that time was deposited in
bank after the C3d. Other circumstances are
shown, as the purchase of large fish-hooks for a
grapnel by Webster, which are found in his
room -a ball of twine also, a part of which is
found on the body and the finding of his knife
with part of the body. On the other hand no
use of Ihe grapnel is proved, and the knife was
usually left in the room ; no clothing is found,
and jO rcnWSnts tf clothing, except a single
shirt button in the ashes of the furnace; Web
ster is prov-'d to bo at homo by his family at
times whnr Littlcfield swears that l.n was lock
ed up in lie college, and to be at one place in
Boston at 5 p. m. on Ihe 23d of Nov., at which
hour Dr. ?arkman was seen alive by two wit
nesses in another part of the city. In short, the
defence mainly was that Webster was at homo
when Littlefield was having him in the college.
and tha; seven witnesses swear to seeing' Park-
man at various times between ten minutes to '.I
and half past 5 p. m. of the 23d of November
i. c. from 20 minutes to 4 hours after Parkman
and Webster met, according to the testimony,
and lo the admission of Webster.
The court in the charge was prctly decided
lo the effect that the body was Parkman's that
there was proof enough to show maliccin eb
ster, if ho killed him and that the testimony to
prove an alibi amounted lo nothing. The jury
gave a ri;:ht verdict under the charge; but we
cannot help thinking that while the circumstan
ces are very strong against Webster while the
public will adjudge him guilty it would bo
possible in this way to convict a perfectly inno
cent man.
Death of the Hon. J. C. Calhoun.
This event, which will be regarded cj one of
no inconsiderable importance in every sretion
of ihe country, took p'acc at Washington on
Sunday morning last, at half past 7 o'clock.
tic was distinguished as a member of both bran
ches of Congress, as a cabinet minister at vari
ous times, and as Vice President, by extraordi
nary talents but most signally and least honor
ably distinguished as a defender and eulogist of
the system of American Slavery, for the perpet
uation or defence of which he has moie than
once been ready lo set the Union at defiance.
He had arrived at an aee which few Southern
men out live, )et doubtless his death was great
ly hastened by the exciting scenes of the pres
ent session, and particularly the dissent of South
ern men to some of the views which he list ex
pressed lo the Senate on the Slavery question.

Death of Ephralm Low. Died, at tho jail
house, in this village, last Tuesday rnornin". Mr.
Ephraitn Low, one of tho Groton prisoners corn-
nutted to prison last Thursday, and held to trial
on a charge of counterfeiting. He died of lung
lever. On Wednesday night of last week he
was present in the court room, but complained
of being quite ill. He was taken back to the jail
house, anil put into a room on the lower floor,
with his wife for an attendant. On Friday he
was said to be better. Subsequently he grew
worse, and medical aid was promptly rendered.
He refused, however, to take much, if any medi
cine, and appeared entirely indifferent as lo his
recovery. ,It is said that he expressed a wish to
die, and during his last hours was senseless or
delirious. It is supposed that the tedious ex
amination before the Court of Inquiry, and the
mental excitement consequent upon it, hastened
his illness. He made no confession whether as
to his own guilt, or that of the other prisoners.

CONGRESS.
MorrDAT, March 25.
Senate. Mr. Webster rose to make an explan
atior. for the purpose of defending his recent
speech from the charge of being inconsistent
with his remarks on the subject of slavery made
in IMS. lie said some person naa been euiiy
ing Ihe Senate, and perhaps the country, by
sending around a piece of paper with his name
upon the top ot it, quoting from the two speech
es. The quotations had also been made, he un
derstood, in the Senate. He would undertake
now to say that if anybody could make these
quotations for the purpose of showing any incon
sistency, he cither did not understand the sub
ject or was not candid. There was no ir.consis-
- ... . - . f
tency. no had never voteii lor any increase oi
slavery or slave territory, but he had said tha'
he would carry out the compact with Texas.
Having icsistcd unsuccessfully the making of
the compact, he would not now violate it alter it
was made. Jt was not Ihe part ot a statesman,
nor of an intelligent, honest, oandid man so to
act,
Mr. Hale replied that the Texas compact was
was made in '4G, and was just as much a reality
in 4i3 as il was in ou, and it certainly oiu seem
to him that under the circumstances there was
an unwarrantable difference.
Mr. Webster rejoined, if tho Senator d
not quote (or the purpose of charging hiin wit
inconsistency, he could not see what was his oU
lect. It could not be fairly inlerred Irom his re
marks made in we, that ho designed undoing
what Congress had already done, tils remark
could only apply to future legislation. Ho had
already voted against the acquisition of Slavery
territory. He voted agjinst the war and the
treaty, because they were waged, and made, for
the uurnoso of acquiring slave territory ; ami i
Mr. Hale and two or tt.ree others on his side ol
the Chamber had voted with him, this controver
sv had never come here. Why did not the Sen
ior vole to keep out the territory ? Mr. Hale
reminded the Senator from Mass. tint a motion
was made to amend ihe treaty, by inserting a
proposition prohibiting slavery in the lerwory
winch should b acquired upon that lie voted
in the affirmative, wh.le Mr. Webslei's vote was
not recorded, although in the ClumbcT five min
utes before and five afterward, tic l.ur llale,
iad voted against the war and voted for the
reaty, because lie considered a bail peace bet
er than war. lie believed there was a great
difference in ihe positions taken by Mr. Webster
at ihe periods mentioned. If be was wrong in
hat opinion fie was not alone. 1 he whole coun
try thought the same thing. The opinion also
found support in the fact iliat Ihe (iiooe ceivspa
per, winch had been continually pouring out its
abuse upon the head of gentlemen from the
iNorth, the lion, benator among Hie rest, until
Ins last speech was dclivced, when the editor
evinces Ins conviction and apprubalien ot the
change, by exhausting the vocabulary almost
to find terms siilucienliy laudatory ot the post-
ions now- taken.
Mr. Wr.nsTtr. thought Mr. Hale not compo
tent to pronounce the opinion of the who'ecoun-
try ; lie might speak for liiu.sell ; but the "hole
country was too large a jurisdiction, flede
mrreil against Ins (.eclarauer.s ; he licsittted,
douLted, repelled the statement as to the opinion
of the whole country. The matter, after nil, a-
ourited justtoilus: The observations of the
Senator from N. II. look a little flivor nnd pr-
rume, because it was not agreeable to that gen
tleman to see that a portion of the press, w.iohad
ituerto ben opposed to him (Mr. W .) was now
coining out in his favor.
Air. Douglass, from the Committee on Terri-
ries, reported a hill lo admit California into the
Union, and a bit' organizing the Government of
ulali and rew-Mexico.
Alter some conversation in relation to a pro-
posiiion lor some measures securing a more
prompt execution of the public printing, ihe Sen-
e proceeded lo the consideration ol the special
rder, the motion to refer the Presii'enl's Calilor
ia Message.
.Mr. IIu.nter having the floor, addressed Ihe
Senate at length upon tho question of Slavery,
maintaining the right of the South to take their
aves into Ihe Territories, and picturing the
vils which would result from emancipation.
He
e took decided Southern ground, and anticma-
d in view ol the history ot the pasi, no Hernia-
cm security for the future. He felt lhat the
Union could not be permanently preserved by
any patcheil-up compromise, but was ready for j
himself, to do any thing that promised peace, if
consistent with iho constitutional rights of his j
Stale.
.Mr UriiAM obtained the floor, and the subject
was posiioncd until Monday neL
AHer ihe consideralion of Executive business,
adjourned.
IloL'sr.. The bill lo supply deficiencies in
appropriations of ihe present fiscal viar was
taken up, and the question, on Ihe amendments
reported from lha Committee of the whole on the
s'nte of Ilu Union, vvas agreed to.
The House went into Coinuiillcc of the
Whole on ihe Slate of the Union, and resumed
the consideralion of the Cal. forma question.
Mr. Thursto.v, of Oregon, said he'vnsthc
first representative from Oregon on this floor.
He came here no! as a parly man, though he
belonged to a party ; he came hero not js a sec
tional man, though 'he belonged lo a s ection.
Oregon was deeply interested in ihe question
before the Committee. He had been grievcii to
hear California slandered and heaped all over
with calumny, because she had dareil to use the
first law of nature to prelect herself and form
a Constitution ; and as he was for admission, his
opinion was that Ctlifornia should be admitted
into the Union without plucking a single hair
fmm the silver locks of her guidon Con-titution
He held that any one State has not only a Con
stitutional right to ask, but to denun l, admis
sion. Mr. Calhoun in the Senate, took ground
that hen a State presents herself, with a proper
Constitution, Congress his no right to deny her
admission ifso, Ihey run over the Constitution
and laws. The question is, is tho Constitution
of California Republican? In the whole histo
ry of this country, a Coutnut o:i cannot be found
more Republican, and with more extended views
with regard to human rights. Objection had
been made to the boundaries; but slie had but
one good harbor that deserves to be o entitled,
and this he proceeded to show from the book of
'Japt, Wilkes and his own observations. She
contains no more area than she ought to have.
One hundred and forty-four thousand square
miles look large, but "he held himself ready to
prove that California does not coniain cn-Mhird
the arable land uf Ohio, not one-fourth of Penn
sylvania, nor onn-fifih of Virginia, reckoning
those States as containing arable land. Captain
U'iIkcs thought that ihe amount of arable land
do;s not exceed 12,000 square miles. Califor
nia according lo Cotton, does not exceed Iho old
Bay State in agricultural resources. Tlie oun
try, for the most part, was barren, the abode of
wolves and birds of prey ; nnd their appearance
indicates that they are nearly starved. He con
tended that the Convention to form the Slate
Constitution was not brought about by General
Taylor; in other words, lhat the Coustiiution
was not crammed down their throats. It was
purely a mailer of the people then selves. He
gave a history of past events to prove that nei
ther General Riley, General Taylor, .lor Thomas
Butler King, had any thing to do with the (urin
ation of the Constitution. The in in, who mi the
platform ot a public meeting there, endeavoied to
show that General Riley was right, was hused
ofT. If Gereral Taylor had endeavored lo dic
tate, he would have found himself mistaken
Mr. King never sot foot ou the soil of Monterey
while the Convention was silling. It Mr. Kin"
had endeavored to influence Ihe people, lie could
not have done so, for ihe Democrats were suspi
cious that he came there to make California a
Whig Stale. He had no more influence with
the people than the man in ihe moan. If ho had
made any recommendation, it is likely ihev would
have acted to the contrary.
Mr. Breck (of Ky. Whig) remarked that there
were some who looked on what had been said
by gentlemen as mere menace and bravado
but he was not one of these. The country had'
been in danger before. Republics have been
the victims of pollution and passion, and we had
guarantees against being affected by influences
of th:s kind. He believed the omens are ill,aud
the times out of joint. The result ot his reflec
tion was and which he had been reluctant to
believe that the country is in danger, and lhat
in no period in our history has the spirit of con
ciliation and compromise been more required to
save the country from possible calamity. It
has been emphatically announced that if Con
gress abolish Slavery in tho District of Colum
bia, or exclude it from tho Territories, the South
will take action for protection, secession or dis
solution. Whether the declaration was worthy
of authority, and whether such consequences
would follow, he could not to stop to examine.
Ho was opposed to both these measures, and so
was Kentucky, he had the honor in part to rep
resent. He would not speculate as to what her
course would be sufficient unto the day was Ihe
evil thereof ; but he believed neither event
would happen, unless the exclusion of slavery
from California be regarded as equivalent to an
aggressive measure. There are other causes op
crating calculated to destroy the ha'inony of thr
country, and the tendency threatened an al inn
ing result. He alluded to the division of th
parties on tho question of slavery; and therefor'
it became the duty of all to preserve a Unioi.
under -vhich we have been, and arc so prosper
ous, hajpy, great and powerful. He believed
that the question ought to be eettled. The agi
tatton is unnatural ar.d uniioly, and jeopards !h
safety of this Government. Congress may sc
tie tho question without sacrifice of principlc.-
The President has recommended non-action. I
the question cannot bo settled in any other way
tins may be the wisest. 1 lie Calitoimaus torin
ed their Constitution in self-defence. It is true
there were some inequalities. All the States
admitted except Texas had Territorial Guvern
ernments, but she was independent and owed no
allegiance. California had no territory neither
iras she an independent State, yet ho was by un
means prepared to say thai she was wrong. Her
only alternative Congress having failed to pro
vide a Terriiorul Government was anarchy, or
a form nf Government for themselves. It was
right lhat she should provide for her protection.
Her Constitution bears the impress of American
citizen", i no idea that any extraneous intlu
ence, with regard lo slavery, was exerted in the
formation of her Constitution, was without shad
ow of evidence lo sustain it. Objections were
made lo her population mid uounaanes, uut in
the eyes of Northern gi ntlemcn all these fade
away. I hey ore impatient for the admission . J
California. The clause, excluding slavery. like
a inanilc, covers all objections and irregularities.
If these clauses were out there would be a diff
erent leeling. He was willing to admit Califor
nia, notwithstanding this, provided Territorial
Governments be provided for the Territories,
leaving out the slavery restriction; or he would
be willing to run the .Missouri boundary line.
Let Congress pass a law more fully lo carry out
he clause in the Constitution for restoration of
fugitive slaves, and all will be well. No man of
the Committee has a stronger desire for Union
than he has ; lie was a native of the State whose
star never sets ; but for thirty years ho had resi
led in Kentucky, and he would say m llic lan
Miagc of one uf old, to the latter, " Where thou
g..est I will go; where thou liest I will lie; thy
people shall be my people ihy God my G f."
Mr. ilAKius ('ocol ot HI. obtained the lloor
when ihe Comm ttee- rose.
An effectual aticinpt was made to pass tha
Senate bill lor thp reliefof the widow of General
Worth ; and tne House adjourned.
I uesoav, March 20.
In the S nnf, Mr C omens presented a i ti-

it was passed over.
Mr loote moved the territorial bill, which was
eporled yesterday, be made ihe order of tho
day f r Friday next.
Mr Benton said the friends of California now
mean to act. For one he should press the Cali
fornia bill first, and should struggle for her from
this time liirlh.
Mr Foote replied characteristically. Ho
thought the senator's friendship for California
was dictated bv personal and selfish considera
tions, and should oppose the bill until the terri
torial question was settled.
Mr lienton was much excited, and replied to
.Mr I'oi te, pronouncing the attack upon his u:o
ives to be lal-e and cowardly.
Mr Foote rejoined calmly, and retorted the
charge of cowardice.
.Mr Benton inquired whether a senator was to
be blackguarded here?
Mr Foote replied " ves, if he is lo be black-
guarded.-'
1 hechair interfered and oruer was restored.
The subject was then postponed, as was also

up, and Mr Chase sooke two hours on t'so sub
ject of slavery, when tho Senate adjourned.
in me iiuuse, Mr I reslon King moved to
lake up his resolution of tho 13n inswnl, to
stop the debate on the California bill. The mo
tion was ruled onl of order.
.Mr King raised a question of privilege, and
charged in writing that the Speaker had inu'ih-
leil ins resolution, chinamg the word but to inr s
sase. Ii.tei.se leeling and confusion pievailed,
amidst wh.cli the Speaker called Mr Winthrop
to the chair.
'I he proceedings were then road, afier which.
Mr Holmes inovud for ihe appointment of a com
mittee uf invcstigat'oi.
The Speaker explained tho reason of his
course in changing a oid in the proceedings
from bill to message, which was before the house
on the 13 Ii, and he did not therefore order the
motion of Mr King to be put,
Mr Holmes then withdrew his motion for a
committee of investigation,
Air Dun offered a res ilution for exculpatin"
tip: Speaker anJ censuring Mr Km".
.Mr Schcnck moved to amend tho resolution
by striking out the censure of Air King.
Air King explained. He did not doubt the
explanation of iho speaker, and he did not doubt
his statement of the facts; blithe still thought
lie designed to connect the terri' orial wiih the
California question.
Altich couiu-ion and excitement prevailed.
Air U'eniwonh warned ihe house ihata storm
w-ould be raised at the north by censuring Air
King.
Air Holmes renewed his motion for a commit
tee of investigation, and it ws adopted, 91 to
00.
The house went into commi tee of the whole
on the California message. Air Harris, ot Illi
nis, advoca-.ed ihe admission of California, and
disapproved of ihe Nashville coi.ventiou as a
secret conclave which was uncalled for.

In the Senate, .Mr Hale quo ed Mr lluchonan
in proof of his former statement that the north

-Mr King, in reply, concurred to a great ex
tent in Air Buchanan's opinion.
.Mr IJcntoii, at his own request, was excused
from serving on the committee of foreign rela
t ons.
Air Benton rose and explained the report of
jesierday's proceedings pfl dished in the Na
tional Intelligencer. Ho said tint his on re
marks were correctly rcporicd, and plainly inti
mated that those of" Mr l'ooto had been altered
by himself, and declared t ie report of them lo
be false from beginning to end.
Air Foote, in rctilv. ackuowludrred tint he bad
corrected ihe report, and intimated his reailino.-s
to meet .Vlr Benton in the Hold. 'Hie subject
was then passed over.
Tho consideration of Mr Clay's compromise
