Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1837-12-13

20 Now is THE TINE, probably breth-
rem and friends, when many of YOU are
| receiving money-especiallv farmers
and experiencing some relief from the
pressure which has been upon US all.
While you are reaping the benefits Of the
products of the past fruitful season, do not
forge: the publisher Of your newspaper.
As many as choose to avail themselves Of
the saving from paying in advance, will
notice that about months Of the 4, have
already expired.
~ In several places where packageS
of IL or more have sometimes been sent
so that the subscribers in such pieces have
received the papers at a reduced price,
the number is now less than IL. This
fact raust not be disregsrded in making
payment. The advertised terms viii not
be departed from. Either full pay must
be seat, or the packages must first be fill
ed up so that they will continue full DUR
ing the gear. The places coming under
falls below twelve, are the following -
Rutland, VT, Jay, N. Y, PerkinsviI'e,
VT, Ticonderoga, N Y, Cornwall, Vt,
Shoreham, VT, Crownpoint N. Y, Der
by, W., Derby Line, Vt, Fairfield, VI,
North Troy, VT, Troy, w., Wesrpou, n.
Y. Some of these places, with some
others, have never had full packages, since
my connection with the paper, and had
not when commenced; and yet indi-
viduaIs in these places have forwarded
only $3.50 each. Such are now again
informed that the so does not discharge
tAem-that the remainder mow stands
against them on my book, and aoAL 5ers-
CURED aoith interest.
CoNsIsTENcY.-The President urges
upon Congress the duty OF special legis-
lation in regard to "the affairs Of the
District of Columbia" And vet he has
pledged himself, before The world, to place
his veto on the very nobIest act Congress
couId possibly perform in regard to these
"af,irsI" Such gIaring inconsistency
would subject the most vulgar blockhead
in private life to ridicule and contempt
But, coming from the highest pnblic
fuuctionary in the nation, it will doubtless
be overlooked by the multitude The
consistency is Of one piece with that
which declares that. all men are created
with the inalienabIe righe to liberty" and
| at the same tins holds millions in the most
a5ject slavcrV-Which asserts the liberty
of the press, and at the same time murders
those who presume to exercise that liberty
which carries the bread OF life 10 the
! hungry abroad, and at the same time role
and Starves the perishing poor at homeI

CANADA.-Statements continue to be
contradictory, and altogether unsatisEac-
tory. 1t is rather apparent. however.
now, that the amount of blood shed, up 10
dates before given, was much less than
heretofore reported. One published ru-
NOR had it that 1000 had been killed
1t is now more probable that the whole
number, from first to last, falls short Of
SO. Every phiIanthropist and Christian
must hope that it is So The deliberate
slaughter, by human hands, OF any num-
Der, however small, Of human beings is
work sufficiently horrifying Efficiently
barharous. A corr, spons!en Of the Yer
mon, Watchman, on whose statements the
editor of that paper seen1s to rely, says
that the number of the revelutionists kill
ed at ST Charles was only I5-the mum.
Der Of wounded about the same.
The President has called the attention
Of Congress to The subject Of casualties
in steamboats, This is well. And il
will be we'll if Congress do not spend six
or nine months in pickering, empty speech
i making, electioneering, gambling, drum
kenness, aud debauehery, TO the neglect
Eofthis and other enormous evils. which
oug CHI to be the FIRST things to occupy the
a attention Of great and good men Standing
where thew stand.
