Gam. things that I don't like.

II don't like to see a crowd OF men ,
standing upon the steps in front of the meet
inghouse, until late hour, Sabbath morn
ing. gazing with intolerable boldness at all
who perchance are later to meeting than
themselves. 1t betrays the want of com
mon politeness, besides being source of
great embarrassment to ladies, who are un-
der the necessity of pressing through the
crowd in order TO enter the house.
2. don't like to see half or two-thirds of
the assembly rushing into the house of
PRAYER, after divine service is commenced,
to the very great annoyance of the speaker,
and the evident disturbance of all in the
house; in consequence Of which, worship
must be suspended awhile, or continued to
no advantage.
8. don't like to see those who are in the
habit of singing, desert the choir during the
morning service, and occupy seats below
This practice is often exceedingly embar-
RAISING to him who leads, and others who
assist in singing. 1t speaks a language
something like the following: eve will see
what kind of singing you will have without
as, and in the afternoon we will let you
know what zee can do.''
4. don't like to see the deacon and 9th
er members of the church sleeping during
the time of preaching. 1t savors too much
Of indifference to the subject itself, and is q
source of great grief to the minister.
S. don't like 10 hear whispering, in diff
ferent parts of the house, during service. Il
not only shows great disrespect for the time
place, and OBJECT of worship, but betrays
the want of proper sense Of common de
cency and propriety.
will now name a few things that
do like.
l. like to see people at church, precise
ly al the hour appointed. 1t looks like doin:
business for the Lord, as they would do
for themselves-in season.
2. like to see an assembly all seateC
when their pastor arrives, in the attitude Q
silent prayer for Gods blessing upon tn
word preached.
3. like to see a whole congregatio
formed into a Sabbath School, parents an
children. old and young, all studying i
some form or other, the scriptures, whic
are able to make them wise unto salvation.

Address.

ADD1SESSS
To the Citizens of Vermont on the con-
temPt0ted annexation Of TLxAs to the
UNION.
Fellow itizons.-Ttc Executive Com
miltee of the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society
beg leave briefly to address you on subject
which they deem of vital importance TO the
future destinies of our country. 1t must be
obvious to every one who has paid any at
tention to the signs of the times, that there
is fixed determination ON the part of the
Southern portion of this contederacy, to an
mex the territory OF TEXAS to the already ex-
tended domain Of the United States. This
event we cannot but regard as most disas-
trous, both to the cause of humanity and
the liberties Of the free States
The province of Texas possesses most
luxuriant soil, adapted to the growth ofsuch
produce as is usually cultivated by the labor
Of slaves; is already occupied to some extent
| by emigrants from the Southern States, who
introduced slavery there in violation of the
laws of Mexico, TO whom it then belonged,
and from whose government it has recently
revolted; and1s of sufficient extent 10 make
or states as large as Kentucky.
Should this design ofthe South be accom-
plished, slavery with all its horrors will be
perpetuated in this extensive territory where
it had once been prohibited large market
will be opened for the surplus slaves of the
old slave states, and thus another induce
ment be present ed for the continuance of
the system of slavery in our country and
by the addition of several slave holding
States to our Union, the balance of power
would be thrown on the side of slavery in
our national councils, the consequences of
which to the liberties of the North may we'll
be anticipated lforeboded] by the domineer-
ing spirit & the naughty bearing of the South
ern members of Congress towards our repre-
sentatives whenever any question has arisen
in which the interests of the North have
been supposed in any manner to conflict
with those Of the South.
Citizens of Vermont will you at such a
crisis as this prove recreant to the PRINCIPLES
of liberty which you have ever cherished
with such anxious solicitude? Will you
look cody on and see the odious system OF
slavery, which you profess to abhor, increas-
ed in our country to such fearful extent ?
Will YOU suffer this deep laid plan Of the
dark spirit of oppression to be perfected,
and the letters prepared for your own limbs.
without raising your voices against it o.
We trust not but that, laying aside every
party consideration, by your prompt and
energetic action in the case-by your public
and united expression of sentiment against
the measure-by your instructions to your
servants in Congress, through. our State
Legislature, and by your earnest .remon-
strances to thai body, you will do all in
your power to avert this dire calamity from
our country, and still deserve the. need
