STATE OF VERMONT.
A PR0CLA NJ A TI0N,
BIZ The GOVERNOR


II is known to my fellow CITIZENS that
disturbances have broken out in the reIgh-
boring province of LOWER CANADA
which have resulted in bloodShed. Inc
head Of the Provincial Government has
issued his proclamation declaring martial
law in the district Of Montreal.
This state ofthingS necessarily changes
the relations which have heretofore exist
ed between the inhabitants of this State
and the Province, and the possibility tn3'
any, through the influence Of ardent feel
ings, may be betrayed into acts OF unau /,
thorized interference induces me to can
the attention Of my fellow citizens 10 the
subject.
With the kingdom of Great Britain we
are ia state Of profound peace. we
have treaties with the government when
II Is our duty, and trust our DESIRE 10
tulfii to the letter.
1t is obvious that as a nation we nave
no ght to intermeddle with the constltu
tlon OF any neighboring power. WINE
as republicans We prefer that form OF gov
ernment under which it is our hapPInfsS
to live, decen, regard for the opinion o
others, will prevent all dictation as TO the
form OF their government. :
Principles which have been admitted
Tor ages, forbid all national interference
unless in the character Of allies, and 1t ,:
scarcely necessary to add that Individual
should not do that which the goyernmen
eGnaot-mHst not do, H.. Il

the consequences Of such state of things

and our territory be made the theatre of
active warfare. This is not TO be tolerat-
ed Tor a moment, and every good citizen
VIII appreciate the importance. of rebuk-
ing all such acts as may tend to pro-
-dure it.
That comfy which binds nations TO
each other condemns all interference 10
their intestine broils, and the laws of Con-
gress are expIicb in their Remuneration,
subjecting those who improperly interfere
TO heavy penalties and imprisonment
Under these circumstances and with
these feelings, ! have thought it my duty
TO issue THIS MY PRocLAMATIoN. eau
tioning my fellow citizens against all acts,
that may subject them to penalties, or in
any way compromit the government.
Oar first duty is to our own govern:
ment; and the greatest benefit we can
confer on the world is BY giving them a
perfect example in the action of that gov.
eminent. With other nations our con.
duct should be regulated by the princi
pies of an enlarged and enlightened phi
lanthropy. In war we may treat them a:
enc mics; but 10 peace they are to he re
garded as friends In the present pos
ture Of affairs our duty is manifest-lha
}Of a strict neutrality neither lending such
aid to either as would be inconsistent with
that character, nor denying the rights O
hospitality 10 either, so long as they are
within our borders, and maintain tht
character of quiet and peaceabIe citizens
My fellow citizens will appreciate thu
feelings by which l am actuated The
nations honor cannot BE- confIe ed 10 bet

the cause Of liberty was never doubted
1t is only necessary to caution then
against such interference with the right!
Of others as might jeopardize the peace o
our country.
