VERMONT TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON. WEDNESDAY,. JAN. 81. 1888.

The best word that can be said for the
following Report, by way Of turning atten-
ton % il and bespeaking for it careful pc
rusal, Is to say that il is exactly worthy of
lie origin-just what might have been eK-
pec,ed from the writer. 1t is made up OF
good common sense, sound argument, and
christian philanthropy. Don'tletit length,
nor the fact that il comes from town so
ciety, deter you from commencing, at once,
on It's perusaL When you have finished it,
you viii say il IS none too long and long
before you get through, you viii have for
gotten that il is from society confined
principally within the limits of q single
town in the State Of Vermont, SO little of ii
isof local character.

Pie revolution Of another year has called
Is together; and it is becoming the ocea-
sion to take brief retrospectof some Of its
events, if haply we may profit BY noticing
he deficiencies Of duty, which may have

the success with which Our feeble efforts
have been blessed, to pledge ourselve
afresh 10 the cause of righteous freedom
and 70 enter upon the labors OF anothe
campaign with zeal and energy NOR
ADEQUATE 20 the faithful discharge Of IN
hish responsibilities which are resting uPol
ms. As men and as christians, in relation

our counirymen. .,.s........-
Another year has been added to IN
amount Of suffering and unutterable an
quish Of the victims Of American slavery
which are continually ascending to Heave
and invoking the just judgments Of Hir
whose ear is ever open to the groans Of tn
afflicted; and another year has been length
ened out in mercy to our guilty countr
that she might yet repent Of her aceumula
ed sins, that, by ceasing from he evil Of he
way, by doing justice and relieving th
oppressed, she may avert the destructio
which for q long time lingereth, and ma
become indeed what she is now imPiousl
professing 70 be-a refuge for the oppresse
The land Of the free--ihe glory Of n

Almighty towards our beloved country, an
the patience and forbearance with whiC
her victims still submit to their grieyor
wrongs, as wei as the large measure
success with which the labors Of the adv
Gates Of their redemption have been blesse
call for the expression Of our unfeign'
gratitude and ,hankfulness. a9
