1t is worthy of notice. that while the colonial

County Conference

The monthly meeting administers and delegates
from the congregational churches in this county,
was holden on Wednesday and Thursday of this
week, at the Free church. The time of the con-
ference was chiefly taken up with preaching. In
the afternoon of Thursday, relations were heard
of the state of religion IN the several churches
represented, including the condition OF sabbalt
schools and bible classes, and whatever else was
supposed to have a bearing on the interests Of re-
igion. The monthly concert for the conversion
of the world was generally represented as being
attended by few. The concert for the enslaved,
we are sorry to say, has not yet, been establish
ed, in more than two or three churches in the
county. We were much Interested in Rev. Mr..
Taylor's account of the Sabbath School connect
ed with his church and congregation in Waitsfeld.
The school is held between the forenoon and after
noon service, and is made up of almost the entire
congregation, numbering more than four hundred.
This is as it should be.
A committee was chosen TO fake ntoconsidera-
ton the interests of sabbath schools IN our county,
and make report at the next monthly meeting Of
the conference, which will be at Middesex Village,
on the last Wednesday and Thursday in June
We hope the next meeting may be fully attended.

Judge Paine's g Present. ("

In a circular letter. addressed by Judge Paine to
the people of Vermont, in December last, that gen.
tleman proposed to make donation of $1,000 to
the Colonization society, on condition that the
friends Of the cause in this state should raise for
the same object, in a given time, the sum Of $4,000.
Considering that the colonzationists in this state
had not raised the sum of two hundred dollars the
last year, and that only six clergymen had been
found to ask collections for that object during the
year, the offer of the Judge was regarded by some
as being very safe one. 1t was, however, hon.
ored with Mandatory notices in the pro-savery
journals, far and near.
AT the late meeting of the New-York city coll
onization society, letter was read from the Judge,
apologizing for his absence, and making some
reference, perhaps to his thousand dollar offer.
The city papers. at all events adverting to the
Judges letter, informed their readers that he had
actually forwarded his donation of $1,000, and the
story, of course, has gone the rounds of the pa
pers. But, alaclk the following, from the last
Woodstock Mercury, is the conclusion of thu
whole matter:
"Judgc Paine, Of Willamstown, requests us to
say that he has been much surprised and mort-
fled at seeing it stated in the Montpelier Watch
man, that he had made present of a thousand
dollars to the Colonization Society, MS he can
claim no such merit but that he intends TO make
such present. if the conditions of his circular LETT
ter of last December shall be complied with"

1t is so common to, hear eIfogiums passed on
the hospitality and generosity of the South in
contrast with the prudence and parsimonv of the
North that even abolitionsts generally take for
granted the hbsralty of the slaveholding region
bhavc long doubted whether this praise were de-
served mot because l. had one particle of that
vile feeling called sectional PRIDE. or because
supposed New England men were one degree bet
ter than Southern men would be undeB similar in
situations. My doubts arose from.the simple con-
viction that SYSTEM so. bad rs; slavery could no,
produce any good results. When | see man
beating and starving his horse, the conclusion
seems exceedingly natural, that he will not be a
very quiet and obliging'neighbor, or very liberal
friend to the poor. The vices, as we'll as the viz
tues are linked together in close relationship He
who habitualIy INDUCES selfish and violent feelings

en-, if he does not finally DESTROY all the dsinter-
ested, humane, and tender impulses of his heart

such differences concerning the benevoIence of

spirit amounting almost to madness. Were Mr. Riyes

PICK (INGs) EMS UPON BLAIR.

+" II may be safely said that the election Of Mr.
PcKEss Gas Speake) would give general saiisfac-
tion 10 the Democratic party. His honesty aud ability
are known and appreciated - Fsnnsytvonian Nov.
%.
The Globe will not oppose the wishes Of It's party,
long the party gives it its beggary pabuum OF
subsistence and therefore il dare not openly oppose
Mr.. Pickens. But how severe is the rebuke upon
the government editor conveyed in the above brief
endorsement of Mr.. Pickens' honesty? II is an adj
mission of the truth of the graphic portraits Mr..
Pickens has heretofore drawn of that editor.
On the 23d May, 1885, Mr.. P. in his place. on the
foor Of the Hause, thus describes that parsonage:
He is a base, grovelling cur, who lawns at the
foosoo Of power and fats upon the spittle OF party
IA paltry cormorant Of the spoils"
On another occas IN Mr. Pickens took the liberty
Of likening the official editor to galvanized corpse
in whose hideous visage envy and malignity were
blended in cadaverous union"
Mr.. Pickens' honesty" in these descriptive
snatches Of oratory is sufficiently confirmed by the
fact that, one, probably, " bat a paary cormo-
rant of the spoils," would so easily forget oppro-
brium, insult and oboquy, heaped so thick and
heavy, as Mr.. Pickens cast il upon the meek, for
bearing, but unfortunate Harlequin Of the Globe
office.
"Paltry cormorant of the spells !" Honestly said!
