Temperance Convention.

In the absence of any official account of the
proceedings of the late Temperance Convention
at Woodstock, we give the following, from the
Vermont Chronicle:
The State Temperance Convention met al
Woodstock, according to appointment, on Wednes.
day last. Hon. Jacob Collamer, of Woodstock
was elected Presidents Hon. Zimri Howe, of Cas-
Teton, Vice President; George B. Manser, Esq
of Montpelier, and William Weston, Esq, of Bur-
lington, Secretaries.
Delegates were present from all parts of the
State, and the business was conducted with much
spirit.
The leading subjects before the Convention were
the circulation of the Temperance Star" and the
License System.
The Vermont Temperance Star is published al
Montpelier, under the direction Of the Managers
of the State Temperance Society. 1t was obvious
from the statements made and the spirit exhibited
that the Star would have an extensive circulation
at least in some parts of the State. In some towns
and circulate at least one copy to every two fam.
lilies. At meeting of the Temperance Society
in this village on Saturday evening, subscriptions
were obtained for more than 100 copies and q
committee appointed to extend the subscription SC
as to secure copy for every family We have
letter from the President of the State Society," in
which he expresses the hope that arrangements
will be made for placing a copy in every family
in the State. Let the friends of the cause take
hold with becoming zeal and perseverance, and
the work is done.
"TERMs. The Temperance Star will be sent
to subscribers for one year on the following terms
copies directed singly SO cents each; IL copies tc
one address 25 cents each; 26 copies do. 90 cents
each; SO copies do. 90 cents each; alaoays in ad
ra1,cc. Address George B. Manser Montpelier
postage paid"
In regard to the second subject named, the con-
clusion we understand, was, that Memorials to
the Legislature should ask for an Act repeating
the License Laws, and prohibiting the traffic ii
ardent spirit as a beverage; and that the act be
referred to the people for sanction or rejection.
We were unable to attend the Convention, anc

Maine Boundary Dispute.

AS the difficulties on the Maine frontier are as
suming more formidable aspect, we have gath
cred from various sources a succinct account OF
the history and merits of the dispute The dis
trict which is now called Maine at that time inclu-
ded portion of the province of Massachusetts
Bay, was acknowledged by the King of Great
Britain as "a free sovereign and ndpeendant state
in the treaty of peace of Sept; 81, l783 The
second article of that treaty defines the boundary
line betweenth United States and the possessions
of Great Britain. 1t says :" 1t is hereby agreed
and declared that the following and shall be
the boundaries Of the United States, to wit
From the northwest angle of Nova Scotia to
wit that angle which is formed by line drawn
due north from the source of the St Crox river to

Ocean, to the norwesternmost head Of the Connect
icut River" Again, further on, it says East by

has been more ardently desired by u.s. than that
the period might soon arrive when we could, IN
good faith, hold out TO the community the eXpec-
aton that the obligations of the Bank in respect
of its notes would be amply satisfied.
But many and formidable obstacles were found
in the way. These it is unnecessary to particu-
larze. Some Of them are well known to the pub
lie. The labors, the hazards, and the anxieties,
however, attending the removal Of these hindran-
ces, can be known only to those who have suffer-
ed them, We INDUCED the hope that certain
claims in favor Of the bank would, sometime since,
have been in whole, or in great part, secured, and
that thereby sufficient assets would be obtained.
While our operations to such an end were in pro-
gress, we could not have made any declaration as
to the ability of the institution to take up its paper,
without mourning the heaviest personal response
blity, and exposing ourselves to deserved censure
in case of failure
But it is now in our power to break silence
Having very recently succeeded to obtain possess
ion of sundry securities on which we rely for the
realization of assets, we feel justified in saying
that, allowing for those contingencies against
which no human prudence can furnish certain
guaranty, the outstanding notes of the bank will,
according to our best judgment and sincere belief
be eventually redeemed by payment in full. So
strong is our confidence in the certainty of that
result, that we regard it our imperative duty to
caution all holders of said notes to retain them in
their hands for redemption at the bank
1t may be proper to add that the Bank Inspector
has been invited to examine the affairs Of this bank
and that so soon as his inspection shall have been
made, an exposure of its condition will be given 10
the public.

A word, sir, about giving people their liberty
before they are fitted to enjoy it, Here, sir, you
seem to be in the wilderness, as we'll as the Israel
ties. But alas, you have not like them cloud to
guide you. God did not lead the Israelites into
Canaan Immediately, because Of their um6elief;
but he did give them all their liberty Immediately,
and executed terrible vengeance on Pharaoh and
all his people, because they would not let his peo-
pie go. The emancipation was immediate and
unconditional. God did not leave his oppressed
people to be fitted to enjoy liberty under the iron
yoke Of cruel task-nasters. He first gave his
people their liberty, and then undertook himself
to prepare them to enjoy their liberty. Here is
the perfect pattern which abolitionists wish to fol-
low. Would not Mr.. Cresson, had he been con-
suited, have taken very different course would
he not have said, you must first prepare these
slaves to enjoy liberty, before you emancpate
them? Gods thoughts, Mr.. Cresson, are not like
our thoughts, nor His ways like our ways. But
is He not wiser than man and will you not learn
from His example to preach immediate and un-
conditional emancipation
From the subject, as presented, it seems natu-
raj to make the following remarks:
l. Colonies have been settled by good men, and
they have been settled by very bad men.
2 That apostate priests have been ready to
countenance bloody and idolatrous colonizationiss,
and may do SO again.
3. That very wicked men may be presidents of
colonization societies.
T. That those who preach, you must prepare
slaves to enjoy liberty before you emancipate
them, exactly reverse the order which God has
established He emancpates, then teaches.
s. The doctrines of the abolitionsts agree with
the conduct and claims of God. They say to
shareholders, as God did to Pharaoh, lie. the OPP
pressed go-unconditonally and immediately
Their doctrine is as old as Moses And those
who resist this doctrine, may be found fighting
even against God, and have their portion with
Pharaoh and his host
6. 1t is no evidence that claims are not just be-
cause wicked men resist them, and are driven by
them to acts of desperation. Such was the case
with Pharaoh, and the oppressed were made to cry
out under his oppression, And the truth often
drives wicked men to desperation.
7. The same spirit that led Pharaoh to oppose
the immediate emancipation of his slaves, will
doubtless lead all his children to oppose the mmc-
diate emancipation Of their slaves.
8. Mr.. Cresson must be gerry unsafe guide as
to facts and reasoning. And those who depend
on his statements will be very likely to be decei
ved if all his statements are as incorrect those
we have considered. If he be an honest man, he
must see with his fingers, and reason with his ell
bows. And when public lecturers can throw out
matter so crude and incorrect, those who hear will
do we'll to examine facts, and reason for them
selves. K1AH BAYLEY.
