STATE OF VERMONT.
A P R OC L A NJ A T 10 N
BY THE GOVERNOR.

MAN, in his individual and associated capacity
is, and must ever be, entirely dependent upon the
wise and denefcent Sovereign of the Universe.
Being the subject of his creating power and pre-
serving goodness, the obligation to acknowledge
His authority, to obey His commands and submits
sively to acquiesce in His dispensations, will al
ways remain Nor is the term Free and indie
pendent" to which, as people, we are so strong
y attached, in any case inconsistent with the pro-
fourdest Acknowledgements of allegiance to the
Providential and moral government of GOD
Nor is freedom from these paramount duties and
obligations either possible or desirable.
Agreeaby to a long and wholesome usage, and
in accordance with the principles and dictates of
our Holy Religion which teach, not only the re-
ation which individuals and communities sustain
their dependence upon Him for mercy and par
don Il do hereby appoint FRIDAY, THE
FIFTH DAY OF APRIL NEXT, to be observed
in Offices of HUMILIATION, FASTING AND
PRAYER.
And would earnestly request all the inhabit-
ants OF this State to convene with their respective
assemblies and, in their temples dedicated 70 the
worship of the MOST HIGH, with devout and
conrlte hearts, confess their sins and inplore par
dor ana protection. And while we devouty re-
cognise our dependence upon the experimenting
Providence of ALMIGHTY GOD and recount
the blessings of the past year, let seek his favor
on the upon which we have Just entered, and
with desp sense of our unworhness, with a spir-
it of sincere penitence, pray that, through the
riches of the grace of our Divine Master we NAV
receive forgiveness.
Let it be day of faithful determination of
holy resolutions to forsake all vicious practices, to
resist temptations to sin by controlling every i'm
proper propensity and passion.
Let US commend ourselves with all our wants
our state, its government and concerns our ma
tiona rulers and all the interests of the Union to
the guidance and favor of Heaven.
Let US pray that peace may be enjoyed among
ourselves and with all nations That plenty may
abound in our store-houses and health in all our
dwellings That the people may be prospered in
all useful enterprises and callings That our col
leges, academies and schools may be best; that
all who minister at the sacred altar may feel
their responsibility, faithfully discharge the duties
of their high vocation and become instrumental in
leading others in the "path that shines brighter
and brighter unto the perfect day." and finally,
that all our fellow men who are either in physical
mental or moral slavery, may enjoy the blessings
of liberty and the opportunity of social and reli-
gious instruction
Given ua,der mig hand and the seal of said state,
at Shoreham, this eight day Of March, in the
gear Of our Lord one thousand eight hundred

22S emigratng Cherokees arrived at this place,
on the steamer Victoria, under the charge of Capt
Drew, on their way west. These are the last of

Death Of Rer. Mr. Fanzey.-Thc New Orleans
Observer, of the 10Th ult., states that Rev. Josiah
F. G. Finley, Colonial Agent of the Mississippi
Colonization Society in Africa, is dead Inforlna-
ton of this fact reached us some weeks since, but
in the hope that it might prove to be incorrect, we
forbore to mention the circumstance. Late letters
have been received from the acting colonial ply
stefan at Greenyille, stating that Mr.. Finley, on
the 10th of Sept. last, starred from the colony in
order to visit Bassa Cove and Monrova. The
journey was Of course by sea, and intended to ben
eft his health, as we'll as to enable him TO attend
to some important business. When the vessel ar
rived near Bassa Cove, Mr., Finley left it and
went on shore in a canoe of the Kroomen, and
landed at t.ie town of the Fishermen, two miles
from the Maryland colony. The natives, discov-
ering that he was in possession Of money, put him
to death. Further particulars we expect to be
able to lay before our readers next week.

SLAVERY VS.. MIssIoNs.-It appears from South
Carolina papers, that few months since, a remon-
STRANGE was addressed to Rev. Mr.. Turpin," pro-
testing against the operations of Home Mis-
sions" In this Remonstrance, (Which was " sign
ed by James S. Pope and 352 others, y they say,
that they regard the federation of oral instruction,
as the foundation of the cornerstone of system
on mich will be built the Superstructure of a6ozi-
t,om;' and that, if home missions to slaves
should be generally approved a stepping-stone
Will be acquired on oral instruction, for a higher
Sr0ae Of mental Improvement, IN order to tacili-
tdte rel'gaoas instruction." They also say that
"hen the black population see improvement en-
GouTaged, they aciH supply themselves aoith b.
DLEo, hymn-6ookS and catechiSns." that "the
ambition OF those who cannot read, will be aroused
to emulate those who can" and that nroores-
slve system OF improvement will be introduced
that will ultimately revoutonize our civil ;nst;,u'
tons" 'A4 i'S'i'o-
They then attempt to show "the danoerous
tendency to the peace of the white community, ~
permitting black congregations to assemble for
religious purposes" They also say, that " as
the colored man is enlightened, his condition will
be rendered more unhappy and intolerable" and
that intelligence and Slavery hare no a6iity 70,
each other."
How can any one maintain, in view of facts
like these that the STAKEHOLDER is DESTROYS of eman.
cipating his slaves, or of extending to them reli
glous privileges? And what must be the state Of
religion where such measures are resorted to?

Close Of Congress. 1t is with deep shame and
modification, we feel ourself called upon to state
that Congress continued its sittngs through Sat
urday night till Sabbath morning at 3 o'clock, and
then from 10 o'clock on the Sabbath, till after mid
night, thus breaking one of the strictest commands
of God. One of the members of Senate declared
that if the apostle Paul was on earth, he would
consider the work the Senate had to do that day,
as work of charity and mercy
The papers state that on Saturday night, num-
Der of the members were drunk, and that one was
found stretched out, with a bottle of brandy be-
side him And this is in the United States; q
land making greater pretensions to morality and
Christianity, than any other on the face of the
earth.-Zion'S Herald

TIME exercises of this institution com.
Il PRISE the various branches OF an Eng
lish education. The method of imparting
instruction to the scholars, is on pan
differing essentially from the old mode,
and is believed to be preferable to it.
One Of the objects Of education, and not
the least important, is the cultivation Of
the feelings, which is frequently overlook
cd, and can never be effected by rash and
austere treatment, which only tends to
sour the temper, and render the DISPOSE
ton ungovernable. The human mind is
SO constituted that il receives Instructions
with more facility, when actuatcd by a
principle Of love and independence, caused
by wise and prudent management, than it
does when under the dominion Of fear, en-
gendered by degrading and unnatural pun
ishment 1t is,therefore, believed, that rea-
son and persuasion have more salutary
influence in combating the bad habits
contracted by children, than punishment
of any kind, and that they are the only
stimulants necessary for the good govern.
ment and advancement of a school.
The situation and character of ZION
HILL are too well known } require par
ticulat description. II is enough to say
that il is healthy and respectable Cen
tlemen who may think proper to place
their sons or wards at this school for in
struction, may rest assured that the most
sidulous attention will be given to their
manners and morals, and every indulgence
compatible with habits of study. The tu-
tion foe is two dollars per month. Gen
tcel boardingcan be obtaihed in the neigh
borhood convenient to the school.
