ANNUAL REPORT
Of the Board Of the Baptist ConUen-
ton of Vermont. ..

ton Of Vermont.
Dear Brethren We would, ac-
cording to the custom of benevolent
societies at their anniversaries, give
YOU an account Of on doings the past
year. Every society ought, at least
once a year, to be made acquainted
with the operations, resources, and
enbarrassments of its Board of Di--
rectors; so that the whole body may
be able to Judge of the wisdom, and
efficiency of the Board, and to enter
more understandingly into the pros
ecution of the objects for which they
aresassociated.
Canada Mission. Four missiona-
ries have been employed by the
Board, during the year, in the Prov
ince of Lower Canada. Israel lde
has labored, most of the year, with
the Bariord, Compton and Clifton
churches. Nothing of special inter-
est has been enjoyed. Some time
has been spent at a new place called

which continued on her countenance till
she was snatched from our sight We
have sometimes eHeafd of the smiling
countenance and beautiful remains of the
dead, but never saw them so beautiful, till
we saw those of Mary Elvira. She was
like the sweetest rose, broken from the
parent stock but retaining all its fresh,
ness and beauty. y.
Much might we say Of Mary Elvira,
but it is enough TO say of her, that from
her earliest infancy, she evinced such a
lovely disposition, and brilliant mind, that
told her to be ofthe number destined to an
early death. Too pure to live, too lovely
to give up. Yet her friends feel to say
God does all things WELL BLESSED be
the name of the Lord <..:.
Thus have the beautiful and lovely passed
away, but there still fingers around their
tomb, a voice speaking in thunder tones

ready, for in an hour that We think not OF

Where are ye now, we gentle blooming flowers,
That late our eyes IN fondness gazeI upom'
We miss you from the old familiar bower,
Where once youwere, weIook, but you are gone.
Lovely and fair you seemed, where all were fair,
Cherished by all who knew your gentle worth,
Sweet youth & maiien-brother, sister. VII ere
Whereshall we seek you ? not-aIas on earth

In the young blooming morn of vigorous life,
When youths bright hopes might scarce admit a

To thee pale sickness came with noiseess strife.
Vain, then, our tears, and unavaling quite;
Vain all ofhuman aid, and human love;
Thy happy spirit winged its Heaven-ward fight,

Freed spirit I'VE would not thee back recall,
Blest art thou, where thy God is all in all
We mourn but for ourselves, the early dead.
Now, the dread spoiler in his power and might,
Again has entered with his blghting breath
Again from us conveyed the young and bright:
A we'll beloved sister sleeps in DEATH
We hoped this bitter cup from us might fall
That we in love might keep our Mary here:
But He who gave, in wisdom doth recall
Her whom we loved, into happier sphere.
Now, side by side these faded flowers lie,

Thrice happy, if, like them, prepared to die
Like them, prepared to reign anon. the blest

Several Democratic papers are even at
this early day indicating their preferences for

cratic party can keep the wings together SIX

THE PASSAGE OF THE SUB
TREASURY BILL.

The DEED Is DONE The Sub
treasury Bill was on Tuesday passed
by the Federal Locofocos of the
House of Representatives. The vote
shows that had the members elected to
the present House all voted on this lea
ding and distinguishing measure of
Martin Van Buren's Administration, it
would have been REJECTED, as it has
been heretofore, over and over again,
by the representatives of the people,
and by the people themselves.
The whole force that could be mus
tered by the Sub-treasury party was
present excepting one member only,
Mr.. Howard, of Indiana. They num-
bered one hundred and twenty four. If
Mr.. Howard had been present, they
would have been one hundred and
twenty-five strong. One HUNDRED
AND SEVEN members recorded their
votes AGAINST the bill. We wanted
the votes of Messrs. Lawrence, Gran
ger, Anderson, Williams, of Kentucky
all of whom are kept from their seats by
sickness.
Messrs. Corwin and Storls resigned
Mr.. Brown deceased-and Mr..
Wise absent-eight votes. These
would have swelled the Republi-
can force to ONE HUNDRED AND FIJI
TEEN and if New Jersey had been
represented by those who have the
right to represent her, the number Of
the bilPs opponents would have amour
ted TO 100 and the Federal Loco foco
force would have been reduced to 100
Mr.. Fisher. of North Carolina, had he
been present, would have voted against
the bill, as did Mr.. Casey, Mr.. Wick.
and Mr.. Campbell, of South Carolina
This would have made 121-opposed
to the administration leading measure
There is no doubt as to the side or
which the Speakers vote would have
been cast; but if in this case, he had
voted in the affirmative, he would only
| have made a T1E-and the bill woulC
have been lost in spite of him.
If the real wishes of the people al
unequivocally shown in recent cleo
tons, had been respected, there would
have been a decisive majority agains
the bill. The New Jersey pretender
knew that they were voting directl.
against the viii Of the people of tia
State, as unequivocally expressed il
