Sir: return this letter to you with the assurance
that the report it contains is UTTERLY FALSE.
The only truth in the whole statement is that Major

gisature adjourned Friday morning, after session
of three weeks Both branches strongly Federal,
and the majority have, of course done just what they
pleased. We have no time this week to review their
acts Suffice it TO say that they have reroinioni-ed the
country of Washington by placing it under the control
of entire of Federal officers and chartered two
Banks montpelier and Poutncy) and recharlered four
more, bennington, Danve, Rutland and Vergrnnes,)
without giving adequate security to the pablo for the
redemption of their bls-no private property by bond
mortgage, or otherwise. Perhaps they will be able to
satisfy the people that this is right, but we doubt it.

Wo conn mend TO The especin attention OF the
reader The Report Of the Superintendent OF The
Vermont Asylum for the Insane, npo1 our first
page or all tho diseases ID which mankind Is
subject insanity is the dreadful, and its prop
err treatment The least unders TODD by common prac
titoncrs And il is n matter OF rejoicing that oar
State has bencvoIenly rendered its aid ia the es
adjustment of an institution whore those not in
their right mind may be brought within reach of
SIX II and moral sanaiivo Influences. This institu-
ton, aided by lhs emily htened and humane legis-
Ia,ion of the State, is now ono The best in the
country.
To Selectmen, this subject is Of great conse-
quence. How oIien does II happen that an indi'
vidual Of limited means becemes dcranged, and
is thrust into the cold embraces ofthe aims house
where there is scarcely hope of his recovery, and
where he remains as long as he lives, maniac,

when, had he been sent to an Asylum II short pc
rod in The early progress of the disease, he might
have been restored blessing to his friends and TO
society. Such is not only miserable economy, but
il is doing violence 10 humanity. Not a small por
ton Of The tenants Of our aims houses are insane,
either abandoned as ncurabIe, or without the ben
eft OF ,hat treatment which is necessary TO heal
their disordered brain.
The manner OF treating insanity is G1uch better
understood by the hospitals in this country than ii
is by similar institutions in Europe. The deaths
in The hospitals in the United States the past three
years average about 6per cent, while in Europe
they average about 20 per cent

U'rhc Van Buren, papers say that Gen Harri
son is beset with numerous applications for Office
There may be truth in this-for i, is disgracefully
true that the minds of many persons, have been,
within the last ten years, turned to office seeking.
The party just defeated succeeded in obtaining the
ascendency by raising the cry, "that to the victors
belong the spoils." And they used the money of
the nation though it thus; and it would no,
be strange after their example to find some indvd
uas now foolish TO desire to follow in their
footsteps. But they will not find either Jackson or
Van Buren, in Gen. Harrison. Applications, it is
said have been made to him for office, and when
inquired ofby fiiend what he should do in refer
to them, his reply was, the last first, and the
first last" This is right, and he gsoon will stop
the Office hunting mania which has cursed the
country for the last ten twelve years 1t will
die off as fast as Van Burenism rots and perisbes
whe shall have less Swarwouting and official
corruption Thus will one object be secured which
the people had in view eec,ing Harrison.
