bic in three years. The money realized from
the loan will be applied TO the payment of the
liabilities incurred by the late administration

was ordered TO a third reading, gives earnest

the lower branch of Congress
The Bank Bill still fingers in the senate; in
deed it seems 10 be conceded that in its pres
ent shape it cannot became a law. We do
not doubt however, that COMPROMISE will be
effected on this question: and we feel every as
surance that the Extra Session will not close
until bill Incorporating National Bank shall
have been matured and passed.

members. out of Catholic population of
perhaps 5000. This population, be it re-
membered, was deeply cursed with intern

the Catholics of Ireland gave birth to the
great reform among the Catholics of this
country. No other denomination can ex'

and social condition of its members, for
the last year, as the Roman Catholic.

If the writer of the above paragraph had any
sense of shame, or any respect for The intelll-
cence of the people of Vermont, ne would hide
his diminished mead beneath the old files of the
Scorpion, and plead guilty 10 the accusations
he has the impotence TO make against better
men. We say it, and we know that more
full blooded Yankee population does not exist
than that inhabiting this and the adjoining
villages and towns, and there cannot be founo
more intelligent, honest and virtuous
people than that comprising this section OF
Windham county. We take 1t the people of
Vermont are mostly American citizens; but

il tie party which rallied lately under hero
