A WORD OF ADVICE


We have a word OF advice to give TO the Wbias
ofVermont which seems TO us somewhat impor-
tant.
We wish to say to the Wings of Vermont BE
CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THOSE GREAT
PRINCIPLES FOR WHICH WE HAVE COMMENDED Du.
RING THE LAST TWELVE YEARS. Let us sacrifice
every minor consideration upon the altar of our
country Do not the same overpowering motives
exists now as heretofore TO impel us in the sup.
port of Wing principles Have the Utopian
schemes Of locofocoism lost any of their deformi-
:yf Ia not tho present administration fast re.
deeming the pledges that have been made to the
country, although, perba APPS, every measure may
not be perfected exactly 10 our liking? Have the
hopes of any ono who assisted TO bring into powor
the great and good HARRISON, been Disappointed
We believe not. Therefore, cay again, in those
things which ESSENTIAL, let there be UNITY;
in NON -EssESTrALs, LIBERTY; and in all things,
CHARITY.
Particularly in relation TO our approaching State
election, we would say to our friends keep an eye
TO Rhig principles See to it that your votes are
cast for good and true Wigs, and then we are
proof against t0cofocoism --LdmoiHe Wig.

IN Barnet, Of Consumption, Aug. 23d, Miss Ma
RiNpa DAVIS, aged 26.
Miss Davis had been for several years worthy
member of the Congregational Church in Water
ford. She was possessed naturally of al amiahle
disposition, which being heightened and swectened
by the graces of Gods spirit, rendered her much
beloved by her acquaintance and friends. 5E
She bore her Protracted sickness with christian
resignation and iof,itude. That hope which had
cheered her in the hour of trial and ficton sup
ported her in sickness aud distress, was an anchor
to her soul amidst the swelings of Jorden's Hnod.
But a few hours before her departure, she sar up
and wrote her name. She was calm the last.
She died almost without struggle. Her death
ne trust, was only falling asleep in Jesus So that
when Christ who is "ihe believers life shall ap-
pear she twill also appear gIoIy with him"
IL is therefore the high privilege of those of her
yiving friends who possessed with like pre-
cous faith ~ love moi TO mourn US thnse who have
no hope.
Miss Davis was taken of her disease at North
field, Mass and when she became sensible that il
would be fatal she fell great anxiety to return to
her friends She was permitted though very much
reduced by her disease TO make her journey. This
seemed to be all the earthly blessing she craved
She often said aer her return to Barnet, ''she was
now ready and waiting to depart }" yet said she 81
am willing to wait and suffer Gods time -CoM.

BANK OF EXCHANGE

An abs trac ton, Messrs Editors is a Difficult,
thing 10 deal with unless you can get it defined
squeezed into its smallest dim ensions, and made q
thing existing-tangibte
We should thank President Tyler for having
done this in the Bank case. He has reduced the
constitutional scruple about National Bank into
its least dimensions, and presented it in shape TO
be handled. It is no longer boat, looming up in
the fog, and appearing like formidable, stately
ship, which would not like to attact-but it
stands out on the political sea, the thing that it is,
and nothing more-and il is not such an unconquer
able monster after all.
President lyle comedies the point, in effect,
that Bank may be established without niring-
ing the constution-but,h he says, mot such Bank.
You may establish Bank (Fiscal agenD with
branches (agencies) in every State, authorised TO
receive public and private depostes, to purchase
and sell Bills of Exchange, and to issue notes
but your Bank shall not make "local discounts. -
This is the rub, and, if understand the President
Message this is The only point of difference be-
tween him and us. 1t is certainly point altoge her
too small 10 grow about, stick with him, but
Of no manner of importance to any other party in
terested. He cannot get over it. He has scruples
about it-honest ones, too, and thoy demand our
spe CT. We can dol ust well without the iocal
discounts" and we ought to abandon that item.
We want thing-call it by what name you
please-names are nothing we want thing which
shall restore a sound currency, regulate the Ex-
changes, and receive and disburse the pubick rev.
A Bank of Exchange will do all that.
But can such Bank employ with advantage a
large capaR Unquestion ably. Confined to that
business, it will absorb almost The whole Exchange
Of the country. 1t will work cheap in order TO
obtain the bushes, and the rates of exchange be-.
tween distant points will be lower, in few years
that they have ever been before. From this result
the VIII ole community will reap immense adj
vantage nf
Locofocoism predicts the breaking up Of the
Wing party. 1t considers this veto a sort of cal
lapse Locofocoism was never more mistaken, and
il has made some dreadful blunders heretofore. In
stead Of collapse, it is only the letting off little
superfuous steam. President Tyler's arguments
far from unsound and if his Veto had been pla
ced on the ground of expediency, I, for should
have held II to be quite tenable.
Let Locofoco ism FIRE guns and do what other
silly things it pleases; its antics will for
amusement in these dull times;but the way is open
for National Bank, Notwithstanding, at the next
session, if not at this. The currency will be re-
stored, the Exchanges regulated, and the public
revenue be safely kept, maugre all the efforts vi
disappointed dcstructives. We shall have a better
National institution than the Veto has killed If the
Wings in Congress are true to themselves and the
country Boston Atlas.
