Temperance in Piusford, V.-The excitement
which has prevailed in this town (Psiord) the
last four or five weeks, is truly cheering and de-
Ighful. We have held meetings weekly, in the
centre of the town. The large Congregational
Church has been uniformly well filled, and the
deepest interest has prevailed. Between five and
six hundred signatures have been obtained to the
total abstinence pledge within the last five weeks
and at least % were hard cases, considered quite
beyond recovery ; but they are now "cothed, and
IN their right minds" Nearly one hundred were
frequent tipplers and common drinkers and we
have not yet heard of single instance of the vi
citation of the pledge. The enthusiasm was com
muncated TO the adjoining towns, and we are re-
ceiving daily applications for temperance lectures.
And can assure you that in the field.
AS yet we have had no opposition. The tavern
keepers and merchants have come in of their own
accord and signed the pledge.

The Governors message has received coInpi-
mens from almost all quarters, in the state and out
of 1.-THE locos always excepted. Tho following
lisa specimen.
GOVERNOR PAlNE'S MESSAGE.
We have made liberal extracts this week from
the Message of Governor Paine to the Legisla-
ture Of Vermont, to which we would invite the
attention of our readers 1t is nm admirable State
paper and one that reflects high honor upon the
new Governor of the Green Mountain State
What can he sounder than his views o. the tariff
and the importance of protecting American indus
trs? Would that such language might find n
place in the message of New Hampshire Gov
ernor. There is no man in this stnte, OF whatev-
err party, who, looking at the subject with an I'M
prejudiced eye, will not most heartily respond to
the sentiments of Gov. Paine on this point even
il lie should not coincide with him in other mat
tiers. New England can never prosper-or not
pcrmanently--so long MS she is underbd and nn-
dersod in her own market by the pauper popuIa-
ton of Europe. Her farmers, mechanics, ana
manufacturers cannot labor for few coppers u
day and put up with Corsicnn jacket once
year. Their labor commands good wages, and
they ask that the products of II may not be rem
dered vaueess 10y the free importation INTO Inc
country of articles of foreign origin, or, in case OF
such importation, that those articles shall have no
advantage in the market those of domestic
manufacture Neither is this request unrensona-
BILE, for we might as well be dependent upon for
egn nations for our laws as for everything we eat
or wear. The true policy OF the American Gov
eminent is to protect American industry and en-
courage American labor, not the industry and la
bor OF France or England. Such protection and
such encouragement arc at the bottom OF our pros
perity. All our great interests, agriculture, manu-
features, and the mechanic arts-ncrwoven as
they are with zach other-thrive under lhem and
will droop if they are withheld. Nothing can be
than this and its truth will be admitted by ev-
cry one WIN looks at the matter through any other
medium than that of pnrty. We nre glad there
fore to see doctrines in regard to this subject so
orthodox aud republican, thus forcby advocated
by the Governor of Vrrmont-ihe first wooi
growing and agricultural state in the UnIon-and
occupying prominenta place in his message.
