TRICKS OF THE nNEMYi

II is stated as rumor in the Richmond wing
Of the 10th instant, that son or sons OF the
President were holding language to the effect
that Mr.. Webster was merely Iocun tene's In
the Department Of State, to be disposed oil py
the President hereafter.
We cannot deny the existence OF rumor-
but the fact alleged by the rumor above mention
ed we are authorized to contradict peremptoriiy
The gossip in the anti-adminisuation news
papers in relation 10 Mr. Webster, Mr.. Spencer,
Mr.. Rives, Mr.. Gushing, Mr. Wise, Mr.. CHI
mer, and other friends of the President is fabrl-
Gated purely for the hopeful purpose OF exciting
distrust in the minds of the President and his
friends, in the expectation thereby of weaken
ing the energies of the Administration, and Of
distracting its councils. This object, however
is SO palpable that the conspirators will be foed,
and nobody will be affected or deceived but
themselves and their dupes.
To get Mr.. Webster to desert his post seems
now to be concerted plan among some OF the
Opposition Wigs, and some of the Opposition
Loco-focos. No art, nor method, nor power Of
theirs, however, will succeed. They therefore
may as well save the ammunition they are fruit
lessly wasting on this point.

THE GOVERNOR OF VERMONT--THI
VETO POWER--THE INTELLIGENCER.

=
The Intelligencer of the 18th instant devotes
about half column in quotation and comment
aryupon the oNE-MAN-PowER, which, if we may
judge from the recent elections, is in pretty
fair way 70 bring an overwhelming majority Of
the nation to its support Theparty opposed 70
the Administration may well deprecate the We
to power, for it has foied all party purposes,
while it has increased the support of the admin
istration and the popularity of the President
Governor PAINE, of Vermont" says the In
telligencer, Gin his late message to the Legisla-
ture of that State, calls its attention 10 the Veto
poaoer, as feature in the Federal Constitution
which imperiously requires alteration" And
who '.imperiously requires this. alteration pr
Why, the present minority party opposed to the
administration! Do they forget that it is only
for the benefit of the minority" that the Veto
can ever be exercized2 The Governor says ''it
is the only monarchical feature in our form of
gov eminent, and it is difficult to understand how
it should ever have been engrafted upon repub-
lican institutions;" adding that ''it was proba-
bly, taken, without much reflection, from the
British Constitution, which vests similar pow
er in the King, but only to protect his own pre-
rogative from encroachment )" and superadding,
that even for this purpose, it has not been exer-
cised by him for two centuries"
The Veto of the British Constitution is an
absolute Veto. But the American Constitution
contains no Veto, but only clause imperatively
requiring the President to "obect" to such laws
as he cannot ''approve," whether on account of
their inexpediency or unconstitutionality. And
he is sworn to make his COLLECTIONS" where he
cannot award his approval. And yet his objec-
tons cannot prevent the consummation of a law,
if "two thirds'' of quorum" of each House,
upon reconsideration, shall pass the bill. A
s'quorum of each House" is bare Majority
one more than half of the whole number; and
two-thirds Of one-half is but one-third of the
whole
Thus this oNE-MAN power can be effectually
foiled by one single vote more than one-third of
the votes of each House of Congress. We
humbly apprehend, that this power is not ''mo-
narchical )" and that it was never Borrowed
from the British Constitution; )" if it were, it is
SO much more republican than monarchical that
we do not wonder the British monarch "has not
exercised it for more than two centuriesp' For
more than half century it has been exercised
in this country, and the popular will has invari-
ably sanctioned the act, and upheld and sus-
tanned its authors.

VERMONT TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON. WEDNESDAY. OCT. s, ls4l.
THE coNVENTIoN.


Whose proceedings are published in
the Telegraph today, may be reckoned
among the most important movements
that have been made for the advancement
of the great and glorious cause of human
freedom now in progress in this country.
Without undertaking others, it appears
to me that this is the greatest step that has |
been taken since 1888. The desiderGtum
has been, to drive the monster of wicked
ness from the Church. Hitherto, the
church has been "satans seat" for carry
ing on the work of slavery, which is one
of his chief works on earth. The Bap-
fist denomination at the South, and TO a
great extent at the North, has been as
deeply involved, perhaps, in this sin, as
any other sect. The Baptists of Vermont
have all along been marked exception,
prominently nthe advance of all other Bap-
lists. This is not spoken 5oastingly. They
have only done their duty. They have
now taken the field. and have achieved
victory that will carry terror throughout
all the camp of the enemy. They have
gone through, taken to themselves the
whole armor, cleared the ground, and
raised a standard around which the Lords
hosts will rally and push forward the
battle, until this "enemy of all righteous
ness" against which We figh., under Him,
shall be driven from the church and the
world.
1t will be seen iha, the vote on the final
question was an overwhelming one-46
against IL. Had the Convention been
larger, the proportion of votes in the af.
6rmotive would have been larger. This
opinion is founded on knowledge Of the
Baptists in general in Vermont, as well
as on the fact, now known to be such
that the opponents to our measures made
agreat EFFORT to rally their greatest strength
and bring il into the field against US
They in fact not only mustered almost
their entire strength at home. but they
also brought to their aid two members o.
the Baptist Board of Foreign Mission;
from Boston. They were vastly out o.
proportion in their representation in the
Convention. That is. the representation
Of our opponents in the Convention bore
much greater proportion to their whole
numbers, than the representation on oul
side did to our whole numbers. No one
at all acquainted with the facts, will haz
ard an opinion 10 the contrary of this.
The Convention was at first organized
by making those to be voters who hat
signed the Call and those who approve,
Of such q call-at the same time inviting
all others to participate freely in discuss
ion. This was no, satisfactory to our or
ponents. They claimed seats with us a
voters. Most of them labored to fore
such an Interpretation on the Call as
make il include them. This matter wa
discussed until after noon of the first da
when a majority Of the Conventio
voted to throw the doors wide open. Th
Convention was now to consist Of ga
members Of Baptist Churches in Verm I
who were aboIilionis,s." Upon this pa
form every male Bapis in Vernon

All who are involved in the sin. And In
stead Of complaining OF the denunciatlon
Of divine displeasure. the very first work
Of reformation should consist in humilia-
lion and public confession of the specific
sins of which we are guilty. Until has
is done, the very first step in truly
Christian reformation is not taken. In
how many places, and by how many per-
sons, has this first step ever been taken
at all
And what is the position OF those large
numbers of ministers and churches who
openly urge it as their grave excuse for
not enlisting in the work of public retorma-
alton. that certain individuals have been
90 proscriptive and denunciatory'' as to
call upon them to repent of their sins 2
What conceptions do such men entertain
af a genuine Christian reform? Why,
they 90 so far as to make it an evidence
of an unchris,ian spirit" 10 call upon
them to repent Of their sins! When they
ought to know that any reformer who
should propose 10 them reformation on
any other or cheaper terms, would give
evidence that he was one of those who
"daub with un:empered mortar and
sought reformation on inidel principles
without any repentance for sin, without
any recognition of the authority and the
law OF Godi
No marvel that large numbers of those
who have enlisted in the work Of public
reformation have withered away as soor
as the scorching sun beat upon them, hav
ing no root in themselves. The seed hat
never been received into soil moistene:
with the tears Of godIy repentance. Hav
ing never humbled themselves on accoun
of their sins, they readily embraced then
again on the first temptation that offered
and they cry out bitterly of prescription
whenever their unfaithfulncss is honesll,
rep-oved.
To be continued.
