Rev, Sebastian Streeter-A writer in the Bos-
ton Daily Null, in describing this gentleman says:
We attended Mr. Streeters church on Sunday
last in the forenoon. We never had seen the old
gentleman before. The first view of him does not
by any means, convey just idea of the man. In
looks very much like village apothecary, ant
seems to be meditatng upon The subject of calome
or The tincture of NORWOOD. But the moment hi
raises his bright, benevolent countenance, and fxe
his kind, encouraging eye upon you, this notion
the village apothecary vanishes at once, and the
good old pastor stands confessed before you, in {

PETITION TO DISsOLvETHE UNION.

We give below the vote in the House Of Repre-
sentatives on Monday the 18th inst. which decided
that the petition offered by irJ7JOHN GUM
CY ADA.HS,aGl for the the dissolution Of the
Union should NOT be received,
Ofthe Vermont delegation it will be seen that
Everett and Sade, (the spittoon,) voted in the af-
frmatve, Ma,tocks and Young in the negative
Hall absent. That Everett and SIade would be
glad to see the Union dissolved we have not the
slightest doubt, Everett has always been one the
Unreasonable band Of conspirators' who have
strven to discredit the Union from the beginning,
Alas, that Vermont should be represented in Con-
gress by men who will submit to be publicly spit
upon, and lederalists of the bluest dye.

This Webb, in his rage, when it was feared that
the Bankrupt Law would be repealed, charged
certain advocates of the repeal in congress with
having received brides TO the amount Of $780,

reason for no, wishing the Bill repealed.

Of banking capital, wholly incomer,ab'o and ire

much for the blessing of the banking privileges.

of the State Treasurer has been paid to the loan
