Distinguished Members of Congress who have

should be taken to have the large sheet framed,
and hung up in every Medical School, Poor
House, Prison, Hospital Courtroom, and Tenn
! peIance House in the country.
! Every father of family should exhibit these
plates to his children, that they may see what
| moderate drinking leads to.
| Should every minister of Christ and every
protesting Christian, examine these plates, it
might assist them in deciding whether the liquor
which makes such stomachs as they exhibit, is a
proper substance to commemorate the dying love
of the Redeemer of the world. Should there be
one or more individuals in any church who feel
the importance offree discussion on this question,
or who feel that intoxicating liquor, not a
proper substance for the sacrament, would it not
be wise measure for them to furnish every
member of their respective churches with a copy
of this work, with or without the plates?
All Temperance Lecturers should exhibit these
plates while addressing public bodies and have
copies for sale distribution, that the eye as
we'll as the ear might be instructed. At Doctor
Sewall's first lecture in Washington, only few
! attended; at the second over 5000 persons; and
g-shop keepers " no were present, were heard
10 say, 70" II our business makes such stomaehs,
we will abandon it.
Should steps be taken to furnish copy of the
large sheet framed, to be hung up in some con-
spicuous place in all our Colleges, Academies,
and schools of all sorts, might it not be cheap
and simple means of delivering thousands, and
teEs of thousands of the rising generation from
taking the first glass as without this first glass,
there would be no Moderate Drinkers, or Drunk
ards Stomachs to exhibit. 49,. -

The. annual Report of the Institution
noticed below was received dul Y at the
fTelep raph Office, but has fallen out OF
sight. Being unwilling 10 let this valua-
BILE and humane Institution go unnoticed,
or to wait longer for the recovery Of the
Report, [ copy the following;
From the Herald of Freedom.
Vermont Asylum for the Insane.
The fifth annual report of this Institution
has been received. LIS perusal affords the
most gratifying evidence of the utility and
5enevoeuce oflhese Establishments these
retreats for that nlosl pniable portion of hu-
marty the Insane Il shows tina, kind
treatment, such as christianity dictates, is
much more eficacious in restoring the oe-
reaved patient 10 reason and to usefulness
than the application of physical force
The mode Of treatment which is practis-
ed at this Asylum (says the Report land
which has been attended with such signal
success, has ever commanded our entire
appreciation. The discipline of former
times, which consisted in the exhibition oil
physical force. and awing the patients into
submission, the object oil which was the
security of the patient and the public. has

In It's moral management, it is made the
duty OF every officer and assistant TO en-
GeaVor to- secure the confidence aAd good

ferbearance. They are made to under.
stand, as far as they are capable, that what
ever restraints are necessary, are not ap-
piled for the purpose of punishment, but
for their own benefit: 'rhey are promoted
in their classification as soon as they have
the power of self-controi, which operates
as powerful inducement 10 make poper
efforts 10 retain their places. They are
perer subject to any personal restraint uu-
less 10 prevent violence, or the destruction
of property"
Since the opening of the Asylum 323
patients have been admitted; ofthese 228
have been discharged leaving 95 in the
