"BREAD AND BUTTER"

alias PRIEsTcRAFT.
Come now my Muse and help me sing
Some truths that must be spoken.
or priestcraft, that accursed thing,
Whose power must sure be broken.
Lot oil the world attention pay,
And hear the words utter,
How pious priests the coward play
To save their bread and butter.
oh! what a craven set are they
Who rs sell their wind " by measure;
Who make the truth lie, for pay,
And in the trade take pleasure.
"Turning and twisting" is their trade,
And mercy! how they nutter,
When any mortal dare invade
Their rights in bread and butter.
The poor, oppressed and groaning slaves
Beneath their yokes may struggle,
Because these lordly, priestly knaves
Are busy at their jaggle.
They leave the drunkGd all alone,
To perish in the gutter
A higher interest they own
Ills saving bread and butter.
They whine and grosn with priestly tact,
And lengthen out their faces,
When any one dare " cross their track"
"kick within their traces!"
Just contradict hireling priest
And what groan he'll utter,
He'll not allow it in the least;
You touch his bread and better.
Humanity within their heart
Has long lain dead and buried;
They can hut act the towards part
They act it well, ancorried.
Should juries sit upon their souls,
This verdict they would utter:
"They died poor sacerdotal fools
Of love for bread and butter"
Then Let the truth be plainly told,
How muchsoe'er they fear it.
Say, "to work evil they ore sold,"
Let all the people hear it.
This scorchiDg truth about them tell
No matter how they hutter:
"Ihey'd send as erery soul TO he'll
: To save their bread and butter."
Ye lordly priests, once more be MEN
Go now Hnleoch your teaching;
And ne'er preach JoolishHess again
For "foolishness Of preaching"
Go make uf'ring world rejoice
At the great truths you utter;
Nor let again OF truth the voice
BE hushed, by bread and butter.

The Convention

For the amendment Of tie Constitution
OF ;ihs State assembled at Montpelier on
the 4th inst. By reference 10 the report
OF the proceedings in our paper it will be
seen that the Democrats have a majority
of from twenty 10 Thirty in the Convention,
and OF Course have awaited themselves Off
to elect the officers from their own ranks.
This result was we suppose purely acci.
dental, very little interest having been feh
In the election Ct the Delegates. The
Democrats probably enjoy being in the as
cendancy not lulle; II Is certainly so long
since they were SO befofe in any of our
representative bodies, that the situation
must have the charm of novelty, bu,
whether novelty always mas its charms
perhaps the wings among them will be in
cllned to doubt. From the tone of public
opinion as we gather it from The papers
throughout the State, we are Inclined to
believe the Convention will adjourn with.
out the adoption of any of the measures
recommended by the Council of Censors.
Gould we get rid oil the Council of Cen
sors themselves and adopt the same liber-
al mode Tor amending the Constitution
which generally prevails with reference
OF all proposed changes ultimately 10 the
people themselves, we think the alteration
would be valuable Que, but The Corven-
ton are Cot at liberty to make such a
sweeping change, they having no power
TO act upon any matter not referred 10 them,
and approved by The wisdom ola majority
OF the thirteen wise heads cf which the
Council OF Censors was comppsed.- Yer.
