fact, that Col JOHNSON is the most popular Demo

higher, deeper, and a more enthusiastic flame of
devotion to our country and her Institutions than all
the other distinguished Democratic candidates for the
first office in the nation This devotion for the man,

received.
WAsHlNGroN, Sept /, l843.
DEAR Sin: | have received your communication
TO me a copy Of the resolutions passed re-
Gently at regular meeting OF the Democracy OF
Sprin. field. | am highly gratlhed with the spirit
which peryades these resolutions spirit OF harmo-
nv hberallty and Cancellation, and above all a spirit
OF Justice without which human actions are OF little
value. | am happy, too, TO perceive IN those resou-
tons that the democracy of Springfield ready TO
carry into effect the long cherished principles OF the
party of sustaining measures rather than men-that
they are readyo support the democratic measures OF
the present national chief magistrate and not TO
be moved by actious spirit to oppose one who sup
ports their own prnciPles--ihat they are not like
some whose democracy is of quite recent date,
disposed 10 exclude President Tyler, who was bred
up at the foot Of Monticello in the principles OF JEFF
ersonian democracy, from the democratic fold.
| am profoundly grateful for the resolutions rela-
tive to myself The support OF the democracy OF my
own State, of men with whom have been so long
associated, who have always found and who always
will find me supporting democratic princpies-is
gratifying and cheering amidst the assaults upon me
rom some, who were but yesterday in the opposite
political ranks and who have become nsoient as
they have grown rich upon democratic bounty.
beg you to communicate these sentiments to my
democratic fellowctzens Of Springfield, and accept
the assurance Of my respectful consideration

the attention paid TO me in these proceedings, | am
much indebted TO the democratic citizens Of your
beautiful town. 1t will always be my endeavor, il
public, well in private life, to deserve the con-
ldence Of the people, in whose considerable judgment
have the most unlimited confidence for knoo they
neU'T deliberately err.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We lay before our readers to day the Message o.
Governor NATIONS. II is brief, clear and to the
point We heartily approve his views and recon-
mendations in regard to Slavery. We hope the
Legislature will pass law prohibiting State Officers
from aiding in the restoration of fugitive slaves to
their masters. We are glad the attention Of the
Legislature Is called 10 the subject of Education
Let the State do its duty in reference to Common
Schools the instruction Of the great body Of the
people but let Colleges, for the present at least,
be maintained by individual exertons. We were
rather disappointed in not seeing in the Message
recommendation Of Geological survey Of the
State We hope the Legislature will not pass this
subject by without action The recommendation to
revise repeal the law passed last year in regard
to Capital Punishment seems to be called for on
account of the vagueness Of the law. We could
have wished to have something in the Mes
sage in regard to internal improvements in the
State, which 10 us seems highly important in our
present condition On the whole, the Message, we
think, must be satisfactory, as far as it goes.

EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,
Iontpelier, 18th Oct. A. ID. 1913.

SINGULAR SuIoIDE--Peter Sible, a native of
Germany, after a residence of about three years in
this vicinity, without known cause, committed
suicide on Tuesday last, by hanging himself, in the
following most singular manner;
On the morning of that day he left his father S
house in company with another brother, from
whom however he shortly parted they had intend
ed working for different individuals for the day
MIR. Sible did not return as was expected when eve
ming came. On Friday, search made in a
wood through which Sible had TO pass, and which
resulted in finding him suspended by small cord
from tree that projected precipice some
twenty-five feet deep raising him in all some forty
feet over brook that winding its way beneath.
So difficult was the ascent that Of forty per-
sons present, when the coroner arrived, not one
could be prevailed upon to ascend the tree 10 loose
the unfortunate victim. The tree was then ieed,
which probably was the only safe way of recover
ing the body.
