penalty of the law will be enforced against all
delinquents. As many nuisances may escape the
observation of the members of the Board of HEALTH
the citizens generally are requested to commune
cate, in writing, all neglected nuisances which
may be presented to their notice, designating the
places, owners, or occupiers of the property where
such neglected nusances may be discoursed, and
also to suggest the best mode Of removing or cor

Board belonging to the Ward where such nui-
sances may exist.

TREATY FOR THE ANNEXATION
OF TEXAS.

1t is announced in the Madisonian of Fri
day last, that the Treaty of Annexation
between the United States and Texas was
this day signed, and that it will be submitted
to the Senate for ratification as soon as the
accompanying Documents can be prepared"
We have a full confidence that this treaty
will not be ratified by the Senate, or even re-
cevc the approval of majority of the mem
bers. There is no reason to believe that
more than two or three, if any of the Wing
members of the Senate are in favor of the
Treaty. 1t is however incumbent on tina,
portion of the public who condemn this pro-
ceeding, to express an unequivocal opinion
upon it. 1t is one of those great questions in
which it IS not possible for a single branch or
even both branches of Congress to stem the
current of opinion excited by interested par
ties, where there are such numbers deeply in
terested, if they are suffered to exert their
influence without opposition. The measure
appears at present TO be distinctly the crea-
ture of the Tyler administration, but il is a
project of that nature which mnst of course
meet with many supporters, and be urged on
BY vast number of interested parties whose
interest is unknown, and whose motives Of
personal interest are consequently unsuspec-
ted. There are those to whom any project
which looks like national ACKNOWLEDGMENT, b,
the addition to the Union of population OF
territory, is received with favor, whatever be
the conditions on which the acquisition i.
made. To those however who reflect, and

VAN BURENISM TICKING OUT.

The victories which fall to he lot Of Tho
Locoiocos nowadays, are of such brief
duration and doubtful character, as to furnish
them with little occasion for triumph, and
less for hope. A few weeks since, their
organs made the welkin ring, with the result
of special election in New Orleans, where
by means Of the grossest frauds ever prac-
tced in the country, the Locofoco candidate
for Senator was chosen by 422 majority
On the lst instant charter election was
held in the sane city, and though Locofoco-
ism had the benefit of hundreds Of Illegal
votes and fraudulent certificates, its previous
majority Of 422 was cut down 10 iH3.-
Another trial. and the Wings of Ne. Orleans
will free their crescent city from the faint Of
Locofocoism.
In CHICAGO, too, where only month
since, the Loco Focos were rejoicno over
barren victory, an overwhelming reverse
has already oyertaken them. Ii viii be re-
collected that the Locofoco candidate for
Mayor succeeded by the meagre nsiority Of
Z vo,os Chicago has given sever,l hundred)

part, which treats of the Natural History OF

are able to Judge, uncommonly well executed.
In it, Mr. Thompson has done, at his own ex-

respective cases. have paid thousands of dollars
for having done, and not so well done. The
second part treats of the Civil and Political His
tory of Vermont drawn from the most authentic
sources, and may be relied on with full conf
dence in all that relates to matters of fact. 1t
will be found full of interest to all lovers OF his
tory, as well as to the Vermonters themselves.

We take the liberty of calling the atten-
ton of business men to the advertisement Of
the Champlain, New York and Boston
Line of Boats advertised in our columns to-
dav and we do il under the conviction that
this channel Of communication presents great
advantages, to all Northern Vermont, over
any other with which we are acquainted.
The expense of overland transportation from
Montpelier TO Boston is about $50 per ton /;
while the same ton Of freight will be taken
at the wharf in Burlington and delivered in
Boston for sc So and with but one ,ranship-
ent,-which is no unimportant considera-
ton. One establishment in Washington
County made clean saving, the last year,
of over nine hundred dollars, in favor of this
route, against land conveyance; and as far
north as Derby Line, merchants are gener-
ally dismissIng their Wagons, under the con-
viction that the cleanest profit they can make
is to save about one half the ,isk and ex'
pense of getting their merchandise TO and
from market, by sending this way.
OF the Proprietors, we need not assure
this community but to others 1t may be ap
proprate to remark, that they are all rcspon-
sble, thorough, business men, who will per
form in good faith what they undertake
and promptly and honorably meet any liza
blities that may attach to them. The agent
at New York and Boston are well known +

-, ests of those who may patronize the line, @

We must be pardoncd little patriotic pride
in speaking OF Vermont We feel towards that
State, though it has not been our home for many
year, all the affection OF a son for his mother.
Amid her Green Hills we drew our earliest
breath, and there are all thnse Associations
which become all the dearear as we reeede the
farther from them. To Vermont, we owe our
hardy constitution, our fearless love Of freedom,
and our indomiiablc spirit Of independence and
if, in the restless excitement OF youth, or tho
deeper ambition Of manhood, VIC have ever been
touched by that mfrny, "Loye Of Fame" it
has been that we might leave a memory to our
own native State, which she would not be un.
willing to preserve. But she needs not this.
In the struggle for lndep, ndcnce, she was the,
first to obtain victory: on her soil was fought
the battle that decided the war of the Revolu-
ton 4; and should Liberty be driven from all the
rest Of the Union, she will still make her eyrio
in the cliffs of her Green Mountains, and where
her eagle-broo shall continue her line through
| all time.
