vicinity. A Mrs. Lupold had been some1

were missing. The neighborhood soon
turned out TO scour the mountains IN search
OF them, but i'll vain until Monday last, when
some men providentially happened to come
upon them in one OF the widest regions of
that wild country, where no one would have

VERMONT NEWSPAPERS.

Let no farmer-and no other man-re-
linquish the newspaper published in his
own neighborhood, for the sake of taking
some other larger, cheaper, or more PoPU-
LAR paper, published abroad. We say
cbeerfuliy, to those who may act as agents
for the Visitor, that we wish for no sub
scriptions to it at the expense ofthe papers
in his own county. The newspapers pub
lished in ones own vicinity is always, as
general rule, more valuable than any
other-if it be for nothing but the adver-
tisements: aye, the somewhat abused and
much neglected advertisements, ARE a Their
mometer of the business of place. and of
ten the key which opens the door to excel
lent bargains. 1t is of no little conse-
quence for the farmer to know what is
going on in his market-town-the compe-
tition in selling goods and the competition
in buying produce-the changes in busi-
ness operations-the settlement of estates
the sale Of farms, stock, &c. &c. We
venture to say, there is no man who may
not every year much, more than save the
price of subscription to his neighboring
newspaper, from its advertising columns
alone; and on this ground exhort all to
patronize their own newspapers. This
should be done also for weightier reasons,
one of which we will name the mammoth
weekly sheets Of the cities being furnished
at a price with which no country printer
can compete, flor one reason, because
made up generally from the matter once
used and paid for in the daily papers, are
encroacking largely upon the country
thus discouraging improve
ment and enterprise, and gradually bring
ing the whole country under the influence,
and in some sense the CONTROL, of the
leading cliques and in the cities. Thus
a toneis given to the morals, the politics,
and the habits the country-and we hes
itate not to say, that the preponderance of
this influence is bad. The people of the
country get full enough of this influence
through their own. papers: and if they
would not see the complete supremacy of
the cities over the moral and political des-
tiny of the country, let them support the
country newspapers. Take the city papers
if you can afford it, and as many Of them
as you please: but FIhsT see to il that you
have your own home paper as regular
visitor to your Preside. Support them
first and literally, and they will hardly
fail to support your interests.

A SINGULAR TALE.

The celebrated Able Raynal tells the fol-
lowing singular tale describing an event W. ich
happened TO friend while travelling through
Spain. IL have often" says the Able Ray
nal, ''seen priests go TO prison but never to
execution
''Being upon long journey, and much IA
ugued he arrived at a Posdda (lnn) rather ear
ly, and alter ordering his olio to be prepared
for supper, he went to vespers in convent
hard by and intended also TO confess. But
having placed himself in the confessional box,
he fell asleep-and did not awake till towards
midnight, when he was alarmed By seeing
two friars leading a female up the church.
with handkerchief tied over hereyes. Such
a spectacle alarmed him too mnch on his own
account, as well as on the woman's, TO make
his appearance; but The confessional boxes
are so pierced, that 1t is easy TO see all that
passes in the church without being seen and
he saw 10 his utmost establishment, a stone
raised from the pavement, and the woman so
lead over II as to disappear instantly, without
having even time TO implOre mercy or perhaps
without having any knowledge that she was
leading TO certain death. The Msnks then
re-laid the stone and disappeared, and the af-
frighted traveller was obliged TO remain till
the church doors were opened for morning
prayers, when he got away without any one
knowing where he had lodged. On his re-
turn to his Iun he was beset by his host and
hostess, with serious charge of having Sc
duced away their daughter. He pleaded in
nocence, and assured them that he had never
spoken TO her or even seen her, but that il
they would be quiet and prudent he had rea-
son 10 believe he could give them a sad &C.
count Of her fate, and desired that they woult

bled accordingly, when the traveller related
what he had seen, in the presence of the who'll

THINGS IN WASHINGTON AND
TROUBLE THERE

We stated some days ago, and have 10 re-
state, that Mr. Polk has determined TO make
the most o. his appointments, hereafter, 1rith-
out consulting his Cabinet. He is reported
TO have come TO this determination on account
ofthe difficulties which some of his appoint
ments have already made in his ranks, and
TO be impressed with the belief that his
Cabinet have led him into these difficulties,
particularly in New York.
Mr.. Polk labors under the same difficulty
Mr.. Tyler did. He desires a reelection. and
nobody desires 10 have him reelected. He
wishes TO make personal appointments Of
such men rs will do his service and his Cab
met il they can help it, will rot let him.
Hence, he begins, as Mr.. Tyler did, in separ-
ating himself from Cabinet COZ suliaiions.
He is informed, as we understand, that s-the
Young Democracy" as it is called, will give
him their support, if he will cut from "rhe
old Democracy; and nibbling nj this bait,
rs MIR Tyler did, he PROPOSES TO make all APP
pOintments Oh his own hook. This extraor-
binary conduct will end az Tylerism did in
making him ridiculous, and stripping him Of
the confidence of all parties.
In tins line of policy, Mr.. Polk has begun
TO make removals in all parts of the country
l1ithOm announcing them in Udshingtou.
The Washington correspondent of the Jour.
OF Com. writes:-
"The removals and appointments in the
Custom Houses, Land Offices Marshalships,
District Attorneyships, Post Offices, &C., are
going on slowly and surely. As there is no
annunciation made Offhem, we do not hearo
them until the order has taken effect. The
reports thus come in scattering; but,as said
before. the work will be done thoroughly,
thoughnot rapidly enough for the mpatience
Of expcctants."
The same writer, after urging in the same
impartial Journal. greater rapidity in re-
movals. says
"The senseIess and hypocritical cry of FRO
scription, from some few OF the opposition "a
pers, is, as have had occasion 10 remark,
met with utter derision by the public Of both
parties.

THE THIRD PARTY.

1t is an impressive fact, that the Liberty
parry strength has been every where greately
impaired since il threw the government into
the hands of the "cxtension " shareholders
of the south, and their northern dou5hfaced
allies. Generally. the vote has been from
quarter to one half less than last fall, at the
town elections in this State. In a number
ofinstances the the leaders have attempted
open combinations with the Loco Focos,
whilst the rank and file have inclined 10 the
support Of the Wing tickets. Such, we
have no doubt is to he The ultimate fate of
the ingredients Of which the Liberty party.
is composed. The leaders will sell them
selves to the Locos, and the mass will seek
furtherance of their principles under the BAN
ner of true Liberty Party, the Wings.
At Lockport, where the Wing candidate
for Supervisor received nearly sir hundred
majority in vote of 10l5, the average Abo-
lition vote is 100. Last spring 200. This is
a fair specimen of the general taking off.
In Albany, where an organ of the party is
published, charged to the brim with hostility
TO the Wings, the Abolition candidate for
Mayor has II votes When we reflect that
more than SIX THOUSAND FOUR HUN
DRIED votes were polled, the conclusion fol-
lows at once that the leaders of the party
have no hold upon the sympathies or conf
dence of the People.
This inference is fortified by the fact that
in poll of FIFTY THOUSAND votes in
the city of New York, only seuenty-tico were
cast for the Abolition candidate!
In the public estimation, the sin and the
crime of Annexation is undoubtedly attached
to the Abolitionists. They had the power
to prevent il. and had they been governed by
conscientious and patriotic motives, would
have thrown themselves into the breach TO
have saved the country. OF course the attach
ment of the mass of theirown men, to cause
tending to such adverse results, was rudely
shaken, whilst beyond, in the ranks from
which they hoped to recruit, the universal
sentinel OF disgust, engendered by their facti-
cIous and inconsistent policy, has extInguish-
ed every hope of gaining new converts from
the defeated party in the Presidential contest.
But the Wings, as party, are to act with
caution and prudence, with reference TO the
existing state Of things. The popular sym-
pathy is on their side, aud it behooves their
wise men and chief councillors not 20 neg
lect the means of Strengthening their position
and securing the advantages held out TO their
relief. They must discriminate between the
acts and designs ofthe false Liberty" leaders
and the true principles which should guide
an govern Liberty" men. They should
embrace all that is right and practical and
fellowship with all who seek the Worship Of
ruth The issue of such course of policy
can not be long doubtful.
