has gone before, then the next, and the
next 1t has long ago commenced in my
family.
But to come to what has taken place
in about four years. And first a grand
son, Amos Cook, IS years old fell dead
instantly, while at work, Jan. 10Th, 1841,
noticed in July. Second his father,
Ebenezer Cook, died very suddenly
Oct. 2, 1912 He was a member of the
Baptist church, very much respected
His death was great loss to his family,
the church, and community at large.
Sd, My companion died Sept. %, l942,
aged &C. She was a member of the Bupv
fist church. Her obituary was publish
ed in the VT. Bap. Journal.

Who will go next, is only known to
Him whose ways are in the great deep,
and who will do all his pleasure, and
none can stay his hand. Surely he has
done enough already to show US the IN,

DIsTRICT OF CoLUMBIA.-A late
number of the Alexandria ID. C.Gazelte
contains an able article on the subject OF
slavery, advocating emancipation on the
ground of the pecunlary disadvantages of
the system, aud containing some striking
confessions Of its deterioraling effects upon
Virginia.
V1Re1N1A.-A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Herald, residing in Loudon
county, writes as follows

perhaps, for Mr.. Cotton to let this whole subject

AMERICAN CONsULs.

~ Comparatively few changes have, as yet, been
made by the present administration in the American
consulates. This has doubtless been owing to a
want Of the necessary time, and to the great multi
plcity of other business which has devolved upon
the President and his cabinet. In due season, we
have no doubt the entire subject will be taken up,
and disposed Of with that care and attention which
are commensurate with its acknowledged import
ance In most instances, we learn, the present in
cumbenis are anxious to be continued, while other
gentlemen, equally competent and meritorous, are
willing to step into their places This, it will be seen,
devolves upon the President and the enlightened
Secretary of State delicate responsibility, which
should not be hastily discharged. The manner in
which the ms have performed the high duties they
owed to their country, and the reasons advanced by
the outs to supersede them, must necessarily be no
easy task, and doubtless requires considerable time
and labor TO investigate.
There is one principle, however, connected with
our consuates, to which, we think, all good men
will cordially assent viz that, where this is possi-
BILE, they should be filed by good and true .america''
citi=ems-by men whose loyalty to our republican
institutions has been weighed in the balance and
not found wanting.'' The administrations of Gen.
Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren, acted throughout upon
this saulary policy; and its proprety is too obvious
to require argument. If it was deemed sound pol
icy then to make americanism essential qualifca-
ton, is enforced by infinitely weightier consdea-
tons now, when there is crisis at our doors which
seems calculated to try the reins of mems patriot
ism-whch is destined soon to prove to the world
whether mems sympathies are on this side of the
Atlantic or the other--whether, in word, they are
for or against their country.
Not Few Of the foreign consulates, it is true,
of such little value to the incumbent, that it is often
impossible to find Americans who are willing to sac
rifce their interests at home for their acceptance.
In such cases, necessity, not choice, is the govern
ing rule Of action. But we have to fear that
during the past administration, from fault, we
are sure, of Mr.. Tyler,) men have crept into these
stations whose sympathies naturally cluster around
foreign rulers and foreign institutions. If there be
such in Office now, and their places can be filed by
honest and true-hearted Americans, either native
born or naturalized, we have no hesitation in recon-
mending prompt changes. The country, we have
every reason to believe may congratulate itself up
on the assurance that an administration now wields
the helm which will prove itself, in all its actions,
thoroughly American-one that will root out every
vcstige of monarchy, in whatsoever guise or shape
it may be discovered.
