The Right Spirit.

The educational meeting in this town, on
the 9TH inst was very well attended by teach
ers, and among them was company of ten
female teachers from Dunvlle, who chartered
a team, procured driver and came over alto
gether,S' in good style. Such zeal in seeking to
prepare themselves for the discharge of the
duties Of their profession is worthy of all com
mendation; and We venture the prediction that
whatever district employs any ofthese teach
crs, will find them to be of the right sort
capable and efficient The inquiry was whis-
pered round if Danvile people did not employ
gentlemen teachers in their winter schools, and
it was decided, inferentially, of course, far
any decision was made, that they did not,
probably.

No, man, not at ALL Is it then, said the Scotchman'

Mr.. EDIToR.-In looking over the proceedings of
the Legislature discovered nothing of interest," until
my attention arrested by the resolutions ntrodu-
ced into the Senate "to offer up thanks to Almighty
God for the late victory obtained at Monterey by the
American army"
This brought to my mind an anecdote told of George
III, King of Great Britain, which is as follows
At the close of the American Revolution George
III King of Great Britain issued proclamation ap.
pointing day of thanksgiving for the return of peace
A shrewd country clergyman in Scotland, upon read
ing the proclamation, Immediately proceeded to Eng
land and having arrived at the royal palace, solicited
personal audience with the King. Being admitted
with some difficulty to the royal presence after ma
king his humble obeisance to the sovereign, he said
May it please your majesty, have received your proc
lamation and wish to comply with its acquisitions; bu
have come all the way from Scotland to ascertain

LIBERTY DEPOSITORY,

1t cannot be denied that the Liberty cause in Yer
mont has greatly suffered from the very limited circu-
laton of the standard works which have been publish
ed both upon the political and moral and religious
bearings of the slavery question, and with which other
states have been so literally and proftaby supplied
Owing to the meagre demand, and the small profit upon
such works, no general supply has been kept in the
state for several years last past but at the earnest So
lctation of friends in different sections Of the State
we have consented to procure supply, previous to the
opening Of the winters campaign, of such publications
seem best adapted to promote the interests of oul
cause. In addition to what now have on hand, viz
Slavery 1t Is the Liberty Bell, Emancipation in the
W. Indies, &C., we shall procure quantity of Jays
View, Goode'5 and Spooners Constitutional Argument
Liberty Minstrel, Birneys new work on the Sinfulnes
of Slavery, the Life of Torrey, when published, thu
American Liberty Almanac for 1847, and such othe
works and tracts shall appear hereafter, which seen
adapted to the necessities of the cause. But in do
ing we shall need and expect to receive, the heart
cooperation and generous patronage of all our friend
in all parts of the State. In this way alone can tn
end in view be secured, and ourselves sustained foI
loss

Resolved That in the final consummation of the an
nexation of Texas we have the most clear and ndis
putabe evidence that Slavery has assumed the entire
control of the general government-that she has be
come the ruling spirit of the natlon-trampllng alike
upon the interests of the north and the rights of hu
Imany-and that we see no way to stay its progress
but to declare and maintain the most determined anC
unyiedng hostility toit wherever its influence is fell
whether in church or state in political parties or mora
associations.
Resolved That in the fidelity with which norther
members in Congressman particularly the Represer
tatve from this dlsrict-have obeyed the mandates
the slave holding faction of their party in supporting
the scheme of annexation, we have the sures evdenc
that no man be trusted to carry out principles
who has not dissolved all connection with every part
which has not dissolved all political connection wit
slavery and slave holders.

ed.

1t is amusing to read the party papers Of this city
now days. Both the whig and democratic papers
are loud in calling for reform in the city govern
ment; and it would seem as if the editors were
bursting with patriotism. while they vie with each
other IN claiming to be the first to denounce the
old municipal government. This is a piece OF
their old tactics, and is destined to effect nothing
Before the Neic York Herald took up the subject,
and acted as the friend of the people, those lazy
journals never uttered syllable on the subject but
now, when the people have taken the matter INTO
their own hands, and are determined 10 push it
through, those worthless come out and pirate about
reform, with unblushlne effrontery. There will be
another meeting OF the democrats, for reform, a
