"DErIcIENcIEs IN OUR HIsToRY." The
Rev. JAMES d. BUTLER, Professor in Norwich
University, delivered an address upon this
subject before the Vermont Historical Society,"
at it's annual meeting at Montpelier, on the
10Th of October. A copy of the address print
ed by Eastman and Danforth, has been sent to
US, and we have read it with much Interest,"
The remarks of the author upon the deficen-
cies in the arrangement ofauthentic Historical
information in regard to our own State are
Just, and will trust, lead to some proper and
economical efforts to correct the evil. Who
ever may obtain n copy the address will find
il highly interesting and instructive. The APP
pendix contains the "Declarntion of the lnde-
pendence of Vernon" -copies of which are
rarely found-whch we shall publish at some
time.

fain hope that the sentiments of Washington
and Jefferson upon this delicate subject NAV
yet find response in the Southern StatesE
and encouraged by the patriotism and pr.
dence which have been displayed by NOT
few ofNorthern Statesmen upon the TeSaa
question, we would rejoice in the expectation
that even now the South, will throw some
aid TO stop this wild and wicked career of
conquest-to restore peace-to maintain the
integrity the Union-and 10 avert the iusl
Judgment of Heaven from our guilty land.

THE WHIG CANDIDATE FOR PREsIDEKr-
The Locos are basyiag themselves about the
Wing candidate for the Presidency. The
Louisville Journal thus admonishes the IN
to be sient:"The Loco Focos need not trouble
themselves about our candidate. We are very
certain Clay will not be candidate unless the
country shall call on him by reclamation But
we can assure the Locos, that, when the prop.
er time shall arrive. the Wing candidate will
be ready-and rough too, perhaps.
SIGNS. The Harriburg (Penn.) Argus, a To-
CO paper says:--
"Ifthe support ofthe tariff of '46 is to be
still the rallying cry. it will be worse than idle
to engage in the contest, and we should save
much trouble and expense by permitting the
wings to walk unmo2ested over the course.
Neither rain nor sunshine could save us from
another defeat"

My DEAR Sir: While every body appears

we are here obliged TO fight battles, and blood

ing the business and our getting out ofthc

feeling ofhostility against us is very strong,
and il is doubtful ifany Administration can
sustain itselfin any arrangements for gen.
eral peace with us. Their national vanitys
so great that they will never believe them.

city, well fortified and defended 10y ten thou
sand men and forty pieces of artillery, capt.
ulated within five days, 10 six thousand men
with only nineteen pieces of artillery, and
what is more, they fought well too, and ser-
ed their guns admirably, as our list of killed
and wounded will show, which cannot fall
much short of five hundred. 1t is wonderful
