Ephram Markham, us publisher, and Rev.b' brierly'
az editor. In a few months after this, the nama OF
fine naper was changed from ". Baptist Journal to
Vermont Observer. Elder Briefly wasnot as tiger
ocious' as Elder Murray; nevertheless this pflcky
name scratched Orson, somewhat, and he III turn
would let his claws and teeth into his opponent the
whole length The process of devourlng went on
between the Telegraph and Observer, until the edl-
tors were in about as bad O fix as the two SNAKES
which swallowed each other so et1ectuaLy that noth-
inc was to be seen of either For, in October, 1916
the Telegraph breathed Its last, and near that time
Elder Briefly vacated his post for want of little
more of " the root of all evil"
In process of time Rev. Aaron Angler took hold of
the Observer; obtained good subscription list at
Mddlebury; published it there awhile, then looked
to,card burlington, but cent to East P0uItney;-re-
manned there for a season. when he discontinued the
Observer, proposing to supply his old subscribers
with the Christian Reflector, published in Boston,
himself darling off to Ludlow, and running out
through the end Of his little ho1m,-the "Genius; !"
and, as we understand, more recently transferring
his old Observer list to the Reflector subjectng his
former patrons to paying IS cents per year postage
The foregoing we believe contains a pretty cor
rect history of the origin and geneaogies of the pa
pers named, and if Gen. Clarke can trace out any
ties Of consanguinity between the Voice and either
of the others, We would like to have him show such
affinity. But if he can not, we would like to have
him say through his free Press that we have never
claimed any such relationship as editor or publish
er. and that no such tie ever existed.
In the meantime, our friend Clarke vii! please ac-
cept thanks for the high enconium he saw fit to
pass upon the efforts of our humble SELF in sustain
ing the Voice, and bringing it to its present living,
healthful state.

SHoREnAM Wool DEPOT. We learn that some
over 10000 pounds Of wool have been deposited ia
the Depot at Shoreham, and that the coarser quail
ties, numbering from 3 to have been sold at % to
50 cents per ID. The other qualities arc held at IS
to So cents, and pretty fair prospect of sales at
those prices. We also learn good authority, that
the Depot at Undertook has been cleared of its large
stock, at prices ranging nearly quite as high as
those stated above.
What we would now say to wool growers in the
vicinity of Shoreham, who have not yet disposed Of
their wool, is, go and examine tile stock in deposit
at the latter place, before it is taken away see
the different qualities the arrangement in assert
ing, and if you do not this year adopt the Depot sys-
tenn, you may the next year; and, should you not
do it at all, you may get paid for your visit in learn
ing how and where to improve your present breed
Of sheep Remember this is the first year the year
of experiment in this lire Of business, and for this
section and if the wool not all sold as quick as at
Depots which have been longer established and
which are more generally known, this fact should
not initiate against the system. We say again, visit
the places look at it-this will surely Go you no
harm.

last six months (namely, from the LIST of Jan

that it was just such speech as we think, IN
the present state of the public mind, is re-.
quired.
We were highly pleased with it, and be-
lieve most sincerely that seven tenths of the
Wing party Of Vermont, would respond most
heartily oevery sentiment and every sentence
he uttered. Free from the party slang so
common in many of the addresses of some of
our abolition friends noble and manly in
his treatment of his subject, his appeal must
go directly the hearts and judgments of the
people of the North in view of the encroach-
ments of the slave power.
That the slight and trivial lines that now
divide the people of Vermont on thisquestion
may be broken up and that the time may
soon come when we shall present an unbrok-

our Members Of Congress, action as wide as tho poles
apart on the score of principle; for while the three
Wing Members cast their votes against the annexa-
ton of Texas and against having any territory which
might BIO acquired from Mexico, become sare terri
tory Mr.. Du1LSGuAM voted to receive Texas with
all her slaves and her Constitution torcrer prohibiting
The Legislature from freeing them. This he did in
the face of Resolutions repeatedly passed by our
Legislature and consequently against the oft repeat
ed expressed desire of the people also in opposi-
ton to the known wishes of majority of the Free
man Of his own Congressional District. For be It
known, Mr.. Dillingham; did not receive majority Of
the votes cast in his District at the time Of his cleo
ou and he haesO his opposers had expressed strong
disapproval of the Texas annexation scheme.
We will concede to Mr.. DILLINGHAM his talent
as Lawyer, especially Jury Lawyer; also good
reputation as private citizen; and the only way we
can account for his voting contrary to the known
wishes of the people of Vermont on Slavery ques-
tons and declining to vote where the honor of the
state demanded his vote, and demanded right vote,
is that he had not sufficient independence of mind to
breast the strong power of shareholders with which
he was beset at Washington. Mr.. Clarke of the
Free Press has gone into detail respecting Mr.
Dillinghams course in Congress, but we do not
deem it necessary to give all the particulars in the
case. What we have now said on the principles of
the three parties and Of facts to be treasured up,
must suffice for this week.
The county nominations may be touched upon in
any payf number.
