STATE OF VERMONT.
A ROCL A M TON,
by TIE GOVERNOR.

To that kind Being who gave us lile and who
has strewed the pathway OF our existence with
unnumbered blessings, we are bound by obliga.
tons of gratitude that commend themselves TO
our conscences and to the reason that God has
given ms. But we have occasion TO lament that
we have so often appropriated the bountIes of
Heaven without acknowledging the giyer--so
often received and enjoyed the good, yet failed
to be grateful TO Him from whom it came. 1t
becomes us, then, to offer, for the past the sac
rifce of broken and contrite heart, and to seek
Divine assistance for the future, that we may
live more in accordance with those high and sa-
cred obi. atoms under which we are laid
do, therefore, hereby appoint FRIDAY, the
SEVENTH DAY OF APRIL next, 10 be observed
by the people of this State as a day of Public
Humiliation. Fasting and Prayer.
Laying aside all pursuits unsuted TO day de-
signed for such purpose, let us meet in our u
sual places OF public worship, and reverently bow
ourselves before the Most Hgh--humby con-
Tossing our countless sins, ana mporing their
forgiveness through Savor's aloning blood
And let us suppllcate aid from Him in whom ali
fullness dwells that, for time TO come, we NAV
| render, for the iavors bestowed on u.s. the hom-
age of hearts more grateful, and service more
devoted and entire.
Impressed with sense ofour dependence up.
on the Divine Favor to give success to all our
Undertakings, let us Fray that tn smiles OF Heav
Ell may rest upon the labor OF our hands for the
coming year that the seed which shalt be cast
into the earth may grow into an abundant har.
vest to reward the laborer for his toll, and save
our people from the desoaton OF famine.
Let us also bescech Him by whose bidding dis
eases cone and go, that we may be saved fiom
wasting sickness, and especially that the desola-
ting disease which has recently renewed its aav.
ages on the Eastern continent, may not be per-
United to revisit these Western shores.
And recognizing the declaration Of Sacred
Writ that "except the Lord keep the city the
Waterman waketh but in vain," as containing a
truth applicable TO all the interests and concerns
OF men, let US commend to the protecting care
OF Heaven all our cherished and precious inter
ests, whether pertaining TO this life or TO that
which is to come.
Given under my hand at Enosburgh, this four
teenlh day of March, in the year of our LORD

plications for the loan abroad.
House.-Mr. Cummins, of Ohio, asked leave
to Introduce resolution, expressing sympathy
with France-but leave was not granted.
The orders of the day were then taken up, and
Mr.. Inge, of Alabama, made a long speech in

vital parts of the country, and press it home by
fire and sword. Such are the terms which we
insist upon in this treaty of ignoble peace.
Mr. Webster alluded to the irregular circum-
stances connected with the treaty, which re-
versed the usual order Of things and proposed to
ratify first and negotiate afterwards-to set up a
treaty and then send two ministers to negotiate
it. He expressed great repugnapce towards the

supposed he should be called Mexican Wing,

Mr.. Buchanan, in his Instructions to Mr.. Sill
dell when the latter was sent to Mexico to make
Peace aud settle the Boundary, directed him to
offer
For the boundary of the Rio Grande, the as
sumption by The United States of the debt due

In these same instructions he confesses that
Texas had not shadow of title to the Northern
part of the territory on the east bank of the Rio
Grande- hence his offers to buy. Mark this
too: the instructions were dated Nov. 10, l645,

sed to be in favor of the Wilmot provso, but it
was mere trick to save their bacon. In less
than four months they will come out for Levi

taton, &C. Col. Gugy (royaist in the last re-
beIlon) denounced Papineau iercely, accusing
him of republican projects, union with the Uni.

sdent, does not of itself, constitute crime and
because, If such appeals were punished MS insub-
ordinations, 1t would efiectualy debar them from
asking for redress Of grievances, and thus defeat
the ends of justice. Governor Marcy objects
also to Court Martial now, when so many Off
GERS arc wanted in the field, perhaps IN active
operations against the enemy, and argues that
court of inquiry would answer all the purpose
for the present; and nlimating that if before
that Court General Worth were TO fail to make
out his charges against General Scott, then
Court Martial might be convened to try Worth
on Scotts charges.
The result was that Mr.. Trist was used up,
and after personal interview with General Scott
he discovered his mistake, and begged the De-
partmcnt TO keep his letters from the public, or
to permit him to withdraw them thus:
PurpLA, July 90, ls47.
To Mr.. BUcHANAN-SIR: In my
No. 8, under date 9TH instant, / transmitted u
copy of the letter addressed by me 20 Gen. Scott
under date 25th June, aud his reply to the same.
This constituted the commencement of our in
tercourse with respect to the duties with which
was charged. Justice, to say nothing of my
own feelings, towards gentleman and public
servant, whose character | now believe | had
entirely misconceved- demands that should
embrace this early opportunity TO say that his
tchole conduct in this regard has been character
lied by the purest public spirit, and fidelity and
devotion which could not be surpassed, TO the
views of the Government in regard to the restor-
alton of Peace. This spirit, on his part--as will
appear when the details are communicated has
manifested itself not III a passive way merely,
las might be supposed from the nature of our rel
alive positions and dutles,) but in u disposition
to assume responsibility, and responsibility Of
the gravest kind, in utter disregard of consequen.
ces to himself And this disposition, or rather
this readiness and fixed determination on his
part, although the occasion which has called it
forth did not relate TO the discharge of his mill
tary duties, strictly speaking, has not required
any appeal from me to elicit it, but has manifest
ed itself in the most spontaneous and patriotic
manner Under these circumstances it could
not but be cause of the most serious regret on
my part, if the correspondence between us that
took place shortly after my arrival in this coun-
try, should in any way be brought to the notice
of the public, and, consequently, if, in your Judy
ment, consistent with proprety, it would be high.
ly gratifying to me to be permitted 10 withdraw
il from the files OF the Department.
Yours, very respectfully,

THE LONG HIDDEN MURDER.-The Worces
ter Telegraph contains the following additional
statement of the arrest and -committd of Mr.
John Cook, Jr., of Winchendon, formerly of Ash
burnham for the poisoning Of his wife fourteen
years ago:
We knew the defehdent many years ogo, as a
farmer of repuled responsibility. At the time
of his arrest for this crime, he was living with
his fourth wife. Cook was brought to this town
yesterday, and is committed ill the next criminal
term of the Common Pleas.
Mrs. Malinda Ward, a sister Of the woman
supposed to have been murdered testified
"That the wife on certain Sabbath afternoon
about tea time, was asked by the defendant 10
try some Of his cider, which he said had kept re-
markaby well or sweet. She consented to drink.
About an hour afterwards, the husband called in
the witness now before the magistrate, from the
other part of the house. The witness found the
wife on the bed in great distress, and trying TO
vomlt. She gave her some peppermint, but with.
out creating relief The wife continued to grow
worse.
During the night, the defendant told the wit.
ness to go and lie down with child which slept
in the adjoining room. While there, the witness
heard the defendant mix something in a tum5ler
and which he gave the wife to drink, who then
began to grow worse so fast, that the witness in
sisted on knowing what he had given her. He
said it was hot sling. A physician was also called
in the night, but he could do nothing to save the
woman, who died about 10 o'clock, next morning.
The witness insisted on u post norton oxamna
ton, but was refused"
After death, the body became very much swol-
len, circumstance which caused great anxiety
in the mind OF the sexton, Mr.. John Hastings OF
Ashburnham,l who says Ae has kept an eye on it
ever since It was placed in The tomb, which was
on the "Wednesday after the death. The sexton
teslifes that the body did not change as is usu.
ally the case. The chest continued IN remark
able state OF preservation Till the last OF January,
lo4S, when he accompanied two medical gentle.
men to the tomb, and the contents of the stom
ach were taken out and carried to Prot. Webster.
who after thorough analysis, reports that he
found about .fve grains Of arsenic IN wha, was
sent him.
