Of total abstinence, and creating for their pledge
and principle that continuous aud permanent
life and activity, which are essential 10 the tr

the highly useful operations OF other Temper
aHce Societies.

and is the Keystone which binds and supports the
whole fabric OF our lofty Temperance effort
The Order, not yet six years old, numbers AREA

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF
THE INSANE.
To The Hon. Legislature of Vermont.
'Hha nnhnrslnnnh Commissioned of the in

To The Hon. Legislature of Vermont
The undersigned Commissioner OF the insane
submits the following report:
During the year yonr Commissioner has made
three visits to the asylum, at each time max
ing 4 careful examination of every part of the
establishment and cnquirng particularly relative
to the care, management and comfortable con-
dition of the inmates. The different apartments
seem to be all neat well ventilated, convenient
ly arranged, and as nearly adapted to promote
the health and comfort OF the patients as their
unfortunate situation will permit.
The quantity OF land now belonging to the
asylum furnishes the means OF such pleasant ex-
ercise and employment in the open air as is high
ly beneficial both in regard to health and econo-
my. And an addition has recently been made
to the building which will very much enlarge
its capacity and improve its internal arrange
mcnts.
From all that your Com missioner has seen Of
this truly humane institution, he IS impressed
with the belief that it enjoys the advantages Of
preeminently good management and skli!fuI
treatment, that It's whole condition is prosperous
and successful, and that this Stale has reason to
be well satisfied with the which has there
been made OF, and the inestinable benefits which
have already resulted from, its hi thlyss.nditabe
appropriations.
From the books of the Asylum which seem
to have been kept with much accuracy an care,
the following statement is made up for the pur-
pose OF showing its present financial condition.

0--It was stated to the Baltimore Conven.

OCTIt was stated TO the Baltimore Conven-
ton by one of the delegates from Georgia.
that without the vote of New York, it was i'm
possible for the locos TO elect their candidate.
How near Mr.. Cass will come to getting the
vote of the Empire State may be judged OF
from the extracts from the Barnburner organs
in our columns to-day. 1t is impossible for
that portion of the party to fraternize with
those who nominated this Northern man with
Southern feelings. The Buffalo Republican,
an influential locofoco organ of the Barnburn-
ers says:
1t is scarcely necessary to say, that the NOM
inatiOn of Lewis Cass will be unqualifiediy re-
pudiated BY the Democracy of New York, and
will only be supported by small faction of
office holders and dough-taces.
1t is the determination Of the Barnburners
to hold convention on the 22d inst. to NOM
mate candidates and form an electoral ticket
This the N. Y. Globe threatened in case the
Baltimore Convention put forth man opposed
to the Wilmot proviso, and they evince no
disposition TO recede. Nor does The troubles
of the locofocos end here. South Carolina is de-
termined 20 form no ticket; and Georgia and
Alabama are standing with their necks stretch
ed and, heads erect, seeming danger in every
breeze, and watching an opportunity to
bolt. The doom of Locofocoism is sealed.

OF which the Washington politicians pshO at
tended were well aware before they left home.
Nine of the votes given for him were cast by
one negro driver from South Carolina, appoin-
ted at a ..neighborhood gathering" and assum-
ing TO vote for the whole State-wflere Mr..
Cass is sure of receiving no support from any
party, unless he makes an entire new! declara-
ton of principles on the slavery question
Neither has the convention given che nomina-
ton its usual unanimous confirmation. The
delegates from Alabama and Georgia refuse TO
abide by it, until fuller and more explicit ex-
plantations are given on that very question, by
Mr.. Cass's friends in the convention.
What sort of nomination tben is this-a
nomination made in convention mutilated
and packed in such manner that it can by no
admissible figure of speech D.. called body
representing public opinion in the party from
which it was constitlted-a nomination which
even now depends for it's validity in some
Democratic States upon new concessions 10 the
shareholders. which are yet to be proposed, de-
bated, and exacted.

MANCHESTER, N. livery few persons
ouI OF New Fog and are aware of The fac'
that regular city Of 900 inhabitants has
lately sprung up in The heart of New Hamp

y conveIsani with the circumstances of lis
rise aud progress. Where this city was ten
years ago, wa~nothng but plentiful growth
ofpiich pine trees, and less than half doz
en- farm houses. The site which il occu-
pies, on the east bank of The Merrimac, was
bought up by manufacturing company OF
