With every morning sacrifice.
People and realms, of every tongue,
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim

Vermont Constitution.

The Vermont Council of Revision, cho-
sen in conformity with the constitution of
that State, has proposed an amendment of
that constitution, in its apportionment
of State Representatives Vermont is at
present, we believe, the only State of the
Union whose representation is not based,
in some near proportion, on population.
In Vermont every town chooses one Rep
resentative only, and, consequently, the
smallest town possesses the same proper
ton of the political power of the State as
the most populous. 1t is little singular
that the people of the State have so long
submitted to so unequal a representation.
The amendment proposed by the Coun-
Gil of Revision, provides that in addition to
one Representative from every town, each
town which has twenty-five hundred in
habitants shall have second Representa-
tive, and one additional for every fifteen
hundred inhabitants in addition to the num-
Der first named.
The Council has called a convention Of
delegates of the people of the State, to be
elected on the third Tuesday of November,
and to meet on the first Wednesday i'll
January next, to consider this and other
proposed amendments. The Senate of the
State is now apportioned among the coun-
ties according to population. This is done
by virtue of an amendment adopted few
years since.-BoSton Daily .Adrertiser.

Interesting from the Camanche Nation.

We learn that intelligence has been re-
ceived at the War Department respecting
an important national council recently held
by the Camanche Indians. This council
lasted ten days, and its object was to elect
new chief to rule the nation, Tin place
of the one recently deceased,) and the
individual thus honored glories in the
name of Buffalo Hump. On being in
stalled into office, after the Indian fashion,
this head chief called upon his subor-
dinates freely to express their opinions
upon all matters of importance connected
with the affairs OF the nation; whereuPon
many speeches were delivered. They
were generally of the most friendly char
acter, but none more so than that deiv-
cred by the newly elected chief himself.
He maintained that his people had for
merly made war upon Texas when it was
sfeeble and Alone" and had gained no.
thing; and he gave it as his opinion that if
they now continued to make war upon
Texas, since it had become part of the
United States, the result would be their
utter destruction as nation. He also
expressed his determination to do all in
his power to put a stop to the thieving de-
predations which had been committed by
portion Of his people against the white
inhabitants, and expressed hope that his
efforts would be successful. The promi-
nent members of the council having agreed
to the advice of Buffalo Hump, two subor-
dinate chiefs were appointed to commune
cate in person the result of the council to
Captain Steele, Of the ID dragons, at
Fredericksburg, by whom report was
made to General Brooke, commanding in
Texas, who forwarded it to the War De-
partment. InteW

MIR. Everett's speech at Dedham.

The Roxbury Mass Gazette of Satur-
day reports Mr.. Edward Everett's speech
at the late agricultural dinner at Dcdham.
The following passages from such source
are worth far more than their weight in
gold
" You have been pleased, Mr.. Presi-
dent, to remind this company that am a
Norfolk man. | am, sir. | was born in
Dorchester; and my ancestors, from the
first settlement of the country, were born
and bred in this prosperous town of Ded-
ham. am proud of my descent. My fore
fathers were very humble men-farmers
and mechanics. They devoted themselves
to most nambitious career. They left
nothing to their descendants OF either
fame or fortune, but good name. But,
as times go, he is not the worst citizen
who gives himself with unpretending in
dustry TO private career content to en-
bark in the ship of State as private pas
senger, and, if need be, to work his pas
sage before the mast.
{" There is another thing worthy Of con-
sideration. You stated, sir, that our
young men of enterprise had hitherto
committed a great error in leaving all
other pursuits and thronging to the city.
| agree with you entirely. But counter
current is taking place it is getting to be
much more common now than formerly,
that when man has acquired the means
of doing it, to go back to the native vii
lage, and to build snug little nest under
the trees, beneath whose shade he was
born. This success will be greatly facili-
tated by the railroads. Then, too, sir,
within radius of twenty FIVE or thirty
miles around the metropolis, we see con-
stantly ,pringing up, like an exhalation
from the soil, perfect crop Of these neat
little cottages. Men find that they can do
business in the city, and then the pure air
and tree elbow-room Of the country draws
them away for the residence Of their fam
lies, from the smoke and dust and noisy

"If any thing could satisfy us that General Tay-
lor Is perfectly Incompetent to conduct the affairs
OF the Government, it is his bringing editor
with him to establish new paper as his peculiar
organ. We knew something about these matters;
and we positively refused to come to Washington
to start any competition with the Globe. Union
The Union will have It that General
Taylor brought an editor here to establish
paper as his peculiar organ, for the Union
has claimed exemption, as an opposition
press, from the obligations of truth. But
when the Union imputes such fact, and
argues from II General Taylor's incompe-
tency to conduct the affairs of Govern
ment, does not the Union charge the last
Administration with incompetency when
it admits that Mr.. Richie was solicited to
come to Washington to start a paper in
competition with the Globe! Mr.. Richie
was too cute for that-his smartness saved
the last administration from such blum
der. Sly fox! cunning chap! He would
not come here till Mr.. Blair was muzzled,
not he-this was shrewed in Mr. Richie;
but whether it was smart in the last adj
ministration to get rid of Mr.. Blair to give
MIR. Richie clear field and clean sweep,
is matter which admits of great deal
of deliberation. The Union's argument
is, that the last administration made asses
of themselves by inviting Mr.. Richie
here, whilst Blair was left free to speak to
the people. Granted And that Richie
was smart in refusing to come in competi-
ton with the great thunderer of the De-
mocracy may be granted also. But whe-
Their the Polk administration was wise in
spinng the 64-pounder Paixan of the party
to enable It's little brass importation to
fizze by itself, is, as we before said, a
question which admits of serious consid-
