An article of nearly four columns recent
ly appeared in the Brandon Post, in relation
to Senator PHELPS and the sketch of his
life in the July number of the Wing Re
view. That sketch, and the accompanying
likeness, we happen to know, were inserted
without the least direct or indirect sucges
ton on the part of the Senator, or Of any
special friend Of his. lie only consented to
it, when urgently solicited, in behalf of the
publishers Of the Review. The innuendo
of the writer in the Post, The cforc-who as
sumes the rather unusual and uncnviable po-
sition of assailing the incumbent of an office
to which he is himself understood to be as
piring-has no other basis than groundess
surnise.
After working up the above insinuation 10
the best advantage his acknowledged abili-
ties will allow him TO do, Mr.. Barber directs
the rest Of his assault mainly to the conncc-
ton Of Judge PHELPS with the bill common
ly called Clayton's Compromise" and to
the statements of the writer in the Review
on that subject. Notwithstanding the sbrewd
guess of the Post as 10 the authorship Of that
sketch, We acknowledge no obligation 10
state, in this place, whether that conjecture
is correct or not, or to defend the statements
on which he comments. What we say will
be entirely Independent Of any such relation
10 that article as the Post attributes to US.
Mr., Barber undertakes to establish that
the measure proposed by the Clayton Com
mittee, Of which Senator PnELPs was a
member,and sustained by him, was wrong in
itself that the Northern Wings at that time
almost everywhere denounced il and that
ahe Wings, within the last two years, have
changed their views on the subject of Slave
RS, now asserting to what they then opposed
This lax conclusion is ostensibly deduccd

SARAH ALLEN,
widow OF Rowland Allen.
Ferrisburgh, July 26, 1850.

lnasmuch as our name is associated
with this company as one OF its Direc-
tors, it may, perhaps, be said that it is
for this reason that we speak SO often Of
lis merits. To attribute such motives to
us would be unjust, and uncharlab!e.
Did we not believe this Institution to be
perfectly safe, economically managed,
and beneiicent in all its objects, we would
Immediately Withdraw from any connec-
ton with it. Believing it TO be all this,
and much more, we have not hesitated
although our name is associated with it,
to speak often of the good it is designed
to accomplish, and confidently recom-
mend it to the favor of the public gene
rally.
In common with our associates, and
the early friends of this Company, we

iablished - and in connection with the
Gard al the head of this article we would
again commend the sublec; of Life Insu.
rance to the favor of the public.
Rowland Allen, the person spoken OF
in the foregoing card, was insured, in two
policies, on the 9Th of April last One
for the benefit of his wife; the other for
the benefit of friend who furnished
him with funds to go TO California. He
sailed about the 10Th Of April, and died
the l7ih day of May OH board the U. S.
Mail Steamer Oregon, off the port OF
San Diego in California.
The policies were five hundred dollars
each, and ihepremiums paid to the Com
pany were each tweniy-four dollars and
fifteen cents.

the money TO the widow, that this sun

e3S' The Brat,leboro Democrat has an ar
ticle in reply to our last remarks on "Wo-
mans Rights" of which the following is
specimen:
"The privilege of entering the lists as
competitors with tho As:ors, Girards and
Napoleons !" o dear SUI One would
think, by the way Mr.. Register and those of
his class talk about us women. that we are
not women by nature, and that all those dis
tinctiye characteristics of the sex dcnonlna-
ted feminine, instead of being God given,
are the results of artificial culture, for which
we are indebted to stringent laws of mans
contriyng, or that, unlike men. women are
not to be trusted with the rights held ncces-
sary TO selfdevclopment, lest they should
turn out after all 10 be-men by original SIN
ful tendencies Mr.. Register gravely and
fcelingly assures us that he don't believe
such a movement that is, the making them
free to compete with the aforesaid male wor-
thies -" would eIerdie the sex, but quite the
reverse l"--- Poor dear man where has
he been brought up, TO have imbibed the i'm.

old, or the widows OF good old, simplicity

In our remarks, referred to above, we
limited as gently as possible that unless Mrs.
Democrat and those who agree with her take
exception to the present laws, as refusing
them an equal chance for Distinguishing
themselves in masculine pursuits, they could
not reasonably ask any change. We further
expressed, very distinctly, our conviction
that no considerable number had exhibited
any such awful degeneiary"- but that
whenever Mrs Democrat should make re-
spectacle number OF converts, we believed
there was sufficient gallantry cxtan', togran,
them all the legal relief they desire. We
thought this fair, liberal " mode of adjust

given place, on several occasions, to the az
ticles of the Democrat on this subject. We
have now further to proposals our good

For the Middlebury Register
Troy Conference Academy.

The annual examination OF this Instiu-
ton commenced on Monday the 18th and
continued three days; during which about
80 classes were brought forward which had
been instructed in most Of the branches
prescribed in The course of study. In all
these branches we found the school provi-
ded with well qualified Teachers, and The
examinations were conducted with impar>
TALLY on their part, evincing a desire Of
having every pupil appear in his true char
aclcr as 10 scholarship. The exercise )
were such Rs 10 test the attachments Of the
pupils and afforded satisfactory evidence
that the means employed for their improve
ment had not failed of good degree of
success
The committee had an opportunity ofin.
vestigating the educational system of the
Institution, both as to lis theory and prac-
lice. The result fully sustained, in the
judgment of The committee, the high rep
utation this school has hitherto enjoyed for
thorough instruction in the several branch
es pursued.
The exhibitions occurred on Thursday.
The compositions read and spoken were
such as we had reason 10 expect from the
young ladies aud gentlemen, after witness

We some time since noticed this work,

1t is now, or will shortly be, in the hands
Of the principal publishers throughout the
State, and we bespeak for it an extensive
sale. 1t is such a work as every Vermont
err needs in his library-not only for what
it contains Of the personal history of our
FIRST Governor, and Of Tic stirring events oil
the time in which he lived, but also for it's
clear and elaborate account Of The iorna-
lion, notification, and operation Of our
Stale Constitution, down to the meeting OF

it within The reach Of every one, and is,
moreover, got up in very good style. 1t

ted more to this bencGcent purpose, than the
American Art Union, at New York-incor-
porated ten years snce-the sole object Of
which has been the promotion Of the Fine
Arts in the United States. For few years
past, funds to large amount have been an-
nually raised, by the distribution Of engra-
wings Of choice Paintings. of original Pain
tingl themselves, the work of our most &C.
compshed native artists. These funds are
distributed in manner to encourage native
talent, by purchasing neritorious works of
Art by American painters. y taste for The
Fine Arts is thus cultivated by furnishing to
thousands of subscribers works of high or
der, and Americas Art is fostered, by afford
ing employment to those gifted with artistic
genius For the last year. the nlmber of
subscribers exceeded S,00O-in all parts Of
the Union. Thus far this year, we under
stand, the number who have subscribed is
greater than that of last year at this time.
