We publish in this weeks paperth(
resolutions Of the Vermont Legislature
manly with the view Of enabling oul

will serve to show our own people the
sentiments entertained not by a few
crazy fanatics, and meddlesome old

forth to the world as the settled convic-
lions Of grave IegislatFe body.
But Vermont stands not alone in this
regard, though she seems TO have attain
ed the proud infamy ofhaslng placed
herself in the front rank in this vile abo
hilton crusade against Southern Right.
But there is a moral fluess and propri-
city in this. It's right and proper that
a state that refused to contribute either
blood or treasure, in the war of 1872,
should CALAMITY step forward and offer
herself as Gghman and Glcleader in the

perusal Of those among US who have
styled themselves par eGcelcnce "the
friends Of the Union" and who have
called upon that peculiar class to attend
the meeting on Monday next The
previous reading Of these resolutions
would not perhaps add much to their
fiery zeal for the Union.
This is a marvellous proper time for
Southern Ren to assemble themselves
together W the purpose of singing

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities,

will compare favorably with the most distin-
guished IN our country. The medical faculty
constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country--all Of them are able lecturers and the
best of teachers
Those who will contemplate our geographi-
cal position. and the extent Of our population,
can have no doubt as to the eligibility Of our
situation for an enterprise Of the kind. As
10 health, including all seasons Of the year, we
deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds Of many
students relative to the place Of studying med
icine; those who intend pTarticing among the
diseases Of the West and South should GER
tainly educate themselves at school whose
Faculty are practically acquainted with those
diseases
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
manency Of this school, We feel il our duty to

success; and that the peculiar internal orgnni.
