Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1850-09-26
CIRCULAR.

Whereas Memorials have been circulated in
the First Congyessionaf Distrid of Vermont, re-
ques;ing the Federal Government to propose to
every nation with whom We have intercourse the
establishment Of Board with power 10 settle
judicially all international disputes and claims
AND whereas said memorials have met with such
favorable acceptance as to be signed by almost
every one TO whom they have been presented.
And whereas 1t is desirable that a movement
like this should not be confined TO a single corn
er of Vermont, but that the Whole State should
speak with ONE VOICE at Washington on this
all important topic, and with that view it has
been determined to circulate the same memoir
Vi in eryy foicn, and collect all the names into
me paper as the VOICE OF VERMONT
Therefore,
We the undersigned, deeply impressed with
the absurdity, the attroclty, and the ant-Chrls-
tian tendency Of War, and with the wisdom and
propriety of settling National, on the same prin-
ciple as individual differences do respectfully
request, thai all gentlemen in whose hands these
memorials may be placed. will use their utmost
exerlions 10 Lave them signed as extensively as
possible.
Posfmasiers generally are requested to receive
the memorial, and, after procuring many sig
ratures as practicable, to hand them for further
action TO the clergy OF the place, or such other
ed. to return them to the Chairman Of the Com
m;ftse.
Ministers Of the Gospel are requested, after
placing the memorials IN active hands, 10 notice
the effort from the pulpit, aud urge the prop,ie-
~ of speedy general action.
Phiianthropisfs Of ali descriptions are invited
70 Cooperate 10 a goou work, which, we hope,
will mol only prove useful in its direct effect on
governments, but be indirectly beneficial in cor
recting public sentiment on this all important
subject, by exciting thought and inquiry among
the siguers.
