and higher power than the people else the oath OF
Office they have taken il mockery. lie regrets
that conscience IL secuted in these latter days but
does not believe that the people Of Vermont
entertain notion that they are absolyed' from
obedience TO a law which does not happen to
anti their views The law must be enforced-it
should be remembered that laws themselves
are subject 10 public opinion and the provisions
Of the Constitution, and therefore may be
changed or annulled 1t is the province Of the
;udic,ary to determine all constitutional ques-
tons
The Governor thinks it not best to boast too
mueh of our attachment 10 the Union, lest over
much zeal might give ground tor suspicion ne
states that Vermont solicited admission INTO the
Union, and fully adopted the Constitution She
has never asked important amendmsnts ana
never been found with others in acts tending 70
the violation of the same. lie hopes that the
cry of danger to the Union, like the cry Of dan

COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA BY RAILWAY
The London Times speaks with great conf
dence as to the result of scheme which has
been almost decided upon, for constructing
railways through the Euphrates Valley, &c,
whereby the route from England to Calcutta
would be altered materially and would lie
through Ostend Trieste, by the Mediterranean
Sea, to the Orontes thence to Bussorah, and by
the Persian Gulf to Bombay where it would
meet the Indian railroads now actually COM
mcncod, and by THAT time completed to Cab
cutta. This scheme, which it is calculated
would occupy FIVE years in the completion,
would shorten the distance one-half, the circuit
by the Dead Sea being done away with.
