them again, he had felt wish 10 come 10
q city, so far distant, because some small
clouds had gathered on the political horizon,
that he might testify 10 his brethren and fell
low-ctizens here that feelings Of alienation
do not peryade the great body Of the people
IN Vermont They arc atill willing 10 stand

spill their blood IN your defence, You need
not believe thc edtora OF newspapers, Who
from selfish motives, would impress on your

We shall cherish feelings OF attachment and
fratcrnal affection for you, with the hope that

your speaking imprudently we will bear with
you. No spectacle Is more pleasant, than

tho annexation of Texas ia orr part Of the
country and still less about the acquisition
Of California, and the territories recently oh
tanned from MeNico Hut these countries

A strong impression rests upon my mind,
that our political Union is based upon our

"W hen | Grst went into the mill was
spcochlcss but my tongue has since been
looseucd, and have expressed my mind in

mill are 10 ignorant that we have to talk with
them though they were children not more
than three wears old. They keep their bon
nets on when in tho mill, aud also The men
their hats. There is but ono clock in the

placed in comparison with the mill. We had
suYh aVdisturhance about the dirt, that the
first superintendent came in with hoe and
Il shovel, and commenced work around the sink
as though he was in a barn ward. Nearly all
the girls in the mill chew tobacco. They
have also small stick, nearly as large as a
pipe stem one end Of which they chew, until
il is something like a brush. then they lin il
ia SNUFF, put il in their mouths, and suck Il
like babe. They pay twenty-five cents a
