A Remarkable Family Meeting.

We are much obliged to one of the party con-
cerned, for the following interesting article
The cases are doubtless rare where an entire
Vermont family has been scattered over the
Union. and yet has retained the old homestead as
! common centre of attraction. The cases are
not rare, however, where the sons and daughters
of Vermonters are scattered far and wide,
but ever retaining the liveliest affection for
their old mountain home, the village church and
school, and the graves of their fathers" Many
from the South and West, have been in the hab-
it of vending their way to old Vermont in June,
July and August, to return in September and DC.
tober; and now that the facilities for travelling
have been so greatly improved, the number is
greatly increased For fortnight or more the
tide of emigration has been from the South ant
West to the North and East. We heartily unite
in the suggestion that all the absent sons and
daughters of Vermont should initiate the exam
pie here recorded. Aside from the happy fam
" meetings which may thus be arranged, We
venture to add, as the result of our own some
what limited observation, that no section Of the
/ North is so attractive, or so saubrious, as Yer
mont in the summer months

Annexation Projects.

There is The best reason to believe that avery
extensive plan of Annexation Is under advise
ment within the Democratic Party, and that % IS
almost definitely concluded upon. The question
more Immediately under consideration among the
leaders has been whether the projects contem-
plated by them should be proposed as issues for
TINS campaign, or should be reserved for action
after the result of the ensuing electon. These
designs contemplate the acquisition Of Porto
Rico, St Domingo, Cuba, and province ofCeu-
/ trail America, stretching from sea 90 sea. The
whole Of these territories must necessarily be
slave-h0ldine. and il is an essential part Of the
design 10 establish on the shore of the Pacific,
"a siayehoidlng community 10 hem IN and TO cut
off the intervening region of Mexico from coun-
ter influences, and 10 have a bearing upon the
decision of the slavery question in California.
In case ofa Democratic triumph, It Is thorough
/ ly understood that the entire influence OF the
administration would be given to the division OF
the State, and the admiss on of the Southern
half 10 restore the equilibrium, which " the
South Is said to have lost by the admission OF
the whole as a Free State. There is no more
doubt of the realization of all these plans If the
Democrats succeed, than there was IN lS4 that

About the time that Gen. Pierce was engag-
