Town Election

Montpelier. On Tuesday morning X. n.

imposed upon the members of the 9der.-
Some of the leading Know Nothing papers
in that city and 10 Philadelphia have lately
contained articles IN favor of doing away

so that nominations can be made openly
AT meeting at Trenton, N. j., lately, this

as it is injurious.
In bringing this communication to cl ,se,
| cannot forbear expressing with you, and, |
hope, the whole country, heartfelt gratula-
tons that all the elements of prosperity, de-
signed to make people great, contented and
happy, continue TO exist IN our favored land.
Every branch Of industry has been amply re-
warded. Our fields have teemed with rich
and abundant crops, yielding plenty of all
that is needful for man and beast. Our vari-
Gus works of internal improvement are steadi.
ly and constantly advancing by the timely
and judicious aid of the State, developing our
hitherto hidden and latent resources and
bearing off to the markets of the world, at
cheap rates, the mechanical, agricultural and
other products of the country. Education has
also received an impulse by Legislation which,
it is hoped, will be continued, and carried out,
and Cause our State ultimately to take po.
sition upon this subject not inferior TO that of
any State in the Union. Under benifcent
and overruling Providence, we are still per-
mitted to enjoy that sacred and greatest of
all privileges, relating to man in social life,
civil and religious liberty, making this one of
the freest and happiest forms of government
on the earth's broad surface. An efficient and
pure administration of the laws, by all the
departments pf the government, Executive,
Judicial and Legislative, together with short
session of the Legislature, and the enactment
of necessary, wise and wholesome laws, will
also add to the many blessings which have
been bestowed upon our favored people, and
will meet with their hearty approval, ire
spective Of parties, throughout the State.

Venezuela dates to 18th OF September, are
received. Business is dull on account OF the
revolution. Gen. Alvarez is marching against
the rebels. A party of government troops
were captured near Truxlo by robbers, and
were disbanded and sent back.
Great excitement ensued. The citizens
armed themselves. The u. S. Consul and
principle citizens sought shelter in the vessels.
On the 18th, the government troops and
robbers fought. The latter were defeated,
and the leader brheaded. The American
residents held meeting to solicit the pres.
euce of u. s. vessels.

ABOLITION MOVEMENTS.

The New York Herald pretends 10 somc
astounding discoveries in regard to the de-
signs and efforts of the Abotiohists here
and and in Europe. Without believing that
there is much truth in its statements, we give
them TO the reader. 1t says:

Europe, negotiations have been in progress
to procure money from that quarter TO So

Mr.. Won Buren has been u long time absent
from his country. We are not prepared to
say that he has had finger in the pie, but
our readers will not fail TO observe that du-
ring his stay on the other side of the water an
entire change has been made in parties ON
this. He left his country with whig, a
democratic and an abolition party; he returned
to it with a democratic and an anti-slavery
party. One OF his most intimate friends
Preston Kiug--is at the head of the latter,
exhorting the old democracy to abandon tho
fields Of their past trumphs, and to range them
selves under the pirate banners of abolition.

These are remarkable condolences. They
are followed by the arrival of large sums of
money, the very sinews Of political as well as
physical wars.
We thus have new phase in the elective
struggles Of our country, as well rs new par
ties to the contests. Well may Know Moth
ingism open its suspicious and jealous eyes
to European intervention in our affairs. Our
enemies are vigilant and confident. With

side of the Atlantic, and their political organ
