The first session Of the Council of Cen.
sors will commence at Montpelier on " ed
nesday, June 8. A good dea of business
will naturally come before item, and we
trust that it will be disposed Of iccep,ably to
the freemen of the State. AnC as the Coun-
cll Is composed of men who belong to one
and the same party, 1t is to be hoped that no
undue advantage will be taken on that ac-
count; and like Massachusetts, overleap
the bounds Of decency and propnety, and do
that which IN after life they will ever repent
dong. There are matters which demand at
ten,ion and reform, and 10 winch the Coun-
cii i'..~ already had their attention directed.
Among them may be named the manner IN
which our elections are effected aud parti-
cularly that of town elections These we
think should not be effected by hand or aye
voting, but IN all cases by ballot, aud the
ballots should be previously prepared, the
same as IN State elections, and shpud be
/ printed upon on piece of paper, so that an
individual can 60 to the polls and opposite
his vote, and then 60 about his buslSess.---
This would save time and not "a little lrou.
Bile. a plurality should govern. AS these
elections are now conducted, there is moth,
ing right about them. Many times, when
opposition Is up, boys are allowed to vote
and not few aliens, who are not qualified
Then, when hand vote is taken, many
raise both hands. Our town elections are
mere farces and call loudly for improve
ment.-Benningio Banner

THE UNioN, OR TnIRp DEGREE.-We

merican party, exposed by some perured
villain, or purloned by an unprinclpled
thief We are Glad that such a rascal has
existed, and much good may his rascali,y do
our opponents. II puts final quietus upon
the calumny of our adversaries, that the A.
merican party is Abolition. This is its Third

asserted, that AN ABOLiTIONlST CAM

A gentleman who participated in the forma-
ton of this degree and the obligation is now
in the city, and tells Us it was formed for The
express purpose Of keeping out The .Aboiition-
isis. We publish it with pleasure, and the
only regret we have in the matter is, that
the scoundrel was not smart enough to err
pose ii long ago. Read it, all of you, and
say, can an Aboitionis, be member Of the
American paty' Mo- no ! no will be the
unanimous response.

From the Louisville Journsl.-K. N.

There can be no doubt in the world that
the National American Convention will
promptly reject any proposition looking TO
FfeesoIlIsm. The delegates from Massa-
chusetts and even some of the delegates
from other Northern States may secede, but
let them do it if they choose. Let all who
are unwilling to be national seoede from the
Convention and from the party. What the
party cannot accomplish as a national party
will be left unaccomplished.

From the Burlington FREQ Press.
National Hospitalify.--A tract for the
times, by Rev. w. II. Lord, Montpelier, E.
=. Walton Jr. The substance of this able
and scholarlike tract was preached in Mont
pelier as a sermon on the day of the late An
nual State Fast. As the author says IN hls
preface, " It is in no respect partisan or sec
tartan, but is in the best and comprehensive
sense Of The word. political, for it treats Of a
subject most vital in all its relations to our
body polite, and TO our national existence
and perpetuity, and applies to it the broadcast
and best established principles Of history and
christianity" Mr.. Lord is man of ability,
and he has presented to the reader an inter-
esting and profitable discourse. Most read
ers will find it to contain valuable informa-
ton more or less new to them, and the rcfec~
tons arc those of thoughtful, candid aud
fearless writcr-and as such they will be
appreciated by thoughtful and candid men
whether they do or do not agree with every
scntinncn, which he utiers.
From the American Journal
Aside from the very valuable statistical
matter embodied in the Tract, are various
suggestions of political and moral bearing,
which demand, and will receive, particular
consideration at the present time.
Those who do not endorse the views OF
the writer, will find much that is interesting
in this discourse.
We shall give some extracts from tho
Tract as soon as we can make room fol
them.
