OBSERVER.
The Barre Gazette, edited by Hon. n. F.
Bryant, the leader Of the American party in
that section, and an endorser of the Fillmore
ticket, speaking of the action of the late SEES
sion of the American State Council, says it
" ended in the adoption of a series of resolu-
tons ratitying the Philadelphia nominations,
condltionally, and pledging to the nominees
the support of the American party in the
State upon their endorsement of the Ameri-
can principles" That is, upon their endorse.
ment OF the national platform of the party as
laid down at Philadelphia. which, of course.
they will do, but we trust the masses of the
party will repudiate the ticket at the polls.

THE STATE REFORM ScHooL.-rhe ninth
annual report of the Trustees has been made
tothe Legislature, and shows that the insti-
tuition is in. prosperous condition.
There are eight separate schools in the es-
Enlistment, containing an average of about
seventy scholars to each school. These schools
are graded according to the proficiency of the
pupils who are promoted from the lower to
the higher classes according to their advance
ment III study. Eight teachers are employed,
one for each school, four of whom are males
and four are females the experiment of EN-.
ploying the latter as teachers has proved emf
nently successful. The attainments Of the
scholars fully answered the expectations of
tie Trustees, being alike creditable to pupils
and teachers. About two hundred and thirty
volumes of books have been purchased to-
wards forming library, and further purchas-
es will be made until the appropriation has
been exhausted. This library will supply D
pressing want.
The report states that with the exception of
the varioloid, which prevailed among the
boys to a considerable extent during several
weeks of the last winter, the health Of the
inmates of the institution has been good dur
ing the year. The physicians report states
that between ninety and one hundred were
i'll with the yarioloid. There were three
deaths during the year.
The reports of the Treasurer, Superintend-
ent, Chaplain and Physician accompany that
OF the Trustees From the Treasurer's report
we learn that the receipts for the year ending
Nov. 30, 1866, were 500, I75 II, and the ex-
penses $58 $40 Sc. The income of the Ly-
man fund L$20,000) for the year has been
$3.50. The Superintendent's report states
that the whole number of boys committed
during the year was 28S apprentices returned
by their masters, 26; apprentices lett their
masters, and were arrested and re turned

and boys escaped from the institution, and

their continuance in the Institution was con-
sidered inconsistent with its purposes, and
prejudicial to its interests.

by annrentices or their friends. of had treat

FREMoNT's ANTEcEDENTs.

Complaint is made in quarters anxious and
determined to be dissatisfied, that Col. FREMosr
lacks experience in political life. There is one
incident in bis history, however, which proves
that this complaint is not quite well founded,
that he has had experience of certain designs
of the Democratic Parry and that the frmness
Of his character, and the sincerity OF his pOliii-
cal convictions, rendered it impossible for that
party to make him the instrument of accom-
plishing them.
We find the facts of that incident which we
have known for some lime, stated ia the fol-
lowing paragraph, from the Detroit Tribune,
giving report Of speech made there on the
2Slh ult., by gentleman from California;
IMPORTANT POLITICAL STATEMENT.
Hon. GEoRoR C. BATEs, of California, in
the course of his speech, made the following
important political abatement When he (Mr.
BArRs,) vas expected 10 sail for California, in
August, 1855, he was persuaded by Mr. PALMER,
Of the firm Of PALMER. Cook & Co., bankers Of
San Francisco, to remain until October. when
lie and Col FREMosT would accompany him
ihiiher. Mr. BArEs postponed his departure as
desired But when the time for departure arrived
Col Fremont, although his trunks were packed,
did not GO, but ordered his baggage to the Me-
tropolian Hotel instead. This was in conse-
quenes of the following facts Governor FLoYD,
Of Virginia, had just arrived in New York City
for the special purpose Of having an interview
with Col. Fremont, and the result Of that in

THE CRY OF THE PERIsHING.

From along the Kansas border,
Sounds Of wailing come;
There, to cries Of Law and Order,
Fearful deeds are done.
Brothers, whom your aid should cherish,
In that distant land,
Cry, OH help US, or we perish
By the murderer's hand.
Northern men, with northern feelingsl
Can ye calmly hear
This sad tale, whose strange revealings
Chill the heart with fear
Here, in homes Of ease and gladness,
Safe your children sleep;
There, in lonely, wakeiul sadness,
New-made orphans weep.
See ye not vile form. lowering
In the darkened air.
With Deaths pail and shadow covering
That broad land so fair
Freedom, with her gentle pinion
Ready spread for fight
Shall she leave that fair dominion
Curs'd with slavery's blight
Patriot freeman! wilt thou falter
Ere the work is wrought
Man Of God! before The altar,
See thou slight it not.
Votcrl rise in truth defiant,
And, like David, smite;
Wrong shall fall, powerless giant
GoD defends the Right.

er lived. He admired industry as much as he
despised slo,h-and there has never been known
an instance where he did not furnish employ,

iress.
Early one morning, while Mr. G. was walk,
