Parting Words.

With this number, which closes the
goth volume, the undersigned retircs
from all connection with the REGISTER,
both as publisher ana editor This
change is the result of q contract be-
tween Mr.. Conn and myself and has
been for some time contemplated. 1t is
due to both to say, that during the eight
years of oir connection, in this close
business relation, entire harmony and
cordially havo existed without a mo.
men.'s interruption. Our separation at
this time is controlled by other consider
atoms and has indeed been delayed
much longer than was expected when
our partnership was formed. In leaving
tho paper in Mr.. CoB3's hands, we have
the satisfaction of believing that it will
deserve we'll of the public under his man
agcment, and We trust he will experience
q continuance Of that favor and support
which VIC have shared from the first.
We cannot take final leave of our
readers without emotion. Eight years
have passed since We first assumed this
somewhat arduous position. We were
then quito young and inexperienced, to
undertake such responsibility; and we
did not venture to hope for even tho
measure of success We have attained.
The many who have generously extend
ed US their confidence and aid, have our
sincere thanks, and will be gratefully re-
mcmbcred
Laying no claim to infallibility, wo
doubt not that wo may at times have err
rod-aud if ever to the injury of others,
we crave their pardon-yct We can tru-
ly say that our aims have boon, from first
to last, such as our conscience approves.
To our brethren of the press with
whom our personal relations have always
been Of the most friendly character-we
leave our good wishes for their prospect
ty and happiness. The press Of Vermont
has descrvedly high rank, abroad as
we'll as at home, and will, we trust, con-
sinuc moro and more to merit its good
namo.
1t only remains for US to bid one and
all-readors, friends and brothers of the

The Kansas Debate.

The Washington Union remarks with
regard to Judge Collamer's Kansas
speech in the Senate on Friday
Mr. Collamer of Vermont occupied
two and a half hours yesterday in finish.
ing his argument on the Kanzas ques.
ton. His manner continued to be cour-
teous and digniicd, xith an occasional
episode of waggery to the close and
we must say that, whilst We dissent to-
tally from his conclusions as we'll as
many of his facts, he showed that he
had investigated the subject with great
labor. His leading object, yesterday,
wos to meet the position of Judge
Douglas, that, if it be admitted that
there were frauds in the seven districts
in Kansas in which Governor Reedor
withheld certificates, still that lie gave
certificates to large majority, which
constituted the legislature valid body
Mr.. Collamcr undertook, by a detailed
reference to tho documents, to prove
that illegal votes were given in several
other districts besides tho seven in
which cert ifcates were withheld.

DOES THE World HATE PIErY.-

counts of a somewhat extraordinary
movement in the church of England
looking towards reunion of tho Yves.
lcyans with that body. 1t seem that
several meetings have been held within
the last few weeks, attended by clergy.
men, lords, members of Parliament aud
other laynen. The definite object of
these meetings as announced has been,
to consider "what measures it may be
oxpedient to take for promoting union
with the Church of England on tho part
of Christians not at present in active
communion with her" A committee
was appointed, who directed their attcn-
ton to tho Wesleyans-lst, because the
Weslcyans generally disclam the desig-
nation of Dissenters I'd, because Wcs-
ley expressed himself to the last most
strongly against any separation from the
