Address of the Council of Censors.

TO tie people Of lie State Of Vermont:
The Council of Censors elected on the
last Wednesday of March, A. d. 1865,
having closed their other labors, would
submit to you this Address, referring
briefly to the result of their deliberations.
The various subjects referred to the
Council for consideration, and the duties
and powers assigned us, are enumerated
in the forty-third article of the Constit-
ution.
We have made inquiry whether the
Legislative and Executive branches of the
government have performed their duty
as guardians of the people, and believe
that both of said branches of government
in the discharge of their respective du-
tics, have endcavored to preserve the
rights, and promote the peace and hap
pincss of this Commonwealth. The at
tention of the Council, however, has been
callcd,to the fact, that the Legislature,
for several years, has neglected to elect
State Superintendent of Common Schools,
by reason of which neglect, an important
office, for long period Of time, has been
and still remains vacant. The laws now
in force, which regulate our system of
Common Schools, furnish satisfactory evil
dence that the people regard the subject Of
vital Importance, on which depend the best
interests and prosperity of the State
The passage of the act, by which the
above named Office was created, and the
fact that several sessions of the Legisla-
ture have been held since its passage, at
which its repeal might have been sought
for and obtained, if desired by the peo-
pie, required the Legislature to fill the
Office agreeably to the provisions of law,
which they were under solemn obligation
to support or repeal. In view of the
facts, the Council feel impeled to say that
the neglect of the Legislature to fill said
Office, or TO repeal the law by which it
was created, was in violation of the Con-
stitution and Laws of the State sub
versive of the rights of the people; and it
has furnished precedent in the history of
legislative proceedings, which no subse-
quent Legislature should feel at liberty to
follow.
The Council have made inquiry wheth-
er the public taxes have been justly laid
and collected in all parts of this Com
monwealth, and on this subject we find
no cause of complaint.
The Council have had under their con-
sderation that part Of the article of the
Constitution which requires them to ex-
anime whether there is an absolute neces-
sity of amending. explaining or adding
to the organic laws of the State, and
they have endeavored to give the subject
that attention which its importance de-
mands. The Constitution of Vermont
contains all provisions necessary to pre-.
serve it from the evil consequences q

Lavater's Warning.

Trust him little who doth raise
To the same height both great and small
And sets the sacred crown ofpraise,
Smiling, on the head of all.
Trust him less who looks around,
To censure all with scornful eyes,
And in every thing has found
Something that he dare despisc.
But for one who stands apart,
Stirr'd by nought that can bcfall
With n cold Indifferent heart,
Trust him least and last of all.

He who cheeks a child with terror,
Stops its play and stills its song,
Not alone commits an error,
But grievous moral wrong.
Give it play, and never fear it,
Active life is no defect;
Never, never, break its spirit,
Curb it-only to direct.
Would you stop the flowing river,
Thinking it would cease to flow,
Onward must it flow forever
Better teach it where to 60.
