vention il would seem that a majority at least
of the freemen should have an opportunity of
adopting or rejecting such amendments. If
the population Of the towns in this State were
nearly equal, so that majority of the towns
would necessarily represen, majority of the
people, there might be no substantial injustice
done by submitting propositions Of amendment
Of the Constitution TO a Convention composed
cf one delegate from each organized town.
Such, however, is not the fact there are one
hundred and iweniy-one iownss Ia najoriiy,)
the aggregate population Of which is less than
one third Of the population Of the whole State /;
consequently the practical effect Of calling a
Convention Of ono delegate from each town is
TO submit propositions Of amendment Of the
Constitution, which by two thirds vote were
adudecd necessary TO he adopted. TO the decis-
ion Of Convention composed Of delegates, a
majority Of whom represent less Than one third
Of the people, thereby giving the minority
power to decide what Constitution and Laws
shall govern Vermont. 1t appears TO US that
no good reason can be given why a Consiiiu-
iional Convention should consist Of one delegate
fiom each town, and in tho proposed amend
meni we have limited the number 10 ninety,
and have provided the manner Of their election.
4 nd in order that such Convention may repre-
sent the views, interests, and wants Of ma
jority Of the people, the amendment provides
that majority Of the delegates shall be APP
poriioned to the several counties according TO
their population.
The Council, actuaied solely by desire that
the Convention called by them TO adopt the PRO-
posed amendments, or such parts as will be
most conducive to the good government, peace
and happiness Of The people, shall represent the
interests and views Of majority Of the free
men and inhabitants Of the State, have in and
by their Ordinance for the call Of said Con-
ven,ion limited the number of delegates to
ninety, and have apporiioued the same to the
several counties in such manner as will. in our
opinion, protect the just rights Of all. And
we submit 10 you whether the principle On
which said Convention is based is not, under
existing institutions, in accordance with your
views Of rights, in matters relating 10 the
fundamental and organic Laws Of the State.
Feilo,r CHirens: Trusting in your inielli-
gence and wisdom, and earnest desirc to secure
and preserve your rights and happiness, under
a Republican and Representative Government,
We submit the amendments, proposed by US, to
10 your deliberate consideration, with confident
belief that your decision thereon will be such
as shall promote your own interests, and add to
the prosperity Of the State.

ST. JonssBuRY, Apr 22d 1855.
Mr. EDIroR;-0ur village promises to present
On unusually brisk appearance this spring and
summer. Not that it has been at all dull hereto
fore, but the quantity and variety of public works
that is going on will give ii new kind Of liyell-
ness. First in Importance among these public
works are the county buildings. The Court House,
which will occupy a beautiful site on Main Street,
is to be, If not the very finest, one of the finest
buildings Of the kind in Vermont twill be built
OF brick, ninetysx feet by fifty-fve, and two stO
ries high, the first story TO be occupied for town
hall, and town offices, and the second story fort
courtroom and other rooms needfal for court and
county purposes. The rooms on the first floor viii
be sixteen feet and half high in the clear, and
those on the second floor twenty feet. The build
ing will have two fronts; the longest, in which is
the entrance to the town-hall, on Main Street. the
other on Eastern Avenue. The plan and specfca-
tons were prepared by Mr. ]. D. Towle, Architect,
Of Boston, and include all the 'modern improve
ments." Messrs +. & T. Fairbanks & Co. are the
contractors for building. The Jail is to be built on
one of the most retired streets in the village, where
it will be seen by very few except those who have
special business in that vicinity.
A large school-house is also to be erected this
spring, with view to putting in practice the sys-
TEN of graded schools This system was adopted
by vote more than year ago, but has hitherto
been unused, for lack Of a suitable house. That
which is now to be built will supply that need, and
the village will then have accommodations for four
primary schools, an intermediate, and high
school. number Of new dwelling-hOuses are to
be erected this summer. The extension Of Summer
Street is steadily building up, and new street
which has been opened in the Eastern part Of the
village is already bordered in several places BY
building materials. These new houses are much
needed to accommodate our increasing population
The work Of extending the Passumpsic Railroad
will for while, add great deal TO the life Of the
village. The work has already been begun in
small way, three Irishmen with wheelbarrovs being
busily engaged upon ''6ll'' about equal to what
would be required to connect Elliot Street and
"over the brook" in BrattlebOro. The shanties
which are going up indicate, however, the advent
Of much larger force Of the Emerald Islanders
Our Catholic population design to lay contributions
on the new corners. towards the expense Of build

secured and some funds raised.

The bulk Of our predictions crops Of last year

this, our farmers last fall, considering the pros.

this harvest, therefore, be an average Of one

LATER FROM EuRoPE.

The steamer Baltic, which arrived at New
York last week, Lrings intelligence that the
treaty Of peace was signed at Paris by all the
plenipoteniiaries, on the Goth uh. Can.
non was fred on the esplanade Of the lnvalides
the moment the signing was concluded, and all
bulletins were posted announcing the fact
Paris was illuminated and immense demonsira-
lions were continued throughout Sunday the
3Oih. The English demonstrations were more
quiet, hut historically respectable.
10 London, at o'clock, (ihe treaty having
been signed at halfpast l2,) the Tower and
Park guns fired a salute Flags were gener-
ally displayed in the city, and from the ship
ping. In the other cities similar displays we're
made, but not much enthusiasm was shown.
10 England Parliament re-sssembled on the
3lst Of March. Ia reply to a question, Lord
Palmersion said that, 'though treaty of peace
had been signed, yet ii was determined by the
Congress that the particular conditions of the
treaty should not be made public until the rail-
fcations had been exchanged at the same time
he would express his conviction that the treaty
will be deemed satisfactory by England and by
Europe. 1t would be found that the objects
for which the war had been undertaken, had
been accomplished fully. 1t would be found
that the integrity and independence OF the Tur-
kish Empire had been secUred-it would be
found that tue treaty is honorable TO all the con-
tracing powers, and that, while on the one
hand it has put an end TO a war which every
friend Of humanity must have naturally wished
to see concluded, on the other hand it will lay
the foundation Of peace, which, he trusted,
would be lasting and enduring.
On Monday the Lord Mayor of London made
official proclamation Of peace from the poriico
Of the Mansion House, aud afterwards at the
Exchange.
The troubles in Italy continue, and Parma is
still held vigorously in state of siege. Eve
ry thing is subjected 10 military diciaiion, and
the Austrian General Grenevile appears as the

arrests have been made.
