lature has granted permission TO those having the
matter in charge to place statue Of the distn-
guished Vermonter on the top Of the monument il

To Our Subscribers.

On and after the first of January next the terms
Of payment for THE VERMONT PuGSIx will be in
rariaJiy in Advance. The names of all others will
be dropped from our list. Hereafter we shall dis
continue the paper when the term paid for expires,
unless the subscription is renewed.
In coming to the above conclusion VIC are guild
cd rs well by our own experience as by that Of 9TH
err newspaper publishers. We believe the system
of ad vance payments will be the best for both pub
Usher and subscriber. As large share of our
patrons now pay in advance the system will COM
mend itsolf to their habits. We have another class
of subscribers who are abundantly able and will
ing pay upon the presentation Of their bills, but
who accidentally neglect to do 80 until they are
men we know only by reputation we seldom see
them and hence their bills are suffered to run to
the inconvenience of one party and the mortifca-
ton of the other There n also another class, which
we are thankful is of very limited numbers. conf

called upon for payment they conclude to stop their

that such discontinue their subscriptions imme-
diately.
1t is impossible for US to know personally half
of our subscribers. They may desire to continue
their paper or may not. wehave but one alterna-
tive, either to continue or discontinue sending pa
pers to them. If we do the former we may be
sending them the paper against their wishes, and
months hence receive orders to stop them If we
discontinue them without notice we incur hostility
and lose their patronage. By adopting the rule Of
Advance payments we shall know exactly who want
THE PHOENIX and who do not, and thus avoid COM
hitting such errors.
The terms of The VERMONT PHOENIX, for 1858,
will be $3.50, Invariably in ddrance. The paper
will be discontinued when the time paid for ex-
pires unless the subscription is renewed.
For those in arrears for the present past years
We will receive $3.50 per year until January LIST

Who in adult years, has not felt the power of

But the young are more susceptible OF such inn

a combination of mental and moral qualities
On the power derived from the possession of
these qualities, should be the main reliance for
successful schU0l government, and not upon the
ability TO enforce obedience. Enforced ohedi-

is applied the bow remains bent but, with

MOVEMENTS OF THE UTAH EXPEDITION
Advices from Fort Laramie 10 October 22d state
that Col. Cooks command of dragons were four
miles this side, and that they had encountered a
snow storm five days previously. Col. johnson,
when last heard from, was $50 miles beyond The
fort, and the express messenger who left him en-
countered seven inches of snow in his journey.
At last accounts Col. Johnson's men, horses and
teams were failing rapidly, owing to the slim
supply of corn and the absence of grass News
had reached Laramie that the Mormons had
burnt three government trains, of 75 wagons in

BAD TAsrR.-Aftcr the BORDER Ruiiian"
Democracy have been so thoroughly whipped as
they have in Kansas it would appear graceful in
them to acknowledge the corn and give up
the game Instead of that, however, they are
bGsily engaged in trying to show tina, the tri-
umph is about half and half democratic, the
Boston Post even claiming that Parrot the dele
gate elect, is National Democrat" The best
answer 10 such an impudent assumption is to be
found in the following extract from speech de-
lvered by Mr. Parrot, during the campaign pre-
beding his election. He said
"a man asked me the other day If did not
think it possible for him to lie National Demo
crat, and still be good Free State man. re.
piled that it in Kansas he attempted to be a
National Democrat and genRemdn--tosay moth
ing about being a Free State mani thought he
,could hare a hart time Of it,"

SQuATTER SovEREIGNTY.-HOw often we
have been told by the democratic papers Of this
State that the principles of the Nebraska-K an
sas bill were such as 10 give every citizen, ev-
cry squaiter even, equal privileges in deter
mining the institutions OF a territory in which
they lived. To The minimizing multitude this
anxious care and solciude COR their rights
seemed truly democratic. They went 10 Kan
sas under such assurances and, trusting in theii
truth, they intended the territory for their fa.
ture residence. That they have long since
found all these democratic assurances mere
cheats and decisions, and have turned from the
party in which they were educated is well
known. But that they would live TO read from
a democratic paper such principles as the fol-
lowing, which we find in the Richmond Ell.
dniner we did not believe, Here is what a
democratic paper says of such men as have set.
tied Kansas, and this is the way il inlerprels
democracy:
sit is all the Legitimate result Of attempting to
make, so to speak, silk purse out Of a SOW ear
of attempting to constitute sovereign State a
law-obseryng, order-loving, constitutional spect-
ing Commonwealth out Of heterogeneous motley
ofspeculators, backwoodsmen, rowdies, and cut,
throats. Kansas ought to be ruled with rod o.
iron and the strong arm Of imperial power for
dozen years yet to come, without so much as a con
stable being ected by the people (God save tn,
mark , during the whole time. Then the poll,
might he opened and the people left perfectly FIRE,
10 frame their own institutions in their own way .
Then there might be an orderly, just and satsfac
toiy settlement Of all yexed questions by competen
suffrage There cannot be until then"

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,

REBuILOISG.-The great gap opened in the bus
mess portion Of Bratteboro by the late fire is
measurably filled, SO far as building is concerned.
Premises will now soon be ready for most of those
who were thus summarily thrown out of business,
and il the times are favorable the hum Of industry
will again rcsound in its accustomed places.
The Meodeon building is nearly completed. 1t
is about so by 20 feet, three stories in height be-
side basement of two stories, and wing enclos-
ing the boiler, sc. This building will afford am
pie room for the workshop and sales room of
Messrs. Estey 4 Green, beside accommodating 9TH
ers with n machine shop and similar works in the
basement.
Messrs. Dwinell, Gates & Bliss. have erected n
cabinet shop on the site Of the old factory, forty
five feet square, with small wing on one side,
and two stories in height besides the basement
The internal arrangements will shortly he COM
peted and the hands set to work. They have wise
ly resolved to have their finishing and ware rooms
elsewhere, which will decrease the liabilities Of n
fire as well as lessen the hazard. Their shop will
otherwise accommodate many workmen as the
building burned.
Mcssrs Woodcock < Vinton have rebuilt the rule
factory in an improved manner. The rooms will
be much higher and more commodious than those
of the old building. The entire upper story is TO
be occupied by Charles l.. Mead, successor Of f..
A, Stearns & Co., for the manufacture Of rules
Messrs Crane vinton will have their machine
shop in the lower story. Tho building is we'll
adapted for this or any other mechanical business,
and will be great improvement upon its prede-
ccssor.
These with the other Improvements in the repairs
Of dwelling houses give that portion of our village
very inviting aspect. We hope the time is not
far distant when other manufactures will be intro
duced and the grounds so well adapted for such
purposes fully occupied

THE NOVEMBER FREsHET.-The late rain
storm has proved more destructive in central and
western New York than did its predecessor a
few weeks since. The canal breaks have caus-
ed serious damage to the New York central rail-
road track, preventing the passing of trains on
Wednesday, while at Elmira the storm washed
the Erie road so badly as also to prevent the
running of trains. The Genesee river at Roch-
ester is quite as high as during the food last
spring, and no less than six bridges along its
course have been swept away. The Ohio river
is twenty feet above low water mark, at Wheel
ing, and was still rising at last accounts. The
captain Of a steamer which arrived at cincinnati
on Tuesday. frum PitsbuIg, reports that al The
tributaries of the Ohio from Wheeling down
were pouring in vast volumes of water, and the
river was ris ng at the rate of three inches an.
hour at Cincinnati

The Republican Party.

II is less than two years since the Repub-
tcan party, as a national party, came into ex-
istence under its presen, distinctive name.--
Having its origin in the conservative action of
those who seek to inierpose all constitutional
means 10 the extension of Slavery, and to re-
store the action of the general government on
that and other matters Of national concern, to
the construction put upon our organic law by
the early Presidents and their distinguished
contemporaries, it has achieved success as
decided as it's mission is elevated. 1t is quite
true that it has not secured national victory.
Blu, the party has won triumphs the effects Of
which will be lasting. 1t has carried twelve
out Of the sixteen northern States, and made
lis influence strongly felt in the others. This
is success in the highes, degree encouraging
Like every other rompa raiiyely new organl-
zaiion The Republican party was made up of ell
cmenis which it will be the work of time to

iticians who are not con,eutet TO labor and 10

lille means for reaching stations of emoument
and honor. But these ara the exceptions

MAssAcnUssETTs.-The House of Representatives
will be composed Of men Of mark Of almost all po-
litcal ages. Last week we noticed the names Of
some of those who had years since achieved nation
al regulations, as Morton, Rockwell, Cushing.
Duncan. and others. Upon reviewing the list we
notice the names Of several to whom the legislative
hall will open for them new sphere Of action.
Among those with whom we are personally nc
quaintel are Col. Rollin W. Keyes, OF Someryille,
formerly from Putney, in this county, Amasa Nor
cross, Esq, of Fitchburg, and DR.. Cyrus s. Mann
of Stoughton. The first named is a democrat but,
strange as it may seem, very worthy man and a
gentleman. The others are republicans. They
all men Of ability. 1t gives us pleasure to see
those good republicans and capital fellows-Gold-
smith F. Bailey Of Fitchburg, and Charles Field Of
Athol, returned to the Senate. They will do hon
or to that digufed body.
