the fire and thus gave opportunity for clearing the

FROM OLD TO NEW.

This number of THE PHOENIX bears even
date with the last day of the year A. d. 1859,
and with this number the XXNIth volume of
the paper closes. During the year now Just
ending THE PHGNIX has not in all respects
come up to our ideal of country newspaper:
it has not been so valuable to our patrons as
we could wish, nor so desirable as we istefid in
future to make it. Yet we believe there are
but very few, if any, who are disposed to say
that they have not got the full worth of their
money, that they would have been better of not
to have paid for and read the paper. There is
probably much larger number who have seen
in its columns from time to time articles giving
expression to sentiments and opinions with
which they do not agree, and which they, per-
haps, regard as erroneous. To such we can on
ly say that while we respect the honestly form
ed convictions of every man, and will not wan
tonly triAe with them, we shall endeavor at all
suitable times and on all proper occasions to
give what seems to us valid reasons for the
opinions we shall express.
With this closing number we give our read
ers supplement containing the Presidents
Message. Until we shall be able to complete
our arrangements for charging THE PHuNIx
we shall occasionally issue supplement at such
times as important news shall most crowd upon
our columns.
The XXVIlth volume of THE VERMONT
PHOENIX will commence on Saturday, January
18th. While we are grateful to our old friends
whose names have can+inuad IN, an, IL. $780,,
after year, we trust to make new and additional
acquaintance. 1t may be selishness to some
extent at least, on our part that leads to this
desire. We will freely own that we like YOUR
money to the extent of years subscription.
and in return we will, through the paper, pay
you weekly visit that will not eat up your sub
stance, but which will keep you posted in all
the current news of the day, and especially that
which more nearly concerns your everyday.
business life.
Those who intend to take The PHOENIX an
other year will do well to send in earv so as to
secure the first number. The price will be the
same as heretofore.
If such change shall meet the wants of our
readers we shall publish two editions of The
PHOENIX. weekly. The first edition will be pub
lished on Thursday afternoon, and will be sent
to our more distant subscribers so that all to
whom it is sent in New England can get the
paper the week it is published. The second
edition will be published Saturday afternoon,
for the benefit of those who are reached by the
Saturday evening mails from Brattleboro. This
edition will contain the news down to the time
of going to press, reports of markets, &c. The
extra matter of the second edition of one week
will appear in the first edition of the following
week. All the other portions of the two ed-
tons will be alike.

THE REP UBLfcAN NATIONAL CONvEN
TON

TON.
The call for the National Republican Con-
vention, which we publish above, is sufficiently
comprehensive and liberal to embrace in an
honorable and cordial union all who are oppos-
ed to the extension of Slavery, and to the pro-
Slavery leanings and tendencies of the present
democratic administration. Its terms are Just
patriotic and dignifed and are, of themselves
a sufficient answer to the slanderous charges
so often paraded by democrats that the Repub-
hcans are disorganizers and disunionsts. Es-
pecially do we like the genuine, honest and
hearty spirit of sound nationality which it
breathesj and whoever is selected to lead in
the coming strife under such an ensign, shall
receive our hearty and enthusiastic support.
This call will not be very likely to suit our
opponents. They will insist, as they always
have done, that the question of Slavery enters
into the warp and wool of the Republican plat
form. Surprising it does, how came the ques-
Eion to be SO prominent? 1t is because Slavery
has become the Shibboleth of the democratic
party. If man cannot always frame to say
"Shibboleth" but says "Sibboleth,' he is treat
ed as traitor. Hon. JOHN HICKMAN of Penn
sylvama, told the whole story in a speech de-
livered in the House of Representatives on the

new and more fascinating chapter to the history
of pirates and buccaneers The Wanderer, it
will be remembered, was eoped with from
Southern port about the middle of October the
circumstances and the thief being unasccrtain-

of Bath, Me-, was the skipper who effected this
startling comp: and that only portion of the
crew were privy to or could be brought to APP
prove his plans that he had no stores or nau.
teal instruments, and that, with the aid of the
British Consul at the Western Islands where he
put in, he had laid in $4,000 of provisions, for
which, having again run away he had paid
nothing. 10 recruit these stores when they
were nearly exhausted, he had pursued several
merchantmen with design of plundcring them
and 1t was while Patten was boarding passing
vessel with this piratical design, that his crew
had stolen the stolen yacht, and made sail for
America. The vessel is in the custody of the
|. S. Marshal; and the poor fellows who brought
her back, and were in state of great suffering
and restitution, have been provided for

that either Congress or the Territorial Legislature

the latter event, there would he struggle for

under the Federal Constitution would depend for the

TnE WEATHER during the past week has been such
rs to justify remark 1t has been clear and variously
cod-tlal is to say the thermometer has indicated n
range from Is above to Il deg below zero. This lat
ter point was reached Wednesday morning. and the
weather starting thus cold held its own remarkably
well throughout the day. Frosty cattle, shiverng
horses and ruby noses with crystal or translucent
jewels depending thercfrom marked the appearance Of
such ms we saw moving in the streets. Thursday
morning was just like it, immediate predecessor, only
little more Securely closed or warmly guarded
