Of approval of his dastardly assault upon Mr..
Hickman OF Pennsylvania, during the pres
ent session. The assault, owing to the very
prompt Intervention of several persons, some
OF whom were Democrats, was attended by
no serious consequences. These Democrats
did not initiate the conduct of Stephen A.
Douglas, who by accident or design, was
presen: and witnessed the assault on Mr..
Sumner without so much as lifting finger
for his rescue, for which craven conduct he
offered no other apology than that be was
afraid of compromising himself.
Northern men in Congress and out will
accept the fact of the presentation of the cane
stated above as proof that the chivalry ap.
prove of resort to the bludgeon as pun.
ishment for the utterance of free opinions on
the subject of slavery, in the halls of the Ma.
tional Legislature, ard as an encouragement,
to similar ru fiianism in future. Our readers
will remember that this same Edmunson was
an alder and abettor of Brooks and presen,
at the attack on Mr.. Sumner.
We shall see whether this ruffian logic
will prove effectual in silencing the free spiri,
of the North.

STATE Of VERMONT.
BY HILAND HALL, Governor.
A Proclamation,

Before commencing the labors of seed
time it was the wont of our ancestors, who
were ever ready to acknowledge their depen-
dence upon an overruling Providence. to set
apart day of public Prayer and Humilia-
ton. This day, like their Thanksgiving at
the close of harvest time, was observed with
a spirit of deyoutness and Humility that ever
must challenge the admiration of the Chris
tian world.
Therefore, in accordance with this time
honored and hallowed custom, appoint Fri
day, the 9th day Of April next, to be observ-
ed by the people of this state as day of
public Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer.
Let US on that day, abstain:ng from all un-
necessary labor and amusement, assemble in
our respective houses of worship, and with
hearts filled with gratitude, give thanks TO
the Almighty for the manifold blessings that
in His mercy, He has seen fit to shower upon
us-for the virtue and intelligence that in
such large degree prevail throughout our
state-and for the many advantages of relig-
ious ard civil freedom which We are permit
ed to enjoy. Let us pray that the Divine
favor may continue to rest upon us-that
true religion and morality may ever be the
influences that actuate US in the performance
Of cur duties-that the labors of the hus-
bandman IN the coming year may be crown
ed with success and his gamers filled with
an abundance of the fruits of the earth-that
don't site tranquility may continue-that
Christian forbearance and brotherly love may
exert their benign influence throughout the
length and breadth Of the land.
Let US invoke the favor of heaven upon
our schools and colleges, and pray that they
may send forth men and women whose aim
shall be to inculcate a high toned morality,
and elevate the condition of social and intel
lectual life. Let US offer up prayer for the
oppressed of all nations-for those who are
in spiritual as we'll as those in bodily bond
age. Let us pray that famine and pestilence
may be far removed from our borders-that
life, liberty and property may receive proper
protection that health and prosperity may
prevail. Finally let US pray with "a broken
and contrite spirit that when our labors on
earth are ended it will be the will of our Fa-
Their to take US under his Heavenly protec-
ton. Inland HALL.

DOMESTIC TROUBLE on AccorHr OF RE-
LIGIOus FAlTH.-There was considerable OK.
element at Albany, the latter part of last
week. In consequence Of the remuneration of
the Catholic faith by Young lady about
eighteen years Of age, named Mary +. Scott.
She had been employed for some time at the
Orphan Asylum. and having been constant
attendant at Washington Avenue Mission,
She became convert. On learning this fact,
her family became highly incensed, and her
father, an aged man, was so enraged that he
procured pistol and went to the Mission on
Friday. and threatened to take her life. For
tunately the pistol was not loaded, and Mr..
Scott was arrested and put under bonds to
keep the peace. But the affair did not stop
here, tor twenty to thirty men, and from fiji.
teen to twenty women, attended the church
where Mary was present on Friday evening,
and, at the close of the services, attempted a
personal assault upon her as she was leaving
the church. She was protected by her friends
however, until posse of police arrived, who
had hard fight with the mob before the
Young lady could be taken to her residence
In safety.

Oppression in Venetia.

Austria, instead of granting political re-
form to Venetia, according to the promise of
the treaty of reace at Villa Franco, is inhict-
ing untold expressions upon the people. The
Italian correspondent o. the Newark Adyer-
tiser, writes:
livery day the papers here are filled with
statements from private correspondents, of
new outrases in the unliberated parts of the
country. Where the people were before
chas'lsed with thorns they are now with
scorpions. Their Sroans come up with eve

Brief Locals.

Brief Locals.
Mr.. Nichols closed his lectures or phrenol-
ogy at Union Hall on Tuesday evening. No
course Of lectures here of late years has been
listened to by so large or more attentive
audience. The large number in attendance
each evening was owing partly to the fact
that there were no tickets of lmission, al
though very many attended from love of
the science and the man who so clearly but
unassumingly demonstrated it.
At the close of the course the following
resolutions introduced by Mr.. L. o. Stevens
were unanimously adopted:
Resolred-That We tender to Mr.. Nichols
our sincere thanks for the able manner in
which he has entertained and instructed US
by the course of lectures now closed.
Resolred-That We consider his lectures
conducive in the highest degree to the public
good and We therefore recommend to all,
young and old, to hear them, as the best
guide to self culture and perfection of char.
acter.

Among the ne,r things Of our place, our

Mr.. a. NJ. Cook has sold out his grocery
on Railroad street to Mr.. Downing, and has
gone into rooms just fitted up in the base
