Since the call of the President for troops to as
sist in maintaining the Government, and in pre-
serving our Liberties, in the war how begun by
the Save-Power, we have seen and heard
nothing but the most determined spirit to vim
dictate the Flag Of our common Country. The
lightning has flashed from East to West, and
from West to East the news of the gathering
muster of Freemen to defend their Inheritance
The Northern armies are moving to their tents
The angry, and now exultant South will very
soon hear the tread of the advancing battal-
ions. Washington will be filled with Northern
troops.
The conflict can no longer be avoided. And
now in this great peril, in this most threaten
ing and terrific prospect, Liberty is agaiu strug-
CLING for existence. There is no longer any use
in attempting to blink the real issue now upon
us. 1t is simply whether Freedom or Slavery
shall triumph whether African servtude shall
be, in the language of Senator Hunter, L" the
black marble cap-stone of the arch cf this Re-
pnblic," or whether the fair, white marble of
Liberty shall be the key to that arch. This
issue is now forced upon US at the point of the
bayonet. Shall this Union be free or slave p
Vcrmonters, that is the gage of battle that the
South have flung defantly at our feet Let US
take it up, not in any spirit of revenge, not
tauntingly like the men who have attacked us,
but with a..solemn trust, confident faith that
the God of Battles ever fights for Freedom
The taskmaster's hosts were overwhelmed in
the Red Sea, while Israel passed over dry shod ;
and God is the same God now. And when the
Nations of Europe are one by one shaking of
the chains of tyranny, and advancing into the
light of larger and more rational freedom,
let it not be said that in America the day of
rational, educated, intelligent liberty is reced-
ing into the darkness of the night out of which
it rose.

LIFE ISsusANcE.-We are happy to learn that
the NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY Of this
town has decided to issue Policies at extra rates
to Officers of the Army and Navy, taking the
risk of war as well as climate, and all other
risks incident to war. This is a move forward.
We understand that heretofore life assurances
became forfeit in case the party engaged in ac-
tual warfare. We cannot too highly commend
the patriotic motives which have Undue I the
Directors of this staunch and reliable Company,
at this time to take such step.

The Acquisition of St. Domingo by Spain.

The Havana correspondent of the New
York Express thus confirms the reported an
nexation of the Dominican Republic to Spain;
Havana, April 5.-The news in relation
to the Dominican Republican, its annexation
to the Spanish Realm, are confirmed IN every
respect The army which will sustain this
movement is composed of about 700 men,
and four Spanish steam frigates arc a ready
in the port of St. Domingo city, or bay OF
Sameno, to inaugurate the acqulsltlon-the
Blanca, Berenguela, Isabel la Catollca, and
Velasco-a the whole matter only waits
the ratification of the Queen, by accepting
the fabricated donation of territory Jurisdlc-
ton and sovereignty, got up by Col. Font OF
the Spanish army, acting under mlnlsterlai
nsruc ion from Madrid. The proclamation
of Santana prepared under Spanish dictatlon,
(by COL Font) has been published here, with
suitable laudatory and gratulatory notices.
We make the following extract from the
proclamation of Santana

sentiment Of one man alone separated US from

Shall we allow ourselves to lose our pres
cnt position,so deal to US, bat not efficiently

children?
Before such a thing should happen before
we see ourselves like those other unhappy re-
publics, necessarily involved in civil war,
sacrificing valiant generals, statesmen, numer-
Gus families, considerable fortunes, and
multitude of unhappy citizens, without indi ng

solid and firm base before that day arrives, |
who have watched always for your security, l
who aided by your valor have defended inch

the greatness of your necessity, | bid you TO

The Newark Advertiser says that a treason
able movement is on foot in New Jersey. We
quote:
Rumors arc aaoat that secret movements
are now in progress in this vicinity for the pur-
pose of precipitng New Jersey into the seces-
sion movement, under the management of the
knights OF the Golden Circle" We under
stand that private meetings have been held
recently in reference to this project, which is to
be attempted in correspondence with similar
movements in New York
OF course it cannot succeed.
