against us and our very existence compels us

now no time for halting measures The whole
power of our government must be brought to

EXTRA SESSION OF TEE LEGISLA-

The Governor of this State has issued his
proclamation converting the General Assembly
in an extra session at Montpelier on Tuesday
of next we''. being the 23d day Of April at 10
o'clock A. NJ, to take into consideration the
requisition of the President for regiment of
troops for immediate service.
We think the course pursued by His Excel
iency will meet with the cordial approval OF
every patriotic manin the 8 ate In such q
crisis it is evidently proper that the people
should be consulted, and that they should meet
through their representatives to initiate and
carry forward such measures as are best calcu-

try.
The session viii Of course be very brief for
it is not likely that any other business will be
transacted than that indicated in the Governors
Proclamation.

THA POSITION OF THE PRESS.

The unanimity of the press in the Northern
States is quite remarkable, and the tone which
it uters viii do much to strengthen the hands
of our rulers The Boston Post and Boston
Herald are as jealous as any of their Repubi-
can contemporaries inworSs Of patriotism. They
agree that the honor OF our country and the
dignity OF our government demand that the
war so wickediy commenced by traitors and
rebels must be prosecuted until rebellion is
crushed out and treason punished. The New
York Herald and other strong democratic pa
pers take the same view Of the issue noSy he
fore us. The New York Dcrj Book and the
Bellows Falls Argus are tue only Journals that
we know of in this part of the country in the
interests of the seccssionists. Public opinion
will soon regulate their conduct.

SOUTHERN PRIvATEERING.-The New York
Courier and Enquirer observes, with truth, that
the idea that our commerce has anything to
fear from letters Of marque to be granted by
the so-called Government of the Confederated
States, is perfect nonsense. u is true that the
confusion likely to result from the present con-
dition of things along the shores of the Gull
may offer inducements 10 pirates to follow
their calling, but priyateers can only be called
into commission by some established Govern
ment, and as there is no Government at The
South recognized as such by any nation, the
men who would be daring enough to sail I'M
der letters Of marQue issued by the Montgom-
cry junta, would be liable to be taken by the
cruisers of every nation and swung off the
yard-arm in chains.

GET PURE ARrICLE.-lIowever opinions may
vary to the abuse of liquors beverages,
for medicinal use, live can be found who would
not prefer and recommend the pure article whenever
any is to be taken. There are two kinds of wine
spoken of in the Bible; one is recommended "a little
for the stomach's sake" the other denounced. No
doubt one was pure, the other rile. If you will use
the article do procure it in its original purity, and
only seek for it among honorable and respectable
merchants, whose character and long standing well
as Judgment can be relied upon, and to whom rep
tation for selling fine wines or liquors is of ten fold
more importance than any thing they could gain by
adulteration.
If consumers have any doubt rs to procuring, in
their vicinity, such an article as they desire, we
confidently recommend them to the old established
house of !. d. RIcnARDs & SoNs, Boston, whose ad-
