ment oi all the prophecies AMI revelations OF tod
10 man. The lessons taught by the event celebrated
were dwelt upon by the speaker, who concluded by
exhorting his hearers TO follow tho example set US
IN the lille OF our Lord IN the exercise OF patience,
humility and charity. Tho custom OF taking up coll
lectons IN aid OF the orphan children OF the diocese
was urged as one OF the most commendaOlc acts OF
virtue that the Christian could ful In making pro-
vision for those little ones whom God has left to our
care. The statement that the rapid increase OF ap
plicants Tor admission into the orphan asy lums I'm
posed additional expenses upon The managers OF The
affairs Of these Institutions, and therefore called
more urgently for bcrality on the part OF those who
can contribute, had the effect OF realizing very

BRADFORD, FRIDAY MAR. 10, 1853.
Our Next Governor.

We see by our exchanges that
already the subject of the next Gov
ernOr is being discussed. The Brat
tleboro, Burlington, st. Adams,
Woodstock and Montpelier papers
have each had editorial articles on
the subject, and all of them take a
decided stand in favor of GEN. i.
r. WAsHBURNE of Woodstock. 1t
NAV be that other papers III the
State have also discussed Che ques-
tion, but we do not now call them
to mind. We have certainly seen
no paper til ut indicated any lean.
ing to, or preference for, any other
person, than Gen. Washburnc.
We publish elsewhere an extract
from an article in the Burlington
Free Press, which we wish all to
read.
Gen. Washburnc. as our readers
all know, was Adjutant General OF
the State during the war, and by
his energy, honesty, and ability
in that Office during the war, endcar'
ed himself to every soldier, and
earned the highest esteem of every
civilian, in the State; and not only
caused Vermont to respond rompt
ly to every call for men, but by his
timely warning and advice, saved
to the taxpayers of the State hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars.
So far as the county OF Orange
is concerned, the Republicans her
would, probably, for local causes
have a preference for Gen. Thomas
of our county, the present ctiicicu
and popular Lieutenant GovcrnC
Of the State. Gov. Thomas nC
only rendered efficient service IN Il
field during the war for the Union, bl
has rendered n like efficient scrviC

State. But lac assures us that III
der no circumstances would he {
