Before laying aside his robe of Office,
President Johnson issued an address to the
people of the United States, in which he
freely relieves the long pent up agony of
his mind. After Lengthy review of his
official course, and touching appeal to his
tory for justice, a due appreciation of his
labors and the vindication Of his measures,
he arraigns Congress after the following
fashion:
Lot us turn for moment to the history
of the majority in Congress which has act
ed in such utter disregard of the Consttu-
ton, while public attention has been care
fully and constantly turned to the past and
eXpiated sins of the South, and the SER
wants of the people in high places who have
boldly betrayed their trust, broken their
oaths of obedience to the Constitution, and
undermined the very foundations of liber-
ty, justice and good government When
the rebellion was being suppressed by the
volunteered services of patriotic soldiers
amid the dangers of the battlefield, these
men crept without question into place and
power in the national councils. After all
danger had passed, when no armed foe re-
manned, when n penitent people bowed
their heads to the flag and renewed their al
legiance to the Government of the United
States, then it was that pretended patriots
appeared before the nation and began to
| pirate about the thousands of lives and mil
lions of treasure sacrificed in the suppress
! sion of the rebellion, They have since
persistently sought to inflame tho preiudic-
/ % on tl,
tard the restoration Of peace and harmony,
and by every means to keep open and ex-
posed to the poisonous breath of party pas
sion tho terrible wounds of a four years
war.
"They have prevented the return of peace
and the restoration of the Union, and in
every way rendered dclusive the purpos-
es, promises and pledges by which the ar
my was marshalled, treason rebuked and
rebellion crushed and made the liberties of
the people, and the rights and powers of
the President, objects of constant attack.
"They have wrested from the President
his constitutional power Of supreme COM
mand Of the army and navy.
"They have destroyed the strength and
efficiency of the Executive department by
making subordinate onicers Independent
of and able to defy their chief
"They have attempted to place the Presi-
dent under the power of bold, defiant and
treacherous Cabinet officer.
"They have robbed the Executive Of the
prerogative of pardon, rendered null and
void the acts of clemency granted to thous-
ands of persons under the provisions of the
Constitution, and committed gross usurpa-

CONVERSATIONAL.

The Fortieth Congress expired on Thurs
day by limitation. Both Houses were rig
idly economical in the closing hours. An
attempt TO pass the bill giving Mrs. Lin
coin five thousand dollar pension was d O.
feated. The currency distribution bill failed.
The Senate was willing to give the South
and East 800, 100000, but the House would
not take so little, and the bill failed.
The Forty-tirst Congress was organized
Immediately after the expiration of the old.
In the Senate the Vice President elect enter
ed the Chamber under escort, and was duly
inaugurated as President of the Senate.
Mr.. Colfax made brief address on assum-
ing the chair, in which he pledged himself
TO a faithful performance of the duties Of his
new position. Organization of the House
was attended by a scene Of disgraceful dis
order, in consequence of the turbulent ac-
ton of certain Democrtic members in con-
testing the decisions of the Clerk Of the
House. After the disturbance had been
partially subdued, the House proceeded to
ballot for a speaker, when Hon. James G.
Blaine of Maine, received 1856 votes, and
Michael c. Kerr, of Indiana g. Speaker
Blaine was duly installed and made an ap-
propriato and temperate speech. In the
appointment of committees i'm the Senate,
on Monday, the Vermont Senators woro
assigned the following positions:
Mr.. Edmunds, Chairman of the Com
mttee on Pensions, also a member Of the
Committees on judiciary and contingent
expenses, Mr., Morrill, is Chairman Of the
Committeoonpu public buildings grounds,
also member Of the Committee on finance
and education.
Both Houses have thus far been mostly
occupied with preliminary business.

A town meeting was held at the Court
House, in this village, on Tuesday, March
9th, to act upon the question Of assisting in
the Construction Of the West river railroad.
Able and interesting speeches were made
by IL. IL. Wheeler, S. NJ. Waite and b. d.
Harris, Esqrs. Some speeches were also
made ON the opposing side, whose brevity
was considered their only defect, as the
opinion prevailed that few more argu-
ments of the same sort would be sufficient
to carry the road through. Amer several
hours debating a vote was taken by divis-
ion of the house, which resulted in ll6 af-
firmative, lis negative. Believing that the
subject was not sufficiently considered, and
that growing feeling was manifested in
favor Of tho road, another meeting was
called for March 9th.

The suggestion of the name of Gen. p.
y. Washburn of Woodstock for the Gov
ornorship of Vermont during the approach
ing term, meets with hearty response
from the press of the State. Tho Burling-
ton Free Press says:
1--WE can assure General Washburn's
friends Oh the east side of the Mountain
that there will be a hearty response to the
proposal of Gen. Washburn for Governor,
when tho time comes. Few men have ev-
or been better known throughout the State,
by reputation and personal contact than he;
and we believe there is very general rec
ognvion of the distinguished services he
has Apdered to the State. Few probably,
realyNfully how fortunate IL was that Yer
mont had man Of Gen. Washburn's en-
ergy, promptness, decision, clear method
and executive ability, to put in just the
Aglace he filled 50 ably-to recruit and or
lanize the Green Mountain boys in the war
for the Union. We all know that every
quota was filed and with surplus to
1pare, when called for. We know that our
Mon were put in the field with great compar-
tive economy-Vermont furnishing as ma
ny men as New Hampshire, for instance,
and moro promptly, at some two millions
less expense. We all know that for prompt
support of the Government, Vermont thus
stood second TO no other State. How much
of this glory and good repute and effective
service was due to our Adjutant General,
we do not all know. General Washburns
labors in that office well nigh broke down
his health, and the people Of Vermont owe
him debt which they should be, and We
believe are, glad Of an opportunity to re-
pay. Civilians are glad to go for the man
to whose self-sacrihcing and patriotic Ia
| b1is was due so large a share OF the lustre
| gained by Vermont, for the promptness
| with which every call on her by the Gov
eminent was responded to. The soldiers
stand by tho man who saw that they were
backed up in the field who kept the ranks
of their regiments full and who has kept
so faithful and accurate a record of their
service. With all classes, too, there is a
cordial appreciation Of General Washburn
as a man both of ability and high integrity;
as one who will worthily fill the Govern
or's chair 1t is therefore no forestalling,
but simply an expression of public opin-
ion, to say that there is little doubt that
| General Washburn, if he lives till the nom
mating convention meets, will be the Re-
| publican candidate for Governor

PREPARE FOR SUGAR-M AKTNa.--Th ST.
Adams Messenger gives Vermont farmer.
the following good advice: AS the maple
sugar season is near ct hand il will be well
for farmers to commence their preparations,
and orr advice to them Il to tap every tree.
The late rise in prices Of West India sugar
is maintained; the trade are generally hold
ing to the opinion that whatever may be-
the result in the present struggle in cube,
it is likely TO continue long enough to ma
tcrially interfere with the operations Of la
Dor throughout the island. In the nicu-
time, holders Of sugar are rcapng har-
vest. \ sale of recent importation of raw
sugar was made in Boston recently, when
realized profit of upwards of $1,000 to the
owner. However uniavorahle this state Of
things may be to consumers, il is favorable
to Vermont farmers, and we expect to SEQ
them strain every nerve to take the utmost
advantage Of it by producing all That thcir
orchards will yield. Now is tho time go
procure additional implements, and then
they will be ready for the first and hc.t
rum
