brother sends Us an offer for four copies of the
Telegraph. Now we can assure him that on
such terms our press "could never give anoth-

er impression. With all kindness oi leeung
we once more say that it is useless to make
any offer for a copy of the Telegraph, that
does not come up to the published terms.
One thimble-full of impartial, upTight,
straight forward principle weighs more, with
us than a hogshead of gold, But the gold is
not there, after alL The patronage that
makes constant drafts opon our private purse
is a sinking patronage a patronage that the
more we have of it the worse we are off.
The present terms of the Telegraph are the
lowest that it can possibly be afforded for.
These terms, in the main part, were gradu
ated when a dollar would buy double the
amount of almost any article of living that
it will now. Especially then will our farm
ing brethren, who are benefitted by such a
state of things in proportion as we are de
pressed, ask us to do what would inevita
bly sink the establishment the next hour ?
We appeal, Tor once, to their magnanimity.
We have no begging to do in the case. If
the Telegraph is worth support, let it be sup
ported if not. let it 'go down, and we will
the subject of temperance, say, amen. and,go about euch other business
as the Lord shall appoint, lne neia is
wide. The harvest is. abundant. The im
plements are various.
These things axe thrown oat, not because
there is any thing particularly alarming in
the present aspeet of the Telegraph's affairs,
but to make ourselves understood beyond the
of their own townsmen stopped the Tele-
graph because it contains so little of anti
slavery ? It was indeed so They will
at Jeast discover that others see . with dif
ferent eyes and feel with different nerves
from theirs, and that if an editor would
go round inquiring what will please
this reader and what will displease that,
he will soon find his hands full. We
can, therefore, only promise to exercise
the best of our judgment and con
science in apportioning out such truth
as comes to hand, ready always to be ad-
rvised by the friends of any enterprise in
which we engage.
Whoever may think that the volume of

Faithful Preaching. It is not on

fidelity to souls and to their Lord and Mas
ter, but it is the bounden duty of the church
individually and collectively to sustain the
ministry in such preaching. We are led
to this remark from having heard this lat
ter duty very plainly and faithfully en
forced, recently, by a beloved, devoted and
faithful brother. We since learn that he
had lately been admonishsd by a brother
in the church under his pastoral care, for

the first day of January 1837, reserving the
sum of fire millions of dollars, shall be de
posited with the several states, (on condi
tion they pass the necessary laws,) in pro
portion to their respective representations
in the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States.
t further appears, by a report from the
Treasury Department, in conformity with a
resolution of the Senate passed July 1st
1836, that thevfco1e amount of fund3 in the
Treasury of the Uoited States on the 1st
day of August last were $40,230,576 18
By a subsequent report of
the Secretary, dated Sept.
1st, tht amount of money in
the treasury subject to draft
on the 31st Aug. 1836 was $37,817,996 29
And "the amount standing to
the credit of disbursing of
ficer:,." 4.847.926 55
Making an aggregate of $42,665,922 94
The above shows an in
crease of funds in the treasu
ry during the month of Au
gust of $2,435,346 75
At the same ratio, the in
crease for the next 3 months
to the 1st Jan. 1837 would
amount to $7,306,040 23
Making the funds in the
treasury on the 1st of Janua
ry 1837, amount to $49,971,96322
w m
But making every reasonable allowance
we will estimate the increase of ths 'above
three months at only fire millions, the sum
to be reserved in tne treasury) and: it will
leave for distribution on the 1st of next Jan.
the amount before stated in the treasury on
the 31st of August.
Now the number of Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress ironrihe twenty-six
States, inclu ding Michigan and Arkansas,
amounts to 293, each of which, on a division
oftha above $42,665,922 94 of the- surplus
revenue ia pursuance of the act of Congress
would he entitled to $145,61748. The
State of Vermont having seven delegates
in Congress wouia be entitled o her propor-
uon, amounting to 51,019,322 36. Although
Deuevea tne anove estimate will not es
sentially vary from the truth, yet, for my
present purpose, it is not necessary to be
exact as to numberj,x
The important question then, is, a ques
tion too, in which the people or this State
t 1 a....
eet a aeep and abiding interest not ex
ceeded by any which has arisen for legis-
atire action since the adoption of our con
stitution j a question on which the agents
of the people assembled at Montpelier will
hortly be called to act and or that action
will be held to a strict accountability by their
constituents. I say the question is, what
disposition shall Vermont make of her
share ofthe surplus revenue ?
In my next, I will state some ofthe plans
heretofore suggested ,and the object to which,
in the estimation of many, the surplus money
should be appropriated. I am. vouri. tc

From the letters of the churches, it appear

Only about 130 had been baptised during
the year. The churches most highly fa

The session 'was rendered highly inter-

seemed to pervade the Association. Over
two hundred dollars were subscribed for

THE REIGTf OP TERROR
Was introduced into this metropolis, a few
weeks since, after the most formal and dt
liberate preparation on th part of its agents.
It was ' intended to endue it with iron
strength and endless duration. It was to
constitute an impregnable outpost as long
as Ohio was to be regarded .as a frontier of
slavery, for the protection of that bloody
system, from every assault, which argument,
and reason, and common sense, and truth
and religion could make upon it. Its estab
lishment in this city had been "cidered" by
the commercial and slaveholding aristocracy
of the souih, of their kindred commercial
aristocracy of Cincinnati; and with mercan
tile fidelity, every, preparation was set on
foot to comply with the order.
First of alh the daily labors of the slavery
paxtrtf the public press were' put - in requisi
tion. . . T he largest, nomenclature of abusivs
epithets was ransacked, for . language in
which to stigmatize 4he itdvocaits of cos-
