Memorial from the trustees of the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy asking Congress for aid and describing the removal of the Academy from Norwich, Vermont, to Middletown, Connecticut in 1825. ; To the Senate and House of Representatives of the UNITED STATES in Congress assembled. THE TRUSTEES OF THE AMERICAN LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, AND MILITARY ACADEMY, ESTABLISHED AT MIDDLETOWN, IN CONNECTICUT, RESPECTFULLY REPRESENT:— THAT this Institution which was established at Norwich, in Vermont, about five years since, under the su- perintendance of Capt. ALDEN PARTRIDGE, was removed to this City during the last year ; that sin eligible situa¬tion has been purchased, and buildings sufficient for the accommodation of about two hundred and fifty Cadets have been erected at an expense of about thirty thousand dollars ; that this sum has been raised by the voluntary con¬tributions of individuals in this and other towns in the vicinity, and by a grant from the town of Middletown, and that a Charter of Incorporation has been granted to the Institution. The distinguished reputation of the Superin- tendant, and the high approbation which his system of education and discipline have received ■ have placed under his care a much larger number of youths than the buildings are sufficient to accommodate. Applications for ad¬mission are frequent; and an increased number in the approaching spring are expected. These are from all parts of the United States. This fact induces the Memorialists to apply with confidence to the General Govern¬ment for aid to support and extend the usefulness of an Institution, and a system of instruction and discipline, which are justly considered national in their principles and objects ; not less than in the patronage they have re¬ceived. To the attainment of these objects, additional Buildings ; a Library; Apparatus for Chemical, Philoso¬phical and Astronomical observations and experiments ; and a competent fund, are indispensable. To supply these deficiencies, the Institution is destitute of resources* In addition to the direct and immediate benefits which the Institution, and those connected with it, would de¬rive from the supply of these wants, the Memorialists respectfully suggest the following considerations* The system of instruction and discipline, on which this Institution is founded, combines with mental cultivation, the full developement of the physical powers* While a knowledge of military science is acquired ; soundness of health and constitution is promoted and confirmed by frequent, regular and athletic exercise. The Cadet is ha¬bituated to an accurate knowledge, and strict performance of the rights and duties incident to his situation* These acquisitions, scarcely less important to the man of business, than to the soldier, must be considered peculiarly congenial to our republican government; founded on the intelligence and virtue, and sustained by the energy of character of the citizens ; and to be defended by their skill and bravery* The general diffusion of Military Science upon the principles adopted in this Institution would afford to the militia and their officers an opportunity to acquire with little expense of time or money a competent knowledge of their duty ; for which the greatest personal bravery is an inadequate substitute. A knowledge of Civil Engineering, a branch of science which is indispensable to the success of the great cause of Internal Improvements ; the importance of which is every day rising in public estimation ; constitutes a leading object of instruction in this Institution* With the aid which the Memorialists solicit, a considerable proportion of those who may be desirous to engage in the Military or Naval service of the United States, may receive at this Institution, a thorough Scientific, Mili* tary and Naval education. From this source an immense advantage, at a comparatively small expense, would re suit to the government, and the country ; to afford which, the military and naval Academies which are or maybe established and supported by the government, are and probably will continue to be inadequate* Impressed with the importance of extending to every part of the Republic, the benefits of this system of educa¬tion ; and fully sensible of the advantage which it cannot fail to derive from the patronage of Government; the Memorialists in making this application for aid to maintain and extend the usefulness of this first Institution of the kind established in the United States 5 anticipate with great satisfaction, the beneficial effects which will result from its success and prosperity to our common country. They therefore pray that the principles of this Institution, and the probable effects of this system of education upon the public welfare, may be investigated 5 and if found deserving of the patronage of the government of a free people ; that such aid may be afforded to the Institution as shall accomplish the objects proposed ; and in such manner as the wisdom of Congress may deem expedient. Dated at Middletown, January 9th, A. D. 1826 Signed by order and in behalf of the Trustees, GEORGE W. STANLEY, Secretary. STARR & NLLESR….PRINT.

Prospectus for a weekly newspaper, the Vermont Enquirer, with form for subscriptions; indicates that the Enquirer will be strictly a republican paper governed by the principles and doctrine of Thomas Jefferson. ; PROSPECTUS or A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER TO BE Published AT NORWICH, WINDSOR CO. VERMONT, ENTITLED THE VERMONT ENQUIRER. In presenting to the public this Prospectus we are not insensible of the multiplicity of Journals with which the country is filled—perhaps the people are already overtaxed for their support. But in justification of our undertaking we would remark, that many of the periodicals of the present day were ushered into existence in an hour of strife and bitterness and have been sustained by those means which reflect dishonor upon the Press and disgrace upon the country; of course, their career at best must be short and their memory soon forgotten. And as a well conducted press is the moral strength and defence of a free people, and viewing with deep concern the alarming current of cor- ruption which has been, and still is, poured forth from the press in various parts of the country, we consider it a duty we owe the present and rising generations, to endeavor to establish permanently a press which shall defend those invaluable rights and privileges, which were purchased by the blood of our fathers, and diffuse such information as shall be calculated to advance the interests of our com- mon country, and strengthen the bond of our Republican Union. The ENQUIRER will be strictly a Republican paper — it will give a decided support to the present administration of the general govern- ment, so far as that shall support and be governed by the doctrines and principles of the immortal JEFFERSON. It will oppose aristocracy and political disorganizing in whatever plausible shape it may appear, and expose as far as possible the machinations of the enemies of our Republican institu- tions, and endeavor by every probable means to secure the equal rights of man. The interests of the State of Vermont, particularly the system of Internal Improvement, shall command our best endeavors to support them.—To Literature, and especially that of our country, an ample por¬tion of our care shall be devoted, and to this department we shall always turn as to a recreation and relief from more irksome duties.—The popular branches of Science, and even those portions of pro¬fessional learning which may be rendered intelligible and interesting to general readers, shall not be neglected.—Mechanical Inventions and improvements, which are daily extending the physical powers of man and to which our own countrymen have contributed so much, we shall regard with special interest. COMMUNICATIONS tending to throw light upon science of every kind, will find a ready place. All that will displace error and help forward the cause of virtue; all that will expand the intellect; all that will serve to mend the heart, and propel the mind in its great search for knowledge, will be cheerfully admitted: and every endeavor will be made to form the paper on the basis of real utility. The publishers of the ENQUIRER, have no doubt that a Journal conforming to this plan, and con- ducted with a competent share of ability will receive sufficient encouragement to reward the labor and responsibility of the enterprize. In fidelity to their promises, they have 110 fear that they shall ever be found wanting. As to their capacity to perform what they have undertaken, they can only express their hope, that unremitting zeal and diligence will go far towards supplying any deficiency. The ENQUIRER will be issued on a sheet of the largest imperial size—the 1st No. to appear 0n the first of February, or sooner if sufficient patronage is pledged. JANUARY, 1830.
