FAYETTEVILLE, June 26. 1886.

FAYETTEVILLE, June &c, 1886.
Dear Sr:-Thc Van Buren, men held
their County Convention at this place, on
Wednesday last. As the Chairmans name
is suppressed in the published account of
the proceedings, have considered it of
some importance that his name should be
known up in the centre of the State.
The Chairman was no other than Saml.
Clark, the Wing masonic candidate for It.
Governor in 81. There were number
of other Wing masons attending and act
ing in the Convention indeed, it appeared
to be complete renewal of the famous
Union of'33 so far MS this county is con-
cerned. They will be unable to carry over
any considerable portion of the Wings with
them, nor will they DO able longer to exer-
else an influence to keep them from voting
with us, so that it is very fortunate that
they have hoisted their true colors ut this
time. In Brattleboro' the wings are very
much excited in consequence of about a
halfdoZcn Wings from that town attending
the Van Buren, Convention, and among
them, Reyes, their representative in '35
and Chaplin, their representative in '3l-

think there will be more activity this
year than for two years past. may mis-
Judge in this respect, but siuce the jackson
Convention, the opposition, both Antimasons
and Wings, seem to be considerably stirred
up; they may relapse again into dead
calm, but hope not. 1t is evident that a
majority of those whig masons who effected
the coalition Of '33, and got up third ticket
in "a and 35, will be found in the Van Blu
rem pnrty this fall, and so far as they are
concerned, it will he renewal ofthe coali-
ton of '33, for the purpose of putting down
antimnsonry, and making head against
our party. How the antimasons who have
left their own party and gone over to the
Van Buren, party, for fear of the wings and
wing .nasons, will feel, when they fine
themselves Juggling away shoulder to shoul

Union-Masons of '33, and against their old
friends, the antimasons, cannot say but
should think they would feel rather queerly

strongly urged upon Congress the necessi-
~ of the measure; nor are we any the less
so because in 1888 he vetoed the bill pro-
viding for a distribution of the proceeds of
the Land sales, which had pissed both
houses of Congress.
IL. ReSotued, That the tame submission
of the Northern Van Buren, papers in view
of the infamous casting vote on ordering
to be engrossed the incendary publication
bill, shews the utter degradation and want
of Independence to which the party press
is reduced, aud fills our minds with the
: most gloomy apprehensions for the safety
Of our most cherished privileges; inducing
as it does the belief that no measure of the
head or leaders of the party, however fla
gltlous, or however it may strike death
blow at our sacred rights as citizens, can
fail to meet with a ready response from
those corrupt organs of party power.
II. ReSolUed That the passage Of the
Opposite Bill, for distribution of the sur
plus Revenue, through both houses of
Congress, against the declared hostility of
of the Van Buren, party, is signal triumph
to tho principles of the opposition, and If
iords n proof of the deep hold upon the
public mind which the subject had taken,
and that there is a point of endurance be-
yond which corrupt leaders cannot push
their dcludcd followers.
ID. RcSolUed That Martin Van Buren,, in
his letter to the Consul at Rome, to be laid
before the Pope will obviously tend to en-
courage the emigration to the United States
ofthe redundant population of Europe, an
evil already of alarming magnitude, and
which is deluging the country with pauper-
ism, crime aud corruption in its political
relations.
On motion of T.. p. Walton, Jr., Jacob
Blanchard, Lcandcr lIutchens, Alanson
Stevens Mordicai Hale and Charles Rob-
erts were appointed District Committee
of Correspondence, with authority to ap-
point town com miltees.
On motion, G. l.. Knapp, G. c. Cahoon
and Charles Davis,wcrc appointed district
committee.
The meeting was spiritedly addressed
on the passage of the resolutions, by Messrs
Knapp, Davis, Cnhoon, and others.
On motion of Mr. Davis,
Resolved, That the proceedings of'this
meeting be published in the State Journal
W. Watchman and North Star.
The President on leaving the chair, ad
dressed the meeting at considerable length
stating his views of the general course
and policy of the administration party o
the General Government relative to the
proposition for the distribution of the Sur
plus Revenue among the States, the bill
prohibiting the circulation of inccndiary
papers through the mail, and on othe
topics of a general and political character
after which the Convention adjourned
without day.

with the exception () that he had been with
the Antimasons.
Mr. Bulkclcy Of Duxbury asked, has it
come TO this, that the Jackson party has
sunk SO low that we are afraid of exap,ina-
ton? lie for one wished to know who no
was to vote for.
Loud cries for the question again.
A member succeeded in saying what
others had intmated, that an alteration"
had taken place in the committee, and he
was panied to see it renewed.
Mr. Linsley begged TO be heard for one
moment. He would only say he hoped the
motion would not prevail. 1t would be
FATAL TO THE ELECTION!
Several simultaneously rose to speak,
but the uproar was an overmatch for them
and they yielded. The motion was then
put and lost. BY this time large portion
Of the delegates, apparently Disguised with
the exhibition, had left the house.
The resolutions were now read. OF
their character it is unnecessary to speak,
farther than to remark, that they contained
nothing more nor less than repetition of
the standard professions Of the party. OF
course, the President, his own chosen sue
ccssor, and the immaculate Richard NJ.
Johnson came in for their full share Of
gorif cation. Nor must VIC omit to add,
that one amazing strong antimasonic resolve
was passed without dessenter. And thus
ended the doings of this numerous and
noisy convention, got up with unprecedcn-
ted effort, for no other purpose than to
afford the shadowy preteXt for a vain boast
of the strength of Van Burcnsm among
the people of Vermont We only regret
that the whole body of the hard handed
and honest hearted cultivators of the soil
could not have been present to witness the
enactment of the splendid and novel farce,
Of which We have now given hasty, but
faithful account.

UNANIMOUS DENOMINATION OF
MIR JAMES.

We place before our readers the official
account of the doings Of the District Con
vcntion, held last week. SO little doubt was
entertained in this quarter, of the renomi-
nation Of MIR JAMES for the office which he
so worthily fills, that but small number
of his friends in Washington county took
the trouble of riding to Danvillc to express
their preference, warm as it was. Rcposing
in the discrimination and liberality of the
true hearted friends of the country at the
North, our brethren hero were willing to
risk the issue in their hands. We are now
sure that this confidence was not misplaced !;
and the spirit of harmonious and animated
zeal which prevailed at the meeting fur
nishes firm ground to hope that, with proper
diligence and activity, the canvass at the
polls will be not less gratifying.

PAINFUL OCCURRENCE.

While n collection of the citizens of
Berlin were engaged in raising the frame
of the new Westinghouse, erecting by our
Methodist brethren in that town, part of
the tmbers suddenly fell, precipitatlng some
twelve or fifteen persons with tinbers all
about them, to the ground. 1t is most
remarkable Instance of Providcntial care,
that 10 one among the large number on and
about the frame, were killed. Among the
wounded, are, George Hubbard (badly,)
Rev. Mr. Kelton, J. Vaughn, +. Hillery, Is.
Baxter, DIR o. Smith, Rowland Taylor and
William Ellis. Mr. IIubbard's recovery is
now considered probable. The rest are
doing well. DR. Smith, though among the
wounded, summoned strength enough to
administer prompt medical relief to his suf-
fcring neighhors.

FRANKLIN co. CONVENTION.

1t won Id seem from the course taken by
certain juggling politicians, who have here.
tofore attempted to dictate and govern this
county, that the contest for Senators, has
assumed an aspect distinct from any po-
litical question. The removal of the coun-
ty buildings is the issue, made by the late
Convention in Fairfield, tho attempted to
be covered by political name. We have
therefore, thought proper to invite the Free
men of the County, who are in favor of u
removal of the Shire to a suitable and
proper place, to meet in Convention al
Bakersfield Town House on the 1lth day
of July next, at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon,
for the purpose of nominating three per-
sons tor Senators and to adopt such meus-
Ires as will facilitate the object.
