to mature his intrigues to bring over members in
favor of the Sub Treasury Bill. The Wings, dis.
pairing ofdoing any thing for the permanent relief
of the country, with a majority against them in
both Houses, are anxious that some fifty members
of the House whose States and Districts have
changed their political characters since thew were
elected, should 60 home and breathe the free air Of
their constituency. The Vanites fear this contact
between members of their party land the peorle-
and fear too not without reason. Should thew 90
home and consult the true sentiment of their con-
stituents and obey their wishes, the Administration
would be in ptful minority in the House at the

intimacy between the people and their Represen
tatves without another trial to curse the nation

FOR CONGRESS-FIFTH DISTRICT,
WILLIAM UPEHANH.

GREAT DEMooRATIo VINO MEETING The free
men of Vermont nobly responded to the call of
the State Committee, to meet in convention
on Wednesday last. Never in this State has there
been so great number in attendance upon any
similar OCCASION as was Witnessed was there
more determined zeal-more ardent patriotism dis.
played on any other occasion than this. Near
Iy every section of the state well represented
by good and true friends to their country. 1t is
'timated that about EIGHT HUNDRED freemen were
present. The convention met at the Free Church,
when it was found that it would not contain but IA
moiety of the number, and it adjourned to the large
brick Church, which was filed to OVERLOOKING.
The lower floor was completely filed, and more
than hundred delegates took seats in the galleries.
1t will be that farmer JENIsoN was nom
mated for reelection. The farmers should con-
slider this compliment to them, that the people
generally admire to honor, more than any other,
one of their number-one too, who is by profession,
practical armer;-one who has shown by his of
fetal acts that he has little of the spirit of Cncln-
natus in him--one who is at home in the Chair OF
State as well as in the field There was an almost
! unanimous desire that he should be the man, and
his nomination received by the convention
with applause The other nominations, afford e.

JAMES, is also "a practical farmer The people, we
doubt not, will rally in favor of the farmers ticket
at the next trial IN overwhelming numbers, and put
to flight the noisy partisans who seek to transfer

and secure for 1t an overwhelming majority. 1t is

STEAM Bears. Steam navigation, unless some
thing is quickly done to prevent repetition of the
shocking murders (yes, murders, for they deserve
bnt appelation rather than that of accident in most
cases) py steamboats,, will lose the confidence of
the public. The fatality attending steam naviga-
ton has been alarming for the last three years, and
gradually increasing. In the year 1886, upwards
Of three hundred and fifty lives were destroyed by
steamboat disasters; in 1887, sir or SeDen hundred
lost their lives in the manner, and for the
present year, but half expired, nearly one thousand
have perished on board of steamboats, The causes
of the loss OF so many lives various; some
were caused by faults in the machinery, others
by events that could not have been avoided, but
majority of them probably, by careless, incompe-
tant and drunken captains The public, however,
are not altogether unblameable in this matter. They
too apt, when travelling, to inquire for the fleet
est boats, and by this spirit of rivalry is excited
among captains and owners of boats, which often
results IN some terrible explosion. So long steam
navigaors perceive that the swiftest running boats
are the best pa:ronized and the first sought for,
long there will be explosions and deaths Public
opinion can do more to prevent the repetition of
these sad occurrences than all the sumptuary stat
utes the ingenuity Of man can devise. II those who
take passage on board of steam vessels would in
quire first for the safest rather than for the SoeSt
boats, we should be less panied by reading the mel
ancholy disasters, which almost daily fall un-

CHOW the Government pays specie for every
thing. '-Federat North Star, June 30.
Yes, and how does the Government pay specie
for every thing' Why, in the first place it is gath
ering it up by the Post Offices and Custom Houses,
aud then throwing into the market its ten million
of Treasury Shin Plasers, and selling them out to
the highest bidder at monstrous discount for spe-
Gle, which, when collected, goes into the hands of
the Office -holders-thus giving to the people one
currency and another to their servants;-or in 9TH
words, providing 'gold and silver for The Office
Holders and rags for the people" The effect of
all this is, the specie is collected by the Govern
ment, and kept from the banks, which prevents
them from resuming specie payments. Should
they generally resume, their bills would be pre-
scented and their specie drawn out for the use and
benefit of the Government-their discounts curtail-
ed to an extent that would ruin the little business
now done, and the people left without money of
any sort. If the assertion of the federal print at
Danville be true, il is clear mid day sun, that
the banks cannot pay specieL-a condition in which
Van Buren, intends to keep them.
But this 1t not all The Treasury Shin Plasters
of this "golden Administration are sold at ii dis
count that would ruin any business man of the
country, though he might be a Rothchild who
should do business upon "borrowed capital of this
kind Upon the last ten millions, the discount and
interest in the end will amount to about one mill,
ion Of dollars, which must come from the pockets
oftho people, by taxation, either dnect or Indirect
The Office Holders care not for this, so long as
they pocket the spoils-the people pay it. Yes,
the farmers and the mechanics pay it all at last
and the Vandal Van Buren, clan at Washington and
their drill officers abroad receive the advantage
ofthis Government speculation. How long will
the people consent to be cheated and humbugge
by such men? How long will they submit to be
taxed by men, who, in this underhand and decep-
tive manner wrest from them their hard earnings
destroy their currency and refuse to provide anoth-
er in which they will receive their saIaries--shut
up their factories, and leave the farmers wool upon
their hands, mere drug, or compel them to part
with it for a song2

The CRoPs IN THE WEST. We find letter in

Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana,
Ohio, and Pennsy vania, in which there is par
ticuar account of the crops in those states. Every
thing looks well and promises well to the husband
man. In New York, the grain crop will be larger
than ususa especially the crop of wheat. In Mich.
igan there will be larger crop of grain than ever
before. In Illinois the writer estimates the wheat
crop, from present appearances, will be two fold
larger than last year. The crop, in Missouri,
promises TO yield as prolifcally In Ken
lucky, Ohio and the northern part of Indiana, the
crops look equally well, and also in the western
part oil Virginia. Western Pennsylvania the writer
puts against the world, in good farms and abundant
crops. They were nearly ripe and haying had
commenced. lie closes his letter by saying that
