His Republican, Majesty al Saratoga -
Yesterday was day OF commotion among

internal Improvements, which the measures

came pour assisier, as the French say, in the
reception. Dinner was hurried out of the
way at the principal hotels, in order to allow
the walters to unite with their friends from
other counties, in giving eclatt the entyee Of
HIS Republican Majesty. Long carts with
out springs were seen arriving from two to
four o'clock, and jaded plough horses made

were driven.

New York adopted the following preamble
and resolution;
Whereas the inhabiipg the farther ex-
tension Of slavery in these United States is
a subject Of deep concern to the people ofthis
state and whereas we consider slavery as
an evil much TO be deplored and that every
constitutional barrier should be interpose d

the constitution of the United States clearly
gives Congress the right TO require of new
states, not comprised within the original
boundaries OF The United States. the prohibit

"Resolred. (if the honorable Senate con-

Washington County cast 8 rotes more
than This calculation gires her.
There were several small towns, contain
ing in the whole, 81 voters. from which no
returns were made. and the vote OF those are
not included in this table.
REMARKS.
Owing TO the inequality in the advance Of
population IN several Of the Counties since
1880, it is obvious TO remark that this esti-
mate is TOO high as it regards some Of the
Counties, and TOO low as it regards others
But taken as whole, il is probable very
near The truth or at least not loo high. In
support of this position. consider the fact
that the population of Vermont in 1880, ex.
ceeded that Of New Hampshire by near
10000; aud yet, the latter state cast AT her
annual election in 1887, $4,000 vo,es--
Then again, Washington county cast at our
last election a few more votes than this es,i.
mate gives her voters. 1t is safe then, to
say that there were 10000 voters in the
State who neg lected 10 vote for Governor a.
the last election, and nearly 1000 Of them
resided in the two large counties Of Windsor
and Rutland. Now if the Wings of these
two counties will makea well directed effort
TO stir those dormant voters up to a sense OF
their duty, they can easily increase the Wing
majority at the coming election, from 1900
TO 1000 votes. Addison, too. by powerful
effort can increase her majority several hun
dred. Chiuenden, Franklin and Windham.
can increase the Wing majority of,he State,
(ifthey will put forth their slrength) at least
1000. Upon the whole, il is evident beyond
a reasonable doubt, that the Wings OF Yer.
mont, by active efforts in the good cause, can
increase their majority TO at least 5000, a,
the next election Shall this be done2 There
is liule doubt that the freemen of the State
will answer this question in the affirmative
on the first Tuesday Of September next

public address by Col. GENTRY, the Wing
candidate in the district lin Tennessee lately
represented by Mr. MAuRY;
"The name Wing (said Colonel G.) made
its appearance in Tennessee when poieer first

Small BiHs-The Democratic Review,
published under the immediate eye of Mr..
Van Buren,, and edited by his immediate
adherenls, is out strongly in favor Of sup
pressing small bills. Here is an extract.
Bank bills of small denomination
should be avoided. denounced and opposed,
with unninching firmness and severity by
every democrat; and the first act OF a
democratic Legislature, when it regains, as
it soon will, an ascendancy in the Empire
State, should be to restrict all issues OF bank
bills below the denomination Of 10 dollars
forthwith; advancing higher denominations
as rapidly as the dangerous nature Of the dis
ease will admit of more forcible remedies ~
