Van Burcn's clcction-therc was no pub

entirely free from all pccmiary obliga-

STATE CONVENTION.
May, 1870.

We publish to-day the committees call
for State Convention, at this place, OH
the 25lh juno. 1t is hardly necessary,
on the present occasion, TO argc general
attendance, for, from the present indlca-
tons, the asscmblagc will be the largest
of the kind ever convened among the
Green Mountains. From every section
of the state VIC have the same cheering
accounts. Oh mon and young men,
revolutionary patriots, and those who
fought under Harrison in last war, are
coming out by thousands, to bear tcsti-
mony for Old Tip. and vindicatc the
reputation Of Log Cabins. This is as it
should be. Vermont claims the proud
distinction of being the only State that
has "ncvcr bowed the knee to Baal," and
what people under the canopy ofhcavcn
have more occasion torcjoice with exceed
ing gladncss at the returning dawn that
now lights the political horizon.
The committee Of arrangements, APP
pointed by the citizens Of this place, arc
prosecuting the business of their appoint
mcnt with energy, and, we can as
sure Our friends abroad that no reasonable
cxcrlion will be spared to afford then
every accommodation the nature of TIT
case admits. Ii Burlington cannot en-
terrain the State, Chittcnden County can
and we are assured by our wlig friend
in the several towns that there is plent
Of bacon and bread for the cdmpaign.-
So we have no hesitation IN promising ;

A GLOOMY PrcTURE.-Thc Pittsburg
lntclligcnccr gives melancholy account
OF this once prosperous place. During
the past year between 1000 and 5000
persons have left the city, from their ina
blllty to obtain employment. Three
fourths of the manufacturing industry has
fallen of for want of sales. An extensive
Foundry which produced 100000 worth
of castingsa year, has entirely suspended,
and discharged all hands. From another
iron establishment, 100 workmen have
been discharged, and every establishment
in the city has been compelled by the
insane policy Of the administration to cur
tai! its operations to almost nothing.
In more prosperous times says the In
telligcnccr, out of about 200 drays and
carts, it was very difficult to get load Of
merchandise hauled without delay and
inconvenience, now three fourths of the
number are idle more than half their time
then every industrious man, woman and
child coming to our city could get en-
ployment Immediately and tleirpay every
Saturday night, now our mechanics arc
obliged to go to fishing, or to labor in tho
country for Is 81, % or at most 81 l.:
cents day.

1t is curious, that in making important
appointments tho administration always
selects men who have beon rejected by
the people. JOHN M. Niles, who has
just been beaten for Governor of Connec-
lieut. by an immense majority, is chosen
for Postmaster General; and Churchill
c. Cambrolcng, the man who declared
that the Sub-Trcasuary should be cstab-
lshcd Sin spite of all lamcntatlon" of the
people, after being beaten as candidate
forCongrcss, has been selected as Min
lister to Russia. The man whom the
people would not trust to represent a sim
gle city at home, the President has trust
ed to represent the whole nation at the
Court Of the largest Empire ofthc world.
Such is the practice of that party which
progresses so much respect for the peo-
pie. 1t is but specimen of the incon-
sistency which charactcrizes the whole
course of the administration.

.Surn are the opinions OF one Who
knows General Harrison intimately, ard
who opposes his election to the Presidon-
cy. His opposition is based on political
considerations alone. Dawson is Loco
Foco, in favor of the sub-treasury, and
an exclusive specie currency; of course
opposed to banks and credit systcm.-
General Harrison differs with him on
these points, and of course, cannot re-
ceive his support. Such opposition is
perfectly legitimate and honorable. We
desire our readers to mark the testimony
of this political opponent Of Gen. Har-
rison. lie says" Ihacc represented yoo
