THE ELECTION.

Vermont yet stands foremos, in the ranks of
the Wings. She has nobly sustained her
character for integrity and patriotism. She
has proved too, that in the hour of danger her
sons are not backward in coming forth from
her mountains, in all Their native strength, for
the defence of her rights, and the liberties of
the country. Her enemies arc discounted;
and with all their boasting they are dsheart-
ened; all their efforts put forth with zeal
and energy worthy better cause, to bring the
Green Mountains under the yoke, have rocoil
ed with vengeance upon their own heads.
They are COMPOUNDED, for not one of all their
contrivances to deceive and misload the hon.
est people of Vermont but has resulted in
complete failure. They look sad and evident
ly feel that they have been rebuked by thc
people.
We give the opinion of Vermont upon the
ail-important question. whether tho will Of the
president shall be treated as paramount to the
constitution, as gathered from tho ballot.box.

which have been so long resisted by the party

and assailed the character of every public man
who has not favored his ambitious pretentions.
Awaiting himself of the corruption OF the Bank
of the United States, and OF the disasters which
have befallen the country in consequence
OF the paper money system, he now makes
piteous appeals 10 the people, concealing the
real cause of their pocuniary difficulties, and
instead of exhorting them to unite in main
tanning the inviolability of contracts and re-
forming the currency, he tells them TO make
another Bank of fifty millions.
This certainly is not the man to come here
and lecture Tennessee on morals or politics,
and 10 pull down or to build up the reputation
of her citizens.

are united in the present war against the prin-
ciples of the republican party. ! leave an
impartial public to determine what reliance
ought to be placed on the statement of DEM

once that it is very large and so large that 10.

even OF ultimate success We are indeed

1t not DO forgotten that at the election in 1889,

let The Wings be at their posts, and let them
lay upon their arms, as in the very face of a
subtle and yigilant enemy-let no sentinel
sleep at his post-let every assailable point be
carefully guarded, for, in word, vigilance,
untlring vigilance, will alone insure safety.

From the Charleston Mcrcury.
GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW.

Several of the leading organs of The
Wing party in New York have recently
come out strongly in favor Of a general
Bankrupt Law 10 be enacted by Congress.
Orherpresses Of the party here and there
have seconded the move, with an apparent
disposition to appropriate the credit Of the
suggestion To The party. They are well
cumc TO it. We are sorry indeed thar they
have not the entire merit Of ii 10 themselves.
1t will be remembered that the proprielv
of such law was suggested by lIrc Presi-
dent in his Message to the memorable
extra session of 1887. Il was received
with marked dislike by The Wing party
generally, and by their great leader, Mr..
Clay, with vehement Indignation. II for
med one Oft most important links in that
chain d desperate measures hy which he
said the Administrators designed to over
throw The banks abolish paper money,
destroy commerce, raise the deuce, and
SOW The whole country with salt that it
might grow no more grass or bull calves
forever. We refer to his speech with The
enormous big title page, lUoking like n
Gourd or toad slooi-a stem with most
extensive cap on The top.
Perhaps Gen. Harrison thinks differently,
and Mr.. Clay being now put out to grass,
it matters not what he thought when he
was ON the course. But this only by the
way. Several journals with whom we
like 10 agree when we can have mani
tested their hearty concurrence with the
roposition-among Others the N. Y.
Evening Post and our nexi door neighbOr,
the Southern Patrior. We are opposed
TO such law on Stale Rights principles;
not hat it would he directly an invasion
of State Righs-inr the Constitution in so
many words confers upon Congress the
right 10 pass a general bankrupt law-hul
thai it would he manifest invasion of
province hitherto submitted TO Stale Ieeis.
Iaron, and a dangerous increase of power
hitherto exercised by the Federal Govern
ment.
There arc several considerations that
should le well weighed before coming to
any conclusion on a mere proposed title of
a law which as yet has no defiui,ion. ].
The law iiself-il must define bankruptcy,
the persons snhj to 1.-The measure of
punishment for all frauds connected with
it, sc. 2. The entire Administration of
The law must be entrusted TO the Federal
authorities.
For the definition ofbankruptcy. it must
in the main be taken from The Englis law,
which is the best rule ever established on
the subject, and there can be no shadow

THE NEXT GOVERNOR,

We recommend to our readers careful
perusa of all the articles on this subject, which
appear i'll to-days paper. Three of them are
written, by gentlemen of great ability and dis
tiuctiun, and of decided influence in this Sec
ton of the State. We hope that our readers
will not be deferred by its length, from reading
the very able communication, signed THE
Notification Party" since it contains clear,
candid and full explanation Of the claims of
Col. Richardson, to the office Of Governor.
By particularly recommending this article to
the attention of our readers, we do not design
instituling comparison between it and the
others. They are all ably ae'ittcn. And we
recommend the one alluded to, simply because
it contains thorough discussion of The subject.
We feel convinced that no one, who is open to
convclion-who will go for measures and not
for me,l-who will act from principle and not
from prejudice. can, after careful perusal Of
that article, doubt, we will not say the-propri-
ETY.: but the necessity Of the Sub Treasury party
supporting COL Richardson. The necessity
of placing Sub-Trcasury Union man in the
Gubernaorial Chair, and thus uniting, the
Sub-Treasury party in our State, and enabling
ourselves to sustain that great champion Of our
principles, John c. Calhoun, and through
him, The measures which he advocates, and Of
which onr State approves, is made so manifest
=. a. IL ,l, =,
say more, than TO recommend TO our readers, a
careful perusal oft.
Though we were fully convinced that the
opinions, of tho people Of g Edgcfed." and the
up Country" were not expressed by those,
who assumed to speak for them, we thought it
more becoming, 10 let them answer for them
selves. THEY HAVE ANSWERED! And
W. are gratiied 10 find, that in advocating the
claims of Col. Richardson, we are but express
ing the sentiments, o. this entire section of the
State. Those who could say nothing else, d
gainst the nomination of Col. r., by the Mer-
curry, have accused its honest and able editor
of attempting to forcs all public opinion. We
desired not 10 render ourselves obnoxious to
that charge, and therefore, though approving
of the nomination, we simply expressed our
opinion, and declined further discussion. The
number and character Of the communications,
however, which we, to-day publish, relieves us
from all feeling of deIicacy OH this subject.
But indeed, il h y did not, we would be I'LL
willing, longer, to permit mere notions of pro-
priety, to interfere with the serious discharge
Of our duty.
