"THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS"

Thus is the Mountain State characterized
from one end of the country to the other; and
II any thing could add to the just pride with
which we have contemplated her position, po-
liiicaly, for the last twelve years, it is the u
niversal note of graduation with which the re-
snt Of the late election has been received
throughout the Union. The other day, while
Gen. Harrison was addressing seventy five
thousand people at Dayton Ohio, says the Lou
isvillc Journal, 'the mail arrived with letter
for leading Wing in the crowd, giving the
particulars OF the glorious victory in Vermont.
Old Tip paused in the midst OF his oloqucnce,
and the letter was read in loud tone from one
of the speakers stands. Mighty beyond de-
scripiion was the shout that followed, when
seventy-fiye or eighty thousand voices mingled
IN one long startling thunder peal for "the
star that never sets" The palm is conceded
to US, and we are thus he Wing State.
Bot there is another consideration which
ought to stimulate us to renewed exertion, even
under these circumstances. 1t is not perhaps
generally understood that the Wing Central
Committee of the Union, are preparing su-
perb national Flag, which is to be presented
in behalf of the Wings of the Union, to the
Stale which gives the largest wing majority
in the coming election, taking into considera-
ton her numerical strength. Vermont occu-
pies this position now, and can maintain it
in November, if we do our duty. The distinc-
ton will be an enviable one. 1t is one to
which we are entitled, and which would be
most cheerfully conceded TO us by the whole
country. Where might such banner be plant
cd with more propriety than upon the green
hills of Vermont Let US then buckle on the
armor-put forth our whole energies and take
the prize. What sayl-shall we do ii, Pass
