WHO WILL BE GOVERNOR?

There being no election by the people the Con-
,sttution makes it the duty OF the Legislature to Sc
iect one from among the three highest candidates.
Hutchinson Mr. Scattering, although he has an unus
ual number of votes fails TO como within the clause
of the Constitution touching this subject, and there
fore cannot be Governor. And in answer 10 the
question: who shall be Governor we reply for one,
any body except Mortgage Smie-for he is so
much in the habit OF taking mortgages we'd rather
mot trust the Gubernatora chair in his hands Any
body but him--and that any body will of course be
one of the two others named. And from the vote
given them--Paine's being the highest--it will
doubtless appear proper 81 republican IN the eyes oil
the Legislature to elect him; awe perceive TOO that
tho Waterman goes for him. and will not think of
having any body else. A correspondent of the
same paper, from Addison County, is quite ardent
for Col. Paine he says:
"The bone and muscle, the health and strength
of the wing party in Vermont have honored him
with their suffrages. While many of the party
were reposng in apathy, under impending disas
ters In the midst of Presidential vetoes and threat
ened Senatorial prescription of northern freomen,
twenty thousand Wings, unterried and un-
daunted the polls and gave him their votes.
And he deserved them. I know him well. !
have known him long. A more straight forward,
Vermont. A truer wing breathes not the air of
New England. And under such circumstances
shall he be abandoned by Wing Legislature ?"

pRoMPT-THE GRoGAN AFFAIR.

CHARLES DAVIS, Esq. of DanviIle, District At
torney for the State OF Vermont, has been ordered
by the General Government to repair forthwith to
Alburgh to investigate the circumstances attending
-fhe abduction of Grogan. We glad to the
promptness and energy of the National Govern
ment in the matter, and doubt not it will be prose
cuted with all necessary despatch ill justice is SO
cured in the case. The business has fallen into
good hands so far as the District Attorney shall
have to do with il.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The Committee of the citizens Of ST. Adams ap-
pointed procure and forward evidence in relation
to the abduction Of Grogan to Washington and to
the Governor of Vermont, have received answers
from both sources.
Fletcher Webster, assistant Secretary OF State in
the absence of the Hon Dan Iel Webster, commu-
-nicates in behalf the President, that the papers
OF the Committee duly received, and that they
would "receive that prompt attention, which the
Importance of the case demanded"
Gov. Jenison writes that he had learnt the par
rticuars of Grogan's arrest previous to the re-
ception of the Committees papers, and that he had
made requisIon on the acting Governor of Can
ada for the Immediate delivery of Grogan. He
rightly charactorizes the affair, S'most atrocous

season for the last ten years have the ravages of
the yellow fever been terrible at present.
The Picnyune says that business is in the main
suspended and the principal occupation of those
who have been fortunate as to escape the dis
ease is minisering to the sick, tending the dying
and buryng tho dead. "New Orleans is literally
shrouded in mourning and sorrow" Still the NOR
tally is confined almost entirely 10 those who have
recently gone thi.her from the north; persons who
have become acclimated comparatively safe
