S-The Rutland Herald charges the orig
inal sim of the recent election result the State
Convention, and boasts of the fuIfilment of its
own predictions, adverse to the regular ticket
AS TO the prophetic character of the Herald we
have but word to say. Should a man foreell
the destruction of his own house, and verify the
prediction by himself applying the TORCH it strikes
US he would hardly be canoni2ed as prophet. So
stands the Herald. That Col Paine has not
united the Wings is true but the responsibility
for that belongs not to him nor his friends. That
the nomination Of Col. Paine was unfortunate, is
certainly rendered clear by the result; but we
put il to the Herald, Tho made it unfortunate !:
What Wing paper denounced Col Paine, gave
currency false and I'M ust charges against the
Convention, and even after it had placed the Wing
ticket ut the head of its columns, never so much
MS once lifted its voice in defence of the Wing
candidate against the lies of the opposition pres
SEES? That was the course Of certain Wing
press; and stimulated by this course in tina. quar-
ter, by unjust prejudices against Col. Paine, and
by misrepresentation of the State Convention, an
organized opposition was raised which has drawn
off some 5000 votes, and induced some 5000
Wings to Withhold their votes. Thus has the
result been produced. We can't permit the Her
aid 10 shift the whole responsibility upon the con
venton Granting that the nominee OF the Con-
yenon -was Objectionable did all tho objections,
which have been rumped up and induslriously
circulated justify The opposition against The ticket
That is the real question II yea, then on the
convention rest all the responsibility if nuy-let
the Herald and the Wing opponents OF Col Paine
bear the burden of il. We say -nayi nay The
objections were for tue most part entirely unloun-
ded, and we have the verdict Of more than 10000
Wings, who have voted for Col. Paine, that the
objections raised were mol sufficient to Justify oppo-
silion to the regular ticket. We point to the result
as the strongest condemnation of the Herald In
defiance Of divisions and of open opposition from
Wing press, Col Paine has nearly succeeded
Had the third party withheld their votes, lie would
b. have been elected or had the Wings proper all
united in his support. and made the best of tho
nomination, as many to their credit did-he would
have been elected by at least 5000 minority over
oil opposition. Such are the only conclusions
which the returns will justly. We readily con
cede that the convention would have done better
by proposing a candidate who would disarm al
opposition but having been present and knowing
all the circumstances attending that convention
we feel bound to say that there was then, in the es
innate of most men, no prospect even of posi-
bihty of making such nomination. Let this re
suit be improved hereafter, by conventions
the Wing press--and by the people. We must
henceio'h and ersr, have UNANIMITY, heart,
UNANlMITY.

"BRITISH DEMOCRATS"

have never called the opposition, loeofocos.
extremely regret that such low phrases should
be employed by respectable men, and obtain the
countenance of any portion of the press Meth
er have ever called them democrats, for the rea,
son tina, both parties claim The appelation, and
neither knows what they mean by il. A friend
ofmine recently called them British democrpts.'
His appellaion think, deserved; they have de
nominated us British whigs," and on this score
OF courtesy, cannot complain il we reciprocate
the compliment. Their doctrines are certainly
more British than American, and their democra-
cy would need but slight notifications to make i
acceptable at the court of ST. James. ID.

The present is the last number of the .Nsto

Saturday next we shall issue the first number of
the New York WEEKLY TRIBUNE, much larger,
aud far as regards the extent, freshness aud
riely of its intelligence, better paper than we
have been able TO make The New Yorker. 1t will
be Political journal-openly, decidedly, ardentIy
Wing in its opinions and in calculations, but can
did, temperate in all things, and careful to be ac-
curale and just in all its statements. We hope TO
render the change an advantageous and accepta-
BILE one the great mass Of our readers; but there
will be some who will dislike the Political charac-
ter of the paper and possibly olhers-who can
only have been born in free country by mistake
who dislike all Politics whatever To these we
shall be happy to send that excellent and popular
mammoth literary sheet THE New WORLD, TO the
full amount for which they stand credited on our
books. This is the best alternative we can think
of but those who are still dissatisfied may have
their money refunded by applying for it, Can
they ask more ?

strike others, but TO me it appears, that these eff

of genius. VI all the numerous pieces that COM
pose the volume, though often on subjects most
trite, and written on bed Of hapleGs disease, We
ry few, If any, fall below mediocrity; while ma

ofthn Seasons" and "The DEATH Bed" would have
done no dscredt to Collins, Cowper or Hemans,
whose works hers, perhaps, most resemble. There
is vein ct deep md tender pathos running
through almost all her poems, which, with her
originality and touching simplicity Of description,

more an excellent moralist. With an exquisite
perception OF the beautiful in nature, her mind
seems even more deeply imbued with sense of

THE SECOND VETO DISSOLUTION OF
THE HARRISON CABINET.

Two expected events have at length occurred,
viz: the second Veto, and the resignation OF Gen.
Harrisons cabinet than which more able, up
right and worthy one never was formed. In an-
other column we give the Veto to our readers and
we choose to do it without note or comment, 9TH
er than call the attention of our readers TO the
fact, that only two members Of the House (both
from the ranks of the impraciicabe Wings, who
number votes,) defended the President. Fur
Their developments will be necessary, before just
judgment can be pronounced on this measure OF
the President; and we wait for these.

THE NEXT CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION
IN VERMONT-WIlAT CAN BE DONE /?


1t is probable Vermont will lose member Of
Congress under the new apportionmcnt, which
will he made next winter. This apporonment
will be made after tie state legislature adjourns
and the next election, in the usual course, must
be made before the succeeding legislature meets
What, then, shall be done There are five rem
edies the frs, is, to divide the stare into four
Congressional districts NJ the coming session but
this will hardly unless the question is put beyond
reasonable doubt, that Vermont can have but four
members in the next Congress. The second is, to
have an extra session. if any alteration is required
by the new apportonment. The third is, to en-
power the Governor, or some committee appoint
ed for the purpose, to divide the state into the
number OF districts required, according to the
population. The fourth is, to provide for the
next election by general ticket and the fifth, and
probably quite as unohjectionable as any, is, to
defer the election of members of the 2SIh Con-
gress to Sept. lS43, that time being two months
previous to tho first regular session Of the 2s.h
Congress.
