LETTER FROM JUDGE WILLIAMS TO THE
EREEMEN OLE THE ST AIE OIL NER AIQNr

LETTER FROM JUDGE WILLIAMS TO THE
FREEMEN OF THE STATE OF VERMONT
The Office of Chief Magistrate of this State is of
that dignity and high importance, that it should nerer
De solicited by any one, nor should il be declined
without great and weghty nsiderations. Ii is en-
phatcaIly an office for the people, to be bestowed by
them on that individual, who they deem worthy Of
'heH confidence and esteem, and TO which no one
can with proprlety, be said TO have any claims.
There may however be reasons which should induce
an individual when his name is brought tefore the
public, to express his own wishes and views with re.
gard TO beng candidate for that high station
Percevlng that | have been named, through the
partalty OF my friend, for that Office, l think it
proper, on due consideration and reflection 10 decline
beng candidate.
Having for years past received the unanimous
vote OF the repre- entaves Of the people, of both po-
iuca parties, for the place ] now hold, it would be
with great rcu'tance / could consent to be held w
as candidate for any Office against their declared
wishes expressed in their convention. While | feel
very grateful to my friends who have named me as
candidate for the office of Chief Magistrate of this
state, ana however strongly, under other circum-
wishes, yet considerations Of public well as per-
sona' nature require that, under the present circum-
stances, should decline.
1t is due to highly respectable class of my fellow
citizens, who understand have put me in nomna-
ton, TO say, that II is not from any disrust of the
principles for which they are coneEding, or any
doubt but that they will ultimately prevail, that
without the usual formali'ies of asking my opinion on
the subjects for which they are contendng, and S
such it will always be remembered with gratitude
And on those subjects, IN the language of distn.
gulshcd English Judge, for whose decisions and obi.
mons entertain most profound respect, have no
he-tation 10 say that standing upon the high ground
OF natural rights and dsdaning to bend to the lower
doctrine o. expedency, slavery is inconsistent with
the genius of the "inerican Constitution, "ant that
human beings cannot he the beet matter of proper.
~" And slavery is recognised any where BY law
II is an anti-chrl- tan law and one which violates
the rights Of nature"

From the Buffalo Commercial,

The HARvEsr.-ln the greater part of the country
the wheat harvest is ended, and we have now some
precise data for forming an opinion as TO the product
From q careful examination OF oil the statements
which have come to hand, we think there can be nc
doubt that, assuming the product of 1899 as the
Standard the crop of this year will be found less than
an average one In this state ii will fall off at eas
one third. In Ohio, Also there will be deficiency
compared with 1889 though not SO great as in this
state. Michigan and Northern Indiana will proba.
bly, show an excess. The Middle and Southern States
will about hold their own. Take the whole country
an we doubt whether there is now on hand any
great surplus of bread stufls An immense quantity
of wheat and flour has been brought into this port
this season, but comparatively very small amount
has reached New York city. 1t has been stopped
in trdnstu and consumed.
The corn crop-onc Of great value and importance,
controlling in no nconsiderable degree the market
price of other products-promises well. On this
point all parties agree Potatoes, there is no end OF
them. Late oats have done well, and of all other
crops, excepting grass which is decidedly short it
may be said they are fair.
The sum of the whole may be thus stated. The
wheat crop shows slight falling off, as compared
with 1899 and lsi0 and the stock of bread stuff on
hand is not large.-Of corn and potatoes there now
promises to be an excess. Other crops about me-
dunn
From these data each man must draw his own
conclusions

PATRIOT WAR REVIVED.

Recent intelligence from the West appears
rather squally but what will be the end of it
we cannot say. The NY. Commercial Ad-
vertser says that the Conmissary General
has returned TO that city from a rapid visit to
Auburn, to which place he was summoned on
Sunday morning Of last week to look after the
interests of his departmental being stated
that piece of ordnance belonging to the state
had been stolen from the arsenal at that place,
by the so-called Canadian patriots. General
Chandler states that the six FOUNDER belong
ing to the State, and for the public service Of
Auburn, was stolen from the clubhouse one
night, week before last, as was also another
piece of ordnance belonging to volunteer
company of artillery, kept M another part Of
the town. The track of the gun-carrlage of
the last piece mentioned was traced about eight
miles, where it was entirely lost. No nior-
nation could be obtained of either piece. An
old man, residing near the arsenal where the
gun belonging to the state was kept, states
that hearing noise in the night he arose and
on looking out, it being bright moonlight, he
saw eight or ten men forcing the doors of the
arsenal, and also saw them take away the gun
General Chandler has issued proclamation
offering reward of twenty-five dollars fol
the gun, and like sum for the arrest OF the
authors of the msdemeanor. Reports had
also reached him at Auburn, that several ether
pieces of ordnance farther West, partcu.
iarly at Buffalo, had been stolen at the same
time. But the intelligence was considered
doubtful.
The Auburn Journal states that two more
pieces of ordnance are missing--one of them
belonging to an artillery company in the town
of Cato, and the other in the town OF Sciplo
The former was traced to the canal, but nc
farther. The Journal adds -
