we cannot tell what will be the resul, ~

tell what will necessarily como before

APPOINTMENT OF SENATOR

In the exercise Of duty imposed upon him,
tho Governor has appointed the Hon. SAMUEL
G. CRAFTS, to supply Judge prentiss' place in
the U. s. SENATE, until the meeting of the legsla-
turc on the second Thursday of October, when a
Senator is to be elected for the unexpired term,
and also the succeeding six years. Few, if any
nen in Vermont, have had more experience in
public affairs than Mr.. Crafts: as councillor for
several yoars-ns member of Congress four terms
and rs Governor of the state four years, he has
been personally aud favorably known 10 all of our
public men, and has possessed the confidence and
esteem of the people of the state 10 an eminent
degree. He will find in Congress few veteran
statesmen, who were with him there twenty years
ago and most of them, too, are Wings, like Ad-
ans Of Mass, aud Morrow Of Ohio, and Pope of
Ky who will rejoice to greet him as one who
will go heartily with them in supporting the great
interests Of the country.
It is understood that this appointment was ten
dered TO Hon WIN. JARVIS of Weuthersfeld. His
vast fund of knowledge, particularly on topics
connected with the Tariff,-his deep interest in,
and ardent attachment TO- the Protective system,
and whal his well known character as a fear
less and powerful advocate in Whatever cause he
becomes enlisted all pointed him out as one en-
lnently fitted 10 defend the interests of Vermont,
nj this peculiar crisis in the Senate. He declined,
however, on the ground that his health was such
rs TO render it doubtful whether lie could con-
stantly and faithfully serve the state. This mo-
tive foi declining confers upon Mr.. Jarvis great
honor The refusal of high places, for The public
goOd we apprehend is u rure virtue in these days
In thus discharging this delicate trust, Govern
or Paine we doubt MOI has given general saiisfac-
ton. He has at any rate afforded ample proof of
his disposition TO commit the interests Of the state
to those who nie known to be practically ncquain-
ted with the wants, and identified directly and
personally with the leading interests, of the PEG.
pie. Mr. Crafts and Mr. jarvis nre both farmers
and both are eninen,Iy worthy to be the represen-
| tatives Of an agricultural state We mean not to
be understood 10 intimate that there are not 9th.
crs, of other pursuits, equally worthy of the sta
ton OF Senator; or that any disqualified be-
cause they are not farmers. 1t is not the farmer,
or professional man, or mechanic, or merchant or
manufacturer, who will make the hest statesman !;
it is he, whatever may be his calling, who bes,
understands the interests aud rights of ALL and The
wisost modes Of promoting the common welfare
We have alluded 10 the fact that the Governor,
who is manufacturer, has appointed farmer TO
this high station only because certain presses have
of late been very INDUSTRIOUS for some reason or
other-inlelligent men can have little difficulty in
surmisng what it is-n sowing jealousy between
the farmers and manufacturers On this account,
we deem the fact worthy OF particular notice.

lures.

zens TO the exclusion 1.-THE producers of the raw
material.

the wool-growng business-lhal wool is the sta
pie OF our State from which we derive the greut-
est wealth, and employ in its growth The greatest
amount OF capital that without protection from
general Tariff operating nike upon The raw and

ed alike on all woods, course or fine, in proportion
to It's value, thereby preventing the frauds which
have been pracliced upon our Government by The

BY the arrival of the Britannia at Boston, news
is received from London TO The 5th April being
three days later than by the Great Western. There
is nothing of interest. save the Particular of the
defeat Of the British at Cabul (lndia) They were
entirely cut up, abou, 5000 men being lost, and
number of the officers with their ladies are pris-

Wholesale massacre; but we have no pity for the
British Government. In pursuance of the policy
which Great Britain has ever pursued in India,
she set the Cabul people q, war among themselves,
of course taking sides herself with one faction,
and helping il to conquer-in consideration Of
which aid the native conqueror was to become
de fdcto but an instrument TO increase British
wealth and power She has been cheated and
punished severely in this instance, though in the
end she will be reVenged. Ten thousand fresh
troops have been ordered TO Cebul,
