louisiana ELECTION.

With the absence of many of the wings during
the warm season, the Texas question to contend
against and the fact that in one half the State no
determined effort was to be made by the Wings,
we expected to lose Louisiana tho LIST inst. But
she is Wing. New Orleans papers Of the 9th say
that both branches Of the Legislature will be
Wing, and that two OF the four members Of Con.
gross are also wing. Last year the Locos carried
every district, and they have carried two districts
this year without opposition. In one Of the other
districts Mr.. b. G.. ThbodeuuX (Whie) is elected
by Col majority-last year the Locoloco candidate
succeeded by 40 majority Wing gain Goo! We
have not yet seen the votes from the other districts
In our next we shall be able to give full returns -
The vote of the State in November is sure for MIR.
Clay. "Dcspite of every obstacle" says the New
Orleans Bee, "am I'eraS to boot, we have achieved
great and glorious victory"

Hon. TnADDEUs STEVENS In the name of at
least two thousand Wings of the 4th district we
return hearty thanks to the editor of the Vermont
Patriot for his article last week in reference to
Thaddeus Stevens. Such an limitation to speak in
his own behalf Mr. S. could not possibly refuse
and he did speak, and so speak in behalf of the
good Wing cause that his effort on that occasion
will tell, not only now, but for years to come 1t
was a speech from man of whom old Caledonia
is justly proud the essence of it will be repeated
in every house that county; it will be told by the
fathers to their children, and be remembered for
years to come. Would that every locofoco in the
district could have heard linn in reference to Polk
and Slavery and the Tariff. The leaders of that
party would have wished to sink into the earth
rather than to have heard their miserable tergver-
saton and hypocrisy exposed to the people as Mr.
Stevens exposed them. We repeat it--thanks, a
thousand thanks, to the Vermont Patriot.

THE VERMONT CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.

THE VERMONT CENTRAL RAIL ROAD.
The survey, from Burlington to Connecticut
River, via Mortified, has been completed, and the
route proves to be in every respect favorable. The
distance is 1902. miles 20 miles of it is nearly lev
cl, nowhere exceeding grade of 20 feet 81 miles
gives grade from 40 to so feet being the highest;
and the remainder of the distance no where gives
grade exceeding 80 feet to the mile In word,
this route is feasible the grade extraordinarily ia
vorable for mountainous region, and the facilities
for constructing the road exceedingly good Let
our southern neighbors now produce their survey /;
we arc ready for them.
The public, who appointed the undersigned
committee to cause q survey to be made for the
Central Rail Road, may desire to know the result.
The survey has been made from the mouth of
White River to Lake Champlain on the Mortified
route The Engineers have not made up anything
like report but from their minutes it is found that
the entire distance from Lake Champlain to the
mouth Of White River is lob miles The eleva-
ton at Roxbury is 0l2 feet above high water at
Lake Champain, So miles distant, and 6s5 feet
above Connecticut River, distant AGA miles.
In running from Lake Champlan TO the Onion
River, 1t was found TO require grade of from 40
to % feet TO mile for some four miles The grade
on Onion River to Bolton Falls is most of the way
'S'S' "nu pdCe IecJ 10 Ullic.
Bolton Falls will be assembled with 40 feet
grade easily and that not more than one and half
mile. From thence to Middesex is nearly level,
being only IS feet in miles, and at Middlesex for
mile will be grade of 40 feet. From thence
to Montpelier or the mouth of Dog River, 402
miles from the Like, is nearly level Up Dog riv-
er is an easy grade of miles, and thence to Gov.
Pane's Factory, in Northheld is 40 feet to a mile
for miles. From thence to the summit is Il dis
lance of q miles, three of which will be grade
OF from 30 to 30 feet to a mile and miles will
not exceed so feet to a mile, which is the highest
grade on the route.
From the summit to Connecticut River is found
to be most easy route for a rail road, in no place
on White River exceeding so feet to a mile.
There are no heavy cuts on the whole route; al
the summit there is cut, it being long level
About 20 miles OF the route is of easy grade vary
ing from level to 20 feet per mile.
The Engineers are of the opinion that it is
very favorable route as to expense in building
One part of the route has been surveyed by Mr.
| Adams, and the other by Mr.. Stark-Mr Carte
having the supervision Of the whole.
The committee have not caused survey to b.
made either through the Gulf in Wiamstown o
through Topsham to Bradford as they have not bee
furnished with funds; but they are on their par
ready to do SO at any time.

SIGNIrIcANr.-What the South expect of the
North, and what the North may look for from the
South, is seen in one of the regular toasts at the
dinner to Mr.. Pickens at Abbevllle, S. c.
Our Republican Brethren throughout The Union--
We rely upon their PLlGHTED FAITH to re-
leve us from the odious tariff, but if we should be
disappointed in this, we will rely upon ourselves
Alone and leave the consequences to God.
Mr.. Pickens was one Of the ministers plenipo-
Tertiary from the Nullifers of South Carolina to
the Locoloco National Convention, and gave the
right hand of fellowship after Polk was nominated
How is it, Mr.. Dingham-have the ccoioco
leaders plghted their faith 10 South Carolina to re-
iieue them from The Tariff? There should be no
misunderstanding between brothers of the same
family.

July II, 1914.

On Wednesday morning our town was visitedby
severe rain with violent thunder and lightning
The lightning struck the conductor of the Winoosk
Church, and the sidewalk near Mr.. Catlihs OH the
hill
About one o'clock the rain and thunder again
came on and lasted for an hour or MORE
But evening bro't the severest and most violent
rain which has occurred for fourteen years 1t rain
ed torrents for t,co hours, flooding the streets, and
carrying away bridges and huge masses of earth,
almost in an instant.
An Extra Stage coach from the South coming to-
ward this village about o'clock at night, was
precpitated into deep gully across the road made
by the carrying away OF bridge and one Of the
passengers, Mrs. Whitney the mother ofour towns.
men, Messrs. Henry and Stephen Whitney, was
drowned before she could be extrcated from the
coach. The other passengers four in number, were
rescued. Two horses were also lost.
This melancholy accident is the only one which
has yet come to our knowlenge, but we fear there
are more to come.
If the rain fell as long and fast up the river,
the destruction of property must have been great.

FOURTH DISTRICT CONVENTION.

Tuesday last was proud day FOR the Wings OF
the fourth district No Wing present at Danve
estimates the Convention at less than TWO
THOUSAND, and many estimated the number at
THREE THOUSAND and over 1t was the
largest political meeting ever holden in the district
But let this spirit be carried out by the Wings
let thcmlabor to bring the truth to'the minds oithe
candid and honest of their opponents, by friendly
discussion and by newspapers and documents--let
them rally their strength at the polls, and even the
fourth district can be redeemed from the thraldom
of Locofocoism. The language of one OF the BAN
ners at Danville will find hearty response in the
bosoms of multitudcs of otr opponents" Poke
is po,son. ace can't take H." The pettiGogery and
the misrepresentation of the locooco leaders are
too shallow to stand for moment even in the
Judgment of their own party, in the face of the
facts which were produced by the speakers on
Tuesday-and which may. be spread and ought to
be SPREAD through every section of the district,
Hon. G. P. Marsh addressed the Convention in the
forenoon, and in his usual finished, forcible and
logical style, developed the principles of the con-
tending parties. In the afternoon Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens of Penn opened the discussion in speech
distinguished for wit, power and eoquence, which
will long be remembered by the thousands who
heard it. Judge Collamer and Senators Phelps and
Upham followed, and for three hours the great
subjects the Tariff and Annexation were discus
sed with an ability which never has been exceeded
in this section of the Union, to say the least. The
speeches were interspersed with patriotic songs by
the Montpelier Glee Club, sung in admirable
style, and on the whole this was not only the larg-
est but the best Convention ever assembled with
in this district
Gro. B. CHANDLER, Esq. was unanimously NOM
mated for Congress, and he briefly responded to
the nomination, when the convention was closed
by pertinent address by the President
1t would have given us pleasure to publish the
details of the various professions as they came ii
with their fine banners, &c. &c. but they came sc
near together that we could not even take the ne
cessary minutes.
