VIM. l.. Stone, Esq:

Sir: For the purpose Of settling a sub
ject of debate among some friends. who a.
greed to refer the matter to you, allow
me to inquire what were the opinions
and conduct of Mr.. Van Buren, in the
early stages of the war of 1919, touching
the policy of the wat? On what grounds
did he support De Witt Clinton for the
Presidency. in opposition to Mr. Madi-
son? And what were Mr.. Clintou's
views in relation TO the war and its CON
tinuance?
We believe Mr. Clinton to have been
the peace party candidate, and that Mr.
Van Buren, supported him on that
ground.
Will you have the kindness to set as
right. either by answering it in the Com.
nercial Advertiser. or by letter?
II by letter, we will not regard it as
intended for publication. Your answers
to the above will much oblise MANY
Wing friends.
am, very respectfully,

SENTENCE OF GOV. DORR,

We learn from the Providence Journal Of
yesterday, that on Monday last the Court at
Newport refused the motion made by the coun-
sci Of Thomas w. Dorr, in arrest Of Judge
ment, and that his counsel moved that sentence
be suspended until bill of exceptions could be
filed, To take the case to the Supreme Court Of
the United States. The Newport correspond
ent OF the journal SAYS, Judge Staples sug-
gested that, until sentence was pronounced,
there was no judgement on which bill Of ey-
ceptions could be founded, aud Mr. Atwell mod
flied his remarks by giving notice that he should
move that execution of the sentence be sus
pended until the case could be heard before the
Supreme Court of the United States. This
every lawyer knows cannot be done, as the
Court has no power after il has passed sen
tence The pardonirg or repreving power can
then alone be appealed to. As the result prov
ed, this was only done for delay. The Court
aGjourne6 TO nine O'Clock on Tuesday morning,
for the purpose of passing sentence. Inc

dignified manner, that the Court had endeayoT'

RAIL ROAD CONVENTION AT SUNDERLAND.
We call the attention of our readers to the proceed
ings of the Rail Road Convention held at Sunderland
Mass, on the 25th alt.
Although rather late in the day, the people on the
east side of the Connecticut in franklin and Hampshire
counties, have began to in right good
the matter of rail road The well drawn and sensi-
BILE resolutions of the Convention shew that they I'M
derstand what they are about.
Al this moment two things TO be pretty well set
tied One is that the Vermont and Massachusetts Rail
Road ioiH be btih, and built via Miller's River. The
other is that Railroad will be completed from Spring.

S3OOOO0 shall they for the purpose of accommoda
ting the County of Greenfield be connected by road
from 80 to 40 miles in length, and costing from $780,
COO TO S6QQQ00. We apprehend there ought to be but
one to ihe question, and if the people upon the
east side Of the Connecticut do but display the energy,
lberaty, public spirit, and determined perseverance,
that is alwaye necessary to the accomplishment Of
great purpose, they will succeed.

MEETING OF THE wINDHAM COUNTY MI
TUAL INSURANCE COMPANY.

The members Of this Company will not we presume,
il to notice the call for meeting of the Company
take place at Newfane the 10Th inst. The object
Of the meeting will be 10y the advertisement
what action il any, the Company will take in
ation to the loss suffered by jeremiah Bea Of this
town. who insured in tho Company to the amount
Of 5000. The insurance and loss upon Tame
~ and the stock therein There in the tannery
the time the insurance taken, heater, used in the
business, This heater examined by the Agent Of
the Company and It's Secretary. and the risk taken
and the premium fixed with full knowledge Of this
heater but by mistake Of the Agent Of the Company,
who the application il named in the ap-
piica,ion The directors thinking tina, this omission
might possibly prevent MIR Beal from recovering the
of his loss by suit law felt their duty 10
ress, his claim. BY the desire of many men,
bcrs, meeting Of the Company has been called to act
upon the subject.
The question presented for the decision of the Com
pany whether they will resist claim OF damage for
loss by FIRE, where the insured has acted perfect
good jata, and where the Company has not been mis-
led simply because the agent ofhs Company commit
ted in writing description of the premises.
We apprehend every member will feel deep interest
in settling this question righfeotsiy IL precedent is
established Of resisting such a claim who that has his
property insured feel safe Who could have the
least assurance that claim for loss Of his proper
y could not be resisted upon the ground Who
would wish TO insure their property in Company that
took advantage of every petty technical objection to
resist claim for loss
We believe that it has been general rule with all
those Companies that have succeeded well, never to
resist claim for damage where there had been honesty
and good faith in the insured and where the Company
had not been materially mised They have felt that it
was the best policy to take advantage of mere
technical objections to honest claim We doubt not
the Windham County Mutual Insurance Company will
feel and act in the manner and trust they will
feel sufficiently deep interest in settling this question
to turn en- taasse on the 10th inst

BuEFALo. June Eth. 1914.

Gentlemen:- have this moment received
your kind and flattering invitation tn attend a
meeting of the Wings Of Vermont at Burng-
ton, on the Goth inst, to respond to the nomi-
nations OF CLAY and FRELINGHUYsEN, recent
~ made at the Baltimore Convention, and re-
gret that my previous engagements are such
that il will be out of nay power TO comply with
your request. But know of no State which
il would give me more pleasure To visit
Though am myself native of New York,
yet, my father was born under the shadow OF
the Green Mountains, and his childish ears
were saluted with the thunders Of war, that
proclaimed the deadly conflict for liberty, which
resulted in the triumph of Gen. Stark at Ben
nington. The stirring events that followed
the Revolution in that State, are engraven
upon my memory, and their tradiiionary his
tory was the romance Of my juvenile years
But il these scenes attracted my boyish fancy
and won my childish admiration, The steady
and enlightened democracy of the Wings of
that dlsting uished State, has called forth the
deep veneraton Of my maturer years. The
glorious Wings of Vermont have never yet
"bowed the knee 10 Banl." Their democracy
exhibits verdure as perpetual as that OF their
own mountains, and stability as immovable
as her everlasting hills True to themselves
and the Union, | know they will give most
hearty response TO the nominations of CLAY
and FRELlNGHUYSEN, and that we may
look with confidence TO the triumphant success
Of the Wing ticket in that State this fall.

say something Of the importance of the APP

immediate annexation Of IeraS. But our
Court is in session, and cannot command my

pressing my grateful acknowledgements for the
