THE "TENTH LEGION"

We are glad to perceive that the people of this
naturally fine region of the Old Dominion are
awaking to true sense of their interests, but we
are not surprised that such is the CASE for, from
the acknowledged ability and untiring zeal and
energy Of The Wing eector for the district, A. H.
H. Stuart, Esq, much good may reasonably be ex-
pected. One of the counties in this section of
Virginia (Shenandoah) at the election of 1910,
gave Van Buren, 1918 votes, and Harrison 102.
At Columbia Furnace, one of the numerous vii
lagos in this county, we learn from the Winches-
ter Republican, Wing pole, one hundred and
forty feet in height, raised on the l7th ult.,
on which was inscribed Henry Clay, Theodore
Frelinghuysen, and the United States," and a
Clay Club was established, of which John J.
Stoneburner, whose remuneration Of Locofocosm
was recently published, was elected President.
Eighty persons were enrolled as members of this
Club, and the spirit is up, conquering and to
conquer"

If such prayer, on such an occasion, is not
gross blasphemy, then we would like to know
what to call it. No violence, it seems, was at
tempted by the sympathizers-for the Governor
had taken care to have sufficient military force
in readiness to maintain the majesty Of the laws
by crushing all rebellion and rioting in the bud.

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN TRIUMPH

Ever faithful, devoted, glorious Vermont comes
with unbIoken and indomitabe Wing Ieg,ons
now, in every dark hour of The cuuntry's his
tory, to the RESCUE! Her hardy, honest and pa
trotic sons are always ready, always true always
triumphant. They never hesitate, never faer,
never quail. They were first in the field at Ben
nington under Stark, and at Pla,sburg under
Nlaconb. They were Wings in l776, Republi-
cans in 1885, Patriots in 1914, Wings in 1910.
and Wings in 1914. Indeed, Vermont alone can
boast Of the high and enviabe distinction of having
never cast her Presidential vote In the wrong
ballot box.
The result in Vermont, sanguine as we were,
more overwhelming than we dared 10 anticipate
The Wings gain largely everywhere. The State
ticket instead Of failing to obtain majority over
Locofocoism and Abolition, is elected by thou
sands. We have reelected Messrs Foote,
Marsh, and Collamer, our three able Wing mem
bers of Congress, and DEFEATED DILLING-
HAM, the present Locofoco member. We have
| elected two-thirds of the Senators, and three
fourths of the members of Assembly. Our ma
jority for William Slade in the towns heard from
is over 5000, nearly all of which is GAIN from
the vote of 1913.
The vote now cast in 147 towns, compared
with the vote in lS43 is as follows
Wing 1854 2O453
Locofoco 1885 1920
Abolition 237S 1928
This shows Wing gain of $500, an Abolition
gain of 9l5, anda Locofoco loss of 1885! The
aggregate vote in 1874 is l,349 larger than it was
in lS43.-AIbany En-. Jour. Of Saturday.

DISGUSTING MOCKERY.

At the great mass meeting Of the Locofocos
last week in Providence, Rhode Island, near the
prison ,ohere The arch scoundrel, Dorr, is con-
fined for rebellion against the State and leading
an armed mob of four or FIVE hundred men, and
| ordering them to fire their cannon at the State
| Arsenal, where several hundred citizens (among
| them DORIS own father and brother) were con-
gregated, the following prayer was offered up in
| solemn mockery by a person styled "the Rev.
| Elder Waterman" according to the New York
Herald, which reported the proceedings of the
Dorr sympathizers on the occasion, in full
almighty and everlasting God, who holdeth
the sceptre over the destnies of men, and gov
erne,h Kingdoms by Thy mighty power. We
rejoice, 0 Lord, that we have thus far travelled
the journey of life, although surrounded with
temptation and evil. We rejoice that the light Of
glorious day is yet permitted to shine on the soil
Of Rhode Island We pray Thee, 0 Lord, to in
terpose Thy divine influence in the adoption of
such measures as will advance the noble cause
for which this assemblage was convened together.
(Some of the spectators here loudly cried
sAmen.) Thou knowest, o Lord, that one of
the farest and most virtuous of Rhode Island,
now lies incarcerated within the gloomy cells of
our State Prison, whose incarceration has arisen
from dis advocacy OF DemOCTa'lc principles, sucD

in the cause of human liberty May the Democ-
racy of Rhode Island be stimulated by the pres
ence Of their fellow freemen this day to urge for

FROST IN THE GREEN MOUNTAINS!
THE NOBLE STATE OF VERMONT.
DILLLN'G HAM DEFEATED!

The cheering intelligence we have received
from Vermont is abundantly confirmed, and the
Wings have triumphanty carried the State, elect
ing their Governor by clear majority over the
Locofocos and Abolitionists, securing the Senate
and House of Representatives, which is to secure
the Wings U. S. Senator, and three Wing

THE VOTE OF NEW YORK.

At last Slas Wright has consented to be nomi-
mated for Governor Of the Empire State, and has
accepted the nomination, but he cannot be elected
There is not more cautious man, or one who
loves office better in the Lucofoco party, perhaps,
than Mr.. Wright He positively declined being
nominated for the Presidency, and then declined
the nomination for the Vice Presidency, which
was rendered him. Why? Because his good
judgment told him that he could not be elected.
He has since absolutely declined to be candi-
date for Governor Of New York, and for the same
sensible reason. At last however, the beseech-
ings and besettings of the forlorn Locofoco lead.
ers have prevailed with him to lend his name for
the use of the party, and Governor Bouck, the
"Old White Horse" has been pushed aside with
promises to be remembered hereafter Mr..
Wright does not resign his seat in the Senate,
Sensible man y and the country will not be at
all apt to lose his services in that body for some
years to come.
