THE CONVENTION.

We have hardly dared 10 hope for another
rally like that Of 1870; but if the accounts
that reach us from some of the principal coun-
ties of the State are to be taken as indica-
tons Of the whole, we shall see more people
here on Wednesday next, than we did on the
memorable 25th, four years ago. Not that
we anticipate the same display oflog cabins,
and other emblems, which, like Jonah's
gourd, sprang into existence a. the bidding
Of Loco Foco insolence bu, the same lion
hearted spirit which prompted the American
people 10 rise in their majesty and vindicate
the "log- cabin " dwellers against the taunts
and sneers Of supercilious cormorants who
knew not Joseph, still remains. Every man
who bucklcd on the sword IN 40, still wears
il upon his thigh, and is determined, ready,
eager for the fight, which is soon to realize to
the country those rich rewards of patriotic
action which have been lost 10 us through
the perfidy of one man alone, whom 10 name
in comparison with Judas Iscariot, would be
down right SANDER upon that ancient imper-
sonaton oftreachery. The masses are NOV
ing, and the people will again march 10 VIC
tory.
friend at Brandon writes Us that they
are all wide awake in that county, and will
rally strong. He says, We had meeting

ito the State Convention. We shall turn
"out stronger, much, than we did in 1910,
"as they will also in the towns around U.S.
"From Leicester, where they sent but four
"or five in 1910, they will send now from
40 to So"
A similar state of things exists in Addison
county, and we have good tdings from the
battle field of Bennington. The following
appeal to the wings of Windsor County will
indicate something of the spirit of their ope-
ralions on the cas-, side of the mountain.
