robbery was not discovered until last
Thursday, when Mr.. Anderson. tie post
master at Clinton, came TO this place for
the purpose of iustituting inquiries in re-
gard to it. That night, the stage driver
who brought the mail here on the day of
the robbery, decamped; which circum-

one of the horses belonging 10 the stage
company, has sutished almost every Que

vermont Election---More Glory.
Mr.. John ID. Kollogg.

vermont ElectIOn-~~ MOIe GLORY!
The State Journal of last evening says
that Vermont-in which an election foI
state officers took place last week--'is
right side up, as always 1t would be
better to say that she is coming right
side up,' for the wings are losing their
power in that quarter as they are every
where else. We have returns from ,foriy
towns of the vote for Governor, which
show tlal Kellogg, the democratic oandi-
date, has d majority of 473 over Slade the
whig candidate. The same towns at the
last presidential elect ion, gave Clay q
majority over Polk Of S6S. The wh!g
nett loss in these towns, is TWO THOU
SAND AND FIFTY EIGHT! Glory
enough for one day!
The Legislature, at least in the popular
branch, shows a heavy loss 10 the whi,s.
They have lost thirteen members of the
House, in u towns. The Senate, so far
as beard from stands the same as last year.
Wbggery is evidently on the decline
in the Green Mountain State. Disunion
and everlasting opposition to democ ratio
administrations are fast being dis carded.

Re-Districting of the state.

The last session of our State Legisla-
ture, was characterized by many features
of infamy which should now on the eve of
the election. be review ed and remember:
ed by an outraged and insulted people.
That was the first session under our
state organization, which has been distin-
gnlshed for its ranconr of political venom,
when excited BY party jealousy. and dis.
appointed factional ambition.
BY an inexcusable division in the dem
ocratic ranks, the Federalists obtained
the ascendancy in the State last fall; and
the uncertainty of subsequent success ins
cited them to that yigor of activity, with
which they rushed their villanous schemes
into operation regardless of the sancti-
ty oftheir oaths, and in scornful defiance
Of Unconstitutional restriction; thereby i'm
parting to the electors of this state. a
practical demonstration of the dishonest
and reckless ambition oft High Priests
Of that Party.
One Of the paramount features OF their
misconduct was the re-districting of the
State, which the Constitution of the Unii
ted States expressly prohibits at an inter.
val Of less than ten years. Now we ask
the honest man, be he whig or democrat,

RALLY ONE! RALLY ALL!!

DEMOCRATS, the contest is now open, and
but few weeks will pass until every man
must be in the field, or the enemy may trl-
umph. The result of this election depends
upon your exertion, and let it not be said, that
through you, the glorious principles of DE-
MOCRACY have pershed-the principles
which alone guarantee to man FREE and
EQUAL rights.
REFLECT AND DO YOUR DUTY!
A division in our party atthis time, would
not only be stain upon our political integrl-
ty, but place men in power, who will eternal
ly oppose our interest. Let this never be the
case; for should the enemy gain the ascen-
lancy, they will crow over us and laugh at
our folly
EACH TOWNSHIP, COME UP RIGHT!
Democrats, let every exertion be made to
see which of your townships will be entitled
to the prize banner, which Will be the praise
Of the whole Democratic party. Let free
dom, with all its blessings be your guide, and
then the FLAG of LIBERTY will be borne
aloft the DEMOCRACY RIUMPHANT
and the enemy ours! DEMOCRATS, the Clio
ry of our little county depends upon your ev-
cry exertion. The question is frequently ask
ed, 'how will your county go" and the answer
patiently awaited. We have ever said, if the
democrats are united and do their duty, that
they can and will inevitably TRIUMPH

pies right; then never finch from doing your

EVERY MAN TO HIS POST

When the day arrives for ACTION let
every freeman set aside all personal prefer
ence and fight the fight of Democracy. The
battle is not between man and man, but be-
tween Democratic principles and the corrupt
principles of the opposition. The Democrat
ic principles grant to every freeman, equal
protection and equal privileges, while the op-
position, always fayoring certain class, grant
to few, special privileges. Now upon this
ground, we meet our enemy, and upon this
ground if we do our duty, they are ours
With principles so bright and cause so just,
how can we fail to gain VICTORY, which
to the Democracy of this county, will forever
cast q ray of light that cannot be smothered.
Friends and Democrats, for the good of our
country and county, we call upon you to be
ready for the BATTLE. When the morning
comes, let your trumpet be heard in the cause
which has for its aim, the GOOD of the whole
PEOPLE! Let the drum of democracy be
sounded from early in the morning till the
close of the polls, when you can give the last
sound in honor of your Victory! Be on your
guard from now until the last vote is cast, for
the enemy is busy. The bright flag of Lib
erty spread forth by our Revolutionary Faith
crs, should be manfully defended by the De-
mocracy at the coming election, as it was
by the brave and immortal JACKSON at the
battle of New Orleans, not by fighting the
fight of sword, but of principle-remember-
ing, that

Trouble with Brazil.

1t is stated that important dispatches have Just
been received by the Department of State from Mr..
Wise, Minister at Brazil, relating the recent
insult given by that government 10 himself, Con-
sui at Rfo and to the commander of the rigae Rar-
itan who had seized upon the slave vessel Porpoise,
with her cargo Of slaves and SPECIE but which, from
the threats Of the Brazilian gos ernment he forced
to relinquish.
The dispatches referred to from Mr. Wise, call for
definite instructions the he is to pursue
in his present relations with the Brazilian govern
ment. He urges the immediate appearance of for
mdabe naval force in that quarter, for the protection
of our commercial and maritime interests and the
cxpediency Of his withdrawal from that government,
inasmuch as he cannot well see how the matter is TO
be settled amicably and honoraby to ourselves, the
insult was gratuitous on the part Of the Brazians,
who refuse to apologize. and continue to hold forth
fresh menaces to HIMSELF and of course to the gov
eminent of the United States. II Is said that there
has already been Cabinet meeting upn the subject
that the naval force intended for Mexico will receive
instructions to visit Rio that Mr.. Wise will not
turn until such time government is determined
to act with efficiency and force, regarding it does
the case as an exceedingly aggravated one.

At the date of our last advices from Galveston
British vessel Of had just reached that city with
dispatches from Capt Elliott, the British Charge,
who set out Immediately after receiving them for
Washington. This vessel, which proved to be the
sloop CT war Electra, direct from Jamaica, to which
place the dispatches had been sent by one of the West
India steamers, had dispatches also for Mr. Saligny,
the French Charge. Both the French and English
Charges returned to Galveston on the LIST inst. The
nature Of the dispatches by the Electra had
pired. Any number of surInses afoat as to the
precise character of the documents in question: but
nothing decisive was known The only hope the an
-annexatonsts entertained of the defeat of the
was, that the Electra had brought definite and
complete propositions for the settlement of Mexican
pretensions whilst the annexation party laughed
the idea Of British guaranty, when there no long,
er any occasion for 1t, the independence of the
country, as regards Mexico, could be better estab
lished by becoming member of the American confed
eracy. There viii be strong efforts made, however
to produce a rejection of the terms offered by Mr.
Browns resolutions. The Galveston News, In re-
marking upon the struggle about to take place il

Another queer Bird.

Grays Edingburgh Advertiser gives an account of a

IMAM FACED " BIRD AT Waapu, in New Zea-
land, the natives speak Of monstrous animal, which
is called moa, and which, in general appearance, Is
described 10 resemble an immense domestic cock, with
the difference, however, of its possessing face like
man," living upon air, and being guarded by two
enormous tuatOaras who, Argus like keep incessant
watch while the moa sleeps. The Rev. w. Colenso,
in the summer of 1912, obtained some moa bones,
from which it is calculated that this extraordinary
bird must have measured in altitude when alive, at
the lowest rate of estimation, from IA to l6 feet
Thus it must have formed enormous feathered
monster, well worthy from its gigantic size, of being
classed with the Megaossurus of auckland, and the
BIastadon of Cuvier. A mechanic who had been re-
siding at Cloudy Bay in the Middle Island, asserts
that this bird exists in the hills Cloudy Bay
