Fashion In the two succeeding heats, Fashion on
ly won by allength and halt a length. The beauti-
iul square trotting Of Trouble was greatly admired

only won by about nose in front; and had nightfal
not been advancing rapidly, there is no doubt but
that it would have been given as dead heat.

Ticket,

We feel urged from various considerations to call
tho attention Of our Wing friends to the fact that our
State election is rapidly approaching. Candidates for
all parties are in the field and each will rally to the
support Of their nominations. In the person Of the
WING nominee, Governor Slade; we have man Of
long public experience tried integrity, undoubted ca
pacity devoted the true interests his country and
Ills native State beloved at home, and respected a.
broad, he has enjoyed the confidence Of his
friends, and commanded the respect Of his enemies
Never, while IL years in Congress did he prove re-
crean to the trust reposed in him, Ellter from
prompt and faithful discharge Of his duties. His strong
and eloquent speeches in defence Of the Tariff, his
firm and manly resistance TO the cncIoachmonts Of
sla very together with his warm and gushing sympn-
thes for the down trodden and oppressed OF AZ
rica have won for him the title of ''Vermont's
bic SONIA title as well deserved as freely bestowed
We often think Of him standing side by side with the
noble Adams and honest hearted Giddngs, contend
ing in the spirit of lreemen, for the sacred right Of pc
tition Day after day, did this noble trio, breast the
9:orm Of sayehoIdng raryi and they have lived to
