From The Providence Journal. The Dorrites
have gained nothing by the election, except their
personal qualification at the defeat Of Governor
Fenner, whose name has always been a terror to
them, and who, under the most trying circumstan.
ces, has administered the government with sin.
gle eye to the interest and the honor of Rhode Is
land. The Dorrites have gained nothing and g.
ven the liberation of Dorr, which they put forth
the only issue is not step nearer by the election
of Mr. Jackson. This question is to be decided
ny the General Assembly, which has a strong Law
and Order majority in both branches, and 1t will
be settled in precisely the same way that 1t would
if Governor Fenner had been reelected. The
powers Of the Governor are exceedingly limlted
and that of pardoning criminals is not among them
The appointment of all the State officers belongs
to the General Assembly, and the Governor can do
nothing of himself. And besides all this Mr. Jack.
son agrees with them only on one single question:
and that question over which he has no control
the unconditional Liberation of Thomas W. Dorr;
and he only accepted their nomination on the con-
diton that they would rcpudiate all their principles
AMI surrender or profess - surrender the essential
element of Dorrsm-tho right to alter the COnsti-
tuition in any other way than according to It's own
provisions. A; the same lime, he declared in ad-
vance, that he rolinquished none Of his former o.
pinions which were known to be altogether oppos-
ed to Dor and to Dorrism. Nor docs the small
popular majority in favor Of Jackson, indicate any
opinion, upon the question Of liberation, for
larger una orty has been given fer Diman who cor
daily agrees III all questions of State policy with
Gov. Fenner; w Washington county which has Civ
en- Jackson 2l2 majority, elects 3 Dori,es aud I |
Law and Order men to the General Assembly,
Certainly this vote cannot be claimed for Liberation.
An examination Of the returns III some other parts
OF the State, will disclose the same singular and
unaccountable results.

The Postmaster General is preparing to carry the
new Post Office law into execution. lie has nd
vertiscd for " $1,000 balances for the various post
offices III the United States, constructed on plan
best calculated to ascertain the weight of letters
and other mailablc NATTER under the post office law
Of 3D. March, 1915. The prices at which they can
be furnished are to accompany the proposition. 1t
is necessary that the balance SHOULD indicate half
ounce, and any given weight between half and
eight ounces. Propositions not to be considered
unless accompanied by samples 1t is desirable
that the whole number OF balances indicated shall
be furnished by the first of July; but the bidder
will designate the time or times at which he can

Balance in favor of Central route, S2i,0I0,0o2 rs
This indicates, to say the least, sufficiently i'm
mense advantage on the part of the Central route
to put the Mail editor to the blush for his ridiculous
claim. 1t has been claimed, perhaps for the pur-
pose of meeting the view Of the question which we
have now presented,) that Boston will get the hadc
of the central and northern counties, whichever
route is adopted. We remarked upon this point
last week arguing that by the Rutland route much
of the trade which Boston notD has, together with
n moety Of all the Northern British and American
trade, would be diverted to New York, by tapping
the road at Rutland. We shall advert to this point
more particularly ere long. Suffice it now simply
TO remark that this claim of the friends of the Rut-
land route u true, will not by any means supcrsede
the advantages of the Central route The ground
for this remark is, that the bare increase of trade
which the Central route would create, by the supe-
rior facilities it would afford to Windsor, Orange,
Washington, Caledonia, Lamoille, Orleans and
Chrtenden counties, and the section of New IIaInp-
shire before named, ,could be more than The tohole
trade Of addison and Rutland
Our friends OF the Atlas published glowing
description Of the mineral resources Of Vermont il
their paper of the 18th, which seems entirely tc
have captvated the affections of Messrs. Hayder
e. Brewer for the Rutland route: after all, howev
er, we hope these gentlemen will find, on bette
acquaintance, that we have more than one belle il
Vermont worthy of their distinguished favor.
In reference 10 this Atlas article of the llth we
have TO remark that in all the most material point
it is as applicable to the Central route as to the Rut
land. The freight OF the Northern world, via Mon
treal and the proposed Ogdensburgh Railroad
and the trade Of Lake Champain, would wei
90 by the Central route any other. The soap
stone of Grafton, Chester and Windham; the roc
slate of Rockingham the siicous mica of Ches
ter and Cavendish; the serpentine of Windham
Cavendsh and Ludlow, and the lime, iron and mar
BILE of Plymouth, would all reach the Central roa
via Keene with nearly the same facility as the Rut
land route. And the marble, iron and manganes
OF Rutland and Addison counties would by n
means be excluded from market by the Contra
Soute. The same easy access to Lake Chanplair
which now enables all these articles TO find maj
ket, would still remain, and by that means the
would readily find way to the Central road at I'm
lington. On the other hand we beg to remind III
Some may BIO disposed to claim something from, po,,
county; disposed to concedo any thing iIe a
course Troy and down the Battenkll TO the Chanpsn
Central Springfield go north the mountains

The advantages of the Central route via Leba-
non will be seen by emitting Windsor county, and
the opposite section in N. H., from the above table.
Wosubmit wlcthertl,is does not fairly reverse the
tables, and show great advantage to the Central
route. This, however, is but II specimen; on full
statistical statement of the products, manufactures
and trade OF Vermont, we think we shall be able
to show that the Central route is the best and will
pay largely 10 The stockholders,
In conclusion we remark, that the only erciuSire
advantage claimed with any tolerablc propriety for
the Rutland route is, that it is the shortest. We
do not concedc to this claim: Tint remains TO be
shown by the survey. In the mean time we claim
i,co exclusive and important advantages for the Cen
trail route: /. 1t presents no grade over fifty feet
to the mile, while the Rutlanders confess grades of
sixty feet. .. BY the charter, The Central road IS
erempt from ta1ation,-the Rutland route is not ex-
empt At the last session Of our Legislature an
inquiry was raised, whether the Central charter
could not be subjected to alteration in this respect
the decision was, that this exemption is vested
right, and cannot be taken away
PoinLs of .4greemeni. The Caedonian infmutes
that it is not exactly Tor teo routes to Montreal but
deprecates a controversy between the Passumpsc
and Rutland Routes Welfare there not some
things in which can all agree? If Boston Choos-
es to 90 to Kcenc, or Brattlcboro or Bellows Falls
it seems to us that Rutland, St. Johnsbury ant
MONTPELIER can all concedc to that IT, on the 9th
or hand, the Concord route is chosen, we sec NJ
reason why the North eastern and Central counties
cannot checrfully come into that arrangement
~ The last Clinton County Wing, published
at Plattsburg contains the following paragraph il
relation to the Iron trade in that County, which vii
: be open to Boston by the Central Rail Road:
b alt is now pretty well understood that the man
i ufacture of Iron is the best business that can b.
T. done in this County and since the recent rise Il
. the article we notice a strong desire Of some @
u our business men who have heretofore conline
J. their capital TO mercantile operations, to engage
J, the business and we doubt not from present ind
. cations that before year passes, we shall sc
, Pattsburg a very different place from what It eve
has BEEN"
: At present there are about $4,000 tons of lro
c made per annum in Northern New York So rio
is that section of the State in Iron Ore that this
Il mount could easily be trebed and quadruped. TIL
l. want of capital we presume is the chief obstac
+ IN the extension of the manufacture.

FALL but are rising from defeat, like Anlnus of old,
with renewed strength and courage. The course
of the Locolocos in Congress, and the encroaching
spirit of the ultra-Slave holding influence of the
South, are bringing large occcssons to our ranks.
Look out for a storm next Fall. Never did new
administration fill its cup so soon, and we misudgo
greatly if it be not foredoomed TO a miserable and
dsgracefu failure. The Texas interest, instead of

THE WINGS STILL IN ACTION.


The meeting last evening, at Union Hall, was
strong Wing rally, and showed that the Wings of
Hartford in vigorous preparation for the coming
contest The Hon. Mr.. Upham the able U. S.
Senator from Vermont, addressed the crowded au.
dience with great power and effect. We wish ev-
cry freeman in Connecticut had been present, to
hear his urgent and irresistible opposition to that
stupendous scheme Of fraud and injustice by which
the Constitution is in danger of overthrow, and the
happiness and peace Of the country IN imminent
hazard.
No one who heard him could fail Of percclvlng
the force aud power Of the consideration urged by
him against tic contamination of the abonlnablc
scheme; nor could any Northern man, unless bin
ded by the strongest party deluslon, cooy deny the
ruthiulness ofthe view presented by the Hon Sen
ator. Mr.. Upham has been upon the field OF &C
ton at the seat of government and knows the mo-
tives and appliances which have been addressed to
all sorts of men there to induce them to come into
the support of measure against which their better
feelings at first revolted, The thanks OF the Wings
of Hartford are due the speaker for his eloquent
advocacy of the cause OF truth, of Justice and of
national honor aud we trust they will give noble
response when the day Of action comes Let the
noble sentiments echo from one extremity OF the
State to the other and Connecticut will do herself
! honor - Hartford CoUdnt Hprd 2.
