the public eye.

Mr.. CLAr.-We copy the following paragraph
from the Louisville Journal, merely on account
of its bearing upon The specula,ions in which
sundry Locofoco papers have seen fit to indulge,
upon Mr.. CLAY's recent visit to the North. The
language of the Journal is emphatic:
The Union and its Locofoco allies would re-
ioice to see Mr.. CLAY upon an electioneerng
tour for such q spectacle would give them hopes
OF jealousies and heart-burnings and collisions
among the Wings. But they are destined to OK
perence no such qualification. We know that
Mr.. CLAY, at the disastrous close of the last Pres
idential canvass, which he did not regret for his
own sake though he deeply regretted it for his
counlry's, came unhestatingly and instantly to
the determination never again to be n candidate
for the Presidency, unless in the progress of e.
vents the whole people of the United States, re-
CARELESS of party distinctions, should call him TO
the Presidency by reclamation. lie INDUCED
not the olghtesl expectation that this would ev.
err happen, and he fully made up his mind, that,
unless 1t should happen, he would remain forever
in the retirement that so dear to him that
he would never, under any circumstances, pass
through another political conflict What was his
resolution then, IL, we are sure, his resolution
now. lie will not be n candidate for the Chief
Magstracy unless called to the high office by
the general reclamation of all parties, and he
well knows that he is not called to il by any such
reclamation now"

oats is most favorable. The vintage is said TO
be excellent, but the growing crops of Indian

Accounts from Madrid TO the 18th ult., state
that the latest version of the "palace question"
IS, that the King has consented, on strong up
peal 10 his religious feelings, and the necessity
ofsaviDg appearances, to return and reside in the
palace. But, no more. No real reconciliation,
nothing whatever beyond residence under the

casus-In the last engagement with the Circas-

At the storlning of Gergeb, the Russians had
100 killed and wounded, SO of whom were OFF,

ment of Col. Jewdoklnoff fell into an ambuscade
of the Lesghians, in which five officers and l40
lien were killed. Since these defeats, the name
of Schamyl is in greater honor than ever. The
whole Tschetscha is in motion, and it appears
that Schamyl is meditaiing a still more impor-
,ant expedition agains. the Russian positions.
Prince Woronzow was making preparations not
only to repe the enemy, but likewise 10 resume
the siege of Gergcbil. No sacrifice will be
spared to destroy that place and remove the i'm
preston produced by the retreat of the Russians
on the neutral tribes. In the mean time, as the
cholera is making great ravages, it will not be
possible to undertake any serious movement

The death Of SILAs WRIGHT was briefly an.
nounced in our columns last week. We give the
following brief synopsis of his biography from
the Albany Atlas:--
"Mr. WRrGHT was born in the town of AM
herst, Mass, on the 24th day of May, 1895. The
subsequent year his father AMI family removed
to Vermont. In 1915 he graduated at Middle
bury College, IN that State, and in the fall of
that year removed TO this State to commence tho
study of law at Sandy Hill. In the fall of 1923
he was elected to the State Senate from st. Law
renee county. In 1896 he was elected to Con-
gress. In 1929 he was chosen State Comptroller,
to which office he was in 1882 reelected by the
Legislature. In 1888 he was chosen U. s. SEN
ator, 10 which Office lie was reelected in 1887,
for the term of sixyears. In l8i3 he was again
reelected, and in 1874 was called from the Sem
ate TO take the post of Governor, on which he
entered on the LIST of January, 1S45, and from
which he retired on the LIST of January, IS47.-
He died aged so years.

MONTPELIER.

DR.. Clark is re elected by round dozen more
votes than last year; and we are sorry to say
that his increase is due to q mistaken view Of
duty, as it appears to us, on the part Of few
Wings, who voted for him. 1t is worthy of re-
mark that they appeared to act from antagonistic
motives-a part voting for the Doctor on the
ground that he would support the license law,
and part on the ground that he would vote to
repeal it, Thus the extremes unconsciousy
joined hands in the support Of political oppo-
nent' Wings generally will be apt to think that
it would have been full as well to have agreed
upon the Wing candidate, and we submit that
proposition for the reflection Of all concerned.--
We are much pleased to cay that the election
was characterized by excellent order, quietness
and good temper at the polls. Annexed is the
vote comma rod with last year's.

RAILROAD TO THE PACIFIC.

Some friend, we know not who, has sent us a
falo, N. Y, in favor of Railroad TO the Pacific,
delivered in the National Convention holden at
Chicago in July last. 1t is an interesting speech,
and will serve to dispel the error of those who
look upon the project as utterly chlmerical. The
main questions, which will readily occur to every
man who besows any thought upon the subject,
are,-ls the route practicable and Is the cost
OF the undertaking within the means of the ma
ton? Mr.. Hall shows from Fremont's report
that from the Missouri TO the summit, distance
of about 1000 miles, the greater part of the as
cent varies from 2 l.2 to feet per mie-200
miles has an ascent of from l6 to IL feet per
mile-and single piece of eighteen miles only
presents grade Of AZ feet to the mile. This
carries the line to the summit, and from thence
to the Pacific he names the fact, that the country
is now traversed by loaded teams, as sufficient
evidence that it is available for a railroad. AS
to cost, he remarks that $38, 100000 will build
the road at $4,000 per mile but he assumes the
cost at S50,000,000, and well remarks that when
this sum "is less than has been chserfuiy incurred
by The country for single gear Of toar, think the
opposition on The ground Of erprnse may be NTH
dra,Dn." We think so, too; and we suggest the
fact as theme for profitable reflection, that the
money spent in one year for war for the extern
sion of slavery, would unite the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans by a railroad and give us pre-
eminence far above every other nation In the
race for the vast trade of China and the East In

THE ELECTION.

The election has passed with unusual cool
ness so far as State Officers we're concerned
but in many towns the contest for representative
has been quite smart, serving to bring out about
the usual number of voters. Judging from the
results in this vicinity, we think ii safe to say
that there has been no election of state officers
by the people, and that the Legislature will be
Wing, according to the old fashion in Vermont.
