Death of Silas Wright,

It gives us pain to record the sudden and most
death of this distinguished gentle
man, who has dcscrvedly occupieda large space
in the public mind, and who was daily becoming
the political polar star Of so large portion of
the people Of this country. He was one of the
great men of his age, and well entitled to the
immense and growing popularity that attended
his name at the North. We cannot look upon
his DEATH in the full vigor and maturity of his
physical and intellectual powers as any thing
but a public calamity
Governor WRIGHT expired at his residence in
Canton, on Friday last, the 9th instant, of an
apopec attack.
Since his retirement from long and honor
able service in public life wherein he had filled
several of the most exalted official stations in
the Republic, Gov. WRlGHT has been occupied
by the more peaceful pursuits of private life
in which, we doubt not, he found pleasurabe
satisfaction that is generally denied to the occu-
pant of political place and power. His death has
undoubtedly left a vacuum that cannot easily be
filed.

Taylor and The War.


The Patriot has quoted from Gen. Taylor's Procla-
NATHAN to justify the Mexican War, ust as though
that Proclamation had not been prepared at Washing
ton, and signed by old I1ck, By order Of the Var
Department The following official document,
which is copied from the Haverhiil True Democrat,
tells the story:
[trom House Document, No 49, III Session 29th
Congress
Letter Of the Secretary Of tie Ir To Gen. Taylor.
WAR DEPARTMENT, June 4, 1917
Sir Il send herewith number of copies OF a pro-
cIamati5n in the Spanish language, addressed to tue
people OF Mexico, which you are requested to SIGN,
and be circulated in the nin;lner and the
extent you may deem proper You will use your ut.
most endravors to have the pledges and promises
therein contained carried ont to the fullest extent
There are also sent some copies OF the proclamation
in the English language, Very respectfully, your
obedlent servant, W. l.. MARCY. Sec. OF War
Brevet MAJOR Gen, H. Taylor,
Commanding Army Of Occupation, Texas.
Judging from the past, the Patriot, will not correct
this matter ; OF course giving new claim to shame
lessness
We believe the Patriot will remember that it
was from this very Pok-Narcy Proclamation
that it quoted, to prove that Gen TAYLOR. said
that " this war was first proclaimed By Paroles"

Our readers will find, on our first page, ex
tracts from the correspondence of the New York
Courier and enquirer and the Express, relating
to the exercises at the recent Commencement
of the University. The interesting letters from
which these extracts are taken were written,
we take it, by Mr.. RAYMOND of the Courier and
Mr.. lIoUGHToN of the Express, both of whom
were present on the occasion alluded to, and
both of whom have never failed to evince, since
their connection with it terminated, lively in
terest in, and zeal for, the prosperity of their
alma mater.
We think the extracts from the beautiful and
finished poem of Mr.. HoPKIys, which Mr.. HouCu-
TON was permitted to quote, fully justify US in
the high opinion we entertain of its rare merits.

Hon. Solomon Miller.

Under our obituary head, last week, is re-
corded the death of SoL6NoN MILLER, at the
" good old age" of 81. Something more than
the mere passing record of The event appears to
us TO be due not less to the character and his
tory of the deceased, than To the Just expecta-
tons of his numerous friends and acquaintance.
Judge MILLER signalized his early life by
partakng in the armed strife from which our
Republic sprung into vigorous existence. He
was born in Springfield, Mass, in l76l, and at
the tender age of 10 enlisted e a soldier to fight
the battles of his country. HSwas with STARK
and ALLEN at Bennington and subsequently,
was at the surrender of Burgoyne at Saratoga
two of the most signal and important triumphs
of the American arms during the bloody period
of the Revolution.
In 1871 he took up his residence at Mailing
ford, in Vermont and the very forge that he
there erected, more than 90 years ago, is yet il
successful operation.
Shortly afterwards he removed to Williston
in this County, where he passed nearly the
whole Of his subsequent lc life. He early
became an associate with ov Cm1rENDEN
and warm and intimate friendship, cementet
by mutual esteem and respect, sprung up be
tween them that lasted dur. p their lives.
Judge MILLER was for more tllan quarter o
century employed in the active concerns o
public life -as Clerk of cur Court, as Judgt
of Probate for this Dsiric., and as Il Membe
of the State Council previously to the organiza
ton of the Senate. In all these public trusts HI
displayed uniform excellence of judgment an
discrimination, wide acquaintance with tn
theory and practice OF our republican institr
tons, and firmness ard integrity of action an
of purpose, that secured fer him, in large de
gree. the popular confidence and respect. TIL
value of such man in the domestic circle. wher
principles whether good or evil are earlie>
planted and take deepest root, is best appreciate
by those who constitute that circle and VIII
remember his counscls.
Judge MILLER was for many years profe'
sor Of that religion in who g faith he confident
surrendered his soul to his Maker, and who's
practical operation he illustrated By ganerou
and consistent support of the good and benev,
lent enterprises of the day.

When Mr.. Dillingham; was up for Congress
the last time he was elected, the inquiry was
frequently and publicly made of him, if he would
vote for or against the annexation of Texas
This public question he DoDGED. But on the
last trial. or before it came on, leading men of
his party gave the most positive assurances that
Mr.. ID. would vote against the annexation of
Texas--but he has moIeSt man and did not
ike to come om publicity This assurance OBJ
tained for him many votes.
But what did Mr.. Dillingham; do after cleo
ton? Did he even dodge! No. He voted for
once, straighi--for the annexation of Texas,
with constitution desgnedy framed to make
slavery perpetual!
He is presented to the people again for their
Judgment, with his public acts. DO the people
of Vermont approve OF the annexation OF Texas

The vote Of Censurc.

The LotceH J1urna notices the miserable
pettifogging of the Vermont Patriot respecting
the Locoinco vote of-,nsurc upon Gen TAYLOR
for the terms cf the captulation of Monterey,
and expresses surprise that an editor could be
found who would be wUing to falsify history to
secure party end Our lowell contemporary
would have been better prepared, perhaps, for
the Patriots partisan logic, if he had seen the
Z" 90 instances : but this latter effort uhe '95
vanished so suddenly and so completely after it
was born, that very few are willing to admit
that it ever existed. Sheaking of the Patriots
shameless assertion that Mr. Cooke moved a
direct vote of ccnsure of Gen. Taylor, the Jour-
nal says
Ofcourse people in general know land it is great
presumption in this editor to think that even his own
subscribers ignorant enough not to know that this
after the Locoocos has succeeded m Incorporating
1hompsOns provsc into the resolution OF thanks, and
hadthus made il a vote OF censure. Mr. Cooke seeing
his original rcsout on thus wresed from its intention
to directly opposite purpose, moved TO make the
title read a resolution Of censure upon General lay
lor," instead of" resolution OF thanks to General
Taylor" He wished to alter the title TO conform to
what the Locoocos had made fact 1t Is clear
enough that with that proysO the resolution was not
one OF thaRks.
1t is not to be wondered at that Locufocosm Is
anxious to get itself OF tins affair very small

Ogdensburgh. The object of this enter
prise is plainly to promote interests foreign
from those of our citizens. We MAINTAIN
that its effect, f attained, would be positive
ly and seriously injurious to the wei fare OF
Vermont. The business interests Of Yer
mont require both that the navigation of
Lake Champlain shall in no wise be OBJ
structed, and that the railroads she has
chartered shall be constructed in The man

charters. She is not called upon to sacri-
flee the rights. or injure the business, of
single citizen within her limits, for the pur-
pose of granting mere right of icay over
her surface to augment the business and
promote the prosperity Of neighboring
State. And especially is she called on to
resist such project when it has no claim
upon her on the ground Of necessity, and
when its success would confer injury in
stead of ben fit upon herself The inter-
csts Of Burlington, of Chttcnden County,
and of the State, demand that the four rail.
