thanks to that band of firm and faithful Democrats
who have adhered to the establi men the present

Democrat Under his auspices, ~e have no doubt the
Sentinel X Democrat will take rank with the nhlest
journals OF Vermont, II not OF New England. II will
be enlarged and printed upon and superior type

We are requested to say that in order to give time
to make the necessary arrangements put the paper

Severe accident on the Railroad.

On Monday the Sd inst, very serious acct
dent occurred on the line of the Central Rail-
road at the Iigh Bridge cut" in Colchester.
1t appears that blast had just been discharged
without producing any effect farther than to
crack and loosen slightly the rock, and three
men two of them brothers, named Henry,) were
engaged in recharging the same blast. A large
charge of powder had been poured in, and these
men were engaged in tamping it, when it sud-
denly exploded, throwing them several feet and
dreadfully burning and decorating their faces.
Neither of them is supposed to be fatally injur-
ed, but the attending physician, DR.. Hatch, is
apprehensive that their eyes will be completely
destroyed-a calamity to these poor men and
their families, scarcely less dreadful than death it.

l. Resolued, That it is now expedient for
every Democrat in Charleston District to exer.
else his suffrage in the election of President and
Vice President, and contribute his aid 10 sase
the country from Wing misrule; and that the
maintenance of the Democratic party is at all
times more important than the advocacy Of any
individual, however eminent may have been
his public services or personal character.
2 Resolved, That the great question Of rq.sl.
rights under the Constitution. of the Slayrl..ll.
ing and nonslaveholding States, is now, as evrr,
considered by US paramount to all other iss,n.<,
but we recognize no stronger claims to our con.
fdence, in this particular, in the Wing nominee,
either from his own expressed opinions or the
associations of party, or from any other cause,
over his Democratic opponent.
8. Resolped, That the late developments at
Washington, and more particularly the incor.
poration OF the Ordinance Of 1857 into the bill
for the government of Oregon, by which the
Wilmot Proviso so far as that Territory is con
cerned, has becume the law Of the land, with
