The Election.

The election for Presidential Electors takes
place on Tuesday next, as most Of our readers
are probably aware. That the contest will be
close one, we think there is no reason to
doubt. The Cass and Van Buren loco focos
are doing all in their power to defeat the elec-
ton of Gen. Taylor, by the people, and carry
the election into the House, where the election
of Cass, will be almost certain. That this
State is certain for Taylor, we think there il
no doubt, though we believe not by that major
ity many anticipate, unless our Wing friends
will come to the polls more generally and there
is more feeling on the subject than we have
now any reason to anticipate
We hope, however, that our Whig
friends will devote what little time remains be-
fore election, to organizing the party in the
different towns in the State, and doing what
they can to bring out full vote. Let every
voter be brought to the polls.

Business Men.

The deep interest that business men have in
the result ofthe approaching Presidential Elec-
ton, is well portrayed in few words by the
Nep York Express: "We apprehend that the
business cl,sses Of society are not yet suffi-
ciently awake to the way in which this elec-
ton touches their interests. We fear they do
not yet sufficiently portray the dangers invol-
we'd in the election Of Cass, and conquest
One war, improbable enough, we have had

Cass, who can fcresee, or forctell' We think
that Merchants, Traders and Farmers are not
yet wide awake enough to the importance OF
opening the way Of our great Western Lakes
and Rivers for all the outlets and inlets OF
commerce. They do not remember always,
that Polk has stopped all Internal Improve
ments by the Federal Government, in the face
of all precedents of preceding Presidents
and that Cass is pledged to follow his foot.

The GovERsoR OF VERMONT delivered his
message TO the Legislature on the 10Th. II
is brief and able paper, warning the state
law makers Of the necessity of general educa-
ton and careful legislation. Two of the
principal topics discoursed upon, are the ques-
tons of slavery and education. The Governor
says Vermont cannot and will not quietly sub
init to the extension of Slavery over T. S.
Territory now Free. The message concludes
as follows:
"A copy of the memorial Of the inhabitants
of the County of Misssquoi, on the subject of
obstructing the navigation OF the waters OF
Lake Champlan communicated by the Charged
4 fairs of her Britanic Majesty to the Depart
mcnt of State Of the United States, has been
transmitted from that Department to this and
it, with sundry communications from other
States and public bodies, will shortly be sub
mtted TO you"
Education Of all, ;" says the message, sis
now demanded. lnquisitive men long since
found out that there is no such thing as that
which literary fops have called the vulgar
mind The artificial distinction Of the past
are yielding to the claims of common sense and
common justice, and it is foreshadowed that,
in our country, if not elsewhere, man is to
rank by the measure Of his intellectual ability
and the degree of his moral worth" The
Governor also suggests that political science
should be introduced into the Common Schools
