To The Editors Of the ETamiAer:

GENTLEMEN; The popular vote in Vermont,
yesterday, on the question of licensing the sale
Of ardent spirits, may perhaps be worth your
notice. Two years ago the State voted against
licensing by a majority Of about 5000. Last
year the vote was for license by a majority Of
about 100 reaction 1'hereupon, licenses for
the sale Of spirits were generally granisd--fOur
times as much liquor was sold as the previous
emo license year'') year-drunkenness again
appeared in the streets Aaother reaetioa-th.
fruit Of sxPerience-has taken place, and flom
present appearances ii is probable that the pop
ufar vote Of yesterday has given ono license" a
majority of $4,000, perhaps $4,000.
The experiment" Of this kind Of legislation
has perhaps been more fairly tried In Vermont
'han In any other State The public opinion
seems now to have settled in favor Of the law.
lsuggest these hints, not for publication, but
that you may, If convenient, notice the matter
yourselves

Ex-Gov. McDowELL.-This gentleman has been
suggested in some quarters MS the probable candi-
date of the Democracy for the Office of Speaker of
the House OF Representatives. gentleman by
birth, by education, and by association, many
worse selection might be made, We do not think
he could be induced to degrade that elevated office,
it was degraded in the days of jackson, to
defaulters and conceal public abuses. But it has
been also suggested as circumstance likely to
prove fatal TO his aspirations, that he is not sound
the Wilmot proviso. He refused to sign the
Southern address, that test of Democratic ortho-
doxy; he vilipended Mr.. Calhoun during the last
Spring canvass, not with the coarseness, but with
the gusto of Benton, and he is supposed to synnpa
thize with the Missouri Titan. The Rockingham
Register, however, has volunteered to endorse him
as the right thing 1t deals in generals and does
not condescend to particulars The Harrisonburg
Republican thereupon ventures to speer few tight
questions at its contemporary. 1t wishes to know, if
he does not agree with Benton nor Calhoun with
whom does he agree? The Wings occupy the
middle ground-does he agree with them? The
Republican states, that there distrust the sub
ject among the Democracy of that region.
And it has been Informed good authority, that
Judge Bayly had said, that he would not support
Mr.. Mcdowell for any thing. Mr.. Cobb of Ga,
the only other Democrat spoken of for the same
post, occupies the same position that MIR. Mcdowell
does He refused to sign the Southern address, and
is bitter in his denunciation of Mr.. Calhoun. How
the gentlemen will settle the difficulty, time will
disclose. Probably they will find it quite agreea
BILE convenient to give their support to the dis
tinguished gentleman, who presided with so much
ability over the late House of Representatives.
