Raleigh Register exults over the election in Vermont,
and claims the result in that State as triumph for
the cause Of the Union and Of Rspnblican princi-
pIes.' That paper says:
"TEE STAR THAT NEVER SETS" The noble State
of Vermont is still true to herselH She has Just
given fresh proof of her fidelity to the Union and her
cherished Republican principles. At her annual cleo
tion, on Tuesday of last week. notwithstanding the
vile extensive and avowed coalition which existed
there proud to state that the Wings succeeded
in electng their rcandidate, Professor Meacham, to
Congress, to succeed Mr.. Marsh, in the third Dis
trct of the State; and that the whole State has gone
for the Wings by large majorities. =
North Carolina in the South. and Vermont in the
North, are indeed the g Stars that ,,eper sci.
Now let us see what sort of starr this is that
never sets, and who this Professor Meacharn is at
whose election the Register expresses so much pride
and qualification. We foresaw this result, and dur
ing the campaign in Vermont we kept an eye upon
that quarter, 70 see what was said and upon what
issues the battle was fought. w laid aside the doc
uments, and We now have them before us and we
now challenge the Register, in advance, to attempt
the first line in reply, after we shall have disposed
Of this matter in the present article.

know of no man better qualified for a stump
orator than Professor Meacham and that he will be-
elected there can be no sort of question. Some of
ms hgures and Illustrations were beautiful, and his
Wlt and sarcasm sharp and pungent. The Wings Of
charlotte are strongly tnctured with Free Soilism,
and Prof. Meacham's object was to ahoto them that

ing clearly that the Wings of this Congressional
District have selected one of their very best men to
represent them in the National Legislature s
Here it will be seen, the great object Of the Wing
candidate was to coRyince the Vermonters that the
Wings of the Union, as party, were the only body
of men who had heretofore opposed the extension of
Slavery; and upon this ground, together with the
assurance which he felt the Freesoers had received
from Gen. Taylor to the effect that he would veto
the Proviso, he based his appeal to them to vote
for him. Mr.. Dillingham;, be it remembered, upon
whom he came down "like stream of burning Iaya,'
is an Old Hunker Democrat and opposed to any In
tcrfcrcnce by Congress in the question of Slavery
Which section has been cheated North Carolina
Wings declare that Gen. Taylor should approve the
Wilmot Proviso, they will desert him aud denounce
him; while Professor Meacham, Vermont Wing
member Of Congress- boldly announces in the face of
the world, that if he does approve the measure he
will abandon him. Which section of the Union, we
again ask, has been deceived and imposed upon.
But our proof as to this Freesoil triumph in Yer
