VERMONT ELECTION.

We publish under the appropriate head
all the news we have from the State OF
Vermont, where Wing principles are al
ways predominant. Our telegraphic ar
engagements are sadly out of joint, or our
returns would have been much fuller than
they are. The news is good, and more of
it would be better. We greet the auspi-
cious opening of the campaign that Yer
mont presents, and offer her as an example
that any State might well be proud to fol
low. The Green Mountain Boys have
never faltered from the days of the Revo-
luton, downward. Whoever else has
failed, their duty at least has always been
done
The Vermont election is the first blow
at tie windy heap of brag and pretense
that our opponents have been laboriously
collecting for some weeks. If we are not
mistaken, the election in MAINE on Mon
day next will be of a still more significant
character. We are not willing now to
compound for anything short of one-half
of the delegation in Congress from that
State, majority of the State Senators
elected, and a handsome proportion of the
members Of the Legislature.

LOCO-FOCO BRAGGING

The nomination of Gen. Scott by the
Wing Convention at Baltimore, caused
CONSERVATION and dismay to our opponents.
For weeks after that nomination the ludg-
ment prevailed throughout their ranks that
they were beaten. The sounds of woe
were undesirable. At length rally was
decided upon by them. They determined
10 make an effort TO breast the current
that was plainly to carry all before it.
They Justly considered that unless a stand
was res olutely made, the rOut was plain "
to be overwhelming. The cry, therefore,
was, "All Is not lost" Wait the assem-.
bling Of the Pittsburgh Convention. That
may turn the scale in our favor. Wait
the result OF the North Carolina election.
Something may "turn up" there. The
Pittsburgh Convention came. Hale was
nominated. Glory! hallelujah ex-
claimed the Loco Foco press. The North
Carolina election took place. Good
again. Something has turned up"
Our political Micawbers were 10
ec.tacies. Hale's nomination, and Reeds
election in North Carolina, were reckoned
sufficient stock in trade for them to com.
mence extensive political operations upon.
This they have done with a tremendous
swagger. Forthwith they believe in Salt
River no mere. As a spendthrift who, al
ter getting reduced to his last shirt and
his last shilling Unexpectedly finds him
self stumbling upon a windfali of a cool
hun dred, considers himself made AMIN
and forthwith buys a new suit, redeems
bis gold headed cane at the Jews. and
launches out upon the pavement. the
dashiest man shoat, making a great swell
upon very small capital; so do our Loco
FocO friends. Reduced to the greatest
straits, they got fortunate streak of luck.
and it has elared them beyond measure.
They have been in a jolly tickle now for
hard upon a month. They believe that
Reds election indicates that North Caro-
lima is In doubt and that Hale's nomina-
ton gives Ohio to Pierce. And thus they
affect to believe, and we imagine MANY do
believe, that Pierces election Is secure.
Regarding Ohio as the great battle. ground,
