HI5@ The Burlington Sentinel pub.
fishes letter indicating the military
reputation @ of Gen. Pierce, and
says it should "causc the blush of
shame upon the face of those who are
daily slondcring the character of Gen.
Pierce" We have seen no greater oc
casion for shame than that n Iapcr
such as the Sentinel has heretofore
been should condcscend to mean and
pititul attacks upon veteran like
Gen. Scott, in the manner it has done
for weeks asst. We have seen no
SANDERS " against Gen, Pierce to
compare with that.
For instance, in the last number
of that paper, after indulaing in the
use of scnsclcss nickname {" Gen
lPiagfcM Scolt'), the editor pro-
cccds to say that the Wings have nom.
mated for their candidate one who
has been every thing and nothing
Warman, Pcacc.man, Wing, Adolf
ZIONIST, Native American, and heaven
knows what; one who has boon ready
at any time, during the last sixteen
years, to fully endorse the platform
with the resolutions annexed of any
Convention, national, sectional, fanat-
ical or otherwise, which squintcd to-
ward himself as its nominee"
Is language like this honorable Is
it decent ? Has it a particle of foun-
dalton in truth q? The article contin-
ues: Witness him in II, a full
blooded native American, rampant,
bclligcrent, " fired with Indignation !"
cooler in IA in '4S had got over it
entirely - felt better, and after the
maturest reflection" thought for
eigners pretty clever chaps after all ;
did not know but after five years pro-
baton they might be trusted to vote,
especially the wing portion of them"
That part of Gen. SCOTS letter of
acceptance relating to naturalized citi-
zens, the Sentinel characterizes as
nothing more nor less than weak
and silly attempt to catch the votes Of
our adopted citizens"
Comment on such billingsgate is
unnecessary. If Mr.. Sake is absent
from his post, something more than a
blush of shame" will be required tc
redeem the character of his paper
when he returns.

Resolved, That. hereafter in the ap-
pointment of delegates from districts
to the National Convention for nomin-
ating President and Vice President,
the districts in all cases should reserve
the right to he represented in said Con
vention by delegates elected at a meet
ing of the voters regularly called for
that purpose in said district.
The above appears among the res
olutions adopted by the Rutland Coun-
ty Wing Convention. 1t has no doubt
some very serious meaning, but what,
we are at a loss to discover. How "dis-
tricts" Sin the appointment Of dele
gates" to the National Convention, can
+" reserve the right to be represented
in said Convention by delegates" we
10 not understand.-Quere. IF the
appointment of delegates puts the said
right in jeopardy, would not second
appointment increase the risk? And
would not the only safe course be, not
to appoint at dH2-We feela great in
terest in this matter, because it no
doubt concerns the entire district.

AUGUST ELECTIoNs.-E Elections oc-
cur in Alabama, Iowa, and Missouri.
on the I'd of August, and in North
Carolina on the 9TH of the same month.
None of these states but the last
named ever elected a Wing Governor,
or a clear Wing Legislature. In
North Carolina, d. S. Reid, the pres
ent Democratic Governor, came within
S74 votes of an election in 1913,
though Taylor carried the State in
November following by $3.50 MAORI
ty. In 1850 Reid was elected over
Manly by 2,774 majority, carrying in
a Legislature Opposition by IA major
ity. Reid is nominated for reelection,
and will probably succeed-there be-
ing local influences greatly in his ia
vor. The State will nevertheless be
Wing in November, pretty certainly.

Discovery IN VIRGINIA.-Tb

Discovery IN VRGINIA.-The
Virginians have lately discovered a
macadamized road just opposite the riv
err at Paramount. The editor of the True
Virginian says he has seen it and that
the broken stone which ovcrlays it, is
of about the same size as that now used
for similar purposes. In the middle Of
the road was found a stump of u tree
which was ascertained to be hundred
and fifty years old at least, and how
much olderno man knoweth. This discov
cry is another proof that this continent
was inhabited long before its discovery
by Columbus, by race far more en-
terprising probably than the present
race Of VirgInians. The relics of an
ancient and high civilized people are
numerous throughout the West-but
few, We believe, have been discovered
as far East as Virginia.

The Fishery Difficulties.

We publish this week an official
statement respecting the difficulties
that have arisen on the northeastern
coast, in relation to the fisheries. The
English cabinet have seen fit to put
new construction on that portion of
the treaty of 1918 which relates to
this subject thereby excluding all A.
merican vessels from participation in
this lucrative and extensive business.
BY what right one administration can
absolutely set aside the positive dccis-
ion of Il previous administration in IA
vor of our citizens, Ga decision made
i'll 1S45,in addition to acquic celce for
years previous we do not see. The
ctsc is rot analogous to legislative
acts, which do not bind a subsequent
legislatu c, for definite Instruction
given to a treaty, in any particular,
certainly is or should be 6ual.
There is no doubt that the govern
ment of Great Britain is determined
to insist on this claim, at all hazards
The evidence of this will be found in
her ordering out formidable array of
armed cruisers to cxlcl every Ameri-
can vessel engaged iii fishing off the
coast Of the British provinces. A list
of these cruisers appears in the New
Brunswick papers, as follows;
Cumberland, 20, (aag, Sir G. F.
Seymour, Capt. Seymour Sappho,
II, sloop, Com. Cochrahc ; Devasta-
ton, 6. steam soop, 300 horse power,
Com. Campbell Buzzard, 6, steam
sloop, 5000 horse power, Com. -
Janus, !, steam sloop, 220 horse pow
err; Lieut.. -; Nctlcy, 3, ketch,
Com. Kyna @ton: Bermuda, 3, schoon-
err, Lieut.. Lolloy; Arrow, Lrigantinc ;
Telegraph, schooner; Halifax, ,, brig
antinc. Master Laybold Belle, 2,brig-
antine, Master Crowel Responsible,
,, schooner, Master podd ; Dning,
:, schooner, Master DAILY.
Some motive for all this, beyond the
mere trivial interest the British gov
ernmcnt has in securing monopoly Of
the fisheries, undoubtedly lies at the
| foundation of the movement. The
party to which Lord Derby belongs
has shown itself hostile to republics in
general, and to our own in particular.
Some things our PEOPLE have said
and done respecting Canada, and
the other Irovinces, have never yet,
We suppose, been quite overlooked.
Possibly they would like another war
with us, and are shaping matters with
that view. Other designs, however ARE
more probable. Whether they expect
to force us into their Canadian reci-
procity measures, into free trade in
general, or into some other concessions
which they deem important to their in
terests, we will not try to guess.
Time will show.
In the mean time our pOvernmant
is in the right hands. The rights of our
citizens will be maintained. No man
in the country could be so safely re-
lied on, to manage our affairs in such
juncturc, as the present distinguish
ed head of the State Department.
He will assume the true and just posi-
ton at the outset, and then tread no
step backward.
