ed as speaking adviscdly, and in accord
ance with the views Of its political friends
generally-thus speaks on this subject :
The democratic party in Vermont is
as thoroughly and reliably national as
the democracy of any other state in the
Union, Even those of its members who
were for time allied with the free soil
ers, have no wish to return to that or
ganization, having learned from their
own experience, and the history Of SINH
lar coalitions in other States, that they
are neither pleasant nor profitable We
repeat that tho Democracy of Vermont
have too much respect for their princi
pies and interests, and too cordial al
attachment to the Administration Of
General Pierce, to send to the United
States Senate any other than decidea
national Democrat, as clear from any
faint Of freesoilism on the one hand, as
from factious and mercenary superhunk
erism on the other. And such sena
tor they will elect, or, failing to do that
they will keep the seat vacant till they
have power to elect senator Of thei
own stamp, or, by the loss of the powe
they now have, (which may God forbid !

AN UNEXPECTED FoRTUNE.-In

on professional business, John Living

examining the unclaimed dividend
books Of the Bank of England, found
some $4,000 in reduced three per
cent. annuitics, standing to the credit
of Miss Penelope Lewis, who died in
1911, leaving two brothers, James and
Cornelius Lewis, both of whom had
previous to that date removed to this
country. Ga searching Doctors Com

are recorlcd) he found will of Miss
Lewis, devising this whole sum be-
sides other property, to the brothers
in America. On his return, Mr.. Liv
ingston advertised for the brothers.
but for some time no information could
be had concerning them. Some three
months since, however, they were
traced out. 1t was found that James
had died in Charleston, S. c., unmar-

and removed to New Orleans, where
be died poor leaving two sons-Jo-
seph Z. Leaois and Asa III. Lewis-

a printer, the other a clerk, at small
weekly salary. The necessary proofs
were at once taken, aud the brothers

tachmcnt to Vermont, felt by her sons
everywhere, no matter how far removed.
The following notice of some of the more
distinguished Vermontcrs will be gener
ally interesting
"Of the clerical profession, there was
DR.. Burton, the acute and indefatigablo
metaphysician, whose name will be re-
memberod SO long as the "taste and ex
ercise" controversy holds place in the
history of theological dialectics. There
was the lamented Wilbur Fisk, the first
President of the Wesleyan University
at Middletown, man of large and va
riea attanmcpts, knowing no superior,
perhaps, as an orator, in the denomina-
ton to which he belonged. There was
Professor Marsh, serene dweller on
the loftiest heights of science, fond ex-
plorer of the iuneImost rccesses of the
palace of Wisdom. There was Jeremi-
all Evarts, the friend Of the Red Man,
the VIM. Penn of recent times, the
prophet Secretary, whose vision Of our
country's destiny stirred SO nightly all
Christian hearts There was Royal Ty-
Ter, the man of letters and the able
Judge, concerning whose Charges it was
often doubtful which was the most 10 be
admired, the clcarncss of thought or the
beauty of the diction. There was WIN.
Chambcrlin, the learned professor in
my own almamatcr, whose star of bright
promise set so carly. There was Silas
Wright, too, the far seeing statesman
not unworthy to be associated in the
councils Of his country, with that trio of
great men whose names have just been
given to the tablet of history. If MAJ
speak of the living, there is Prentiss with
his ''mcekncss of WISDOM" and Phelps,
with his force and fcrvor of eloqucnce:
to both of whom the Bar and the Senate
have been wont to listen with defcrcntal
regard There is Collamcr, too, distir-
guishcd alike on the Bench and in th,
Cabinet There is George p. Marsl,
the man of many tongues, and of thought
varied and profound enough to freight
them all man of weight and marx,
both in the walks of legislation and tie

They agree to give their custom to

lists, who have recently made a profess
sion of democracy. lie speaks of their
nominees, as follows
Gone Of the conventions was uncon-
taminatcd by the presence of single
member ever known as an agitator of
principles or practices tending in any
degree, however slight, to disturb that
union and harmony. The candidates
put forth by it arc equally free from
rcproach. Turning to the contcmpla-
ton of the other convention, l find
that all its leaders were but recently
engaged in course of political agita-
ton directly tending to discord between
the Northern and Southern States. 1t
has indeed presented a platform of
principles unqualifcdly dcnouncing
that political agitation as dangerous to
the permancncy of the Union, and in
admissible among democrats; but when
it is considered that the leaders, with
one unimprcssive exception, expressly
withheld assent to that platform, or
repudiated it, the resolution adopting
it is not in my opinion entitled to any
confidence whatever.
One of the candidates nominated by
this body, who was himself member
Of it, refused his assent to these very
principles in the most emphatic manner
as lately as the month Of June, 1862.
AS FIR as is known to me, he still re-
pudiatcs them. 1t is prcsumable that
he fairly reflects the animus Of the
Convention which nominated him, and
l know no reason for surprising that
any Of lis associates on the ticket are
in this respect unlike him.
