THE VERMONT DEMOCRACY

We announced some days since the election of the
Hon. John S. Robinson as Governor of Vermont by
the Legislature of that State We stated also that
Mr.. Robinson is sound national Democrat; but the
story has gone abroad in the Wing papers that he
his election to coalition with the freesoiers
If this fact were true, we should be compelled to
withdraw entirely the qualification which mis- election
gave to us. That no such coalition was formed for
Gov Robinson's election have the fullest assur-
ance in the following article from the New Hampshire
Patriot:
"DEMecRATIc GovERNoR IN VERMONT. On Thurs
day last Hon. John S. Robinson, the democratic can
ddate, elected Governor by the Legislature of
Vermont The vote on the final ballot stood as fol-
lows Robinson 120 Fairbanks (whig) 1O4, Brainard
Qreesoler) 10. About half of the freesoil members
voted for Robinson The Boston Post speaks of the
new Governor follows
:" The new Governor of Vermont, Hon. John S.
Robinson, is man of whom the democracy of that
State justly proud His personal character an
able and high-minded is commended on all
hands, while his political character and course as
staunch and thoroughly national democrat have new
er been questioned, and will stand the closest scru-
tiny Although he is indebted for his election por
ton of the freesol and considerable number Of Soig
UOtes in addition to the entire democratic strength in
the Legislature yet he is above suspicion of feesoil
taint having voted for every regular democratic
inee for the Presidency from jackson to Cass and
Pierce, inclusive, and has twice been the candidate
of the old-lne' democracy of Vermont against the
freesol nominee. In point of talents Mr.. Robinson
stands higher than any man who has occupied the
executive chair of Vermont for many years, and we
congratulate the democracy of that State on their
choice and success ;"
AS portion of the freesoil members voted for
Robinson, and thereby secured his election it has
been feared that there was bargain understand
ing that the democrats shall aid in the election of
freesoer to the United States Senate. But we have
the most positive from friends there who
know all about the matter that there is no such un
derstanding-that proposition of the kind has
been entertained by our friends-that they adhere
to their determination to elect to the Senate true
democrat do their best to keep the seat vacant
and that the only bargain in relation to Senator that
has been talked of was proposed by the wings, who
offered, by resolution in open caucus, to support o.
L. Shafter, outand-out abolit!onst, for Senator
condition that the eesoiers would give the wings
the control of the State government. We are glad
that friends are resolved upon this course, and
hope they will adhere to it to the end. And relying
upon their that the election of their Gov
is not the price of any Abandonment of prin-
cple, rejoice in their success, and congratulate
them upon it"

For the Standard
Results Of Abo1itiomism an the Island Of jamaica
Your readers will remember that a few years ago
the English Government, in its ambitious haste to
set example to the United States in the cause of
human freedom, abolished slavery in Jamaica.
When this edict went forth from the British Par
lament, that Island was vast paradise Astounding
as it did in tropical fruits and flowers with rich
soil, we'll cultivated estates independent planters
prosperous merchants and artisans and a contented
happy population of whites and blacks Now, and
for long time past, the scene has changed-the wi
thering blight of abolitionsm fell that beautiful
Isle, and made it the abode of misery poverty in
subordination. Honest were legally despoiled
of their propertythe relation of master and slave
was dissolved, thousands of the sable gentry were
elevated to the dignity of freemcn and turned loose
on society metamorphising the garden into wider
neSs-.he Eden into He'll
But the reader form more correct idea of the
condition OF things there from the following extract
taken from leading Jamaica Journal under date of
October 12th suggested it seems by the arrival of
new Governor for the Island. Let usguard against
the fanaticism and false philanthropy which would
lead to such results in midst:
Ere this article meets the eye of the reader Sir
Henry Barkly will have been inaugurated as Cover
nor of Jamaica. We envy him not the task which
the command of his Sovereign has imposed upon
him. There is enough in the aspect of our social
and political horizon to discourage the stoutest heart
The bulk of the people poor, and poverty is usu-
ally queruous and dissatisfied. They have Just cause
for complaint for they crushed beneath the weight
of exorbitant taxation A fearful score has been
running up against the Treasury; vast amount of
revenue has been lost; our finances disordered;
public and private credit at low ebb; savings bank
payments have been suspended; clergymens widows
and orphans distressed Judges rectors and curates
seriously ineonvenenced. Every important interest
in the Island is in languishing state The Planter
counts thrown up estates by scores mercantile and
professional prospects are sad and gloomy. Insol-
vent notices in The Jamaica Gazette by Authority

and Operatives. large proportion of the laboring
