of country which is known by the

attractive, well timbercd, and fertile
area Of country, lying Immediately
west of the Rocky Mountains, in mild,
temperate ATTITUDES, to which, for the
purpose Of distinct allusion, he applies
the aboriginal term. The area is about
fifty miles broad, and lies parallel to
the Rocky Mountains for a distance Of
several hundred miles. 1t gives rise

Our State Convention has assembled
and done its work. Our candidates
arc nominated. Their names head the
columns of every Wing paper in Yer
mont. Around them all true Wings
will rally: for them and for the princi.
pies they represent all true Wings will
do battle A good old-fashioncd Wing
victory is needed more now than at
any other time. We wish to show to
our enemies that the Wing party Of
Vermont is by no means disheartened
by the late national defeat. We wish
to prove to all croaking prophets that
no disaster, no motives of policy, no
hope of station, no fear of evil, can
for a moment shake our confidence in
the principles We profess. We have
some pride in this matter. We believe
that the waves of locofoco misrulc
must be checked somewhere why not
in Vermont. Can we not turn the
tide? Can we not set the waters rol
ling over their own heads ? The Wings
of the whole country are looking anx-
iously to see what We can do. They
do not yet expect to see 'thc Star that
never sets" twinkle for the last time.
Our victory will do much to encourage
them. 1t will be the first step towards
new order of things. Other steps
will follow in their season. 10 accom-
plish this we must WORK. If every
Wing will do what is encumbent upon
him Vermont is safe Cdledonian.

Election, Tuesday, September 9th.


The great empire of Asia. China, is
the scene of revolution, the nature and
progress of which We, at this distance,
cannot ascertain with much precision !,
Yet we believe it to be remarkable
movement, and one that will have mo.
mentous results. That singular nation
has continued almost at a perfect stand
STILL at the point of differentiation, for
the last two or three thousand years.
All new ideas and improvements have
been excluded. They have remained a
distinct, exclusive people. We hope
much from this rebellion, in bringing in
an entirely new state Of things.
In Europe, the vast empire of Russia
seems to be making bold push for the
extension Of her power and domain.
Though the latest Intelligence appears
somewhat more pacific, we sec no posi-
bility of escaping from general Euro
pean war; unless the Autocrat shall d.
rectly rccedc from the position he has
taken, and withdraw his demands upon
Turkey. The latter power has justice
on her side, and France and England
have agreed to sustain her in the rights
she has no intention of surrondering.
Should active hostilities in reality ccm-
mencc, a desperate and terrible struggle
must ensue, unparalleled except in the
days Of Napoleon.
Democratic divisions are manifestiDg
themselves everywhere The harmoni.
cins policy of the Administration i'll the
bestowal of Office has proved, as we pre-
dictcd, a signal failure. In Georgia,
the Union Democrats are acting with the
Wings. In New York. well-informed
politicians on both sides are expecting a
complete revolution at the next election.
There has been but little rain in this
section, for few weeks past, and as Il
consequence the prospects of the hay
crop are now much less favorable than
carly in the season.
Delegates to the Rhode Island Con-
stitutional Convention were elected yes
terday. We have no returns.
In Massachusetts, the Constitutional
Convention is still in session. 1t appears
to be, what no body of the kind should
be, strongly partisan convention. The
proposed basis of representation is gross.
ly unfair and unequal, giving a grea,
advantage to the Anti-Whig portions OF
the state. The secret ballot system has
been agreed on as part of the constitu
tion.
From the Mesilla valley VIC have nc

has the Administration disclosed any
more clearly the course it intends to pur.
sue on this question. Meantime, Gen
