TO TIE WINGS OF VERMONT.

The undersigned owe an apology. or a.
least an explanation. to the Wings Of Yer,
mont for delaying for so long time to ill
the vacancy of Lieutenant Governor, occa-
stoned by the Icclina,ion of Hon O. l.. shat
ter.
Mr.. Shaiicr informed the Committee soon
after the CONVENTION al Rutland that he had
made engagements TO 90 West corly in the
fall. to be absent year or more, and must
decline the nomination. The Frccso;l and
Mass Conventions were called at Montpelier
about the time of the hcrlination of Mr. Shat
ter, and the undersigned were unanimous in
the opinion, that ina>much as the Wing State
Convention had adopted the principle Of
nomInatin. a Frcc>olcr for Lieutenant Gov
cr"o:, we ough: to carry out that policy, but
= Montpelier on the 18th inst, and then adopt
that nomination with the expectation that
Judge Royce would be nominated at the
Mass Convention for Governor, but in that
we were disappointed, and since that time We
have been correspondent. with each other in
relation to filing the vacancy OF Lieut. Gov
emo. and Notwithstanding the rejection of
JUDGE Eovcc. we still adhere to our former
views and policy: consequently we sut>ti-
tutc the name OF General RYLAHp FLErCn-
EE Of CavcEd>h, instead of Mr. Shattcr, am,!
leave the question Tor the people to settle at
the polls whether the great ard desirable de-
mons;raion shall be given to the propacan-
dists of Slavery by triumphantly cicrtins the
ticket of ROYCE, FLETCHER & BATES.
or by division Us to men, suffer the shame and
disgrace Of Il defeat Of an election lv the pco-

That was indeed the fact but one bank of
snow, or rather snow arch, still remains.
which | visited yesterday in company with
Mr.. SpAULDING of Lancaster, n. H., and Mr..
f. MOVES, of Boston; which with other new
discoveries will try to describe. The snow
arch lies in southeast direction from this
place, about one mile distant, in ravinc
iblc to all gentlemen who can walk mile
over roads into deep ravinc. The length
of the snow is 26O feet, 40 feet deep, and so
feet wide. \ small stream passes under this
immense snow bank forming an arch some II
feet high and 80 feet long. A party took
dinner in the arch few days ago. The
stream that forms this arch falls some 100
feet and is called the falls of a thousand
streams, under which and by a projecting
rock discovered very comfortable and ro-
mantle pass to the snow By the point last
mentioned is perpetual rain caused by the
fall and spray of the water. This is indeed a
point worthy of notice, and is acknowlcdc-
ed to be so by all who have visited it. Par
ties can descend from this house. pass under
the water, and into the snow arch and return
again in two hours. Or whole ,,av NAV be
passed very pleasantly in and about this ra-
vine. which affords the most rare and sublime
scenery in the region Of the White Mountains
But lest should weary your patience will

is my purpose, whether in prosperity or adj
ver>ity, at home or abroad, in public or in
private life, to reduce them to practice. At
this important crisis in our national and s.ato
affairs, had not another candidate been in
nomination for the same office, known TO
cherish sentiments in unison with NV own.
and in accordance with those adopted at the
Mass Meeting. should have as readily ac
cepted the nomination as now respectfully
decline it. Permit me TO express the hone
that my declcnsion Of the nomination
which honorcd me altogether bevoni NV
deserts, may lead to more perfect bond Of
union in the Brotherhood of Freedom.
