The PEoPLE's TicKEr--Wc are glad
to notice from the Brattleboro RcpuJi-
can and Woodstock Standard that es-
scntially the same ticket We present is to
be supported in at least two other strong
counties. The nominations in the Rcpu6
Hcan are identical with those We pub.
lish. The attempts of tho Montpelier
anti reform papers to put down popular
nominations, by asserting that they were
previously got up by secret convention,
will appear more plausible. and certain
ly more sincere when they can inform
us at what puJiic meeting their own was
concocted. If it were true, as the Patri
OF has said, that some of those we support
were agreed on in secret by a conven.
ton of tour hundred citizens from all
parts Of the State, how much worthier
of public regard would lis own ticket be,

The Committee of tho Senate on
Military Affairs, understanding that Sc
rious differences of opinion existed
between the Executive authority
Of The United States and the au.
thorities Of some of the individual States
respecting the relative powers of the
General and State Governments over the
militia, deemed it an incumbent duty on
them to ask for information upon that
highly interesting subject, with view
of interposine, il found practicable, some
legislative provisions for the mutual ac-
commodation Of such differences. For
this purpose, on the Tih of January last,
in virtue of Instructions from the com
mittee, letter wcs addressed to the hon.
orabe Secretary for the Department of
War, q copy of which accompanies this
report and, in reply thereto, the com
mittee received from him the letter and
documents which also accompany this
report.
Although the return Of peace has,
for the present, relieved the committee
from the necessity of providing legis.
lativc remedy for these unfortunate diff
ferences, yet the committee conceive
that the points in question are of vital
importance to the essential rights and
powers of the Government of the United
States, and that the pretensions of the
authorities Of the States of Massachu.
sets, Connecticut, and Rhode Island
set up in opposition thereto, if now ac-
quiesced in. might be resumed by the
State authorities in the event of a future
war, and thus deprive the Government
of the United States of some of its most
efficient, legitimate means representing
such war with vigor and effect, the com.
mttee have, therefore, thought proper to
present the papers concerning this sub
jet to the Senate for consideration.
Whilst the committee will refrain
from entering into arguments to fortiry
the grounds taken by the Executive
Government on this subject, and explain
ed in the letter Of the Secretary for the
Department Of War, they feel them
selves impelled by sense of justice to
express decided appreciation Of CON
duct in supporting and preserving the
Constitution of the United States against
the effects Of the pretcnsions of the State
authorities aforesaid, which, after full
consideration, the committee believe not
warranted by the Constitution nor dc.
ducible from any fair and just inorrro.
tation of its principles aud objects. The
direct and inevitable tendencies of those
pretensions in the opinion of the com
mittce, would be to deprive the Govern
mcnt Of the United States of powers es.
sentially necessary to insure theco mnuon
dqcnce, one of the great objects com
mitted to its charge, to introduce dis
cordant and contradictory counsels into
the National deliberations, upon point.
too, Of all others most requiring union of
thought and Of action; to change the
fundamental character of the Constitu-
tion itself and thus eventually to pro.
duce its destruction by facilitating the

tent to the great objects of its nstitu.
ton. and to substitute in its stead the

We have to-day placed at the head of
our columns complete ticket for Coun-

consideration of all those who are I'M
willing to adopt the Montpelier editorial
nominations. a large share of the coun-
ties have held conventions for the pur-
pose Of making nominations, and we have
invariably adopted the nominees thus
presented by the peoplc,without distinc.
ton of party. The remainder Of the
ticket is filled out on the suggestion of
prominent men 10 those counties where
conventions have not been held. We
know of no fairor method of procuring a
full ticket, and we trust it will be sup
ported at least in the counties where
popular conventions have been held. We
believe all the nominees will be found o
be good and true men, and that the nc.
tion ofthe council, should they be elect
cd, will accord with the wishes of the
