The New Cycle.

The skies are still brightning. From every
quarter Of the dark heavens, we see the black
mass rolling away. New Hampshire, the old
life-guard Of the Democracy the common GEN.
tire, and the solid granite foundation of true
principles, has triumphantly loosed herself from
the pirate crew, and planted her banner upon
the ancient platform of the fathers of her coun-
try! She has cast out the enemies of Freedom,
who sought to lead her lambs to the slaughter
house She has emphatically refused to follow
that shepherd Of her flock who, after gaining
her confidence, sought to sacrifice her to his
own Unsuitable lusts.
Rhode Island is right! She too is assisting
the dawnng of the new cycle upon our nation.
Connecticut adds another shining light to the
darkened horizon.
Pennsylvania the State from which the true
Democracy had most to fear, is arraying hel
troops in a solid phalanx for the battle. Har-
mony crowned her counsels and actions at hel
late Convention, and we see union of the whole
force of the friends of Freedom, saying to hel
neighbors to 20 and DO likewise.
Kansas is fast filling up with true members
while the tide Of public opinion has 50 strongly
turned in her favor that not mouth aside from
Pierce vigilance committee and paid sentinels
can be found to utter IL word in opposition t
the Free State Government.
Between the hustlng wings of the Pierce De
mocracy the fight goes bravely on. Their, sel6sl
demagogues are wrangling and quarreling, Will
the " dragging" bands in every Northern Stat
are dir,ded, distracted, and with no commo,
bond TO bind them togcther." Like the strug
Cling dark, mysterious clouds of dispensing
storm, they are blown about by the sectiona
quarrels p" and distractions of the other states
while the lightning is scattering the tempest it
self to the four winds of the heavens.
The whole country is aroused, and joining i
the chorus, while leaping along the echong hills
comes the song of the New Cycle, whose smil
is dawning over the land" Liberty Freedor
is ours"

That q Distraction. "

The State can no longer look to Wings foI

once proud and decent party in its filthy clutch
1t is we'll known, therefore. in the State and

Union--tha only party whose leaders might MOI

understood and acknowledged and it remains
to be seen, which party-the Democratic or tht
Black epubican-under the circumstances
will be the growing party.
The above, from the Patriot, is suggestive. |
is strange talk for a protesting lead r of tn,
Democracy. Obliged to confess his " insgnif

There are thousands of voters who wilkno

The Proposed Amendments to
the Constitution,

As q general thing the papersn the State
have expressed no opinion upon the recommenda-
ton of the Council of Censors. The Middebury
Register, the Woodstock Age, the Brattlcboro
Republican and the Phqnir, the Mortified Star
and the Green Mountain Freeman go strongly
for the amendments. The Irasburgh Standard,
the St. Adams Messenger, the Bellows Falls
Argus the Waterman, the Patriot. and the
North Star are against the amendments. "
Patriot.
News to us
Now it does not necessarily follow that because
we are in favor of what there is among those
amendments that is good, that we are in favor
of what there is among them that is bad We
are in favor Of electing all officers by the direct
vote of the people-epen our postmasters. But
while we are in favor of so eocting all officers,
we are also in favor of having the direct vote of
the people; as near as practicable, upon the laws
for their gorernance. That the Patriot has
sinister, or other than honest, motives in pub
fishing the above false statement, acc are pre-
pared to believe. We are SO well acquainted
with the leader Of that Journal, that we do not
believe he could make an assertion, or do an act
through purely honest and disinterested philan-
thropy. His selfshness in conducting his journal
is apparent to US, from the fact that he has al
ways stood ready to jump upon the back of any
hobby, no matter how mean or despicable, and
to make any statements, no matter how false.

The Garden of Vermont.


We have for some time had our attention
directed towards the fertile Islands in
Lake Champlaiu,as being particularly worthy
of notice. The face Of the country is level
with sufficient rise to give fine appearance
to the scenery. While its luxurious shrub
bury in mid summer gives one the true inn
preston that it is the garden of Vermont.
The following from the Free Press is inter-
esting:
the figures below speak for themselves
Communities in which the value Of the agrl-
cultural products sold in one season averages
one hundred dollars for crery maa, womnm
and child, natiue and foreign, are, we think,
not numerous in this part oil the country, it
anywhere. This remarkable thrift in Grand
Isle County, is not the result alone of fertility
of the soil it comes from thorough cultiva-
ton and good farming. The same result can
doubtless be reached in other portions of
Vermont. If they have been surpassed any
where in one State, we shall be glad to know
it. We hope the amount Of Wheat raised
will be especially noted. If our recollection
serves, it throws into the shade some Of the
statements from other parts Of the State
which have been exhibited in the Country
Gentleman aud other papers, as well worthy
of notice.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
money so earned is not spent at the grog-shop

cluded in the above statistics We have then
1852 acres which have produced, including
potatoes, about 36 2 3 bushels per acre. 1t
should also be torn in mind that large por,
tion of potatoes rotted in the field and are not
included in the statistics.
This pIoughed land yielded nearly $25 per
acre. Could the statistics OF the remaining
towns of Grand Isle County be taken, the
amount Of grain produced, would be found to
be very great. Probably not less than $4,000
bushels of wheat have been sold or remains
to be sold, OF last years harvest 1t does
appear that Vermont can produce wheat as

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug g.
The vote at Raleigh for Governor is as fol-

showing gain for Bragg Of 81 votes.
For the Legislature Ross (Am.) has 10 ma
joriry in Wake county, with all but precincts
heard from; allowing these as before, there is
a clear Democratic gain of 100. The whole
Democratic ticket is elected by an increased
majority, and giving Democratic gain of one
in the Legislature.
The scanty returns from the lower counties
favor Bragg (Dem } who is doubtless re-elect-
ed Governor. The counties of Wake, John
ston, Orange, Allmanee, Guiford, Rowan and
Davidson have been heard from. The returns
show large Democratic gains In all the coun-
ties except Guilford, where Gilmer, the Amer
lean candidate for Governor, gains about 400
votes.
In the above counties there is Democratic
gain of five members of the Legislature. Paul
c. Cameron has been elected to the State SEN

cratic gain.
