TION

Under an ordinance ordered by the late Council
Of Censors the freemen Of Vermont will be called
upon, on the first Tuesday in November the day
Of the Presidential elecon-to give in their votes
for delegates to Constitutional Convention, to be
holden at Montpelier the first Wednesday in
January next This convention is to take action
upon the amendments to the Constitution proposed
by said Council Of Censors 1t is to be composed Of
ninety delegates and these delegates are appor-
toned among the several counties in such man
ner that windham County is entitled to eight
Three sets Of delegates have been put in nominal
ton The first in the field were the Democrats, who
nominated clean party ticket pledged to oppose
all the proposed amendments. The second set of
delegates was nominated at meeting Of the free
men Of the county without distinction of party &C
cording to a call which was numerously signed in
nearly or qui tie all the towns in the county. That
convention passed resolution instructing the dele
gates to oppose all the propositions recommended
by the Council, on the ground that the manner in
which the Convention was called was clearly IN
constitutional, and in manifest disregard of the
right Of the several towns in the county to be rem
resented in said Convention. The third set was
nominated on Tuesday by convention anonymous
ly called and not very fully attended.
In our opinion the second convention, or that
held at Newfane on the eth ult, best represented
the sentiment of this county and therefore We shall
support It's nominees. II is true there are many
things in the present Constitution we should like
to see amended. We have long been an advocate

MAs LOST UPON THE WHITE MoUsTASs.-
MIR. Benjamin Chandler Of Wilmington. Del,
an old man IS years of age, left his home the
ith of August last for the White Mountains
He was traced TO the Glen House, and from that
place up Mount Washington, since which no
has not been heard from. About the time when
he might have been upon the mountains, voice
was heard at about II O'Clock at night, at the
Crawford House, and the sound apparently com
ing from Mount Webster, some Of the guides
proceeded with lanterns in search of it, but up
on arriving upon the mountains ii was lost. 1t
is supposed that he may have fallen over a
precipice or have lost The path. His son and
friend have been in search of him the past
week, bu, have given him up as lost. He was
subject to mental alteration, but at the time he
left home was supposed TO be well in that re-
spect.

was supposed, an alteration Of the present basis Of
representation
The convention Of Tuesday, as we learn from our
reporter who s perfectly reliable, was organized at
Knapp's Hotel, by the choice of 0. II. Plat, Esq,
as President and Secretary. Mr.. Plat was the
nominating committee, reported the resolutions,
and transacted all the other business. In fact Mr.
Plat was the only person present at the Conven-
ton. In other words he rus the Convention
The proceedings were Of course conducted with
great deal Of harmony The nominations, resoln-

harmonious convention has never been held in the
county, and it is supposed the "thusum' was i'm

nominated are will give their names to our read

THE RECENT ELECTIoNs-FINAL
RESULT,

The results Of the late elections in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, although not 80 favorable to the
Republicans as was anticipated by some, niiord no
just ground for belief that Col Fremont VIII not be
elected IN November But they DO show the Sc
rious appreheusions Of tho Democrats, and the IN
paralleled excrtions fair and foul, they have made
10 turn thc tide hat was rapidly setting in against
them. They have also aroused the Republicans to
renewed exortions in behalf Of theireandidate and
cause. exertions that we trust will be crowned With
success.
Pennsylvania has been carried against us by
majority Of only two or three thousand. To say
nothing Of the illegal votes cast in Philadelphia
alone-yo,es enough 10 change the entire result
the opposition to the Democracy had to contend no,
only against foes without but against treaehery
from within. 1t has been satisfactorily shown that
the chairman ofthe Fillmore & Donelson State COM
miitee in that state while acting in apparent uni
with the opposition was also in league with For
ney, and that thousands Of Fillmore men were in
duccl to vote the Democratic ticket. AT the Pres
dential election there will be three tickets in the
field and the Democracy will lose many Of these
votes that were given for their ticket last eek
On the other hand as oil the candidates on the
State ticket, voted for at the State election, were
known to be active supporters Of Fremont, and as
union electoral ticket has been torme'l with en-
tire harmony, II Is but reasonable to suppose that
Fremont will carry oil the strength Of the oppose
ton state ticket. Added to this is the vote Of many
thousand Quakers who seldom vote even at Presi-
dental elections, but who will vote this year against
the administration, aud We have the elements up
on which We predicate favorable result in No'eIn-
Der.
II is pretty generally conceded that Pennsylya-
MIA Is the Malakoh Of the contest that the caudi-
date who receives the electoral vote ofthat state will
be successful 1.-THE Republicans lose Pennsylva-
nia their hopes Of electng John G. Fremont are all
idle. That the Democrats regard the vote Of this
state indispensable to their success may be infer
red from the e1ertions they have made, and their
lavish expenditure Of money, to carry the election.
They have succeeded BY 80 small a majority tina,
it is virtually draw game.
! Elsewhere We pablish statistics relative 10 the
vote in Pennsylvania at the state and Presidential
elections by which 1, viii be seen that in 1870 and
lsls, we made great gains at the November over
the preceding October elections. In similar man
ner we gained in 1896 and 1852. Its not unreal
sonable 10 suppose that corresponding gains NAV
be made next month. when the above data are con-
siderod. which will surely give US the State. If

Forgery. A female Of mature years but Of un-
sound understanding was discovered on the steps
Of the Dratteboro Bank, by the Cashier on Mon
day She inquired for blank note. Two ofthcse
were given her. She soon returned with note
duly filed ont for $500, purporting to he signed
by herself and another female. The Cashier not
knowing the parties told her that II she would pro-
cure the name Of some well known responsible
man, she could have the money. She departed
and soon sent in another note for the amount,
signed by herself and containing the name Of re-
sponsible man IN this county. But the signature
did not appear genuine and the note was retained
at the Bank. The woman becoming alarmed sent
ior the note, which was returned to her upon con-
dition Of her leaving town Immediately. 1t is
needless to say she took the first conveyance and
