GENERAL QUALITIES CALLED FOR.

la the first place, above all other Offices in
any municipal government, the Mayoralty re.
quires thatits occupant should possess firm
ness, decision, and character. If the head
Of the government il weak vasoillating, I'M
decided, the same qualities will infect, more or
less, all the departments and all the officers
below him, or at the least. will affect all their
transactions and qualify all their doings for
what can they count upon, what can they do,
with positiyeness and certainty, under the
lead and auspices of such an officer ? OF ne
cessity the Mayor must, to a great extent,
give tone and character to tho whole city gov
ernment, and promote or compromise It's in
fuence 1t will, more or less, inevitably par
take Of his character. Now, does any one
doubt but that Mr.. Newton is timid, hesltat-
ing, lacking in judgment, confidence, and
decision? Is not that the general impress
sion, a fact understood, conceded, unques-
tionabler And have we not heretofore
shown to the satisfaction of every one, from
evidence presented, that such is the fact p
Such we believe 10 be the case. Let people
reflect upon it, and render their decision in
view Of it. On the other hand is Col. Cur
It's liable TO such charge? Does any body
believe it Does any body say SOP Does
not every body believe and say to the contra
nv? Most certainly. No such charge is toll
Grated. No such thought is entertained. He

stronp executive talent
SHOULD NOT BE THE FOOTBALL OF POLITICIANS
AND pEAAooGUEs.
In the next place, whoever occupies the Of.
fee should go into il with an eve to it's duties
In contemplating it, the end of his aim shoult
be the faithful fulflment of its obligations
and acquisitions. 1t should not be subordi
nate 10 any political maneuver, either IN res
pect Of party management and connection
or in respect Of personal intrigue and ambi
ton. Now the Democratic party have gon

personal qualifications, views Of city policy
and capacity for Office, are all subordinate t
that. If the candidates qualifications wer
either less or greater, if his opinions upor
municipal po!iey were the very antipodes Of
what they arc, if be We're oplnionated and

THE RAILROAD INTEREST.

There remains another consideration of
exceeding Importance to our people, and
which demands their most serious reflection.
We aliude to the railroad interest. That is
an interest which every body sees the impor-
lance Of; BY which every body can under
stand the public prosperity and future pros
poets Of the city are TO be powerfully affect
ed; which every property holder, every
tradesman, every mechanic, every day labor
er, feels that his interest is bound up and
identical with. And by no possible agency,
by no combination or body Of men, as
things stand, can they be affected so much
as they are liable to be by the men compos-

of the State, of the oyerrulng Providence
Of God n all i,s affairs. procession was
formed at The State House, under the drec-
ton Of Adiutant Gen. Kellogg, consisting
of all the officers of Government, and such
citizens as chose TO Join, and proceeded to the
Brick Church, led by the Mortified Band
The services at the Church were Of very
interesting character the discourse of DR..

rably adapted to the occasion. A new form
of iuauguraung the Governor was adopted.

sage which was read by the Secretary o.
State We give the message TO day. It il
highly cr,djable to the Governor, treats Of
the ordinary topics of state interest with
rather moro than usual iulness, and fifty
gives a prominence 10 tho Slavery question:
and the oulrages N Kansas, which, II persist
ed IN, may eventually demand imperatlvely
the interference of this State through ITS
government, for the defence of its own etl-
zsas on The disputed gronnd. The Governor
evidently ante pates the possibility Of such
an exgency ami, we think very properly
has lelt ,he matter to be determined by iu'

Crowning of an EmperOr.

Growing of an Emperor.
Detailed accounts have been re-
ccived OF the ceremonies preceding
the Coronation OF the Emperor Of
Russia. The following Paragraph,
descriptive Of the actual cruwulng,
is from the letter OF The correspond
ent of the London Daily News, da-
ted Moscow, September S
"The Emperor aud Empress being
seated on the ancient throne of the
Cars ia the Church of the Assump-
ton the rcgaha was properly aTang-
ed and another burst Of deyout har-
mony came from the Invisible choir
The metropolitan then presented d
profession OF hih which his lmpe-
rial Malest, mustread, and which he
did read ON this occasion with due
emphasis and discretion, The doc
ument which was exceedingly length

found silence relgnod lu the church.
immediately after the Emperor was
invested with the state maulle,
Taking the crown, an immense
one, blazing all over with diamonds,
up with his two hands, he placed il
on his head, thereby lnllmallng that
from no earthly power, prles,ly OF
lay, did he receive hl. sovereignty
Then making sign to the Empress
who knell suhmissIyely before him

This was a moment of intense inter

burst into tears, and the whole o
the congregation, as they fell ON lhel
knees Ia honor Of lae rite, sobhec
and cried like chiIdren. What his

Governors Message.

Fcliow Cid-eHs Of the Senate,
and HoVse of Representatives.
In assuming the responsible
station assigned me by the Free
men Of Vermont, l desire to
express to them through you,
their Representatives, the pro-
found sentiments of gratitude
with which this honor, so high
ly distinguished and so cordi-
ally conferred, has inspired me,
and to give them the assur-
ance of my most sincere devo-
ton to the interests of this
Commonwealth.
During the past year under
the protecting care Of a merci-
iul Providence, general health
has prevailed, a bounhful har-
vest mas rewarded the labors
Of the husbandman, and the
laudable and varied pursuits of
our citizens have been prose-
cuted with merited success.
For these continued bless
ings, it becomes us to make
a public and deyout acknowl-
edgment to that great and good
Being whose watchful Proyi-
dence and propitious smile have
been vouchsafed to the people
of this State during the vicis-
STUDIES of another year. In the
discharge of our high duties, let
us not only keep in mind our
obligations to those who have
committed their interests to our
care, but also recognize our ac-
countability to higher tribunal
than public opinion.
In conformity with ancient
usage, and in compliance with a
provision of the Constitution OF
the State, l respectfully suggest
to your consideration the follow
ing subjects, your attention to
which | deem important to the
interests Of our people
No more important subject can
possibly engage your attention,
as guardians Of the public intei-
ests, than the Education of the
People Of this commonwealth.
The natural principle of self.
protection imposes upon a State
the most assiduous care of this
important element of its pros.
perity The object and effect OF
a thorough system of Education
is to develope the latent powers
of the human mind, to bestow
upon the people knowledge, and
thus fit them for the proper dis
charge Of their various duties
in their relations to each other
as social beings and to the State
as citizens. A State, therefore
the government of which rests
solely in the people themselves,
can alone secure its prosperity
and perpetuity by thoroughly
educating that people, by training
and disciplining the popular
mind into development of its
best powers, and then widely
dif'using information and knowl.
edge, by the aid of which those
powers can be brought to bear
upon their complex and impor-
tant duties as citizens.
