Fremont Flgg.-The Flag recently purchased
by the young fremonters Of our village, was given
to the breeze at O'Clock on Saturday afternoon Of
last week. Its advent was hailed by three very
faint cheers. We thought Of the time when the
world was to give one united, tremendous cheer,
but each man thinking that his voice would not add
much to the noise, remained silent to listen to 9TH
ers the consequence was that instead Of great
hurrah there was mighty silence. Happily. the
enthusiasm felt for the candidates whose names are
inrcribel on the Flag-fRMoST and DAYroN-is
not TO be measured by noise II will be felt al the
polls.
Upon the Flag Is inscribed the motto-"Princi-
pie not Party" One Of our buchanan friends
more honestly than unwittingly said that the device
on the flag Of his party should be "spoils not Prn-
cipe,' for spois was what they we're after.
Amer the raising the crowd assembled at the
Town Hall, where speeches were made by L. Kirk
land, ESQ, J. D. Bradley, Esq, and Rev. D. II.
Ranney, and most excellent music was discoursed
by the Brattlcboro Cornet Rand. The Hall was
crowded to its full capacity, ad much enthusiasm
was then manifested, although the meeting was en-
tirely imPromptu.
Buchanan Fldg.-Big posters are plaearded all
about in this vicinity announcing the raising Of
Buchanan Flag in this village, on Monday next,
and the presence Of distinguished Democratic
speakers from abroad to assist on the occasion. b.
+. Hallcit Of Boston, two Ingersolls Of Connecti-
cut, Gov. Hubbard Of New Hampshire and II. T.
s,oughton Of Bellows Falls are on the list. With
this addition to their ranks, we presume the Bueh-
aners will muster sufficient strength to raise their
flag. The " friends Of Freedom without FIRE.
mont are invited TO be present.
We admire the grit Of the few Buchanan men
in this vicinity. They bleed freely, like martyrs
in their cause They work earnestly, for with
some Of them II is case Of life or death-ofheal-
ly. with good music we think they will draw a
toleraby full house, even from the ranks Of those
who do not approve Of their principles but desire
to see such rarity in this state as a Democratic
meeting. We hope they will have q good time II

I Pfer Of Brdn'eboro.-The Lithograph, giving a
view Of our village, Of which we have heretofore
made mention, has made It's appearance Ills en-
graved fr0man ambroiype taken by Mr. j. L. Lowell
and is published by Mr. John Baehelder. Thisen-
craving is executed in the bes, style and we feel
quite that the subscribers to the work will be
fully satisfied. Mr. Bachelor has executed his task
with fidelity and prumptncss qualities that are too
oiten wanting in those who commence similar I'M
dertakings. We understand that copies Of this
I View will soon he for sale at the book stores d
Messrs .sieen & Son, and W. FELTON,. All who have
been are residents Of this beautiful village, which
is here so accurately represented should possess
copy. The price is moderate rs to place ii with
in the reach Of all. Subscribers will receive their
copies in a few days.
couaiy C0areafioH.-Ws understand that a
call for a convention Of such Of the Frecmsn Of
the County Of Windham as are opposed to the
Amendments to the Constitution Of this State, rec
commended by the recent Council Of Censors,
changing the basis Of Representation and the
mode ofelccting members Of the General Assembly,
for the parpose o. nominating candidates for Del
egates to the Constitutional Convention is in cir
culatiOn in Pill the towns in the county. This is
rs il should be. We wish to see this matter kept
alo,f from party politics aud made to stand or fall
on its own merits The late Democratic County
COnvention did, in our opinion, an unwise thing
in nominating purely partizan ticket at a party
meeting The opponents Of this portion Of the rec
concentrations Of the Council Of Censors are to be
found in both Of the present organisations, fact
which renders party nominations not only uncaled
for but unjust The people will not submit to
being thus ove--ridden merely for bunkum. Let
the call be numerousy signed
Preaoat -heriiag at Bellors Falls. A meet-
ing Of the friends Of Fremont aud DAYTON was
held at Bellows Falls on Thursday. Delegates were
present from nearly all the towns on both sides Of
the Connecticut, and from many towns in the in
terror. Not least among these was one Of more
than sixty old Democrats from Chester. Four
Bands we're in attendance, on each from Bellows
Falls, Windsor, Chester. and Keene, N. II. The
Deluge engine company from Claremont, and the
Bellows Falls military company were also on hand
Capt. Walter Taylor of Bellows Falls was Chief
Marshal.
Hugh H. Henry, Esq, Of Chester, life long
Democrat, was President, and made neat and
appropriate speech at the opening. Speeches were
made by i. Kirkland, Esq, Of Brattleboro, Hon.
Jacob Colaner Of the United States Senate, Hon.
NJ. Evarts, Esq, and Hon. L. D. Culver Of New
York, and I. NJ. Edwards, ESQ, of Kecne, N. II.
The speaking was Of the highest order, and the
enthusiasm reminded one Of the stirring campaign
Of 1910,
! Not the least among the interesting features Of
the occasion was the appearance of s2 young ladies
from Claremont, 81 Of whom we're dressed in
white and carried banners representing the differ
ent States. The other lady was dressed in MOURN
ing and the banner was shrouded in memory Of
Kanlas. 1t was touching scene.
