Vote of Vermont,---OmciaI.
The Republican Vote.

The vote thrown for Col. Fremont at the
recent election was the greatest compliment
ever yet paid to any candidate. 1t was the
hearty approval of the intelligence and worth
of the country. Take the statistical columns
of the Census, and the figures which tell you
where schools and churches and Libraries
abounds tell you also where the republican
majorities roll up. New England, where the
average of adults who cannot read is one in
four hundred, gives Fremont 1870, 900 MAORI
ty-while in South Carolina where the
average of white adults who cannot read is
one in sir, Mr.. Buchanan has it all his own
way. 1t is so throughout-and the fact
troubles that portion of the Buchanan party
who still retain some of their respect for edu-
cation and morality. They strive to avoid
the inevitable conclusion, like the Washing
ton Union by sneering at priest ridden New
England" or like the chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee who in his recent
speech in Burlington, paid his own State the
compliment Of saying that it was more given
up to all the ismS which affict mankind than
any other portion of creation. Such things
are easily said, but they tell against the shall
low utterer. The public. generally, know the
difference between intellectual light and
darkness; they know the worth of that eleva-
ton which comes from the spread of know
ledge and religion-and they are not slow to
draw the proper inference concerning the
character of the party whose strongholds are
Platte Co. Missouri and Berks Co. Pa and
the Five Points of New York.

Illinois,

The electoral vote of Illinois is, it seems.

siderable increase in the popuatio on, the re-
ported majority for Buchanan is 3O53 lqrgcr

ance is the most hopeless, in which there are few
school houses and those few of the lowest order in
