Election.

1t may be thought superfuous to urge
upon the Republicans of Vermont. the
importance of being at the polls next
Tuesday 1t is because we have reason
to believe that many, feeling the result
to be Just as certain without their atten.
dapce, will allow their business, or their
pleasure to divert them from on abso.
Lutte duty. Doubtless, the election of
our candidates is certain, but we have
duty which reaches far beyond the &C.
complishment of this. 1t is due to our.
selves and the Republican cause, that
every man shall do his duty that there
be such result as will not only secure
the election, but will prove to the whole
country. to friends and foes, that Yer
mont is in earnest in the great work. It
is a we'll known fact that the Democracy,
so called, are able, such is the discipline
in their ranks, at any time to command
the full vote of the party, and they are
never more certain to do it than when
there is with their opponents, a general
feeling of security. There is reason to
believe that the most will be made Of
the present OCCASION as will be seen
from the following specimen from their
Journals
The calm indifference which now pre-
walls in the ranks of the enemy should
be hint to the democracy of Vermont

Tt is a matter of satisfaction to u.s.
that on one point they have defined their
position, All other ports of their creed
are deficient in what is supposed to be
necessary to point; they have no pc.
sition. Bot they now plainly demand
the repeal of the restrictions upon the
sale of liquors. That the Democratic
party will in whatever concerns public
morals be below zero is a matter Of
course, and their announcement of the
fact does not alter the case at all though
it may attract to their ranks some of
certain class. We mention it that every
friend of morality may be admonished,
that be owes dnty to the state, which
he can perform only at the polls The
Democracy do not hope for success this
year but for next year they demand
an unconditional surrender ~ We
canno say that we have any fears of
such result nett year, but we do say
it is the duty of every Republican to
rebuke such impudcnce by bis ballot
Ver-nont is largely Republican, and will
remain 30, so long as the issues remain
what they are. But there is something
more required of Vermont The ma.
tional government is in the hands of the
Democracy, it is an administration which
knows no restraint bat the voice OF the
people, and to this it is sensitive.
There is another great struggle to
como, The way to prepare for it is to
strengthen the position we hold, and to
weaken those we do not. Vermont owes
it to the cause and to herself to speak
on this occasion, and on every other
similar occasion, in voice. that shall

The First District.

Our accounts from the first district all favora-
BILE to the election of Dr. Shaw. Mr. Smith is Meth.
er fish, flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring"
He agrees with Mr.. Buchanan as far as Mr. Buch-
anan agrees with him; he agrees with the Know
Nothings SO far as their principles coincide with his
own and he is an old line Whig so far as old line
Whig views meet his appreciation. That is very de.
finite, and ought to be satisfactory to every body,
and especially to the /" rest of mankind"
Mr.. Smith does not propose to represent the peo.
pie of the first district any fraction of them,
beyond the decimal called Mr.. Smith, He won't
represent the Democrats, he can't represent the old
lire Wings, and he has insuperable objections aga
inst representing the Know Nothings: therefore, he
wants to represent Mr.. Smith in the next Congress
He thinks Mr.. Smith ought to be represented, and
he proposes to represent Mr. Smith, and DO body
ese He is disposed to be very agreeable with every
body andevery thing that is agreeable to Mr.. Smith
but beyond that he fegns feels good deal of in
dignaton, and is not slow to show his disapproba-
ton of any thing and every body that disapproves
of Mr.. Smith. But he is the nominee of Know
Nothing convention, and therefore Mr.. Smith en-
bodies within himself what little remnant there is
of Know Nothingism and the "Nunco story"
has lost its magic, he is bound to be beaten
We have no objection to Mr.. Smiths going on to
Washington and representing himself in the next
Congress but as it is for his personal benefit we
think he ought to pay his own expenses and not at
tempt to make the people of his district impose
them on the general government. Let Mr.. Smith
pay the expenses of Mr.. Smith for Mr. Smith to rep
resent Mr.. Smith. .
DR.. Shaw, we understand, shows up his monde
script competitor with much skill and ability. He
plants hmselfon the Democratic platform and stands
immoveably on it. Mr.. Smith, conscious of his
weakness and the weakness Of his cause, Zone and
the same thng) pretends to be very indignant at
the personal attacks on him, as he calls them Any
thing against Whiggery or Know Nothingism-any
argument showing why Mr.. Smith should not be
elected, he construes into personal attack. But
the people will decide and will doubt make such
a" personal" attack Mr.. Smith that he will retire
with disgust to private life and pout out his ndig-
nation solitary and alone. x

Educational State Convention.


We have just returned from the Educational State
Convention, which assembled at Warrenton on
Tuesday last. In the absence of Prof Wheat the
President the Convention was called to order by E.
W. Ogburn, Esq. of Guilford. one of the Vice Presi
dents
Some twenty.seven Counties were represented by
about one hundred and twenty-five delegates.
On Wednesday, at IL o'clock, the writer Of this,
w. w. Holden delivered an address before the Con-
vention and large audience, on the subject of edu
cation and especially Of public instruction; and
Wednesday evening eloquent and interesting speech
es were delivered by Prof. Phillips, DR.. Alexander
Wilson, W illiam Eaton, Jr., Rev. Mr. Christian, and
Prof Webster
The Convention had not adjourned when we left
on Thursday. The greatest harmony and enthus-
asm prevailed.
On Thursday morning, an Educational State AS
sociation having been permanently formed, the fol-
lowing gentlemen were elected its officers for the
ensuing year: President, DR.. Alexander Wilson. of
Aamance Vice Presidents, E. w. Ogburn of Gull
ford, Prof. Phillips of Orange, William Robinson of
Wayne, W. H. Blake of Fayetteville, Prof. Walters
of Wake, Prof Johnston of Charlotte Correspond
ing Secretary, G. w. Brooks Raleigh; Recording
Secretary, w. II. Bass, of Warren.
The absence of Mr. Wiley, the State Superinten-
dent occasioned by severe Sickness was deeply felt
and regretted.
The hospitality of the people of Warrenton, and
of the surrounding country, manifested towards all,
was profuse generous, unbounded.
We gratied to see the public men of War
ren-headed by the venerable and distinguished
Weldon N. Edwards-come forward and take so
deep an interest in the proceedings of the Conven-
ton. But We have no time now to enlarge upon
the many agreeable Incidents nor indeed to give
any of the regular proceedings. They shall appear
in our next
But may add, for the encouragement of the
friends of education in all parts of the State that
the Convention was regarded on all hands
cessful; and that we look with confidence for the
most salutsry and happy results, not only from
this, but from the action of the State Association
which formed, and from future Conventions.
The good work is yet, it is true, comparatively in
its nfancy-6ut it aciU go on, difusing its benefits
and its blessings throughout every portion of our
beloved State.
