When, if the alarming prostitution of
every department of the general govern
ment TO the nefarious behests of slavery
shall continue, the Supreme Court shall
declare authoritatively. what they have
already foreshadowed, that the Shareholder
may bring into the Free States his train
of slaves, and hold them there as bis
property, Notwithstanding the absolute
prohibition of slavery by their Constitu-
tons and laws, it viii then, in that day of
the doom of the Republic, by time for
Vermont and her sister Free States to
consider what course they shall take to
maintain and enforce a right she has
never yielded and will never surrender,
the absolute and total prohibition Of
slavery within her borders.
My grateful Acknowledgements are due
to the people Of Vermont for the honor
conferred by my reelection. The best
return l can make for the generous con-
fidence reposed in me, is the solemn
pledge here upon the threshold of my
duties, that my every effort shall be to
promote the highest interests Of our cher
ished Commonwealth.

THE PROSPECT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

From the tone of the democratic press and the
feeling which animates the democracy in their pr-
mary meetings, feel assured that the result of the
pending contest in Pennsyvania will be in keeping
with the brilliant trumphs which have been achieved
this month throughout the South by the friends of
the Union and the constitution. The Philadelphia
Argus in issuing the first number Of its campaign
paper, thus alludes to the prospects Of the
in Pennsylvania:

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

A despatch from st. Johns, ~ F., dated August
1s, says:
"As the fate of the enterprise for connecting this
island with Ireland will much depend upon the character
of the weather. we shall report the daily until the
telegraph fleet arrives at Trinity Bay Yesterday the
weather COOL with but little wind from the north
west To-day it is pleasant, and gentle wind from the
west.
Letters received by the last Liverpool steamer state
that the elegraphic fleet may be expected to arrive
at Newfoundland with the cable in twenty days after
leaving that place.
The English papers received by the Arabia con-
tain full and interesting accounts of the laying of the
shore cable of the telegraph at Valencia The
New York Times introduces copious extracts from
the Liverpool and London journals, with the follow
ing:

We have adverted to this subject again, because
few presses in the South stl persist in abusing the
President, and charging upon him and Gov. Walker
the sin Of abotionizing Kansas. Their first issue
was denial of the justice or the policy of submit
ting the constitution to the people of the Territory

driven from this position by the simple logic of facts

Walker himself declares what he meant by the ex-

in our Interpretation of his language.
What our fire-eating friends will now do remains
to be seen If they still continue their attacks upon
the administration, and their abuse of Gov Walker,
with all the facts and the arguments which have
been adduced before them, the country will conclude
that their hatred is stronger feeling than their pa

regulated by the great moral standard of truth and

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR
OF OHIO.


The Cleveland Plain Dealer of the l7th has bio
graphical sketch of Henry B. Payne the democratic
candidate for governor. lie was born in Madison
county, New York, in lsll and is therefore, forty
six years Of age. He graduated at Hamilton Col
lege, New York, in 1881. He afterward studied
law with Judge Fields, now an eminent jurist in Vr-
ginia, and the late John G. Spencer, of New York.
He came to Cleveland in 1888, and has been resi-
dent of the State twenty-four years. He took dis
tnguished position the bar and held ituntil 1916
when he was compelled, by reason of physical de-
bity, to retire from the profession. He has always
been very popular in Cleveland, and in ls49 was
elected to the State senate,
In that body he took distinguished position, and
his services were highly appreciated that in ls49
he was the democratic candidate for United States
senator, and received the whole democratic vote in
the legislature for twenty-sx ballots. We copy the
concluding portion of the Plain Dealers article
But of late years it has been for great administrative
and financial abilities that Mr. Payne has been eminent
among business men, among his neighbors, and in
ncpa affairs and which is the why he has gem
orally been elected when political maotes against
the democracy.
Such was the case in Is47 and l84s when the de-
rangement of city finances required master mind to
adjust them and to bring up the fallen credit of the city,
and he invited by the vote Of astrong whg ward to
the finance committee of the city council in his
election member of the State board of equalization
and his recent unanimous election the financial head
OF the Cleveland Waer-works Board Until within ayear
two past he had also for time been president OF
the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad Com
pany.

Buchanan for President and that man in Ohio did

mocracy in 1854 swept away and reduced to the
