Political.
Before our next Issue we expect to have
returns Of elections in Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Illinois, and while we write the din
of battle is heard in all their borders. The
country is waiting the result with anxious
expectation. The general result in Mass.
Michigan and Wisconsin admits of no
doubt. The great centcrs of interest are
New York and Illinois. In the former
there is without question strong oppo-
sition mojority, but unfortunately they are
not united Our readers will recollect
that the attempt to unite the Americans
and Republicans failed, though there was
a strong tendency to fusion. Edwin d.
Morgan is the nominee Of the Republicans;
Lorenzo Barrows of the Americans, Am
asa j. Parker, of the Democrats and Ger
rift Smith is scaling around on his own
hook after anything he can pick up
1t requires some philosophy for an out
slider who fully comprehends the impor-
lance of the results pending to contemplate
the proceeding of the opposition with any
considerable degree of patience. Espec-
ially after the noble example of the Penn
sylvanians in shaping their canvass, and
especially the glorious results Never was
an administration more emphatically re-
buked than was that of Pennsylvania
favorite son" by his own State at the re-
cent election. And the voice of Pennsyl.
vania is the voice Of nearly every north

But we in Vermont can only look on with
as much complacency as we can command
and wish that the rest of mankind were as
wise and upright as we
The contest in New York is between
Morgan and Parker it is difficult to
Judge of the amount Of support the other
candidates will get, but it will nearly all
come from the opposition and for this
reason it is extremely probable that Par
ker may receive plurality. We will
be prepared for this, and hope for some-
thing better.
1t is in Illinois that the contest RACES
with greatest fury. People who have
never witnessed an election out of Yer
mont can have but poor idea of an even
battle in the West. Such battle is now
raging in Illinois with an intensity never
before equalled, The parties are led on
by Lincoln and Douglas, and is really for
the Senatorship. To succeed in obtaining
that place for Lincoln it will be necessary
to make considerable gains in the Legis-
lature, and the friends of the good cause
confidently hope that it will be done.
Whatever may be the result of to-day
land it will be soon flashed over the coun-
try) one thing is plain that the true prin-
eiples of freedom as expressed by the Re-
publican party are making steady pro-
gress, nor is it unreasonable that in the
next Presidential Election they will pre-
vail in every Northern State.

Vermont Medical Society

- The annual meeting of the State Med
ical Society took place at Montpelier on
the 9th and 2Sth of October. A consid-
cradle number of physicians from the va
rious sections of the State were in atten-
dance.
In the afternoon of Wednesday the
House of Representatives rendered to the
Society the use of their hall, and both
branches of the Legislature adjourned for
the purpose of giving the members an op-
portunity Of listening to the annual ad-
dress Of the President of the Society.
The address of DR.. Stevens the Presi-
dent was Of very interesting character, be-
ing a sketch of the profession in the State
from an early day, and more particularly
history Of the Society from its organi-
cation; tracing the obstacles which from
time to time had impeded the progress Of
true medical science in the State, and
drawing from the history of the past, in
ferences fattering and encouraging for the
future, closing with some practical re-
marks on the relation of the profession to
the community.
In the evening of Wednesday the time
was occupied to late hour in the discus
sion Of several interesting medical topics.
Early on Thursday morning the So
ciety convened, when treatises were read
by Drs. Allen of Middlebury, Carpenter
of Burlington, and Pinso of Hartford also

1t cannot be disguised that the friends
Of good order and sobriety, and we may
say the true friends of equine improve
ment, have just occasion to fear that nei-
Their are very much encouraged by Horse
Shows as they are frequently conducted
at the present time. The subject is not
novel one. The danger and evils which
have been, even among us, seen and de-
plored by discerning men who have truly
at heart the welfare of society. 1t is
time that these should be out-spoken, and
not only give expression to their views,
but in every proper way do what they can
to hold iii check this tendency to the in
toxication of the race-course. We have
no fault to find with the management of
our own Agricultural Assocation,-it is
all that could be wished.
We take great interest in the improve
ment of horses, but to such improvement
it is not necessary to yield to the tests and
management of the fancy" There is,
in Vermont at least, enough Of moral con-
servatism, if truly and properly expressed.
70 temper and restrain the disposition al
luded to.
No State has done more than Vermont,
NO County has done more than Addison
County, in the past few years, for the i'm
provement of this noblest of animals, and
the evidence is abundant that it can all
be done without the objectional concomi
tants of the race course. We cannot but
feel pride in the exploits of our fast horses
under any circumstances. Though we
glory in the unequalled performances Of
Ethan Allen, we cannot but regard him,
as the people of this county regard him,
in a certain sense their property. and we
think we speak their sentiments when, by
virtue of this right, so far as it may 90,

life devoted to posterity.

The PROPOSED NEW STATE. - The
Chicago Union fancies that in year or
two four hard boned miners will be seen
vending their way up the Capitol in Wash
ington with State Constitution in green
bag, and requesting of Congress three or
four seats for their representatives of the
pioneers of Americas great mineral region,
and suggests that Superior and Ontonagon
should give place to Franklin as the name
of the new State. The reasons therefor
are thus forcibly stated:
"We believe the name of Benjamin
Franklin, the printer and statesman. has
more claim to the honor than any yet sug-
gested. He it was who in fact, gave 10
the United States the rich territory now
proposed to be erected into State. With
foresight and tact he won from the French
government the "land Of the great Lake"
which was, at the time of Franklin's visit to
France, considered by the possessors to be
rocky, barren wilderness, where even the
red man could hardly subsist. The gift of
the French King was not then regarded
worth more than mere compliment of
good will from the American government,
but Franklin, taking the French discover
ers as written on the maps kept in the
French archives, discovered the hidden
wealth in iron and copper which now alone
could supply the world in these minerals.
We plead for the name of "Franklin"-
either for the State or its capital.

w Lecomptonites are growing joyous
ly over the decision of the House to ap-
point Committee to confer with the Sen
ate Committee on the Kansas bills. They
are not out of the woods yet. Several
gentlemen voted for the Committee Of
Conference that will not vote for the Le-
compton Constitution unless it is submit
ted to the people, and to that point the
Senate will not come. The question be-
tween the House and Senate is simply
whether the Lecompton Constitution shall
be accepted as it is, or shall be sent to
Kansas for reputation. There is no half
wav ground. The difference is irreconcila-

who will favor any scheme whatever for
the admission of Kansas into the Union

never yet fell upon the head of a politician.
He will be politically defunct and morally

Prize Fight at ST. Louis.
ScJENTJFIc SAvAGEIsM.

A desperate prize fight, in which twen-
ty-two rounds were fought, came off yes
terday afternoon, in the presence of some
three hundred spectators, in the rear of the
ten-pin alley, six miles distant from the
city, on the Gravois road. The fight was
planned at eleven A. NJ, and at three P.
NJ, some fourteen ha cks, four baggage wa
gons, mammoth express wagon, and
above score of buggies crowded with peo-
pie, had arrived at the spot. The combat
ants were Patrick Carroll, a native of Ire
land, and James Brown, New Englander.
Michael Traiuor and Jacob Coke, were the
seconds of the latter, and Jacob Luny and
Chas. Holmes, of the former. Carroll was
some fifteen pounds the heavier, and Brown
the taller. The stakes 800 side, were
placed in the hands of Jacob Welch.-
Dan'l Ryan was elevated to dignity of um,
pire. Much betting preceded and attend
ed the exhibition. A ring being duly
formed, the athletic entered, stripped to
drawers, and at the word began to pumel
each other in most lovely and artistic
style. Al lhe secohu touuo Caiioii 0o'

Browns eye was fast closing when Carol
relieved it by further blood letting. Brown
then stood much on the defensive, but
planted his blows thickly and heavily upor
the breast Of his opponent, At the Close
nearly each round Carroll threw the other
At the eighteenth Brown received blow
in the neck, which rendered him unable te
stand. His seconds supported him, and
he thus fought four more rounds more get
ting worsted. He still refused TO yield but
his friends "threw up the spoDgs" in token
of defeat, and bore him from the field.
Quarrels then began among certain bet
ters, and nearly proceeded to the use Of
knives and pistols, when peace was re-
stored.
