The Bellows Falls Convention.

We have been in doubt since the Bellows
Falls Convention, as to the propriety of giving
the readers of the Patriot peep behind the
curtain, and have concluded that because we
happen to be "mixcd up" somewhat with the
matter,is no good reason why our readers should
be deprived of the news.
To the democracy of the State more actively
engaged in politics, it is well enough known,
that since the advent of the present Admins
tration, some two or three, protested democrats
in Montpelier, have been actively engaged at
home, and abroad, to supercede the editor of
the Patriot, in the Post-ofiice at Montpelier
The virulence, malignity, and utter want of COM
mon decency with which this war has been
waged is, Also well enough known. But let
that pass. The reasons urged for the superced-
ure, were, rotation in office, and that the editor
OF the Patriot, and his friends, were strong per-
sonal friends of Gen. Pierce and Judge Douglas,
and very small minority of the party in the
State, while those who sought change, were
''original Buchanan men," and very large ma
ority of the party in the State They urged
'pon the President that they had been over

From Salt Lake City.

Letters from the late Mormon capital of June
Goth, say there was not single woman in the
city save the wife of Gov. Cumming. The Nor
mons were all at Provo, with the exception of
about 100 men, who remained in Salt Lake City
to take care of the crops. stock and other prop
orty. They are living there, the majority at
least, in tents, while their comfortable houses
in the city remain vacant, with all the doors and
windows boarded up. None of the gentiles can
obtain house-room, either for dwellings or for
store purposes. This is particularly hard on
the merchants, who have brought out large
stocks of goods. No reason is assigned by the
Mormons for this dog in the manger policy ex-
cept as they say, they want first to see what the
army will do, and where it will locate. As vet,
none have been able to procure sleeping apart
ments, except the governor, secretery, marshal
and commissioners, and even most of them had
for while to sleep in their wagons. The Nor
mons would not rent their houses in the city,
and it was supposed the troops would be com
PEELED to camp near West Mountain which is
about twelve miles west ofthis city. Gov Cum

inhabitants of Utah and all others whom il may

Whereas, James Buchanan, president of the

The agricultural department Of the patent of
flee should be made of great use to the country.
The idea upon which its recent operations have
been based, of obtaining valuable plants, trees
and seeds from other countries for distribution
among cur farmers, is an excellent one, and if
intelligcntly carried out, may be made of much
practical value. But as the business has been
conducted, it seems to have been for the most
part mere quackery and mposturc. The Penn
sylvania Horticultural society has recently charg
ed that the majority of seeds distributed by the
patent office were such as had been proved by
previous trials to be of little or no value in this
country, and that those of any value were so
common as to be found at every village store,
and therefore there was no occasion for the gov
crnment to import them. Mr. l.andreth, a We
teran nursery and scotsman at Philadelphia.
has been publishing series of papers, in which
he Genounces the government seed distribution
as a humbug and nuisance. Mr. landrcth says
that when Judge Mason came in as commission
CT of patents, he waited upon him. and repre-
scented to him the folly and evil of this business.
He says the commissioner admitted that the gov
eminent was wrong in giving away seeds that
might be bought anywhere in the country, but
that garden seeds, no matter how common, were
demanded in unmeasured quantity by members
of Congress, and such was the clamor for them

for the exhibition, within which is trottins
course, cattle and sheep pens and suitable arrange
ments for the accommodation of all animals and
articles on exhibition, and for the convenience of
those who may witness the exhibition These ac
commodatons, the provision made for animals, and
the terms Of exhibition are well known to those
who have attended the previous Fairs Of the So
ciey, as to render detail of them unnecessary

spection Of the Show-bis which give the premium
list names of judges, and regulations in full, and
which will soon be posted in every town in the
State.
Exhibitors must have whatever they intend to
exhibit entered on the Secretary's books on or be-
fore Tuesday, the l4th of September Persons re-

bers OF the Society and to the public that Hon.
Jacob Collamer has accepted an invitation to de-
liver the Address on this occasion.
Arrangements have been effected as usual with
all the Railroads in the State, and with the steam
boat Companies on Lake Champain to carry ami
mails and articles to and from the Fair free, and
visitors for fare way.
The past history of the State Agricultural So
ciety is sure guaranty that every exertion will
be made by the managers to render the Exhibition
credtable to Vermont. In furtherance of this end
it is sincerely hoped that every stock-grower, man
uiacturer and farmer will do all in his power to
make the show in every respect what it should be-
The resources Of Vermont will compare favorably
with those of any other State of its size in the
Union. and there is no reason why that fact should
not be made manifest to all who may visit our Fair.

The PRICE OF A VoTE FOR LEcoMrToN.-
The shameless use of the patronage of the gen.
eral government in rewarding supporters ofthe
Lecampton villiany is attracting the attention
of the press throughout the country. Among
the members of Congress from Pennsylvania
who hung fire on Lccompton was ]. II. Ali, the
representative from the Cumberland District
In relation to his vote the following cxplana-
ton appears:
The brother Of the Hon. J. a. Ali, member of Con-
gross for the Cumberland, York and Perry district had
a contract to supply for tire army 800 mules ut Sl75
EACH making S25,5OO; also order for 200 from Rus
sci and Majors, Government contractors, Mt the same
price, amounting in all to $4,000 The kind ofmulos
delivered could he bought readily at S120 each. 1t is
unnecessary to add that Mr.. Ali voted for Lecomp-
ton, and is candidate for reelection.

IMPORTANT PRosECUTIoN.-The Worcester
Spy learns that the authorities of that city have
commenced an action against one of the veal
thest citizens of Worcester, for an alleged frau
dulent concealment Of his property from the as
SCISSORS. 1t is alleged that for three successive
years, he has, just previous to the LIST of May
made sham transfer of two hundred and eigh-
ty-nine shares of the stock of the Providence
and Worcester Railroad into other hands. and
few days after rendering his valuation to the
assessors, minus the transferred shares, has ta-
ken them back again, thus saving, for the time,
several hundred dollars upon his tax bill.
The penalty for such subterfuge and conceal
ment of property, is, according to the statute,
the forfeiture of one half the par value of the
shares concealed, which in this case would
amount to the snug little sum of Sl4,4j0. one
half the forfeiture to go to the town or city in
which the party resides, and the remainder to
the person who furnishes the information which
leads to conviction.

Timothy 7. Redfeld, Esq, our new postmaster took
possession of the office on Monday last. All who do
business Mt the Montpelier post-ofce will be pleased
to learn that Mr.. Redfeld retains the gentlemany
and obging clerk, Mr.. Lester A. Miller, who has so
acceptaby oiiciated in the Office for time past
-MOntpeher IEdtchman.
As friend of Mr.. Redfeld's we regret the
announcement made in the latter part of the
above paragraph. The Montpelier Office being
the most important office in the state, and at
the Capitol, is somewhat the property of the
party in the state, and this must be our excuse
for saying that so important place as its chief
clerk should be filled by democrat. There
are plenty of such qualified and competent,
who would like the place, and in this state,
what patronage we have should be in our own
hands.-B. y. Argns.
What neglect of duty not to consult the
argus in the appointment of clerk for the
Montpelier post-office, after the dirty work
done by that paper to get Eastman out and
Redfeld in! We can readily believe the dr.
gus that there are enough hungry democrats
who would be glad of the office. Could not
