On, DEAR, BLOODY BLAzEs THE Editor
of the Burlington Times, who did not get elect
cd Adjutant General, has been some weeks, ru-
NOR says" laying his corns ~ for an election to
the Senate, and is awfully afearei that ho shall
be' blowed up sky high - if he should be
so lucky as to get elected Senator, and if the
Metropolitan village" should take his advice
and complete the State House. Hear him.
After abiding to the proposition to warm the
State House by steam, he says;
"The Vermont Senate will be under an I'M
pleasant liability to be suddenly blown up,
without notice The disaster Is not at all Ike.
ly to occur perhaps but it may occur, and in
this possibility consists the sufficient ebieesion
to the arrangement. Ii the thing is carried out,
and established, it will be nothing more than
prudence, in the Legislature, to appoint Joint
Committee on Steam, to see to it, that the cellar
don't blow the two Chambers 'to bloody blazes!
IF il ,oere likely that zoe should erer again be
connected Nth either branch of the General As
semb'y, we should be inclined to "speak out :"
about it. As it is, we only suggest. If we
were member of the Legislature, in the per-
picked village of Montpelier, during the Fall
months, we should prefer to warm ourselves with
friction matches, rather than incur even the re-
mote danger of being blown "sky high" by II
steam warming-mn We hope the energetic
Superintendent will think of these things. II
the Legislature is to DO warmed by steam, let
the steam generator be where it can do nothing
worse than ''burst its boiler

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE-Wc are almost
constrained to ask our readers forgiveness for
inaicting upon them such dose of laborcd
misrepresentation and jumbled accounts of the
condition of the country as is set forth in the
Presidents Message, Tie truth is, it gives
satisfaction to nobody, unless, peradventure, it
be a few in Mississippi The fact is too glaring
that the condition of the Democracy, and not
Of the nation, is the burden of the Message and
tie anxiety of the President That Party is in
deplora'le condition, " disjolnted, distracted.
and with no common bond to bind them to-
gether," and it cannot be dsguired But we
leave the Presidents matters of Kansas, Mex
ico, Cuba and the Tariff, to the unprejudiced
consideration of readers in whose common
sense We have the fullest confidence

The Erening Post argues from the career Of the
late Hon. John Wheeler, that it is not altogether
.afs for Republicans to support Johu B. Hsskn, or
hofaco = oi.rA either. We suppose as candidate
for the next Congress. As sdvooess. Of tie el.c.
ton Of both these gentlemen, We Dust suggest In
reply that The Post il reasoning from the its of 40
exceptional individual. Fortunately fer the COM
mon sense Of humanity, Mr.. John Wheeler cannot
properly be taken as an illustration Of tho average
probsbilities of human conduct
II was not our intention ever 70 slluds to Nr.
Wheeler again, but since his name has thus been
revived, we may say that in our judgment, aft@ be
had manfuly resisted the Nebraska bill, Gefying
alike the temptations and the terrors Of the Admin.
istratioD, il wss both right and polite that the Re-
pubicans should aid in giving that action Of his sn
emphatic popular ndorsement. That he wa, an
sgreeious fool, and had the capacity to prove trai
tor after all, was something they had as yet hsd nc
evidence OF, and could not suspect 1t was just as
proper that they should support him then. that
they shOuld afterward abandon him to that public
contempt for which he had 90 brilliantly lsbored.
We DO not, therefore, thihk John Wheeers
case is so much warning to Republican electors
as to aspiring and unsctupulous politicians. After
all. bis efforts hurt nobody but himself, ard de.
stroyed nobody reputation but biz own. And that
was done easily.
With regard to Messrs. Clark and Hsskin, there
10 this great difference as compared With tie per.
son referred to BY The Post: they are both men Of
brains; at tie sane time they have nobly coubated
the Administration on the ground Of principles dear
to all Repubicans their reelection will be resisted
BY al the forces Of the Custom House; ard We
trust that without askirgsny pie 'ges Of them,
the Republicans Of their respectve Districts will
show that they know Aow to appreciate TIE bid
ness, fruness aid ability which they aase both
eYDcsd.
