THE MANNED, THE HALT. AND THE
BLIND CARED FOR.

Mr.. Buchanan has certainly acted the part
of the good Samaritan towards those who have
been wounded and disabled in his service
He has had an unusual number of sick men
on his list, and we feel bound to acknowledge
that he has been very ready to bind up the
broken limbs and put plasters-shin-pla sters,
OF course-on the sore places But it is re-
markable that all these patients have been in
lnred in consequence Of collisions with the
people. 1t has somehow happened in all in
stances that his retainers have received their
damage directly from the people. No Other
President ever had such luck or encountered
such perversity in the constituencies of his
iavorites, and it seems to have given him a
spite towards everything that is popular and
a special affection for every renegade and
rogue who goes to him with the brand of pop
ular rebuke and punishment on his forehead
Mr. Buchanan's test would seem to be TO an
applicant for office and pay. Have YOU done

A PREDICTION AND IT'S FULFILL
MENT


Genius and moral and religious enthusiasm
seem to have an unconscious prescience.
These qualities admit men into such intimate
connection with the secret influences Of ma
ture and the controlling principles Of human
conduct that they forcsoo the future with al
most the accuracy Of prophetic vision. We
are reminded of a striking illustration of this
in the case Of our disabled senator. Mr.. Sum
ner. In his great speech, which brought up
on his head the terrible vengence Of the slave
power, he gave full account in detail Of the
interest felt and the effort displayed by the
general government in the rendition of the
might've slave, Anthony Bnrns, from Boston.
Such historical accuracy and completeness as
to this matter did not appear to be necessary
to the scope and purpose of his speech, and
one of his friends asked him why he labored
that part of his subject so thoroughly. "Be-
cause said Mr.. Sumner, al wanted to have
that affair put on record and printed in the
Congressional Globe, so that five years hence.

foreign slave trade, we may be able to con-

elapsed, and the slave trade is re-opened-
and the country has the opportunity to make

government managed that affair No admin

Mr.. EDITOR As the time for another
election of County Commissioner is approach
ing, is is not wise to cast around for suita-
bic candidate to be placed before the people
for that office, that will ensure success : we
apprehend that Washington County lost the
election of Temperance Commissioner last
year, by placing in nomination Judge Jones
who bad held that office the year before
Every person at all acquainted with the sub
ject of appointing Agents in the several
Towns, knows, that necessarily there are
more or less applicants disappointed. who

This has been demonstrated in this County.

the State. Last year, if new man had been
selected, who had not exposed himself to
those objections, by his official appointment
IN the several towns, there is n reason in inc
world why the temperance candidate for
Commissioner should not have been elected
10y large majority. Public men are sure to
meet the dsapproval of every man in com
munlty whose wishes, or the wishes of their
friends have not been gratifed. But you as /,
who Is the man that can carry the county :
We believe that there is a man, who can re-
celve a large majority of the votes, in Barre.
Plainfeld, Cabot Marshfeld. East Montpel-
Ter, Worcester, Middlesex, Waterbury. Dux-
bury, Warren, Mortified, and will stand an
even chance to carry, Calais, Woodbury.. Ber-
lin, and Montpelier, for County Commission
err and that man is DR.. james Templeton of
East Montpelier.
DIR. Vempleton is known through the
county as true temperance man. and per
haps there is no man in the county who has
more warm friends. Had he been put in
nomination last year, there would not have
been doubt as to his election. Barre will
give two to one for the DR.. against any other
candidate that may be brought into the field
by the other side 1t is time that the friends
OF temperance should begin to move in this
matter We have been defeated by our own
Incidence, and for the want of candidate up
on whom all temperance men could unite
Even let it be agreed that DR.. Templeton
shall be elected, and every man in the county
who regards the law as being conclusive to
the best interest of the community, will be at
the ballot box at March meeting. We have
now time enough to organize in every town,
and bring out the strength of the temperance
party. Barre says give us DR.. Templeton for
Commlssioner--two votes to one

THE NEXT CENSUS.
RELATIVE POWER OF THE SLAVE AND FREE
STATES.

STATES.
WASHINGTON. Wednesday. Dec. 20. SO.
In little over year from this time the
eighth census of the United States must be
taken. in accordance with the constitutional
provision requiring an enumeration of the
people every tenth year. The law under
which the last census was taken contains a
clause giving it vitality again in 1850. unless
Congress shall. in the meantime, have other
wise provided for taking the census in that
year Notice has been given in the House Of
Representatives of a new Census bill. which
seems to have for its object to prevent the
collection of any data beyond the mere emu
meration of the people-thus rejecting all
the valuable statistics in regard to manufac-
lures. agricultural and all the varied branches
Of industry in which our people are engaged
Certainly if these statistics cannot be
promptly compiled and put in shape for ref
erence, they lose much Of their value. II is
a remarkable fact that there are now engaged,
in the Interior Department, Superintendent
and corps of clerks, compiling statistics col
lected in 1850; and it is said that years will
still be required to finish that work This is
Ill wrong and it is to be hoped that Con-
gress will enact some provision which shall
limit the time within which all the census
statistics must be ready for public use, and
exclude from publication-and, far as posi-
BILE, from collection too-all matter which
cannot be made practically available, at least
within two years time. If the statistics Of
the industrial interests, and Of vitality, &c,
cannot be thus promptly obtained,it will be bet
ter to confne the Federal Census to the simple
enumeration Of population, leaving to the
States themselves the work Of computing the
value of products of the soil and of the va
rious pursuits of their people.
This subject Of the Census, and the ratio
to be established under it for representation
in Congress, is already becoming a matter oil
speculation among politicians generally, and
of special alarm to Southern men. The
present House Of Representatives is thus di
vided, sectionally:

"We will add further that on another occasion in the

pelier ought not to be compelled to contribute
towards the State House; If so, it is most
creditable to him and our wonder is that he
seems to have had so little influence with
Burlington and her friends in persuading them
into his views. Did he mean by compiler
ton that the payment by Montpelier was
anchoring the Capitol more firmly there. and
therefore hindrance to the future removal to
Burlington, Then what becomes of his
speech in the House in 1857, where he said
that burlington was out of the ring as to

that he was in favor Of raising money for the
appropriation then made by tart To at
