and In the House Of Representatives. The
Senate probably will he entirely Republican,
though in Chittonden County the Hon. Lu-
cius Il. Chittendon has run close II the wind
owing to local question, or, to be more
specific, owing to the differences of interest
or opinion in that county relative to the con-
nection of the Vermont and Canada Railroad
with the town OF Burlington. The Burling-
ton papers, particularly the Free Press and
Times. having for some time given more at
tention to that topic than to general politics,
the people in several of the towns have voted
in like spirit on the Senatorial ticket. On
the State ticket, however, Gov. Hall runs
ahead Of SAKE, notwithstanding the latter is

SAYS of the article prohibiting involuntary
servitude after the year 500 in the Terrific
rios. that having been rejected by Congress,
il never became a part of the Jehersonian
plan of government for the Territories, as
adopted April 23. 1854. The Chicago Tribune
shows how the facts were. When Mr. JET
forson had reported his plan, in which was
this article prohibiting slavery, vote was
taken upon certain resolutions designed to
form the basis of the ordinance. On this
particular article, the Northern States, six in
number, Mr.. Jefferson Of Virginia and Mr..
Williamson of North Carolina, voted for 1t.
This. of course, was under the Confederation,
when a majority of all the States was neces-
sary to carry a measure, and SIX, therefore
were insufficient, although but eleven appear
TO have been then represented. The matter
was then left pending, liable TO be called up
at any subsequent time. 1t was again called
up, and for the express purpose OF getting
another vote upon the resolution prohibiting
slavery. In volume 20, page 81, of Dun
laps journals, appears the following record

DISSOLUTION OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.

an
Some Of the Southern Opposition journals
are proposing that the Republican party shall
dissolve, ignore the questions connected with
Slavery, and join the grand Opposition party,
with the sole aim of overthrowing the pres
ent Administration. IL is very kind of the
Southern Opposition to propose that the lead
ership shall be yielded to it in the great con-
test Of 1860 But those who are to furnish
the potes in that contest-those States which
are relied upon for the Republican candidate
are the proper parties TO plan and direct
the campaign. And If the Republican stand
ard is to be lowered for any mongrcl flag II
the principles of Freedom are to be expunged
from the Republican platform to catch few
timid Hunkcrs: if "a Presidential candidate Is
TO be nominated who is doubc-faccd OF hol-
low-hearted on questions that affect liberty,
we wish to be counted ont. The Republicans
of New England, we are convinced. do not
believe in backing down from a righteous and
honorable position, such as they now occupy
Their Puritan and Revolutionary ancestors
never were guilty Of such folly. They held
fast to their principles. through good and evil
report, without concoalment or compromise.
And their reward was ample.
We do not consider it worth making any
struggle to change a Democratic Doughiacc
for some other kind of Doughiaco Such an
operation would not pay. The electing Of
men to high offices "without why ora where
fore" except to get possession OF the spoils
is already curse to the country, and VIC trust
the Republican party viii not stoop TO any
such degradation. Let US understand what
we are aiming at, and then pursue that aim
with united and unAinchng purpose. If there
