POLITICAL AND Pr ESIDKNTAL.


Political conventions were the order of the
day on Wednesday, the ODD inst, no less than
nine being held, as follows The Michigan
democratic, the North Carolina wing, the Penn
sylvania peoples party, the Virginia opposition,
the national of New Jersey, the republican of
California, and the democratic of Iowa. OF the
results of these conventions we have received
no definite information at the time of going to
press, but whatever may be their action they
will evidently do much to crystalize public SEN
timent upon the subject of Presidential candi-
dates.
The democratic convention is to be held at
Charleston in little less than two MONTHS
There are candidates for the nomination of that
party in nearly every State, between some of
whom seemingly relentless war is raging. The
great contest is, however, between Senator
Douglas on the one hand and a score or less of
candidates in the Southern States on the other
Some of the most persistent disunionists will
oppose the pretensons and nomination of Mr.
Douglas to the bitter end but, unfortunately
for their success, they do not represent the sem
timents and wishes of the mass of the people
for whom they pretend to speak. The great
mass of the democrats at the North are warm
advocates of Mr. Douglass nomination, and the
great mass of the Southern wing Of the party
are not concentrating their strength upon any
one man, but are ready to pronounce for the
most available candidate. The South is safe
for the democratic candidate whoever he may
be and in any emergency. 1t then becomes
necessary to find a candidate who will combine
with the support of the slave States sufficient
votes from the free States to secure his election.
The man who approaches nearest to this stan
dard is, unquestonably, Stephen A. Douglas,
and for this reason we think he will get the
nomination.
Who will be the candidate of the Republican
party in the approaching campaign is a matter
of extreme doubt. This results from no want
of interest in the nomination, but from a gene
raj willingness to subordinate all personal feel
ings and local pride to the general good of the
party. The Republicans of Vermont accord
lhS W our pest judgment ana Dellei, would
prefer the election of WIN. H. SEWARD to that
of any other man. They believe him to be not
only the foremost man in his party, but the
ablest and most far-sceing statesman now living
of whom our country can boast. lie is en-
phOticay representative of the party in all
those distinctive attributes which define Repub-
lconism as distinguished from democracy. lie
is one of the earliest opponents of the anti
slavery extension sentiment of the country, as
he is its ablest advocate on the floor of Con-
gress. But the Republicans of Vermont will
cheerfully support any man whom in its wisdom
and Judgment, the Chicago Convention may
nominate, provided he is man whose Repub-
licanism can be safely relied on.

PERILoUs WINTER ExtCPsIoN.-MoUNr
MANsrlELD.-[ spondence Of the Termont
Chronicle. -Four courageous couples Of ladies
and gentlemen passed the night Of the 9th inst.
at the Summit House on Mount Mansfield.
The enterprise was an extremely hazardous one.
The snow for the last mile and half of the
ascent is from six to eight feet deep. But a
road has been kept open by the workmen who
are engaged in hauling lumber for the addition
that is to be erected TO the Summit House next
season. And as the 9th inst. was quite warm,
no apprehensions of suffering were entertained
by the party. They were able to get four
horse sleigh within a mile of the Summit House,
which is half mile nearer than a carriage
has ever been before. The ladies rode the re-
mainder of the way on horseback.--They kept
themselves comfortable enough during the night,
but as the weather had changed to bitter cold
ness, and the wind had drifted the snow into
the path, their descent the following morning
was attended with much suffering. 1t is believed
that had not three or four Of the inhabitants
at the foot of the mountain gone up to meet
them in the morning, some or all of the party
would have persisted. The gentlemen had be-
come quite exhausted in their efforts to beat
road for the horses, and two or three of the la
dies had nearly given up in despair, when friend
~ assistance came to their relief. The party
arrived at Stowe village, six miles from the foot
of the mountain about noon of the 10th, great
ly fatigued, but otherwise injured by the exploit
excepting that they had few frozen ears, fin
gers and toes.

REMOVAL AND MISUNDERSTANDING w.
Austin has been removed from the office of
Collector Of the Port of Boston, and Gen. James
S. Whitney, Superintendent of the United
States Armory at Springfield, appointed in his
place, whereat the democrats of Massachusetts
are nightly pleased. The Boston Herald
(democratic) says that
ale, (Austin) and his miserable hirelings
have traversed the State to abuse and vliiy
lifelong democrats-whle he (Austin) was os-
ciating between the whig and democratic par
ties. His private secretary, Rev. Mr.. Lovejoy,
was taken from the republican and temperance
ranks and placed in position for the purpose of
undertaking the magnificent task of reading
democrats out of the party, to make way for
such chaps as he, who but few short years
ago-so strong ant-savery men tell us-was
violent in the cause of anti-slavery and temper
ance. This broken down minister, temperance
lecturer, anti-slavery demogogue, no-rum advo-
cate, and would-be-a-great man in the eyes Of
Southern men, by writing pro-stavery articles
for the Washington papers, has reached pretty
nearly the end of his rope. And we trust that
Gen. Whitney will not heed the whining of this
fawning sycophant who claims that he, like
John Rogers, has got fourteen children and
nine at the -, but give him permission to
leave, throwing his coat, hat and boots out of
the window after him."

DISTRICT CoNvENTIoN.-Thed democrats OF
the second Congressional District in this State
held their convention for the nomination of del
egatcs to the Charleston Convention, at White
River Junction on Wednesday. CHAs. n. DA-
EENPoRr, Esq, of Wilmington, was elected
President, and T.. NJ. Brown, n. ii. EAroN
and l.. c. BUTLER, Secretaries. Hon. II. f..
SToUGHToN Of Bellows Falls, and Gen. T.. b.
CHASE of Lyndon, were elected delegates, and
STEPHEN THOMAS of Farlee, and CHARLES n.
DAvENroRT of Wilmington, were appointed
substitutes. Over 400 persons were in atten-
dance, and the proceedings of the Convention
were entirely harmonious. The delegates cleo
ted are, we understand, possessed of Douglas
procliyities, and a resolution of the Convention
instructing the delegates to cast their votes SC
that Vermont shall be unit in the Charleston
Convention, insures to Douglas the support o.
this State.

The SHoEMAKER's STRIKE.-The strike of
the cordwainers Of Lynn. Marblehead, and 9TH
er shoe manufacturing towns in Eastern Massa-
chusetts, was fully consummated on Wednesday.
In Lynn, at an early hour in the morning the
journeymen shoemakers, to the number of $500,
formed in procession with music and banner,
and marched through the principal streets of
the city, after which meeting was organized
in the open air and several speeches were made.
The speakers urged upon the journeymen the
necessity of being firmly united in the move
ment, and warned them of the folly of commit
ting any breaches of the peace. During the
day there were several tritng outbreaks of a
reyengeful character against those who were
obnoxious to the strikers, but nothing of Sc
rious nature TRANSFERRED. The Marblehead str-
kers also marched in procession through the
streets and then quietly dispersed. There were
similar demonstrations in Natick and Dover,
\. H., but no acts of violence occurred at eth
err place.

CHEsTERFIELD-LIFE on THE LAKE.-The
neighboring towns, are having fine times on
Spatford Lake, which is now covered with ice,
like FURNISHED silver, near two feet thick Trot-
ting matches, rides, and skating are the order
of the day. On Saturday the llth the Lake
was literally covered with all manner of vehi-
cles, driving in all directions, with numerous
skaters of both sexes. A trotting match came
of in the afternoon, in which Flying Cloud,
llippopotamus, Kite and Cicuta, took part.
Cicuta came in short of three minutes, and dis
tanced her competitors. There were many fine
skaters but we could not distinguish who was
best. Some parties were fishing, and cutting
holes through the ice am told that pike have
been caught weighing from IS to 20 lbs.-M-
together the surface of the Lake presented
lively scene on Saturday. --Keene Sentinel.

more or less. of which sum however, the State
will loose little if any At this defacation the
democratic papers went into exstacies of delight,
and improved the opportunity of preaching
homilies upon the general subject of Republican
immortality and democratic honesty. But it so
happens that out in Iowa democratic supcrin-
tendent of public instruction has proved de-
faulter to the amount of 100000, which sum
belonging to the school-fund he illegally loaned
to individuals. DIR. James ID. Eads is the name
of the lately discovered rascal. In this case
the bonds are worthless, so the State is likely
to he fleeced out of the entire amount. Ac-
cording to democratic logic this man was a
knave because he was democrat.

REPUBLICAN, BRlBERY.-A specimen of Black Re-
publican morality was witnessed at Washington, last
week, in the Republican Congressional Caucus. when
Mr.. Derees, their candidate for Printer sent in let
ter offering half Of the net profits of the office to
the Republican party if they would elect him. 1t was
direct open bnbe for votes aud we are sorry to saw
that there were but two three persons among the
Republican members who evinced a disposition to de-
nounce it, and that the caucus nominated him, and
the party have perssently voted for him in the House
Such conduct is certainly disgrace to the party that
gives it countenance,-Keens NJ II. Republican,
The incorruptible democracy do not trust
themselves to any such contingency as the above
In the last Congress they made it a condition
precedent with their candidate that the profits
on the public printing should he parcelled out
among the needy politicians, and even fixed up
on the pro rata of distribution.

Loss OF THE STEAMSHIP HUNGARIAN WITH
ALL On BoARD.-A large screw-steamship was
on Sunday evening lost upon ledge of rock
to the east Of Cape Sable. The vessel was OBJ
served from the shore, but as the sea was run
ming very high at the time it was impossible to
communicate with those on board and during
Monday as the vessel broke up and settled be-
fore the eyes of the spectators, conjecture was
at a loss TO identify the unfortunate ship. Yes
terday, however it was ascertained that the
steamship Hungarian, which left Liverpool on
the Sth, was the lost vessel. AS it was regard
ed as impossible for boats to live in the sea
running at the period of the disaster. and as no
survivors have come to land, it is reasonably
assumed that all on board persisted. The HIM
gdridn, the property of the Montreal steam
ship Company, was completed and put upon her
ocean route last year. She had already made
great reputation as swift and successful sail
er. Some of the most rapid recorded passages
across the Atlantic had been achieved by her.

COUNTY CoMMIssIoNER.-We feel authorized
to say that Hon. IRA GooDHUE will consent to
the use of his name as candidate for the office
of County Commissioner, although his name
was proposed without his knowledge or consent
The well-known character of Dea GooDnur
for honesty, integrity, and frmness of purpose
led to his selection; and we trust that all our
citizens who value such qualifications in an i'm
portant public officer will give him their cordial
support.

The best Letter Stamp yet devised is one
where the name of the post-oiiice and the date
are in fine needle-points instead of solid letters,
which require ink. This newly invented stamp
not only makes an impression on the envelope,
but on every thickness of paper enclosed in it,
so that If the envelope were lost, the date and
post.oitice would be still preserved. No ink is
required, and in every respect the stamp is an
improvement over the miserable things now
used in the post-ofices, the impressions from
which are half of the time illegible. A letter
stamped by the new process is before us, and its
superiority is so manifest that we hope the day
will come when it will be universally adopted
