Concord Can't Come.

The Concord people are disappointed a.
gain this year in the loss of their favorite
bill to annex them to this county. Everyone
at Montpelier was surprised at the decisive
vote (l69 to 46) by which the third reading
of the bill was refused-and this too after
the committee, which had patiently given
both sides full hearing. reported favorably
to the bill Some of the acts of our Legis-
lators are inexplicable. We were much i'm
pressed by a remark made in our hearing in
view ofthis question; it was this &: "know-
Ing as | do the difficulty of getting any bill,
however just, through our Legislature, l
should suffer any inconvenience and wrong
rather than attempt to procure a remedy in
that way" We give this remark of one of
Legislative experience for the benefit of any
who may have pet schemes which they are
DESTROYS Of having "put through" We I'M
derstand that Mr.. Dale of Guildhall, argued
the case for Essex County earnestly and elo-
quently, and made decided impression in
the House ; and though nearly every men,
Der must have been convinced that it would
be simple act ofjustice to grant the request
of the Concordites, and injustice not to, only
forty-six dared vote to remove the old land

C. 1t becomes victors always to be may
unanimous. And while We can rejoice with a
great rejoicing over the victory the Republic
can party has achieved, it would seem to be
especially unadvisabie, unnecessary and fool
ls'i to taunt our opponents,-persons who
have the same right to their opinions as we
have, and an equal right to express those o.
plnlons through the ballot-box. Let us not

Burlingame Defeated.

Such was the intelligence, sad to every
Republican, that was carried on the electric
wires all over our country on Tuesday even
ing last. Later dispatches say that he viii!
contest his seat, as manifest frauds were per
petrated in Ward l.. Boston. We certainly
hope that this champion of free speech may
retain his seat in Congress. Mr.. Lincoln
wants just such men to "back" him.

New JerSev..DOubtful,

The state has probably gone Union. Re
turns from the Western part of the state are
measre. The straight Douglas ticket was
run there and may elect four Republican e.
lectors. Nixon and Stratton, Rep. are elect
ed to Congress from the lst and I'd districts,
ard Steele and Cook, Dem, in the Sd and
18th districts. 1t is doubtful whether Pen
nlngton is elected. The state Senate is Re-
publican-House, Democratic.

Till it from can. The fluid took fire in both

How the News Took.
1t was not strange that very many of our
townspeople, as we'll as quite number from
adjoining towns, gathered about the telegraph
station in this place on Tuesday evening to
hear the news" The Republicans were
hopeful, and almost jubilant, from the first,
though some were anxious to hear from
New York. When the Empire State was f.
nally heard from, about 10 p. NJ, the enthu-
siasm of Young America, especially, knew no
bounds. Tin horns, drums, and tar barrels
soon came in requisition. Our constable
was elevated even above the pitch usually at
tanned on training and cattle fair days. In
short. the Pent-up enthusiasm found vent ev-
erywhere and in every way. The next night
the same thing was repeated by the younger
boys on even more noisy scale, if possible,
than the nigh, previous. The question oc-
Cured to the minds of some-"Wasn't the
thing being overdone?" Water is good, but
~ater can be run into the ground.
