Frccrnen Of Vermont!

Have you forgotten that you are once
more called upon TO 60 to the polls? On
Tuesday November 9th, the ircemen of the
United States elect a president of this
republic. II is important that Vermont
should cast a large vote. II is desirable of
course 10 have republican administration
sustained by as large strength as possible,
ard ,hos show 10 the country that the
policy which will be inaugurated on 4th
March next is the policy of the people,
If we give small vote i, will be claimed
by the opposion as indicating Indifference or
want Of confidence in the new policy
Therefore let US have full vote On the
first Tuesday of November. IT is not
necessary TO argue the case further 1t
is not needed. The verdict is already
made up and has only to be rendered.
Who would miss OF the honor of casting
his ballot for honest old Ate? None,
surely. Forward to the polls J

Judge Barrett at Montpelier sentenced
to prison for eight years an Irish boy named
John Roakes for poisoning. He put cor
rosive snblimate into bowl from which a
child of Mr.. G. w. Willard drank some
milk. There was so much of the poison
as TO act like an emetic, aud the child was
not killed.
As DIR. b. W. Dodge was riding from
GuIdhalI to plaiufeId, week ago. his
horse stumbled and fell, throwing Mr..
Dodge out of his sulky. The fall broke
his left arm, dislocated the thumb of his
right hand, and otherwise injurd him.

Gas The New York Tribune says that
to keep pace with all the accessions to Lin.

those from the 0ld-Line Wing and Amer
lean ranks, is quite OUT Of question: we can
only chronicle a few Of the more important
Of this class, is that of the Hon. Amos
Briggs, of Rensselaer, county. For years
this gentleman has been the backbone OF
the Wing and American parties in his vi
cinity, and in 1855 was the successful can.
didate for the Senate. His abilities and
character for more than twenty years have
justly caused him to rank among the repre-
sentative men in his section Of the State.

Reelection Of Judge ColIamer.

We briefly announced the election of Judge
Collamer, to the U. S. Senate for six
years from the fourth of March next, last
week. Mr. Colamer justly occupies the
front rank of American Statesmen and his
reelection is an honor to our State. His emf
nent ability ripe experience and logical mind
qualify him for any post in the American
government, and though we much perfer
to keep him in the senate, yet it is not
unlikely that he may be named as a MEM
Der of the cabinet during the next admins
tration. He addressed the legislature and
others ut Montpelier last week and we
must give our readers two points in his
address, which cannot fail to be of interest
One was that Vermont in 1777. one
year after the adoption of the Declaration
or Independence, framed the first State
constitution made BY any State. Her Bill
Of Rights repeats the ideas, and in a meas
ure the language, of the Declaration of
Independence, that all men are born free
and equal, and adds that Z" therefore no
male or female born in this country or
brought from over the seas" should be held
10 service against their consent after arrv-
ing at majority. This shows that in the
understanding of the fathers of the decara-
ton that all men are born free ard equal
was meant to include slaves; and he regard
ed it valuable piece Of centemporaneous
testimony on a point upon which ,Justice
Taney has expressed different view
The other was concerning the introduction
OF the slave trade between the Sntes. He
had been in the receipt of great numbers
Of petitions praying for legislation upon
that subject. But, he SAID, if Congress SO
far recognize property in slaves as to regu-
late the traffic between the States, it must
at the same time admit the legality and
righrulness, 10 a certain extent, of the for.
eign slave traffic. Hence, said he, it wa:
that he could not favor the object sough
for in these petitions.

ca The democratic papers are trying 10
make il appear that Curtin, just elected
governor Of Pennsylvania, is not republi-
can, and some OF them have been bold
enough to say that he actually repudiated
the republican party, in the late canvass
and yet Col. Curtin was a member of the
Chicago convention, help nominate Lincoln,
and has every where avowed himself a sup.
porter of the Republican candidates. We
don't blame the democracy for whstling up
their courage, but they ought to blow
through some other trumpet than that Of
absolute falsehood.

The debate was further continued, and the

BILL INrRopUcEp.-By Mr.. Severens

mittce on Banks.
FRIDAY, Oct. 10.
The Senate adjourned to Tuesday of this
week, and in the House, Mr.. Dodge of
Lowell, wanted that when the House adj
iourn it be till o'clock Monday, of this
week. Mr.. Dickerman opposed. He dis
liked the practice which had grown up of
late, to adjourn over two OF three times du-
ring the session. 1t is waste of time and
needless expense to the State. The House
didn't dare TO adopt it then, 81 to GO. This
vote showed there was no quorum, and it
was moved that that the Sargeant-a t-arms
be directed 10 hunt up the missing members.
Mr.. Glead defended those who had gone
home A call of the House was made, and
100 members answered to their names.--
Another effort to adjourn couldn't do it,
yeas 81, nays So. Mr.. Glead said it was
of no use to try TO find those members who
had gone home, and moved that the Ser
geant-at-arms first find those who may be
in Montpelier. Finally the House adjourn
ed till o'clock on Monday last, which is
the same as to Tuesday of this week. If
the capitol had been built at Bellows Falls,
(where we have such superabundance of
hotels!) most of the members could go home
Saturday night, and return Monday morn
ing, and no lost time.

did well, generally. Most of the gold is
In quartz and has to be crushed in mills.
Those now using mills are inexperienced,
and will probably do better next year.
One mill crushed ten cords quartz in three
days and got $4,000. This was the best he
had ever witnessed, but had heard of others
who had done equally as well. The deep
er they go the better the quartz pays.
Says he has worked hard all summer, and
has not made much, but is not discouraged,
and thinks next season will be paving one

STILL ANoTHlR PLEA FOR a DOG LAW.
Last "Wednesday evening the pastures OF
T.. II. and A. S. Garfield Of Arlington,
were invaded by hounds, and between TWEEN
" and thirty fine merino breeding ewes,
worth from four TO eight dollars apiece, were
killed or MORALLY bitten. The dogs, which
it is morally certain did the mischief are
well known in the neighborhood, are fire.
quently seen roaming the pastures and
woods, aud were that evening distinctly
recognized by several persons by their yelp-
ings, while engaged in their work Of slaught-
er. And yet we understand there is prob
ably no legal proof of the fact which will
make their owners responsible. The same
is true in nineteen out Of twenty similar
cases. The havoc is made in the night, or
when there Is no witness of the decd 10
testify, and there is no more prospect of
recovering damages under such circum-
stances, than if it were occasioned by a
pack Of wolves.
We would suggest if ii is right for a
man TO keep large hounds which daily and
nightly roam the pastures and woods for
miles around, unattended by their owners
or any one else. If men find a qualification
in keeping such animals as may at any time
be immensely destructive to their neighbor's
property, ought they not at least be COM
PEELED by law TO keep them on their prem
Uses or under their own observation A
law that would compel every owner of
dog within two miles of the place of slaught-
er, TO prove an alb for his animal, or be
taxed with his other neighbors, whose dogs
were also out, to pay the damages incurred,
would be wholesome and just bennington
Banner.
